Since the earliest days of the series, there have been consistent calls for the studio to explore the Egyptian pantheon. Considering Egypt’s ancient mythology is arguably ranked amongst the most popular and instantly recognizable in the world, alongside the two settings Kratos has already slashed his way through, this isn’t shocking. Whether Santa Monica Studio heeds those calls and finally steers the franchise in that direction post God of War: Ragnarok remains to be seen, however....

Not knowing when and where the last checkpoint was can also be an issue and is one of many reasons why so many players do not fully trust autosave,...
