The most memborable part of the experience for me, was how spectacular the final battle looked. Other than that...it was a middling experience overall.

Can you still get the Platinum? I know there is 1 online trophy tied to it. I guess is MP still working?
I also gotta give credit for the graphics & art style/direction at least.
Still pretty stunning for a last God of War game on PS3.

All I remember from the game was beating the trials of archimedes PRE PATCH like the true GoW veteran I am!!!😎😎😎
I personally have ome issues with the combat but it's an amazing game imo. Will probably play it again on PSNOW

Oh yeah the parry being L1+X was annoying. I think I just assumed that the previous games were like that and I'd forgotten but thinking back I think it was just L1. Also the parry animation always opens you up for too long to get hit which was pretty annoying.
Also I was actually surprised to see Troy Baker's face pop up in the BTS videos, did not recognise him as Orkos in the game.
The PS3 store almost closure was a big kick up the butt for me to start playing through these older games before I won't even be able to.
I got the trophy years ago, but I think it's just for doing the tutorial, so you won't even need to get into a proper game to get the trophy. The servers were mostly working last I checked (a few months ago).
Oh ok. Yeah funny thing is I likely got the platinum on the older PSN account years ago but wanted to replay them on the current one and get the platinum again.
I really enjoyed this game but I feel it was worse than it should be.
I thought the whole timeline changing all the time was bad. I would have liked a more linear story.
I also thought the way the bar that fills worked sucked. It shouldn't have been that hard to build it and unleash it.
Other than that it was fun. Loved the enemy designs and the graphics. The gameplay was fun though not as good as GOW3 or Ghost of Sparta.

Just finished my own replay up last night, and I honestly think the Statue of Apollo is the best piece of large scale level design that SSM has ever done.

I think they did the constant timeline change so they could start off with a set piece, but it was so confusing. I also didn't like how somehow future Kratos wouldn't have an item until past Kratos collected it.
Also with the game being a prequel, I find it weird Kratos can climb things in this one and suddenly not be able to in the sequels. It's a pet peeve, but I generally hate when prequels introduce a new mechanic that the disappearance of isn't properly explained.
I did really like that part of the game. Especially slowly rebuilding the statue using the little trinket you get. The GoW games have always been good with this sorta stuff and this one was the same.
Yeah I agree with you.
I would love if they added a more linear option to play. Forgot the name of it but that game with Elliot Page that sony published added a feature that made the story linear and it would be great if Ascension gets one some time if they rerelease it.

Oh yeah, Beyond: Two Souls. Wonder how that would go with this game's story.
I'd love if PlayStation or some random YouTuber made a video containing all of the games' stories. I've played through all the God of War games and really enjoyed the stories, but I can't remember much outside of vague details like GoW is where you kill so-and-so and II is where you have this fight etc.
GoW would actually make a decent TV series I think, provided it's done well (i.e. Tom Holland is cast as Kratos).
Forgot to reply to you lol
I agree with you on the tv point. It would be awesome and I feel GOW could work really well as a movie or TV series.
