This is exactly what a sequel game should like. God of war 2 builds on its predecessor's gameplay, its story and obviously the mechanics and graphics.
The story begins with Kratos being the god of war and flows through his fall from grace due to spoilery reasons and then eventual (start of) rise again.
The combat feels both nostalgic as well as fresh. The story feels just as bombastic as ever and the characters are fun and make nerds like me happy.
For its time, god of war was one of THE video game series and the middle entry holds its own. It has definitely aged over time, but I think it is still a worthy recommend even today!
