Black_Hawk Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 So, as the entire world was going mad about Ragnarok I felt I needed to delve into the GoW saga because I was a complete virgin to the series. Hadn't played a single God of War game! I picked up GoW I about 1.5 months back and so far have completed... GoW I GoW II GoW III Gow: Ascension (All back to back without playing any other title in-between or along with). I have been completely immersed in the GoW universe and the lore along with the smashing gameplay has kept me completely hooked. Not to mention the tremendous action my thumb and index fingers have been getting lately! I completed Ascension last evening and thought will take a break before I pick up GoW 2018 or maybe switch things up and play some other title before I get into it but I seriously can't detain myself from jumping in, it's too darn tempting. And so installing it on my PC and beginning GoW 2018 tonight 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the guy literally forgot to jump after having a son and settling down apparently, and you play from a wierd 3rd person shooter perspective. Meanwhile Donte and Vergil both are 50+ yet total SSS gameplay, felt like a total boss playing Vergil in DMC5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty shitty bang bang Yup even Cory Balrog admitted it was hard for them to recover after Ascension bombed . And then it took them 5 years to launch GOW 2018 changing the overall tone and giving more focus on story and relationship between main characters.

Black_Hawk Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 (edited) Have been playing GoW 2018 and my goodness me what a change this has been from the previous GoW games which I played! I'm still getting used to the combat which is now almost from third-person perspective view and just mashing the circle button along with triangle or L1 (cyclone attack) is all a thing of the past now! The world is something else... it's like I start playing and I'm sent into a different world altogether, so beautifully mystical! Very refreshing change from how the previous GoW games panned out. This almost seems like a RPG! Absolutely loving the graphics on PC and the game running butter smooth on my new RX6600! I'm definitely taking my time with this game, no rushing at all. Exploring the map is so captivating. (I don't care that Kratos cannot jump at the press of a button and I for one like that the jump button only works at the moments in the game where it is needed. Very smooth and seamless). I wanted a long, story driven and immersive game to take me through winter and this is just perfect!

AtheK Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Yes a marked departure from the previous games. Now it's a bigger challenge for SSM team that what they do next, Kratos is only getting older, soon he will not be able to jump as much as he is able to do in this game, probably a crawl mechanic next. Need to see where they take the frachisee now, but don't think next game is coming for next 4-5 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumar123 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Just beat Ragnarok. Best looking game on the PS4 Pro. I had to fight myself constantly to stop taking screenshots. While the gameplay was miles better, I'm not sure about my feelings on the story. A really well made game that's way bigger than the first one in terms of content.

The PS2 games took only like 2 years to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
