Critic Reviews for God of War III Remastered
God of War 3 Remastered's update is mostly visual, but the action reminds us why we love this bloody series.
That parade of cathartic moments still makes God of War 3 worth playing, especially given the vividness and eye-popping destruction woven into every major battle. It peaks and drags and peaks and drags, sure, but God of War at its high point was never going to be sustainable. Five years on, it's clear that God of War 3 is especially emblematic of a series trying to figure out how to go higher when you've already reached the top of Mount Olympus.
The core game is still amazing, though the lack of any notable changes or additions in this release disappoints
God of War III on the PS4 is the same exciting game that it always was--just a little prettier.
This re-release seems unnecessary at first glance, but the conclusion of Kratos' journey serves up a level of spectacle that remains impressive in 2015.
God of War III has aged surprisingly gracefully. Although it's over five years old, somebody inexperienced with the series could easily mistake Remastered for an original PS4 game.
A daft, angry, bald journey, led by a screaming topless adonis that lets us kill everything that moves. Fair play, Sony.
So, is God of War III: Remastered worth its forty bucks price-tag? Unless a good story is absolutely necessary for you to enjoy a game, the answer is inevitably and overwhelmingly "yes" if you don't own the PS3 version.
