    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought a PS4 and i was tallking with my brother what should i buy for it. And i said, damn if GOW3 was on PS4 i would buy it instantly. After dinner that day, i went on my PC and found out that GOW3 is getting a PS4 remaster. Coincidence? I don't think so.Being a PS3 game at the end of the day, the remastered graphics may not be up to current PS4 standards, but they're still very good. Definitely acceptable. Graphics aren't the reason I like this game though. The gameplay is amazing, and fun. Boss fights are epic and even the general fighting is solid.
    The puzzles could've been harder but the scenery/locations are pretty cool.
    It's a must play

    Una actualización para el mejor juego que salió en la consola PS3, ahora en PS4, gráficos que se ven muy bien hoy en día, y una jugabilidad que alcanza la perfección para la saga. Sin duda, si te gustan los videojuegos debes jugarlo.

    Basically a frenetic and brutal boss rush through the Olympus. Fun as hell.

    The remastered doesn't change almost anything, the graphics aren't as good as current gen, but don't make the game less enjoyable.

    A fun and testosterone-filled final Greek adventure for Kratos that suffers from it's aged gameplay and, at times, spiky-haired-monster-energy-drinking-4th-grader storytelling.

    Juego muy bueno, que le sienta como un guante la remasterización a PS4, historia impresionante, ayuda a conocer la mitología más que 20 clases de historia, Kratos espectacular como siempre, varias armas y sistemas de lucha. Un juego al que es imprescindible jugar.

But even tho it is my first GoW game i've ever played i still enjoyed it, and i would definitely recommend it to anyone. The way this game progresses is unbelievable and all those boss and mini-boss fights were entertaining and fun to play through. Expand

Hello gamers B-rod here to talk about God of War 3 Remastered, or just God of War 3 because very little seemed changed or updated in any fashion. Let us see if thisHD Remastered games seem to be the majority on what I talk about nowadays. For every new game I review I must review two more Remastered games. Don't get me wrong I love them being a thing I just wish the price wasn't so high. Hello gamers B-rod here to talk about God of War 3 Remastered, or just God of War 3 because very little seemed changed or updated in any fashion. Let us see if this is worth your hard earned 40 dollars.

    God of War 3 is all story it is the final chapter to Kratos's revenge against the Gods. I do love this story even if Kratos is more or less a psychotic maniac who is so hell bent on revenge he kills any and everyone. Like some dude who just happens to be in his way and is begging for his life; well Kratos gives him some good ole Spartan hospitality by beating his brains in and killing him. So he is not a relatable character or even a redeemable one not every character needs to be. I will say if you haven't ever played a God of War game but have a PS4 play this. While it is a third entry into an ongoing story you won't be lost. The game recaps everything you'd need to know. On the PS3 I started with this game and it is probably my second favorite in the series. Now this may be me knowing everything to do so I flew through it. The campaign is not long at all. For a story driven game a six hour story is less to be desired. It is a fun six hours but still not much after this story. The story has a definitive ending that has a couple of... well not twist but interesting turns is how I'd like to put it. I'll say I'd be surprised if this game had a direct sequel.

    The game sound is great the music is so **** epic, fighting the bosses has me going **** yeah about 90% of the time. The voice acting is well done even if Kratos only shows about one emotion. I do love characters that are pissed off all the time, because I will never understand constantly being angry. If a God just tried talking to Kratos maybe he'd calm down they'd have a good cry and all would be forgiven. Sorry getting off topic at hand. The games graphics look about as good as they did on the PS3. That's not a slight against the game in fact it is a compliment to the PS3 version on how amazing it looked. I will say those of you who haven't messed around with the screen borders on your PS4 yet, DO IT. Seriously, otherwise you get this black box around the game which immediately pulls me out of any immersion I would have had.

    The gameplay is a hack n slash game with some fairly simple puzzles in the mix. This combat is so well designed that many games have copied it including a franchise known as Castlevania. That says something there. This game is full of interesting Greek Myth enemies with a ton of boss fights that are all more epic than the next. If you don't like brutal violence or HBO levels of **** just out for no reason well maybe stay away from this game and enjoy some Matlock. The game has this semi metroidvania style to it where you go back to some areas with new equipment and unlock new areas and treats. The puzzles can be annoying, but nothing like the original God of War. I'm looking at you spike floor and spinning blade tower.

    In the end of it all I love this game and if you're a fan buy it the enjoyment is well worth the 40 dollars. Newcomers borrow from a friend it'll either hook you immediately or put you off instantly either way that in my opinion is the best way to see if God of War is for you. I love this game, but have a hard time telling non-fans to go buy it. I give this a 4/5. If it only had more than a short single player and challenge rooms it'd be a lot higher rating.

    God of War 3 is an incredibly fun game with awesome set pieces that feature some of the most brutal fighting seen in a video game. Despite its gratuity it is a fun experience.

