"It’s perfectly understandable why Sony would commission another God of War game. Still, I believe after Ascension, asking for more God of War with Kratos might be too heavy a burden for him to carry."
God of War's forgotten multiplayer mode was introduced nearly a decade ago, but it may have been a great addition if it was implemented now.
Not saying it was perfect but I really enjoyed it. One of the more unique MP experiences. Wouldn't mind them trying again.
It was nuts that they actually managed to make that experience work so well.
The story might have been the weakest (story-wise) in the main series, but the MP was super fun and well done.
Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.
I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.
But here’s how I rank them
5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.
Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1
1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1
Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.
I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.
However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.
I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.
I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.
BLG writes: "God of War has evolved significantly since the first game launched in 2005. Each subsequent entry has brought something new to the series, be it new power sets, fighting styles, and in the case of the 2018 reboot, a whole new combat system. Therefore, a major component in ranking every God of War game is that game’s impact on the franchise."
2 is my all time favorite with Ascension being my least (but still worth playing). First time dealing with the colossus of rhodes as well as the scale of the steeds of time... just a great game overall.
3 is the best for me, closely followed by the reboot. The reboot lost some of the spectacular scenes in favour of deeper gameplay, 3 was jaw dropping at times. I'm hoping the next game will have the best of both.
Yeah 3 was my favorite as well! The Poseidon battle was amazing! Gameplay wise and graphically!
Honestly first 2 were amazing. I really wanted Sony yo bring back David jaffe and have him do his own version of God of war reboot working in different mythology. David and Cory could make sure story made sense but I think God of war is a big enough series where multiple entries at the same time
1. GOW 3
1. GOW 2
2. GOW: Ghost of Sparta
3. GOW 1
4. GOW: Chains of Olympus
5. GOW(2018)
6. GOW: Ascension
GOW 2018 2nd from the bottom? Behind 1? Behind the 2 PSP games?
Your street cred is taking a hit today.
Agreed! Now they are just milking the franchise.
I think there should be no more lots of things but why should Sony Santa Monica and GOW be the one to step up and stop? What about all the other franchises out there dragging their heels and being squeezed dry but still have plans for sequels? Sony Santa Monica must not take the chance that their next game might sell 3 million copies and be well received just because some idiots want them to take a chance on a new character or franchise that could easily be rejected while everyone else craps out the same game every year an cashes in?
What is with the stop the Sony franchises speeches these days? Kratos is a complex character unlike many characters out there and no matter how shallow they are and they still get sequels.So unless people are going to stop those over used characters and games too I say bring on more Kratos. Stop making more Assassins Creed, Halo, Mario, COD, MW and Fable games, THEN we can talk. As long as Kratos's adventures continue to be epic that is fine with me. But if they start making Kid Kratos and GOW racing, THAT is a problem.
I believe Kratos got his revenge and part 3 ended very well
the story can continue on, the death of the greek goods could have created a vaccum than another pantheon of gods decide to fill.... it isnt a foreign idea it's been done before, anyone remember the tv series Hercules with kevin Sorbo (loved it) after the death of zeus, herc encountered gods and demigods from several different religons like that kat gilgamesh, who were under the influence of a new dark god, i believe his name was daehawk, even marvel created differant patheons in their comics remember the odin/zues thor/herc beef...... with good writing we could see some good sequels..... JUST SAYING
