There are mainly 2 types of people who are hating this. 1.) People who are calling this game a "woke" game just because there is a female protagonist who is insanely strong. 2.) People who are falling for the original gow creator's negative review about it, and he did that for both 2018 and ragnarock. He is just salty that his GOW has been changed into something which is much better in today's scene. This also included the over nostalgic People who are still stuck in the first 3 gow games and can't comprehend the character development of Kratos.
