It has managed an overwhelmingly positive ranking with positive reviews...
Wasn't obvious to me. When GoW4 was announced I wasn't even thinking about TLoU. The two games don't even play remotely the same, or have the same kind of story, atmosphere, content, or really anything in common at all. The two games couldn't be more different in terms of tone or gameplay. Nothing about God of War 4 reminds me of TLoU. GoW4 is also a waaaaaay more fun game than TLoU. Vastly superior gameplay. I was never a big God of War fan either. I only really liked two games in the series before 4 (Ghost of Sparta and God of War 3). GoW4 doesn't play at all like any of the previous GoW games (and has quite a different tone), but I gave 4 a whirl and it ended up really sucking me in. I had some real reservations about the game going in, especially with him dragging his kid around, but it all worked out pretty dang well.
I've watched gameplay videos of it even before it came to PC and I just wasn't convinced. It's definitely not something I'd buy full price.
I paid $10 for a physical copy in 2019. The game is old enough that it shouldn't have launched on PC for fifty f*cking dollars. $20 might have been a much more appropriate price.
I wasn't sold on it until I got hands-on (which I was lucky enough to do before I purchased it, thanks to a friend).
