Is it still worth playing?
Kratos has broken his oath to Ares and is held by the three Furies, who torture him, until he escapes to free himself of that bond, in this 2013 prequel for the PlayStation 3. Combat is built on combos with his blades, and you can now latch onto enemies from a distance, with four magical attacks and rage attacks. Gifts from the gods add elemental damage, from fire from Ares to ice from Poseidon. The setting has seaports and sunny islands in place of the underworld, and an early fight is against the Hecatonchires. The campaign lasts about eight hours. It was the first game in the series with online multiplayer. Big boss fights and quick combat still give it plenty of spectacle.
