I've only ever played on GmGOW both on PC and Playstation this game and 2018. it's not hard once you know how to approach it.

I played and finished from start for GOW 2018 back on release. I remember it was pain in the A@#. Going again XD

[PandaSav]

Yup, finished the game plus King and Gna on GOW difficulty on my 1st playthrough. Now going for ng+ XD

Is this your first ever time playing the game or have you played it before on PS... if you have played the game before, the argument is kinda moot in a way cos of the knowledge of enemies.

Beating the game on GMGOW with 100% in game completion having never played the game ever is the real deal IMO. I did that with 2018 (only did GMGOW and GMGOW+) and am doing the same on Ragnarok.

Yeah one of the best experiences for this game if you're a HC gamer, including souls fan!

You havent answered my question pal...

I did it right off the bat but only because I knew what to expect from playing GoW 2018. It's not as hard as you'd think.

Hrolf is a chump even in NG+ GMGOW. There are added mechanics but if you have the proper gear, it's easy. I like to fight bosses while I'm 2 levels below. Purple life bars. The berserkers are too easy. Gna on NG+ though is too tanky. I made a luck based build that refreshes my relic quickly. She basically ignores Hilt of Skofnung. She still takes damage but she moves like she isn't being hit which makes it harder to read her moves since the swords are obstructing your view.

Like it because unlike many other games diffculty here is not based on just more HP and less DMG.

Game really makes you learn the enemy and be wise in your approach.

Use the skills smart and build them accordingly.

Then after a while it becomes "easy" :)

After turning OFF aim assist and lock on and entire HUD - game is amazing.

GMGOW is much better in this game than in the 2018 one (I am talking about regular ng, not ng+). Both regular enemies and bosses are much more balanced. 2018 was a slog, game had more enemies above your level, which were tanky beyond any comprehension. Bosses were more tanky as well.

Most of the berserkers and especially king and gna. You really must know their patterns, counters and when to use spartan rage to cancel some of the mistakes you made to survive!

Both games 2018 on PS4 and 2022 on pc, I only started with Give me GOW difficulty and finished both. Never focused on 100% achievement. I'm a boss battle fanatic!
