God of War co-creator David Jaffe critiques Mega Cat Studios’ PS5 side-scroller God of War: Sons of Sparta, calling it a “terrible first-party game” and an “embarrassment” even after hours of play. He blames Sony and Santa Monica leadership (notably Mary Olson) for design choices like a younger Kratos and issues with visual language, readability, and UI, while giving the smaller studio some leeway.
