This is a good time, pretty fun stuff. I played through this game on Medium difficulty.
This game is just pure video game fun, no bullshit going on. Kratos is just a great character and is interesting, the world is beautiful, the goal is simple, just great stuff. What's kinda crazy to say is the weakest part of the game for me is the combat.
The combat is pretty easy to understand and is fun enough, though simple. My problems come when it's near impossible to really just have fun in combat without getting hit and staggered. The rolling is straight up ass, it's rarely ever viable, and in late game majority of enemies can just hit you through your block. So, the best strategy is to just stun your enemies and kill them before they can kill you. Overall, it's a very decent combat system but just not anything remarkable.
Despite not liking mythology shit at all, I found the story to be interesting and engaging. Kratos is an understandable yet flawed character and it's easy to want to see him succeed, despite him having committed atrocities lol. The build up and goal of just killing Ares works perfectly, you wouldn't want it to be anymore complicated.
The graphics look insane for a ps2 game, like serious this is so impressive, especially with the game being able to run so smooth. really a marvel on a technical level.
Leveling up your items, health, and magic feel good and rewarding, there's a unique array of enemy types that can keep you entertained, and locations can vary a good bit throughout.
The platforming is a bit of an issue though, like it's really hard to tell where Kratos is gonna fall or what he's gonna come into contact with, so it can be pretty annoying but the game is mostly easy so it's not really a big deal, just gonna take a couple tries to make some platforming sections.
Overall this is just a really fun ps2 hack and slash adventure with a lot of solid ideas and mechanics, though the game is held back by faults in its combat system.
Definitely a great start for the series, would definitely recommend you play.
