Certain stages, such as the Palace of Hades, are cleverly designed, with an array of levers and props like steaming cauldrons that lift Kratos high in the air. They’re challenging, but never too difficult or frustrating. Most of the environmental puzzles are fun as well. The “meh” plot remains a weak point, but the excellent combat and action-platforming reminded me why I love this ultra-gory series.

These graphical touch-ups make Kratos’ final quest for vengeance against the Olympian gods even more beautifully gory (though not quite enough that it could pass for a game specifically built for the PS4). G od of War 3 Remastered for PlayStation 4 recaptures the thrill of the threequel, thanks to the addition of 1080p resolution, a steadier frame rate that usually sits around 60 frames per second, and high-definition textures and lighting effects. I still think God of War II is the best in the trilogy, but Sony Santa Monica did a great job closing up Kratos' journey for revenge.”