    Lo pasé un par de veces en el PS3, hace poco me lo prestaron y quise aprovechar para darle el visto bueno en PS4
    Realmente no se parece a un juego hecho para PS3, tal vez por eso le queda muy bien al PS4, acción al por mayor, variedad de enemigos, variedad de armas y ataques, una historia para cerrar el ciclo griego

    This real time video game is so very fun, hard, difficult and challenging simultaneously. This real time video game is must play.

    The reason that I say this is because in order to play, succeed, win, defeat and beat this real time video game you have to both press and click in real time so many different buttons on your controller that you see on your screen very quickly and you also have to think and react so very fast enough before it's too late, you fail, you lose and the game is over.

    This real time video game requires you very both quickly and fast both press and click all the buttons on your controller that you see on your screen. Any mistake and you died.

    This real time video game indeed requires very high skills levels and natural talents in real time video gaming and if you are either unskilled or inferior in real time video gaming then don't worry, this real time video game also has an easy mode, so called "Spartan", for unskilled and inferior real time video gamers.

    Playing this real time video game may also improve all of your skills and talents in real time video gaming, make you better in real time video gaming and help you as a real time video gamer learn how to play better real time video games.

    This real time video game also hides many secrets that you, as a real time video gamer playing with Kratos, either may miss some of them or can find all of them but you have to explore every new area and place and be both very smart, clever and intelligent in order to find all of them. Every secret in this real time video game has a gift and blessing for Kratos. Every gift and blessing in this real time video game, once both found, picked and taken, increases the stats of Kratos and make Kratos even more stronger, powerful and dangerous.

    Kratos also gets and use very powerful, awesome and fun weapons in this real time video game.

    This real time video game also has many complex puzzles that require you to use your intelligence and think a lot in order to solve them.

    Kratos is so very both strong, lovely and awesome in this real time video game. Kratos also has very memorable lines too. Kratos is definitely the best favorite character ever in my opinion.

    This real time video game is so addictive that you won't stop and quit playing this real time video game until you finish it completely from the beginning to the end and then you may also want to replay it again after unlocking the hardest most difficult mode so called "Chaos".

    All the controls of this real time video game are also very convenient.

    I wish this real time video game had more DLCs, so you can keep playing it more and more. The story of this real time video game is also very both interesting and fascinating.

    This real time video game is very recommended because it is a masterpiece.

    This real time video game is an example of how a successful real time, action and adventure video game supposes to be.

    You absolutely can learn from this real time video game what makes a real time, action and adventure video game so successful.

    I promise you, you won't regret both buying, purchasing, downloading, installing and playing this real time video game.

    If you will listen to me and just do what I say (Both buy, purchase, download, install and play this real time video game) then you are only going to enjoy this real time video game and have a lot of fun moments and good times and you too will wish that this real time video game will have more DLCs to buy, download, install and play no matter the cost once you finish it.

    And you too will fall in love very much in this character, so called Kratos, you play with in this real time video game the more time you play.

    Poseidon, Zeus, Hades and Hercules are also incredible in this real time video game.

    Like our good Greek Friend **** said “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man.” so in this 10 years a lot of things change the combat in Gow 3 still fun but a bit repetitive if compared with devil may cry 5 or Souls game the enemy design are too simple also and been honest the narrative that looks cool and badass now are just cringe.

    Put this all side, the music still epic as the CG the boss fights are fun and make you fell great specially in the Quick time events that only Santa Monica know how to make the violent and graphic at the same time never was so exciting to press square, so if you didn't play this master piece yet you can't lose it, god of war 3 is part of the video game history. If you already played this 10 years ago the games still fun and worth for a good price.

    Rather individual and interesting characters ( gods), even without playing previous parts, i were excited to listen and learn the story of this game and this world.

    Normal graphic for such an old game.

    The fight system not very difficult, because you have a bunch of types of enemys and you just need to learn how to kill each of them. Another question is bosses. Some may seems hard, but they are not, you just need some more trys.

    When i were passing this game i realized how great GoW3 was in 2010. All this fight system, graphics and puzzles. It is good now, but then it was great i bet.

    I have never played any God of War (only in a supermarket briefly when I was a kid - it was probably God of war 1), so this remaster is my first expression of this game and I loved it. I have never played the original from 2010 so giving an opinion on remaster and not playing original is pretty difficult. I will give it 9 because of reviews of others - for me the game is 10/10.

    A zero-hassle remaster of a great action hack 'n' slash. The combat system is still great, even if inferior to that of some Japanese games of the same genre, and the graphics have aged extraordinarily well. Still, as we said, a lot more could have been done in this remaster.

    The fact that the Photo Mode is one of the emphasized features tells everything about how necessary this remaster was and how much effort was put into it. Yes, the textures are sharper, the lighting is better, but the difference is not breathtaking, because the game was already stunningly beautiful before. It’s not how I imagined Kratos’ assault on PS4. So why such a high score? Five years later it’s still an exceptional game and I envy everyone who is to experience this grand adventure for the first time. [09/2015, p.43]
