God of War 2 is still as great a game today as it was when I first played it. For a PS2 era game, the controls and combat all work perfectly well together. There are some really amazing boss battles in this game.

The one thing that kinda dips it for me now compared to when I first played it was just how many puzzles there were. As a kid I found them interesting, but now I was just meh about the puzzles.

But God of War II takes what God of War I did and improves on it in every possible way.
