Set in the realm of brutal Greek mythology, God of War III is a single-player game that allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he scales through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, and an array of new weapons and magic for this iteration of the trilogy, Kratos must take on mythology's darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus.

Review WilcoBorn 4/5 · Mar 20, 2020

Wat een fijne uitdagende game, die van setpiece naar setpiece gaat. Meerdere momenten raakte ik gefrustreerd van hoe lastig en onvergeeflijk een stuk kon zijn. Toch genoot ik ervan om volledig in controle de knoppen in te drukken en de actie van het scherm te zien spatten. Het verhaal zelf is niet onwijs boeiend. De sfeer en bruutheid is erg …

One of the first games that I played on my new PS4, I finished it through completion the first time in two or three days, with two times where I had to go look up a walkthrough to get past some tough puzzles. It is a perfect combination for me of hack-and-slash with academic backstory. A few points off for the exceptionally whiny voice of Pandora, the two puzzles that gave so little guidance that I would have been stuck without the internet, and not being able to use my found items on the next level up when I replay. I look forward to playing through this one again.
