I've been on the fence about God of War. I enjoyed the prior games, and I've been a little worried that the new format would diverge too much from the "feel" of the prior ones (which were very, very "video-gamey").
if you like the last of us and uncharted and games like that and think the idea of one of those games with a little bit more involved and action-RPG themed combat would be fun, and don't mind a game like that having part of its narrative be somewhat predicated on:
A. you having an awareness of kratos as a character and,
B. enjoying the the idea of juxtaposing that character's presentation up to this point with the more self-serious style of modern "cinematic" narrative-driven games going for an air of maturity and drama,
then it's pretty damn good and very enjoyable.
if you don't like that style of
video-games-as-interactive-stories type game, or if you have a really serious personal attachment to the notion of GoW games being frenetic button mash-fests that are basically linear 3D platformers, i could see this new game being a real big disappointment.
