God of War was fun, but I don't know if I'll ever have a desire to replay it. Too much of it is about the first time experience.

This. It's a good game that everyone should get but it also struck me as a game without much replay value.

I thought about sitting through the long drawn out cinematics and stuff. Them adding the ability to skip cutscenes is a great thing of course and was pretty mandatory.

Also exploring the world is a big part of the experience and once you know where to go and what to do, it also sorta loses a lot.

Another thing it's lacking for NG+ is decisions. Big games can have tons of replay value (think like Witcher 3) if you give the player a ton of decisions to create a different story/experience. God of War main story line is 100% linear.

Not really the type of game where NG+ makes sense which is why it probably wasn't in the original release. Still a great feature for them to add for free and I'm sure a lot of people will tackle it. Gotta respect them for not making it DLC.

My plate is just too full in terms of games to give it a go, maybe one day in the future.
