Apart from the fact that the 2005 release of God Of War was a game changer in the genre of hack-and-slash type games, it is also a fact that the storytelling aspect of the franchise is impeccable. This can even be seen in the recent GOW 2018, where the first few minutes of the game are enough to hook you into playing the game further.

The innovative one-shot storytelling aspect is also something to marvel at. Therefore, it is surprising that the game would likely be ignored by anyone at all.
