God of War blev sidste år afsløret til PlayStation 4, og selvom mange reagerede positivt på det mere modne fokus, implementeringen af den nordiske mytologi, og det centrale sammenspil imellem Kratos og hans søn Atreus, så har udvikleren bag været genstand for hård kritik.
I et interview med WCCFTech fortæller instruktør Cory Barlog, at det har været svært at modtage så hårde ord fra hardcore fans:
"Just a lot of people were very doubtful of what we were going to do. 'This is not God of War, this is going to fall flat, this is really bad'. I said: 'Look, I believe in this and if it falls flat, it falls flat, I'm just going to be fully leaping off the cliff'."
"It's not like I begrudge them for having that fear because they are very worried that no one's going to get this and everyone is going to think that this was just ill-advised. But I think that E3 2016 demo bolstered everybody and ignited their spirit and enthusiasm. I watched some reaction videos and a lot of people had the reaction I was hoping for, which was like: 'Oh my god, that's such an amazing boss and...oh wait, that guy's going to help you...what?'
