'It's a Terrible First-Party Game': God of War Creator Expands on PS5 Side-Scroller Criticism
“It’s an embarrassment.” God of War co‑creator David Jaffe doubles down on Sons of Sparta — a raw, expletive‑filled but deeper critique after playing hours more. He rips the young‑Kratos angle, flags UI/readability/design flaws, and blames Sony/Santa Monica leadership (Mary Olson). He admits it’s competent, but says it’s a terrible God of War and a first‑party misstep.
