GOW actually has weapons and abilities that unlock through progression.In Hogwarts there are like a dozen different spells. All of which work differently from each other and all of which can be stacked or strategized for different outcomes.
And as the game goes on they throw different stuff at you you to force you to use those different strategies and outcomes.
And that goes on pretty much all the way to to end of the game.
In the first couple fights it was just “levioso” and spam the attack button.
By the end of the game i was doing elaborate combos where i could set up a whole room of like 8-10 enemies to die with one cast of “Avoda Cadabra”
There’s was a real sense of Progression and progressive difficulty. GOW don’t have that. Same weapons and strategies that get you through the first boss are the sales one you will use on the last.
