15 Iconic PlayStation Franchises - Ranked From Worst To Best

5. God Of War

Although God of War has been overdue some time off for a while now, it's current over-saturation is only a symptom of its immense popularity and success. Sure, the latest releases might not have brought the kick up the backside the franchise needed, but it's easy to forgot just how refined and satisfying that mostly unchanged combat system still is to this day. And with the newly re-released God of War 3 on PS4, fans who skipped out on Sony's console last generation have the perfect example of what they've missed over the past nine years. With a wealth of absolutely ridiculous set-pieces and graphical fidelity that rivals some of the biggest releases today, that trilogy-ending title is one of the best deals you can pick up on the console currently. Enjoying some well deserved time off, the franchise is due a come-back any time now, and if Sony does decide to announce a new entry in the monumentally successful series come PSX in December, there'll be plenty of new fans ready to discover just why Kratos' story is so revered by Playstation fans.
