I was not a huge fan of the first God of War game because of its awful platforming sections. This was the last entry in the Greek saga and came out after God of War 3. The gameplay is different than other entries in the series and is much easier. The story is average but I don't like how it jumps all over the place. I also think some of the puzzles/sections drag on too long. Overall this is just an okay game; the story was clearly in a lull and needed to take a break and reboot the franchise which happened with the 2018 Norse game.

This may be the weakest of the God of War games but it's still way over-hated. The presentation is amazing, as always these games push their system's limits. The environments and level design are huge and wonderful to look at. The music is great too. The story isn't as necessary in this game but seeing Kratos a lot more calm and mellow in Ascension works super well.

The combat didn’t really need to be messed with but I think some of the experiments here are still good, I like the Blades of Chaos being interchanged with different elements instead of having different weapons, that’s neat. It also replaces the O button with temporary sub-weapons, which is cool. The combat makes this game stand out from the others in the series, and it’s pretty bold for doing that. Some other mechanics were changed kinda unnecessarily too, for example, climbing. Other than that, this is still a very fun game.

Overall Ascension is a good game, it’s lacking in the story department, and a lot of the gameplay changes feel unnecessary, but the beautiful presentation and action sequences make up for that. Regardless, the gameplay is still God of War, which means it’s brutal, epic, and violent action with amazing scale and spectacle. So, even if it feels like Ascension isn’t necessary, I still like its place in the series.

Jogar um jogo da franquia dublado parecia mentira para mim, mas quando eu comecei a campanha fiquei imerso, graficamente tão lindo quanto o 3 e com uma gameplay de mesmo nível também.

Edit: Cara eu tinha até esquecido que na real esse é o spinoff do começo da saga, depois dele matar a família e antes de virar o deus da guerra de fato, as inimigas eram as Erínias, as três megeras inseto kkkkkkkk e também tinha o Orkos que era filho do Ares mas não tinha o corpo perfeito para servir ao propósito dessa raça maligna, muito foda mesmo!

Sem contar o nome "Hecatônquiro" que sempre me fazia rir kkkkkkkkkk

Before I played it, I thought people's criticisms were unfounded, but they were right. It tells a part of the story that we don't need at all. I think we're witnessing one of the friendliest versions of the old Kratos. I liked the details of his wife, his daughter and the way they showed his thoughts about being a Spartan general. The sisters also aroused my curiosity. Gameplay wise, I didn't feel strong in the game. Breaking the enemies' defenses felt like a constant torture. This changes as you unlock new abilities, but it didn't leave a good impression at the beginning. God Of War 3 was the ultimate version of this form for me, but Ascension didn't satisfy me even though it came out after 3. I expected it to be better than the first trilogy and the side games.

Oynamadan önce insanların eleştirilerinin temelsiz olduğunu düşünmüştüm ama haklılarmış. Hikayenin hiç de ihtiyacımız olmayan bir bölümünü anlatıyor. Bence eski Kratos'un en dost canlısı versiyonlarından birine tanık oluyoruz. Karısı, kızı ve Spartalı bir general olmakla ilgili düşüncelerini gösterme biçimleriyle ilgili ayrıntıları sevdim. Kız kardeşler de merakımı uyandırdı. Oynanış açısından, oyunda kendimi güçlü hissetmedim. Düşmanların savunmasını kırmak sürekli bir işkence gibi geldi. Yeni yetenekler açtıkça bu durum değişiyor ama başlangıçta iyi bir izlenim bırakmadı. God Of War 3 benim için bu formun en üst versiyonuydu, ancak Ascension, 3'ten sonra çıkmasına rağmen beni tatmin etmedi. İlk üçlemeden ve yan oyunlardan daha iyi olmasını beklerdim.
