FINALLY finished this! Emulated it on my steam deck and it was very fun. The fire mechanic is awesome but unfortunately the magic is quite boring compared to the other games.
I am surprised this game has so many people loving the story tbh, it’s not a focus here and what is there isn’t all that great. Wouldn’t call this a must play but it js a neat spinoff.

Je n'ai malheureusement pas pu finir le jeu de mon coté à cause de soucis d'émulation. Mais j'ai regardé un résumé car j'ai vraiment apprécié l'histoire qui est étonnamment bien pour un simple spin off sur PSP de base. De ce que j'ai pu jouer je me suis régalé, et la suite avait l'air également très réussie.
Games I Dislike That Everybody Else Likes
The only one of these I don't really care for. If you thought God of War III felt samey while also looking really grey and uninteresting, just wait until you get a look at this! After how much I dug Chains of Olympus I was expecting this one (its other PSP counterpart) to follow suit, but no - I'm shocked at how inconsequential this feels. Its most grievous sin is committing the video game prequel kiss of death: making every 'new' addition to its franchise lore seem completely pointless by setting it up just to delete it immediately after, so everything can go back to the status quo by the end anyway (rather than, you know, telling its own story that actually sticks around). Storytelling here is totally nonexistent, Deimos was done so dirty and even by GoW standards a lot of this is just futile misery porn BS. While CoO benefitted from its smaller scale, this one feels strangled by it - trying to tell this momentous, grand melodrama by rushing right through everything. It's got good things - Sparta is cool, all the boss fights are solid, the Arms of Sparta rock, and we (finally!!) even get some new enemies here that are fun to fight! Still have my usual quibbles with the combat though - stunlocks here there and everywhere, some bad hitboxes, the Wraiths are objectively bullshit to fight in this game, and - while I still vastly prefer it to GoWIII's item meter - one out of every two times you activate the fire meter it just does nothing lol. Strong contender for worst QTEs ever, too. Just an overall hollow, nothing experience. By this entry these games felt like they were starting to suffer from the same genre fatigue as, say, the Guitar Hero games in the late 2000s.

This game is incredibly good, the worst part of it is the combats, which in addition to being large in number, are repetitive, but the story is still incredible, you see how Kratos feels about killing his own mother, this game is what but it shows the human side of Kratos, you see him accepting and accepting death for his own brother just so he doesn't have to kill him, and Zeus's (digger) phrase: 'You became death, a destroyer of the world' is classic, and Furthermore, it justifies a little the hatred of Kratos from GOW 2, who starts very angry out of nowhere
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a spin off game for the PSP that follows Kratos on his journey to rescue his brother Deimos. God of War is a hack and slash action adventure game. As with all the God of War the combat is great and the story is captivating. Nothing good or bad specifically about God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

Ele cumpre as expectativas como um jogo portátil, sendo bastante divertido e apresentando uma história interessante para o arco do personagem Kratos. Infelizmente, a história não é canônica. O jogo oferece uma jogabilidade que alterna entre momentos de luta e puzzles. Gostei muito da experiência de completá-lo, principalmente porque foi o primeiro jogo da franquia God of War que eu terminei.
