    A good metroidvania with a great world design. Exploring it feels rewarding, but a very simple combat style and irregular art keep him away from Olympus.

    God of War Sons of Sparta doesn’t do anything new with the Metroidvania genre, but it does do something new with the God of War himself. It shows off a side of Kratos we’re not used to, making him a young man who’s trying to decide what path to take next. (A fitting match for a sprawling Metroidvania, no?) After the bloody Greek trilogy and somber Norse Saga, the Kratos who’s just trying to find his way contrasts well with the revenge-filled and grief-stricked versions we’ve gotten to know so well.
