God of War III Remastered

The original game rejuvenated and accelerated a little bit, but otherwise nothing much has changed. We must say there’s not much space for the improvement with the game like this. On the other hand, there is no reason to buy the game for again if you already played God of War III before.

God of War 3 is still a spectacular and really good action game, but the remastering work here feels cheap to say the least.

God of War III is a great game and an excellent slasher, one of the best games of previous generation. It's worth to get to know this game through the remastered version but only if you haven't had the pleasure of finishing it on the PS3. People who know Kratos well won't be able to justify spending money on the PS4 version. It's very pretty but all in all: the game is terrific, the remaster is mediocre.

The charisma Kratos shows when expressing his deep feelings of revenge, makes God Of War 3 still a milestone in the action genre. Unfortunately the graphic update cannot hide that this testosterone shot has become a bit weak.

God of War III Remastered delivers a masterful conclusion to Kratos' chaotic story arc – but this much was true when the original release brute forced its way onto the PS3 over five years ago. The bumped up resolution and significantly steadier framerate does improve the experience overall, but not to the point where it's worth paying almost full-price again.

Hardly a game that was in desperate need of a makeover, but the original is still a solid action adventure and Kratos’ story is given at least an element of closure.

God of War 3 Remastered is a plain upgrade of an already awesome game. The incredible work Santa Monica Studio did five years ago was still there, waiting for just a little bit of effort to shine again.

The combat system is still quick and rewarding, the story is still heart-breaking and cruel, and the progression system is still paced perfectly as Kratos never feels too powerful throughout his journey...While God of War 3: Remastered may scratch the nostalgia itch we all have for Kratos-related mayhem, it doesn’t offer anything more than a good-looking trip down memory lane.

To me, it says a lot about God of War III's dreadful story that the game can be so well-paced and exciting, and yet still leave me ambivalent about having played it.

Delivers exactly what it says: a prettier version of the same game you played five years ago. Those looking for the same experience will find it, and those looking for something new or a fresh take on the series won’t get much out of this remaster.
