If you don’t know what God of War is, well, congratulations, you’ve been living in a cave. The first title of the acclaimed God of War series, created by Santa Monica Studios, was released in 2005 for the Playstation 2 and quickly became a success. 

This guaranteed a second title that would be released less than two years after the first one. Characterized by the lots of blood on the screen and cruel executions with the enemies, the hack-and-slash game style pleased almost everyone at the time, serving as inspiration for many other great games. 

This love for the slash action game caused some players not to like the two most recent titles (God of War and God of War Ragnarok), which adopted a very different style, closer to RPG games. The lore change to Norse mythology also shocked many players used to the previous games.

The reboot/continuation of the franchise also became a success. After all, it was the first title of the franchise in almost ten years, which generated enormous hype and also led it to the GOTY award in 2018. Both Santa Monica Studio and Naughty Dog games have always been the best games from Sony Studios, and the tradition continues after all these years.
