Is it still worth playing?

Santa Monica Studio's 2010 third person action game for the PlayStation 3, picking up right after God of War II. Combat is built on combos with the Blades of Exile, and Kratos can switch between four primary weapons, with magic attacks, secondary items such as the Bow of Apollo and quick time events to finish strong enemies and bosses. The screen can hold up to 50 enemies, up from 15 in the earlier games, and the game loads without loading screens. Platforming and puzzles fill the gaps between fights, and finishing it unlocks the Challenge of Olympus, seven trials, and a Combat Arena. Today it still offers combat built on chained combos and weapon switching, on a very large scale.
