in the past


maybe there are some nostalgic feelings, but I still have a lot of fun playing these games.

Belki bazı nostaljik duygular var ama bu oyunları oynarken hala çok eğleniyorum.

As I´ve said before, GoW 1 does not hold well nowadays, unlinke GoW 2, that I recommend a lot playing.
However, speaking about a remastered, this is not a very good one, you can easily feel is the SAME PS2 game and the only difference is the 60 fps.

this entire franchise is overated
trash

The beginnings of a spectacle franchise we were not ready for.
The first game expertly brings a traditional grand, tragic Greek epic of a tormented protagonist battleing for his very soul as a mere pawn. The gameplay is tight, responsive, not overly complicated and the journey we gamers find ourselves on might end up testing our brains as well as our reflexes in certain places. As a game I came to respect the original God of War the most out of the franchise for how much base it estabilished to be built upon but also how creatively it combined it's systems to challenge the player. Creativity that slowly evaporated from the series over the years.

God of War 2 was never my favourite. Other than some aspects of player movement I consider it a step-down from the first adventure as the tight, ever looping level design has been replaced with mostly linear segments and the simple, lazer-focused story has been dreamed further as a revenge plot without any real urgency. There are fewer instances of combining puzzle elements and combat, the bosses are frustrating to fight because some absurd hitboxes and the parry system not being applicable to most their attacks and sorry but the cliffhanger just left me nuts.
I will admit it though that God of War 2, a Playstation 2 game, has no f*ckin right to look this good. Yet it does. Sony Santa Monica Studios be employing witches on the graphics department.

I remember playing the hell out of these games when I first got this collection as a kid. My poor parents had no idea how much blood, gore, nudity, and sex were present in these games; they just thought it was a little game about Greek Mythology with a little bit of violence. But god, it was so much more than that, and I loved them!

This collection is a fantastic way of playing these games with HD. To my memory, it was one of the first "collections" to every be released, and it spawned a trend that dominated the industry for a while. And it is still one of the best out there.

I hope we get a new collection for the PS5 soon. With the new interest in the "God of War" series, I hope Sony will finally allow fans to experience the old games outside of having to subscribe to their annoying streaming service or just resort to emulation (which I would highly recommend for this collection). For as great as this collection is, it is still sadly stuck on PS3, which is a shame.

"God of War" is a really special series that deserves to be played by the people who want to play it. I hope Sony will take notice of that sooner rather than later.
