TL;DR

Sony's PS5 exclusive God of War: Sons of Sparta, a 2D metroidvania spin-off exploring Kratos' youth, launched to a 66 Metacritic score — the fourth-lowest for a first-party PS4/PS5 release this generation — marking the first major critical flop of 2026; while critics are unimpressed, consumer reception is somewhat warmer and sales could still recover as the year progresses.
