Video games have come a long way in the last twenty years and although some changes are for the better, some fans miss the way things used to be. This is the case for one player who recently revealed they miss the originalGod of War’shack-and-slash gameplay.

The originalGod of Wartitle saw its protagonist, the Spartan warrior Kratos, use his weapons in a series of hack-and-slash combos. However, in its recent adaptations, the combat relies more on close-range and tactical battles as well as Kratos’ ‘Rage’ ability which does just that – makes him into the Incredible Hulk’s less-green brother. Despite the remake’s success, not everyone is happy with this new style of combat in favour of its previous hack-and-slash gameplay.

“PlayingDante’s Infernoagain because of Halloween season, and it has me missing the old GoW type over the top hack-and-slash games”,saidone Reddit user. “I would love to see something like this done on an AA budget today.” Another user attributes the changes to the RPG genre, “The open world and RPG aspects really water down the experience also. I just miss the old formula and hate the current state of gaming where everything has to mimic other successful titles (open world, RPG) or be rebooted into something it never had to be to appeal to a larger audience.”
