God of War Ascension Review | Gameblog.fr

Greco-Roman mythology extensively reviewed by the grandiose vision of Sony Santa Monica studio still works as well, and this episode in Kratos' journey has written an important page in the history that led to the climb of Olympus to go spank the Gods.
VERDICT: VERY GOOD

When was the last SONY game that scored this HIGH on metacritic? It's been pretty lackluster as of late and Ascension is the highest rated retail SONY game in months! Possibly since MLB 12!
So SONY fans should be delighted with the scores. PS, Ni No Kuni is not a SONY game. Belongs to Namco Bandai.

Good_Guy_Jamal4062d ago (Edited 4062d ago )

No I believe MLB 13 is the highest rated SONY game since MLB 12. And that's just on the PS3 side, on the Vita I believe Littlebigplanet released in September and did very very well.

Skips4062d ago

MLB 13 The Show scored 86 breh.

Silly gameAr4061d ago (Edited 4061d ago )

Hingle, give it up dude. The game is awesome, and it's just one of the great games PS3 owners get to enjoy, including Ni No Kuni. If you feel the need to come into every GOW article and make believe the game sucks, keep it going.

Meanwhile, we'll just keep playing. Feel free to sign into your other user names and disagree.

(2011,2012)uncharted 3 ,journey, LBP 2.etc which all of them out score all xbox exclusives in the last 3 years
also ni no kuni and MLB13
let alone uncharted 2 and GOW3 etc of ps3 exclusives that xbox is yet to reach in scores
and let's not talk about GOTY awards and GFX awards because xbox is no where to be found in this talk

and dude you are trying way too hard

get over your self
your xbox could never handle a game like GOWA
your xbox would melt if trying running it

I'm completely fine with this game getting 8's instead of the usual 9's and 9.5's, so long as they review the next CoD, Assassin's Creed and Battlefield the same. GOW takes the hit, yet others get away with it. Oh well, still a better game than those I mentioned.

Good_Guy_Jamal4062d ago

What are you talking about? Assassin's Creed Revelations got a slew of 8's instead of the usual 9's. It too averaged 80 on metacritic. The same goes for Black Ops 2 although it ended up on a slightly higher 83.
Why do PS fans love playing victim? God of war isn't the first franchise to recieve less than stellar reviews so get over it.

i just think, ahh well the game may be taking a hit due to the multiplayer component (which i would never play anyway) so im buying solely for the campaign and im sure that will be very satisfying

delboy4061d ago

I'm bored with Cratos and GoW franchise.
Sony is milking GoW to death, 8 games in less then ten years it's to much, and no inovation in any of them. GoW 3 plays the same as GoW 1 or any GoW on psp.
Sony became worse then N with Mario.

Cratos killed Aeres in GoW3, end of story, or is he now trying to kill the rest of Olympus Gods with boredom.

God Of War Tried Multiplayer Too Early

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.

Ruined Ascensions story mode. Taking away the one button parry sucked.

abstractel516d ago

Not saying it was perfect but I really enjoyed it. One of the more unique MP experiences. Wouldn't mind them trying again.

Palitera516d ago

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.

hotnickles516d ago

I don’t play god of war for the multiplayer so it’s always too soon in my book.

Ranking the God of War Games

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.

ClayRules2012528d ago

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.

MrNinosan527d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012527d ago

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

Flawlessmic528d ago

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.

CrimsonWing69527d ago

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.

robtion527d ago

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.

Every God of War Game Ranked From Worst To Best

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.

Nacho_Z803d ago

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.

Army_of_Darkness803d ago

Yeah 3 was my favorite as well! The Poseidon battle was amazing! Gameplay wise and graphically!

neutralgamer1992803d ago

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

nevin1803d ago

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

generic-user-name803d ago

GOW 2018 2nd from the bottom? Behind 1? Behind the 2 PSP games?

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi803d ago

1. Gow 2018
2. Gow 3
3. Gow 2
