God of War releases on PS4 in a few days, so we decided to walk you through the fundamentals of the game's new axe-swinging combat. >If you've watched any number of trailers or previews over the past several years, you probably know the new God of War swaps the singular camera angles of its predecessors for a more fluid over-the-shoulder perspective. While it may seem as if this limits your combat opportunities, it actually provides a novel combat system. Similar to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, God of War translates your point-of-view into an up-close-and-personal school of gameplay.
