God of War is fucking awesome game since 2005-2013!! I played the very first God of War since I was in the 7th grade, and Kratos was my all time favorite antihero because of his anger, brutal and his bloody quest for vengeance against Ares. I played every single game and I'm not entirely sure about the next God of War game, I think they should let him rest and work on to something else. The weapons were awesome that working them made you feel like a killing machine, and speaking of weapons here's my top 10 favorite weapons.
1. Blade of Olympus 2. Blades of Exile 3. Blades of Athena 4. Nemean Cestus 5. Blade of Artemis 6. Nemesis Whip 7. Blades of Chaos 8. Gauntlet of Zeus 9. Spear of Destiny 10.Arms of Sparta
*sighs* if only BioWare should've hire Santa Monica's combat designers for Dragon Age series.........
Oh here's the video for the new God of War for PS4 for those of you are interested to play the game.

So, this looks like a meaty slugfest. But I haven't played the others, should I play the other 3 first?

God of War was the pinnacle of 2000s third person hack'n'slash adventure games. Fixed camera, collect orbs, press x to not die (and occasionally to bang), and do puzzles once in a while. Oh, and brutally eviscerate your enemies with blades on chains that let you hack and slash a lot more of the screen than melee weapons have any right to.
Plot wise, it's all about an OC figuratively skull-fucking all of Greek Mythology. And it's entirely amazing, through and through.
Would recommend the original trilogy and the PSP interquels, ported to a better console of course. Ascension not as much, and the new one I agree seems superfluous and questionable.
Fun fact: GoW2 is the only game I have 100% Plat on my PS3.

Not only you get a better understanding of Kratos backstory, but you should also have some genuine fun with the game. If you don't mind monsters being split in half and getting decaptated all the Time. Ascencion is passable though. The story is kind of subpar and it suffers some performance issues on the PS3.

Excellent thanks. My PS4 was a Black Friday 2018 purchase so I'm pretty new to this. Looks like I need to use this PS Now service to play the first two...
Oh one more thing: My understanding is that the games are not in chronological order. So do I go release order, or - God of War: Chains of Olympus
- God of War
- God of War: Ghost of Sparta
- God of War II
- God of War III
- God of War: Ascension
or is there a 'Machete order'?

Cohh just finished GOW 3 so I'm pretty much caught up on the old gameplay and the story; although I did watch the cutscene movies for all three. I nearly went to sleep at the last parts ; the fights were prolonged and seemed unending. Sneak peeks of GOW 2018; graphics is definitely tops. With Christopher Judge doing the mocap and VA, along with other snippets of other chars, it's going to be good in the VA department. Story is also promising. I'm going to enjoy watching the playthrough.

Reviews to die for... (I'm not really reading them as I've played none of them, but I'm clearly going to start...) I'm not quite settled on order, I understand Ascension comes first but best to play the original God of War first (?)

I'm not quite settled on order, I understand Ascension comes first but best to play the original God of War first (?) Ascension is the earliest prequel in the timeline, but probably makes the least sense because there's some attempted mindscrews. I also think it's the weakest in combat, though it does have some cool gimmicks, like grapples. I would play the original first, as it's a self-contained story and you'll get everything you need to know from that. The prequel/interquels are superfluous in that regard (as are teh sequels to some extent). Then, provided you enjoyed it, you can do the rest in chronological order (Ascension>Chains of Olympus>Ghost of Sparta>GoW2>GoW3). Obviously be prepared for zig-zagging graphics and complexity of mechanics. That order is roughly how I'd rank them overall as well, with GoW 2 and 3 possibly superpositioned.

After that if you feel like it, play ascension. You should play god of war 2 before ghost of sparta however, due to some spoilers.

I'm not quite settled on order, I understand Ascension comes first but best to play the original God of War first (?) Personally I feel like I would get fatigued with the series if I played all the games back to back just to play the new one. Although the new one is quite different, my recommendation is to play God of War 3 remastered on PS4. Watch the overview or recap of the other games in order but enjoy the best of the old games by playing GOW 3. That way you can be caught up to date on the series, enjoy the old style gameplay without the fatigue, and really enjoy the fresh new game when it launches. Edit: Plus I believe GOW 3 is the one right before the new game in chronological order so nice transition.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm not too worried about fatigue, I'm a fairly patient (stubborn) player. Ok, here goes, with God of War...
Hmmm, Hydra was fun, took a little work that one... Talking of taking a little work: 'Rockin' the Boat' ... what the, er, ... really?

Holy cow. For what was expected to be a solid action title, those impressions are radiating excitement on a major blockbuster-level.
Consider me hyped.

There is a reason this game used to be called God of traps once upon a time... Thankfully, this crap has been drastically toned down in the other titles. Afraid you will need to endure 10 hours of masochism before reaching the less stressful experiences.
