God of War (2018) ~ video game review

Title - God of War
Played on PlayStation 4


God of War is a video game from Santa Monica studio published in 2018 by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It's the sequel to God of War III but also somewhat of a reboot to the franchise. Different settings, different mythology, different antagonists, but same old Kratos, the fallen Greek God of War, now with a son and a new journey awaits him.

2020 is the year that I went back into console gaming and this game is the first game that I've completed story-wise. I feel like it's the perfect introduction for me to the games of this generation; it won a lot of awards, highly praised by critics and beloved by fans. Well, it also came free with the console bundle that I bought so yes, it make sense for this to be one of the first game that I played.

Although I have enjoyed a lot of playthrough of the games in the franchise on YouTube, my experience in playing the games myself is not much, I've only played the first God of War game on PlayStation 2 which I must say was an amazing experience, I love that game. But the franchise has evolved throughout the years and with the 2018 God of War, a lot has changed not just in gameplay but narrative-wise as well.

My 2020 Top 60 Songs: The Best From K-pop Female Groups ~ No. 60 - No. 51

Alright, it's that time again to countdown my favourite songs from female K-pop groups for 2020, and yes, I'm late as usual. I increase the number of songs again, it was 50 songs for the 2019 list and now it will be 60 songs. Why do I have to do this to myself? It's a fun documentation to make from my end so at least that's something.

Don't waste any more time, shall we? Here are the songs from number 60 to 51.




Dreamy and futuristic are two words that came to my mind when I listen to this song. The group is talented but very under rated in my opinion, hope they will get more recognition. The music video is obviously low budget but it's still good and artistic, do check it out.




I feel like LOONA songs always have that international appeal to it and So What is no exception. The music video looks nice too with some very interesting locations like in a subway train and on a roof of a building with what seems like an abandoned building as the background. I think they filmed it in Thailand? Anyway, it looks nice and it gives different vibe than the regular K-pop music video that usually filmed in a studio.




It's hard not to like WJSN songs; they always sound good and pleasing to my ears. While Butterfly is a wonderful song, the music video for it seems more simplistic to me compared to their other releases, I wonder why is that?
