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. He argues the game is competently made but fails to live up to the GoW name, a stance that aligns with his broader negative take on Sony’s first-party direction.
