God of War (PS4)

Played for about an hour, up until the first boss, which took me four tries to beat until I figured out the obvious thing I was missing. From anyone else who’s played more, QUESTIONS AND REQUEST FOR ADVICE:

What difficulty are you playing on? I started on the second from the top, but wonder if the third is more appropriate. I have played all of the SoulsBorne games, if that helps.

Also, there are two HUD options, a regular, and an “immersive” option. I generally think I would prefer the immersive option, but wonder what you all think.

Initial impressions: Very impressive. Looks great. Not impressed with the combat so far, but wouldn’t expect to be. The menus are… daunting.
