Yeah I hated that moment, it broke my immersion. Everything feels so different from the previous game. The story is moving too fast and they're really dropping the ball with making Odin and co. seem even remotely intimidating, especially when they built them up so much. Everything the first game was leading up to feels very cheapened. Also the combat feels weak compared to how weighted it was in God of War 4.
Still gonna play but I'm honestly disappointed with the direction they took. God of War 4 is one of my favorite games.
I'm still at the beginning but I thought Odin was introduced in a good way. He more similar to a mob boss getting someone to drop an investigation so no one has anything unfortunate happen to them. With Thor being the muscle
I wanted something more like the Northman where the Norse gods and their followers are socially aliens, I feel like universalizing the modern man (helpful for Kratos/Atreus) is a missed opportunity with the death cult elder gods

That sounds bad. I liked 2018 fine, but found the story kinda meh. The one thing I really digged was the Odin crow surveillance state going on.
Though maybe that should be expected since one of the god boss battles in the first one was just two large adult sons.
I think that was my favorite fight tbh
Odin was played like he's the head of a crime family in the one scene he was in so far, I thought it worked reasonably well.

I played just the very beginning and I think Odin seemed neat, in that first scene at least. Certainly not what I was expecting
this sounds so disappointing
