"His dark legend was born."
A quick-hit that is worth the glance, God of War: Chains of Olympus is my favourite of the series so far during my series replay, telling a story that offers a worthwhile addition to Kratos' backstory - one that neatly ties into the original.
Initially being released on the PlayStation Portable, it's no wonder this is a much shorter offering, but it still holds up nicely on the PlayStation 3 in HD, and plays smoothly without any boring or repetitive sections or enemy groups and a quick pace that never keeps you in one section for too long.
It also offers a nice emotional moment close to the end featuring Krato's child, as well as throwing a fun addition into the combat fray by way of a shield - both of these elements are things that were praised in the 2018 soft reboot of the franchise, but were done very well done here a decade before.
This one is a worthwhile entry into the franchise, and the first I have really enjoyed my time with in my full-franchise play-through so far.
