Summary

God of War III is the best entry in the series, hands down, and one of the best action-adventure games of this generation. Kratos' journey comes to an end, along with the trilogy, in an explosion of fluid combat, mammoth environments, and a superb narrative.

We like

  • The combat, combos, and boss battles are by far the best in the series
  • Lighting is as much a part of the game as the combat
  • The enormous scale of the environments

We dislike

  • The occasional button-trigger glitches
  • Saying goodbye to the trilogy
