The story's lack of depth is a major flaw. It doesn't dig deep enough into the mythology it's based on. For instance, it could have explored more about the different realms and their cultures, but it mostly just uses them as backdrops for Kratos' battles. Also, the character arcs are weak. Kratos doesn't really evolve in a complex way throughout the story. He's still mainly focused on his revenge from start to finish, and other characters don't have strong enough arcs to complement or contrast with his.
One of the problems with the story in God of War 3 Remastered is that it's a bit predictable. Players can easily anticipate what's going to happen next in the story. There's not enough surprise or twists. Additionally, the storytelling is sometimes disjointed. Some scenes seem to be there just for the sake of having action, rather than contributing to the overall story progression. And the story doesn't really leave much room for interpretation or speculation, which can make it less interesting for players who like to analyze and think about the story after they've played.
