Title
“God of War II” brings the formula of the first two games to Play Station 3 with minor variations but with a much more epic sense of scale. There is really nothing we haven't already seen in the previous games, but the graphic upgrades, the fluidity of the gameplay, and the epic boss fights are enough to make it the pinnacle of the series before the soft-reboot in 2018. It’s almost a boss rush with a bunch of puzzles in between, but the pleasure of slaying all Greek gods one after another is just tempting to resist. All the weird puzzles and frustrating platformer sections have been highly improved, but on the other hand, they will hardly offer any challenge. The first boss fight with Poseidon right at the beginning of the game was enough to make me proud of having a Play Station 3 in my living room.

The plot has never been the strongest point of the franchise, and this game makes no exception. It picks up from the cliffhanger of “God of War II” and continues the same revenge story with no major surprises.

    Nothing here has ANY weight to it in terms of combos or combat. Nothing you do in the story matters in the absolute slightest.
    There is no emphasis whatsoever on the things Kratos does after murdering the Gods that makes me feel as if the Earth is truly within peril.
    All GOW3 boils down to is: a long one leveled tech demo to show off the ‘mass’ of the game and its ‘super amazing’ in game cutscenes.

    Thank FUCK this series actually went somewhere

      "There is no emphasis whatsoever on the things Kratos does after murdering the Gods that makes me feel as if the Earth is truly within peril."
      Did you even watch the cutscenes? Watching the world get flooded after the sea levels rise, the sun getting blocked out and locusts swarming the earth after you defeat a boss is fantastic; it's more atmospheric and immersive than literally every open-world and "atmosphere" focused video game. It feels like a rhapsody in Video Game form.

    Yeah the game and combat are mindlessly easy but that's not the point, mowing everything down is cool and it's mostly fun for the insane campy grotesque spectacle of it

      GOW 1, 2, 2018 and Ragnarok, on higher difficulties, are all actually pretty fucking hard. This is the one outlier where every game mode is really easy. I don't know why. Probably because this was the early 2010s where gaming was at its absolute worst when it came to streamlining old franchises for broader appeal. But it made for it in spectacle.
