Can “God of War – Ascension” Ascend To The Top?
God of War 2 was my favorite of the series.
The original God of War introduced us to Kratos and his quest for
revenge. God of War 3 completes this story with a rather flawed ending.
But it was God of War 2 which mixed action with puzzle solving extremely
well, which made the game unique in comparison to the other two. Don’t
get me wrong, both the original and the last game in the series had many
good puzzle solving elements and were brilliant games in general, but
God of War 2 added time shifting to the mix and some truly incredible
moments(horse riding anyone?) which really stood out in my opinion.
After I was done with God of War 2, the bar was set extremely high. And
as such, I wonder if Ascension can raise it ever higher.
Well
for starters, the graphics have received an overhaul, which is a
testament to the hard work done by Santa Monica, given how great God of
War 3 looked at the time of release. Even the action element has
received a big overhaul. If the game-play trailer is any indication, the
latest entry in the series will be more action packed and more gruesome
than ever. And who doesn’t like the extra dose of gore in a video-game?
I certainly do.
