6/20/2023 0 Comments God of war ascension multiplayer![]() Sadly, we expect more than perfectly decent from God of War, and here the real fault seems to be the pacing. Let’s make this clear so that there isn’t any confusion: God of War: Ascension is a perfectly decent hack-and-slash action game. These aren’t bad in that the timing is quite generous, but it’s weird that a game that strips quick-time-events out of combat puts so many elsewhere in the action. What’s more, there are a lot of those always lovable quick-time-event sequences where survival relies on pressing the right button when prompted. It’s still spectacular, with plenty of the clambering-from-ledge-to-ledge-while-the-wall-collapses stuff that seems de rigeur in modern action games, but it all gets a bit one note, and there’s rarely more than one route to take. The platforming, however, is a little weaker than in earlier God of War games. The early stages are fairly light on puzzles, but more arrive in later stages. In Asencion that’s not always the case, though to be fair the badass quotient climbs significantly as the game goes on.īeyond the combat there’s still a mix of puzzle-solving and light platforming. When you take on the role of Kratos, you want to feel like Greek mythology’s biggest badass. The cumulative effect is to make Ascension perhaps more skilful than previous God of War games, though oddly less satisfying. ![]() Still, even here these are mitigated by some new sequences where you get to stab whichever fiend you’re up against repeatedly while dodging incoming attacks via twitches of the left analogue stick. The most welcome change to gameplay is that the quick-time-event sequences used to dispatch minor monsters are out, though you’ll still find some in the boss battles. ![]()
