In movies, it's tough to beat the original, but that doesn't seem to be the case with God of War. Although it is one of the strongest entries in the God of War franchise, other God of War games had a slight edge.
Still, playing the first God of War is a must-do for fans of the series. Vital plot points are contained in the game, and not mention, its highly enjoyable gameplay has stood the test of time. The series went leaps and bounds with the second entry in the God of War series. The gameplay and story was a significant improvement, and the amount of polish made the game near perfect. God of War II is a game that you can return to time and time again.
We really got to witness the deeply flawed character of Kratos in the second God of War, learning about his relentless thirst for power. Without a doubt, God of War has proven itself to be the best finest God of War game ever developed. Up until the release of God of War, we had never seen a hack and slash game with such a compelling narrative. Sony reportedly cuts back PlayStation 5 production again due to chip shortage. Epic launches appeal against Apple court ruling. Feature Sexism and harassment in the games industry isn't just about big names: the entire culture must change.

Fast-forward to two years later and we have God of War II , a sequel to the original game that expands and improves upon the foundation set by the original. Having killed Ares and become the new God of War, Kratos is not on very good terms with the other gods. He is in fact, understandably, something of a black sheep. After he is manipulated and stripped of his power by Zeus, Kratos allies himself with the Titans in preparation for his final act of vengeance — the destruction of Mount Olympus.
On top of that, several new weapons were added, and the combat feels smoother and more streamlined. Much like the original, God of War II was met with near-universal praise from critics. Probably the least remarkable entry in the series, God of War: Betrayal was released soon after God of War II for mobile phones running Java, making it the only God of War game not to be released on a PlayStation platform.
However, things take an unexpected turn after the sun disappears from the sky and the world falls into darkness. It is now up to Kratos to find Helios , the missing-sun God, to figure out what is going on.
Overall, Chains of Olympus does a great job of bringing God of War to a mobile platform as the gameplay is fluid, varied and as satisfying as ever. Of course, the graphics and the scope did suffer due to the technological limitations of the PSP, but this is quite understandable. Much like the previous games, the reception was overwhelmingly positive, and the game was included in two PS3 collections later on: the God of War: Origins Collection in and the God of War Saga in This simpler, more intimate story managed to surprise at times, and resolved with some genuine character growth for Kratos.
Despite the C-tier list of gods to contend with, though, the action is still as familiar and satisfactory as any player can ask for. Ascension largely rests higher than some of its siblings thanks to the excellent presentation afforded by the hardware it was released on.
For many gamers, walking by the demo booths at Walmart or Circuit City was filled with the wonder of witnessing an enraged Spartan fend off a towering, three-headed hydra in the most violent display of action heroism our young, innocent eyes had ever seen. It was this sense of scale and bloody grandeur that would carry the God of War franchise for an entire decade, and for good reason.
Whereas Ascension feels like a series of setpieces strung together by a committee running out of ideas, God of War feels like an actual journey, from the lowest street of Athens to the highest peaks on the Cliffs of Madness. More importantly, every second of combat feels powerful, flooding the eyes with flurries of color and mayhem as enemies fill the screen. For a game called God of War , it seems striking to have so few figures of ancient history present, even in this first template-setting adventure.
