Polygon journalists took note of the loading quirks in God of War, which was originally a PlayStation exclusive and is coming soon to PC on Steam.
On PlayStation 4, load times could be quite long, such as around a minute during fast travel. The developers masked them elegantly: Kratos and Atreus step into a special realm travel hub where Mimir tells stories. That is where the problem lies.
The load will not complete (the exit will not appear) until the story ends. As a result, owners of powerful PCs will be forced to wait roughly the same amount of time as console players, as they need to listen to the story all the way through.
However, as Polygon notes, Mimir’s stories are quite interesting.
God of War arrives on PC on Steam on January 14.
