The story is also incredible and really draws you in.

I got side tracked which is easy to do. As the game goes along there are lots of nooks and crannies that you can complete side quests in. Then I got four items that allowed me access to a new realm with tiered challenges, so I spent the majority of my time last night in there. I need to get back on track lol but the map is much more open than I would've thought. The amount of detail, not only in art, but story, goes way past the old God of War games. Definitely worth the $60 so far, $48 with Best Buy Gamers Unlocked =)

Realm of Fire? That’s what I was doing last night. Some of those get a little tricky.

Yeah, I got to the fourth arena and got to the, kill 100 enemies challenge. The problem is that it takes so long so if you fail at 15-30 three times straight, I'm just going to return to the main story and power up that way a bit. I got enough Smoldering Embers to make the armor set so it was worth the boost to get more well rounded stats. Plus, outside of LVL 5 Leviathan Axe talents, I already have every talent learned from every tree already. The shock arrows are ridiculous how they chain together to keep consistent stun/damage up on enemies, then you get the talent that allows him to fire 4 arrows instead of 3, so good.

Level 5 Hard is to not get hit once. I tried for 3 hours straight and just said F it spammed Atreus and dodged, hid like a b***h. You're in for a treat @ level 6. I'd honestly progress through the story more until

Spoiler!

you unlock your second weapon. Trying to beat level 6 with just the axe is insanity.

Don't read if you don't like spoilers but it'll save you a lot of anguish.

The SE armor set is legitimately good.

I looked up a best armor in the game video to see how the SE compared, and the video I saw showed the Mist armor on Niflheim but also that weapon you speak of. I'm excited to see how it comes about, I can't imagine I'm too far away. After I looked up that video I was pissed I spent so much time on the SE set lol, should just get the Mist set and call it a day.
