Played through God of War Ascension. Very disappointing. The game goes out of its way to repeatedly hammer the point away that it can do huge set-piece battles with giant enemies and so forth. The game is constantly stopping just to span the camera around a giant area like it is screaming "It's big, it's big!"
It does the giant set pieces and camera spanning within the first few minutes and never stops alsmost, it just gets tiresome, also very annoying when it zooms out for the millionth time while you are fighting so you cannot see what you're doing clearly and if you try attack you'll likely take damage, best to just block until vision is returned.
The combat is steps backwards from other games. Only get the Blades of Chaos in Ascension and instead of other weapons you just change the element they powered up with, then when fight enemies which have elements just use the one it is weak too, fire element enemies>ice blades of chaos. GoWIII and even Ghost of Sparta were much more fun and less repetitive by giving you varied weapon options. The boss battles aren't interesting in this, the story is a worthless prequel that adds nothing and sets up nothing. Not touching the multiplayer.
