"We've got God of War at home."

One thing before I start: the game has QTE that require pressing the Light or Heavy Attack button, mapped to the I and P keys respectively. You can do these attacks with the mouse too, but it won't work for the QTE: you have to press the keys for it to register. Either that or use a controller.

That said... yeah, it's GoW: you go through a linear path broken by arenas or light puzzles, mow down enemies with your scythe and magic, ride the bigger enemies to smash the smaller ones and press/mash buttons at the right time. Oh, you also got a companion that banters with you.

It definitely feels rough in various places: the QTE can be easy to miss, especially the masing ones since they appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen, the weapon upgrades are very simple and kinda boring, and the magic attacks kinda blur together due to how similar they are.

There are also "challenges", mini-games that pop up from time to time during the game: there's sliding, turret sections, "get all the glowing orbs" sections and a vertical shmup. Beating them nets you some extra experience.
They aren't that great, especially the last one due to the poor bullet visibility.

All in all, it's a bootleg God of War. It can keep you occupied for a few hours, but I doubt you'll come back to it after seeing the credits.
