Okay okay, you read the title and you probably already are typing an angry comment however, hear me out. God of War (2018) is a great game. In no way am I saying it is a bad game. What I am saying however, is that it is not a “God of War” game. In my opinion it has tarnished the legacy and reputation of the classic Sony franchise. Let me explain.
Ever since Sony has entered the gaming space in the mid-’90s following the breakup with Nintendo on development on a cd drive for the SNES, they have practically taken over the gaming space with first-party titles and hardware that always seems to outsell the rest every generation. In the early days, it was Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot. As time went on, they got more games. One of those games as PS2 game called God of War, released in 2005, it was a Devil May Cry style game based in Greek Mythology. It truly felt special for its time and still holds up today. As the years went on, Sony kept making God of War games.
During this time of the PS3 era, they also had games like Uncharted and Last of Us among more. Sony had become known for this interactive movie immersive game style. It was solid and they were good games. However, God of War always felt different due to its less serious nature of pick up and play and it was genuinely more fun. It wasn’t as deep as the other games,though deep in its own ways, and it strikes a really well-made balance.
