The new addition of multiplayer includes Free-For-All, Team Deathmatch, Team Objective, and Capture the Flag.
GOD OF WAR ASCENSION TRIAL
There is a decent level of difficulty involved, except for the Trial of Archimedes towards the end, which felt more like a trial of patience after the 20th attempt and sparse checkpoints.Īfter the trial, though, despite the average early game bosses, the end boss was quite spectacular and worthy of the God of War series. Occasionally there would be a massive amount of action going on, such as fighting a horde of enemies while the ground underneath you moves through the air, all on the giant creature that holds it up.ĭespite these minor inconveniences, Ascension is still a very rewarding cinematic experience. There are a few obscure camera angles that impeded not only the platforming, but the combat. But that said, in other parts where there was an emphasis on dynamic sequences, I found it to be an entertaining addition to the gameplay. In some of the climbing challenges, it felt like I was playing a more God of War-esque incarnation of “Uncharted,” instead of the “God of War” game I wanted to play, with the glowing edges and reminiscent mechanics. Some of the more prominent platforming events in Ascension, while not bad at all, can feel a little out of place. While that may seem a tad boring, the four types of magic – fire, ice, lightning and Hades – help to keep it fresher than it would be otherwise. This feature really opens up some interesting combos and helps the combat feel a little less stale than it otherwise would have, which is fortunate, since you’re limited to the Blades of Chaos and a few magic gadgets over the seven or so hour campaign. The gameplay is extremely similar to past “God of War” games, with the usual fast paced hack and slash platforming combat, but now with a slight addition: Kratos is now able to pick up the weapons of his slain enemies, so if you’ve taken a shine to that spear you just got impaled with, odds are you can take it and give whatever just tried killing you a taste of its own medicine. They are quite amazing, apart from the occasional low resolution texture that pops up, but that’s not the end of Olympus. All of which are quite breathtaking, in both attention to detail and scope thanks to the enhanced graphics engine. The stunning vistas you’ll see range from a city built on a gargantuan creature to crawling his way up a giant Apollo statue. On his quest to be rid of the Furies that now hunt him, he crosses a myriad of mythical environments. After his inevitable escape, he systematically moves his way up the mythical tree, plucking the leaves down on his way, until he truly breaks the oath he mistakenly made to the Gods. It begins with our painted main character in a sticky situation, chained by the Spider Fury Megaera, and being punished for his betrayal of Ares. Previous titles have started with an act of pure rage and Ascension is no different.
