God of War is a PC game. That still felt weird to say as I wrapped up my second playthrough over the holidays. Not far above it on my Steam library sits another game that is ‘of War’ for a different master – Gears 5. Just a few years ago, these two tentpole series existing on the same device was impossible. Now they share a virtual shelf.
Sony’s latest angry dad game is evidence that the PC is the ultimate videogame unifier, and a great reminder of how the platform can bring out the best in games. I’ve killed my way across Midgard at 30fps on a PS4 and 4K on PS5, but I don’t think I can go back to either after 24 hours of buttery smooth monster chopping at 90fps. This is a damn good port, at least on my higher-end PC.
