You mess with the crabbo...



Ha, I've literally been thinking about this lately because of a bunch of 2018 God of War chat that's popped up elsewhere.

The Stranger aka Baldur who shows up as the first proper boss fight is just nuts. You've had intro-level wandering around and some tutorial fights, then all of a sudden this guy shows up and has crazy moves and multiple health bars that can take ages to work through, you're at the point of of basically tearing off chunks of mountains to drop on him and he still regenerates his health afterwards :ohdear:

I guess there's definitely tougher fights later on, but that always sticks out as being a major challenge out of nowhere when I'm still just starting to get used to the basic gameplay.

Oh drat, I forgot about Driver. Yeah, I think that's probably the winner for most assholish intro moment of any game that I can think of.

The funny thing is, the demo version I played beforehand was just a little chunk of gameplay and it worked perfectly fine without all that. I was very surprised when I got the actual game.
