One thing I happened to notice that the review was getting at, is in the first God of War, think about it, Kratos truly had a human side to him. In most of his cinematic flashbacks he actually showed some sort of emotion, example "By the Gods...What have I become.."
I believe what they did to Kratos from the first game to the second was a huge leap in him having absolutely no morality anymore, whatsoever. He was just about to kill himself when the Gods abandoned him, but now wants to kill them all.
He's pretty much an angry employee that got laid off after just being promoted after 10+ years of work, and is slaughtering all the higher ups for vengeance. Yeah, there we go.
You know what, from now on, whenever anyone even hears the existence of Kratos anywhere, just move to a whole 'nother continent. Although granted, that won't stop him, he WILL find you.
One of the game developers, director of combat, said so himself that you can't simply mash out square square triangle the whole way. "Go on and do it, see what happens."
Insinuating, it's not so much a one weapon button mashing game anymore. If you want something close to that, just put it on Mortal (Easy) and maybe you'll get to mash.
There's no excuse, those who can't get far without mashing the same buttons on the same weapon, they suck. Learn combos.
