19.5.2022
People widely hailed 2018’s God of War as a near-perfect action game. But it stumbled in one way: Its text was too damn small! Even a post-release patch, intended specifically to increase the font size, didn’t really do much. Thankfully, that issue won’t be the case with its sequel, God of...
