Coming into the new God of War, I was excited but nervous about how the new Leviathan Axe was going to feel compared to the iconic Blades of Chaos. Over the years I have eventually gotten sick of the Blades of Chaos but I will not deny that they are fairly iconic and it is and will be a fantastically designed and visually stunning weapon.
However having played the new God of War this is not even a contest. The Leviathan Axe is one of the greatest weapons ever made in a action game. It is one of those rare weapons that combine heft, weight, brutality, flexibility and combat depth in a way very few weapons do. While it feels sublime mechanically what elevates it is the absolute fantastic audiovisual experience. Just recalling the axe feels soooo satisfying and badass.
I will have to put in this non spoiler Sunhi gif that communicates how awesome it is to use!
Does anyone else agree that Leviathan >>> Blades ?
