I decided that I would look into the FOV complaints that I've heard with God of War. I've managed to overwrite the FOV with a custom value, although currently at the moment, it affects cutscenes and requires NOPing a few functions that constantly write to it during gameplay. There's probably a better way of doing this (Which won't affect cutscenes, I imagine there's a constant somewhere in the game code for the standard gameplay FOV, but this is an early work in progress.
During the beginning portion when you first have access to photo mode, it has a "73.72" degree FOV. This will probably affect cutscenes, and I've seen some oddities around object culling from a distance. Your mileage may vary.
Give this CT table a try, if you don't mind the current caveats. Keep in mind, you should use this with the day one patch that released, and memory offsets may change as the game gets updates or patches. I suspect someone will probably make a better patch, but this is a good starting point for those who want to investigate the FOV issue further:

Here's how to make this FOV God of War PC mod work
Download KingKrouchy's Cheat Engine table
Activate the Disable line
Active the Camera FOV and backup pointers and pointer result boxes
Change the FOV value to the desired one
Select both pointerscan result lines and edit both values at the same time and change FOV there as well
This should certainly improve situational awareness during busy combat fights. On the other hand, it may slightly diminish the immersive factor during non-combat gameplay.
