Available on PS5® today! God of War Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer with a canon story set in Kratos’ youth during his brutal training at the Spart...

2D pixel platformer spinoff, and it’s a shadowdrop! very unexpected.

This looks great. Kind of how is think a modern Castlevania game would look. Definitely didn’t think GoW would be the ones to do it.

If you think this looks good, then the newly announced castlevania game will blow you away - https://www.konami.com/games/castlevania/belmonts_curse/us/en-us/

This looks way better. The other game doesn’t look like a Castlevania game. Could just be the art direction isn’t for me but I prefer the HD-pixel art and detailed backgrounds here.

Ah, if your preference is pixel graphics then Blasphemous 1 & 2 would probably be your pace if you haven’t played them.

To me, the GoW gameplay looked a little to heavy and stiff (especially for it being GoW).

Could this be a transition game? Like how he went from Greece to Norway? (Granted the Greek pantheon and the norse gods have a 400 year window…)

It’s a prequel to the original games, when kratos was a teen/kid.

That’s awesome. I don’t love the voice actor for the player, but, I’m sold.

You act like they haven’t done an action game for God Of War lol. This is a well needed refresh.

I’m acting like they haven’t done a proper action game in 16 years, yes.

I mean, I understand y’all don’t care about the difference between God of War Ragnarok and Devil May Cry because it’s “all action” to you. What I don’t understand is why you randomly decide to jump in online arguments if you clearly don’t care.

You could’ve clarify by saying “hack and slash”, which is what the og GOW and DMC are, “action game” is so broad it could even include ff7r, kh, and even battletoad

What I don’t understand is why you randomly decide to jump in online arguments if you clearly don’t care.

It’s open forum, i can join any conversation i like.

“Hack and slash” is not the definitive name of the genre. It’s just what you know to call it. There’s no definitive name to that genre, but you wouldn’t know that because, again, for some absurd reason you’re in an online argument over a topic you clearly don’t care about.

Thread is literally over a GoW game. If you couldn’t figure out what kind of action game I’m talking about from the context, that’s on you.

It’s open forum, i can join any conversation i like.

Hey, go for it. It’s your wasted time, not mine.

You could have easily said you want a DmC hack and slash, not an over the shoulder souls like.
