After playing this as my first God of War and continuing with the following entries in order of release date, in retrospect, I see that it made me appreciate God of War 2018 and Ragnarok even more. An epic story, monumental set pieces, addictive gameplay, fun bit sized puzzles, this game has practically everything the newer games has but is limited only by the hardware of its time. For its age, this game can still be enjoyed by most people today that are open to trying it. I love Greek mythology and so seeing the appearances of certain Gods and the way they portrayed them was super cool and made me feel like a Marvel fanatic watching Infinity War for the first time. Unlike the newer installments, this game as well as the others in the trilogy feel much more repayable not so much for experimenting different builds but rather the fluid gameplay. I can totally see myself coming back to these and aiming for faster times or harder difficulties.
