What’s more interesting about this Give Me God of War difficulty setting is that it isn’t simply an algorithmic increase in difficulty. According to Cory Barlog: “We did a ton of stuff to make it (Give Me God of War Difficulty) a genuine challenge, not a cynical increase. Enemies are all changed up. We changed the attack patterns of things; it’s hugely different.”
