Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the franchise. The creator noted that if developers want to pour their life experiences into their work, they should do it with new IPs and characters.

I'm confused, is everyone upset the new games have more depth or are they upset the new games oppose revenge?

Anti-revenge stories are blatantly shallow, preachy propaganda pieces that seek to fulfill a political agenda.

Pro-revenge stories absolutely can and often do have depth and well-written characters.

So let's stop conflating the two.
