There can be no denying that controlling Kratos in the God of War series of games is an incredibly fun experience. We have been cleaving our way through some of the most awesome animated monsters of Greek Myth since 2005. However, isnt all the hacking, cleaving and maiming starting to get a bit much? Did you really have to kill that Minotaur by stabbing it in the eye with its own horn, Kratos? Probably not. A gory kill every now and then is wonderful, but when its seemingly all a games protagonist knows, it starts to become hard to root for them. With about as much self-awareness and charisma as the corpse of a Cyclops hes mutilated, Kratos isnt really in the best position to change our minds Zeus the father of Kratos is no saint himself (well, hes a God actually) but in the showdown he has with his zealous son at the end of God of War III, we secretly thought that for humanitys sake it would be better if the Ghost of Sparta was finally put down.
