It's not the idea, it's the execution. It's done poorly both overall and with many smaller things like the kid being annoying, Kratos' interactions with other characters, characters being stupid with ZERO charm and retarded half-witted modern dialogue that makes the whole thing a pain to go through.
Simply just having a nice idea behind your story won't automatically make it good, your playthrough not a bore and your ears not bleed after hearing that kid and the annoying woman talk, it won't elevate everything else that's done bad or mediocre at best.
