"God of War 3 had one of the best openings ever in the history of videogames. The game threw so many titans at you in a short period that it led to another titan standing still inside your pants."
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.
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.
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.
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
The fight against hecaton is like if you were fighting Cronos at the beginning of the game, so I really dont get all this nonsense.
Everyone on one hand rates a game of series, as just an action game and not part of a franchise (cough DMC cough), and in the other hand they rate this game as part of the franchise and compare it a lot with GOW3, saying that it is not as epic, but neglect that the game is very epic, and that every other aspect in this game is better than in GOW3. The combat is better the pacing is better, the multiplayer is a lot of fun. In general the game is more polished than GOW3. It is like if the reviewers are depressed or something because of the trials of archimedes, that they had to take some kind of vengeance because they felt stupid while playing that part.
I really don't know what the hell reviewers are playing!
Loving this game so far!!!!! Graphics make my screen melt lol. The mp is addictive as hell (im already level 15 and i would be higher if i didnt work so much). Its all out war and mayhem and i love it. To be honest if i was a reviewer i would have rated it higher due to the great mp and the best yet the servers have been running flawless for me (this day in age it is rare for servers to run flawless day one)
The problem with some reviewers are that they feed into the talk from other bias sites and it changes how they review things. I bet most these sites downplaying GOW4 will give another sequel that adds nothing at all and is the same gameplay higher scores, praising it saying "True to its other sequels it sticks to the same formula which works so well" lol smh
I'm just not seeing how anyone can score this game under an 8. What I've played so far is awesome.
