God of War II

🎮 PlayStation 2 ⏳ 15 hours ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Flawless Mythic Sequel #

This is a masterful sequel that builds on everything that made the original great, with tighter combat, more epic boss battles, and a gripping story rooted in Greek mythology, it pushes the PS2 hardware to its limits. Kratos returns more brutal and determined, and the game’s pacing and level design are nearly flawless. Visually stunning for its time and with a thunderous orchestral score, it’s considered one of the best action-adventure games on the platform and also of all time, being a flawless sequel in my opinion.

Replayability and Epic Scope #

It is the one that I replayed the most since it’s optional content was the best one at the time, not just for this franchise’s standards. The story is also a standout for me, with time-travel and several different characters involved, a bigger crowd compared to the first entry. This also has an educational impact since you get to see a lot of mythological creatures, characters and stories being told on one of the best platforms at the time. Out of all the classic God of War, this is my favorite one and the one I recommend the most.
