I haven't played the new one just yet. Didn't want to grab it at launch because I was skeptical about it for a variety of reasons, though after hearing nothing but good things about it, I'm probably going to grab it. Only after I finish the single-player game I'm currently going through, Tales of Berseria, though.

(Honestly, one of the reasons I was skeptical is still there despite the praise. It feels to me like it's going to be very hard to make me sympathize with Kratos after the original trilogy. They were fun games and all, but I watched him go on a murderous rampage and not bat an eye at the fact that a side-effect of his god-killing was to basically cause the apocalypse. Pretty hard to go from that to someone I could actually care about on any level, and it sounds like the new game is going for that, so...)
