I agree

(While pretending the side games don’t exist. Excluding Laufey cause that shit looks awesome)

Which one? I really liked Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta.

There was a 2D sidescroller called Sons of Sparta that shadow dropped a few months ago that turned out to be a bit of a dud.

The PSP ones were both bangers tho I agree

Can't forget about betrayal, a 2007 MOBILE game

FWIW, I absolutely loved my time with Sons Of Sparta. For the price point, it was full of content, was well presented, played great, and had lots of little nods to lots of parts of the series. For a cash grab, I found it sincere and built with reverence foe the source material!

It was ok, but definitely didn't grab me like the main series

Thanks for the heads up 👌🏾 It was on my wishlist

Ghost of Sparta is good it deserves to be in the same conversation for the best game in the series

God of war ascension. it caused the soft reboot

Ascension maybe. It was ok but not great imo.

I don't even think the spin offs are bad. Sons of Sparta is probably the weakest but I don't think it's a bad game. It's mid to good but they shouldn't have released it with the save bug.

God of war betrayal is also pretty weak but tbh I can cut it alot of slack due to what it made for and I think when we are judging it by those standards it's alright

I actually really like Sons of Sparta. One of my favorite "indie" style games this year.

I wanted to like this so much but I was bored start to finish.

I’m so excited for that!!!

u/last_speedbump Aug 29 '26

The side games are great too.

u/SnooGiraffes8024 Aug 30 '26

Laufey is a mainline game I thought they said

1

u/SadOrder5966 Aug 31 '26

I hope not. The game looks promising but the concept of playing as Faye with a cube for 20+ hours is lame imo.

u/SnooGiraffes8024 Aug 31 '26

Not to me, the giant who saw the entirety of the Norse sage in visions, fought thor (who was admittedly drunk) to a standstill still, was able to fight kratos to a stalemate, and lead a rebellion against Odin

Plus we're learning about other pantheon and their dead gods which can set up more conflicts fir kratos when we get back to him

u/SadOrder5966 Aug 31 '26

If it affects the real word in a way to give us more Kratos games, I would love it. But if its just a game about Faye being dead and a bunch of aberration open world crap, then no thank you. Also, Faye's streght is massively overhyped. She fought a drunk Thor only to a stalemate. If were comparing her to her husband, he defeated a quite sober Thor. Not tryna powerscale but people talking about Faye's feats like crazy goddammit

u/SnooGiraffes8024 Aug 31 '26

Tbf drunk for is still thor

u/SadOrder5966 Aug 31 '26
