But if you find yourself in love with today’s Kratos, and you want to discover (or revisit) his long and tortured past, then play this trilogy ASAP. The first two games are worth playing all the way through, but the third installment makes for more of a curious detour than a final destination. However, the reboot redeems this game in a unique way in that you see why Kratos needed to just go chill out. It has some poorly-aged portrayals of women and little to no innovation in the gameplay or story department. Everything is very extra in God of War 3, including the hyperviolence in major encounters like the QTE decapitation of Helios and an eye-gouging end for Poseidon. The power fantasy the series had delivered evaporated as the third game leaned into all of the wrong tendencies.
Kratos's character devolved into a caricature of an angry-all-the-time asshole with whom players felt zero connection.
God of War 3 is, unfortunately, not the sequel fans hoped it would be.
God of War 3 brings all the brutality, but little else.
