God of War Sons of Sparta has found itself under fire by folks unimpressed by the big, final announcement of PlayStation's February State of Play being a 2D Metroidvania, but fans say we should be encouraging releases like this rather than bringing them down.
At the time of writing, Sons of Sparta doesn't have that many critic reviews logged on Metacritic, but it currently sits with a slightly mixed score of 73. Not awful by any means, but a fair number of players have been dunking on the game online. Criticisms have included its visuals, with some calling it "ugly," while others simply aren't jazzed about the genre, saying: "We have plenty of generic indie side scrollers, please make it stop."
