God of War II - Part 4
0The PS2 was home to several games that are now considered groundbreaking classics through it's impressive 13 year lifespan, and it was the launchpad for some wildly successful franchises, among them God of War. God of War was hugely popular before I dipped my toes in with the 2018 PS4 outing, but I've wanted to explore the previous entries since, considering how much I enjoyed the modern day masterwork - and I greatly enjoyed the first with it's massive set pieces, fluid combat and platforming through it's Greek mythology inspired setting - however the second is where I feel the series really gains traction.
After defeating Ares and becoming the new God of War, Kratos commands the hordes of Sparda and thrives on violence to deal with the guilt of his past and gain the respect of the gods - Athena tries to calm him and disuade him from flaunting his power but this doesn't stop him from attacking Rhodes, resulting in Zeus taking his powers and leaving him for dead - this ignites a quest for revenge (again) that will lead Kratos through several beautifully designed areas, smashing up mythological enemies and characters (such as Icarus, Perseus and Zeus himself) and solving well thought out puzzles.
This HD master doesn't quite shake the foundations of action platforming the way that the original release did - it truly was the definitive game of the genre when it was released, eclipsing the likes of Devil May Cry and Prince of Persia - Though Bluepoint have done an excellent job, as they always do.
