For all the death, murder, pain and torture that Kratos has had to endure over the main God Of War series and its numerous spin-offs, the 'Ghost Of Sparta' only has himself to blame for all of it. If it weren't for that stupid wish for continued life he'd made at the start of the very first game, he never would have killed his own wife and child and ultimately had to engage in war with the Gods of Mount Olympus. But then, if Ares had just ignored Kratos' pleas rather than answering them, we wouldn't have this entry, and we can't have that, can we? I mean, what other game series can boast giving its players the ability to blaze a trail of bloody destruction through an entire pantheon of iconic Gods? Each more gruesome than the last, Santa Monica Studio pulled no punches in giving each Olympian a bloody disgusting send-off to whatever potential afterlife awaited them. Poseidon has his eyes gouged out, Apollo has his head yanked off and Hercules, well, that poor sod has no face left by the time Kratos is done pummelling it into oblivion. Perhaps an anger management class would have worked better for you, Kratos. https://youtu.be/xNHljwZNzGI
