Blades of Fire doesn't do itself any favours pairing Aran, its rugged action hero with godlike powers, a tragic past, and a broken heart, up with a much younger sidekick he insists on calling "boy" and "kid" far too often—but cracking through the Kratos of it all reveals a game that's trying to leave a more exploration-heavy mark on the cinematic action genre. These are places to be savoured, not slaughtered.
