+1 for Chains of Olympus (Gaming)

I think it’s actually my favourite God of War game. I know GoW 2 is generally seen as the series’ benchmark, and for good reason. It’s awesome. But I think Chains of Olympus does all the same things right, and in a tighter package. As great as GoW 2 is, I found it did drag on a tad long. Chains is a bit shorter, but not at the expense of its sense of grandeur or scale.

Most importantly, Chains retains the best part of the franchise: super tight, fast, and satisfying combat. It’s one of those games that I replayed over and over, working my way up through the difficulty settings, because mastering the combat felt so rewarding. Plus, the shorter length made the game a bit more inviting to replay.
