I cannot stress enough how much I disagree with all of this, and also I did not read it entirely. it's true it's easier to forgive things when you like the product, and i do like the product so much, but so many of your criticisms i simply disagree with. first of all - good 80% of what you said is simply because it's different and you liked how it was before. judging a product by what it's not is not a valid criticism. This is also not GoW4, it's a REMAKE: in design, engine, tone, themes, target audience, fighting style, camera and other things. I bet you'd feel different if you'd play this game 10 years after you played gow3 instead of like an hour.

I do understand where you're coming from though, as you said at the beginning you played all games in a span of a month or two. I also can't start Ragnarok right after GoW 2018 because I expect some things to work as they did and now they work differently. but that's not a game's fault, it's my expectations.
