Watching a streamer do a let's play it appears this game isn't much different than God of War. It is a linear story, like God of War, it has combat sequences with enemies that require specific types of maneuvers to defeat and they come in swarms, you can upgrade your perks, weapons, and move sets and has light environmental puzzles with multiple levels of trajectory movement.
I understand that the game isn't running 60fps on consoles, so that is a definite hindrance. While God of War has that AAA title polish, this game definitely took a lot of ideas from the God of War reboot and put it into a science fiction alternate Western reality.
The game looks pretty and while it isn't as fully fleshed out as God of War, it looks like a solid game with an old school arcadey action that reminds me of Bulletstorm by People Can Fly.
