You know, the sad thing is that I've never played a single God of War game despite the fact that a game set in a highly mythological ancient Greece is exactly the kind of game I've always wanted.
Loved the first one, had fun with the second... never picked it up again because, well... it's like John Wick. What do you expect to happen? The Starbomb song does a great job explaining the nature of Kratos and Gods. I might pick this one up though, but my prediction is the kid dies real early on, and Kratos goes on the warpath against the next pantheon for it.
