5/5 ★ – Zimtiki's review of God of War II.

PART FIIVVVVVEEE!!!!! God of War II is the game that launched this franchise’s infamy. The gameplay is faster, the graphics are crisper, the story is deeper, and the music is a fucking incredible feat. The music in this game DRIVES me, it makes you WANT to correct injustices. Idk. It’s so good, man. The story here sees Kratos years after becoming the God of War, rampaging through yet another city like the big bitch he is. Through silly trickery, Zeus takes Kratos’ godly powers and MURDERS HIM. Luckily, Kratos received aid from Mother Gaia, a titan that’s been locked away by Zeus for thousands of years, and is told to find and kill the Sisters of Fate. Kratos escapes Hades and ventures across Ancient Greece to find the sisters and end their control over people’s lives and fate. Overall, incredible story. So much actual Greek Mythology is used here in really creative ways, it’s so fun seeing what the devs thought of next. You’ll come across Icarus, Eurayle, Theseus, Perseus (a lot of eus’). It rocks. The fights are unique and challenging too, and THIS TIME, the fights last the perfect amount of time. Not too long, not too short, just right 👌🏻 If this game has one flaw, it’s the cliffhanger ending. It ends on the wildest scene where it seems like EVERYTHING is about to go down. Aside from that though, I don’t think there’s anything I can say about this game that isn’t pure praise. It’s a fuckin MASTERPIECE.
