For a spinoff portable game this was surprisingly really fun. The combat, like in God of War II, feels a lot more fair and fun compared to the original. The magic abilities weren't anything special and kinda just slightly different versions of past ones, but they are still fun to use. Zeus's gauntlet was a fun weapon as well. I usually like to make long and detailed reviews (at least as of recently) but there honestly just isnt much to say about this. Its fun, the finale was pretty sweet and boy are there lots of titties, far more than even the first game so I think that makes it the best one.
Only real complaint is the Helios temple section went on a little too long and I really dislike how much this series still relies on quick time events. Not much of a complaint but you get an absurd number of red orbs in this, i had like 70,000 at the end even after upgrading everything fully.
That all being said, the psp graphics are really charming, the story is good and if you just want more god of war then this is a damn good spinoff. I think Ill come back to platinum this in the future.

Side note: I beat Resistance 3 earlier today so the completion numbers are a little off here. I plan to review that once I get the platinum trophy :3

Trophy Completion - 82% (33/36)
Time Played - 7 hours 37 minutes
Nancymeter - 76/100
Game Completion #58 of 2022
May Completion #8

thanks! <3
great review! i agree with a lot of what you said! also felt like the helios was kinda dragging. i think ghost of sparta is the better game gameplay wise. i certainly had more fun with that game than chains of Olympus, still both are psp games.
