The simply-titled God of War<\/em>\u00a0marks the return of Playstation<\/a>‘s now-iconic deity-killer Kratos in a whole new adventure which takes a detour from the franchise’s Greek roots and dives into the bearded-world of Norse mythology. While Kratos is a brutal, violent, and tragic character, we finally get to see another side of him and the toll his previous bloody adventures have take on him, resulting in one of the best games in the series.<\/p>\n

The God of War<\/em> games<\/a> are known for their button-mashing gameplay loop; and while they’re unrelentingly fun, there’s no denying that the series needed a little bit of a shake-up to the formula. Sony Santa Monica have delivered exactly that, breathing fresh life into everything from the story, combat controls, player perspective, and theme of the game. The ultra-violent, fight-first-questions-later approach has been peeled away, with a more sombre and tactical approach being applied to the franchise’s blueprint \u2013 this game looks like a\u00a0God of War<\/em> game, walks like a God of War<\/em> game, and even talks like one \u2013 but it is essentially something new<\/em> entirely.<\/p>\n
