Good for what it is.
The game lifts far too many ideas and story elements from the original God of War, all supported by a weaker story and weaker hardware, but I found myself surprised by how much harder a few story beats hit in this game than that one. The core gameplay was still very enjoyable, and the conclusion of the game was excellent, even if there was a fair amount of mediocrity preceding it.
I consider Chains of Olympus a worthy addition to the GoW lore and worth a single playthrough for those whom are able.
