A somewhat successful translation of the whole God of War thing into an (abbreviated) handheld format. Incredibly, more or less everything from the console version is here – just half as much of it.

The new prequel setting and some of the areas are intriguing at first, but the level design ends up being too flat. Without many meaningful secret areas or puzzles, levels too often feel like nothing more than combat arenas strung together by hallways, which is something that the previous two games went well out of their way to avoid.

It’s very short and the story is kind of insubstantial (although it does have one quite good story beat that's better experienced than described), but it all works fine. If you need a handheld Kratos fix, this is more than passable.
