The God of War games are the truest video game adaptation of classic source material because Greek myths were all kinds of completely hosed up and ridiculous.

Seriously, when they weren't debating philosophy and math, the Greeks pretty much sat around making up stories about monsters and violence and rape and poo poo, occasionally pausing to make statues of their OCs (because they didn't have DeviantArt and so effort was required)

Ancient Greeks = OG Goons



Anyway, yeah God of War games are pretty fun. The second one was the best.

I love how the architecture in some places looks like it belongs in the 1400s and not 800 bc or whatever. Or murals etc.

Glad I'm not the only one who notices these problems.

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
I liked the first game a lot and God Of War 2 was one of my favourite ever games when it came out. It still might be but I played it so much I wrung every possible drop of enjoyment out of it. God Of War 3 was disappointing because all it really did was pretty up the graphics, the gameplay was still the same as ever. It's still a lot of fun but you could just end the series with God Of War 2 really.

I don't think I ever played GoW 2, only 1. What made 2 so much better than the others?

2 expands the movesets and you don't have to have full rage to do super mode. There are some cool boss fights and a parry/counterattack mechanic when you get a specific item.

3 is just more of 2 but now there's first person QTE's when you're killing gods

1 and 2 are poo poo. Never played any others.

BUT the subweapons in 2 are actually fun. Too bad they are worthless

Kratos' s voice actor is the furthest thing from his character.

Still not having fun in Ascension, but I am too far to give up on it now. I'm hoping the cutscenes will at least be amusing. This amulet of time poo poo gimmick is annoying.
