God of War: Acension

Oh Kratos, you never seem to get a break. Ascension is the story of Kratos and his beginnings. It is set 6 months after the death of his wife and child, at his own hands. He was duped by Ares, and has betrayed him, so he starts off captured by one of the three furies, and you must escape.

This is where Ascension falls back on the Quick Time Event structure that is a staple of the series. QTE's are the heart and sole of God of War, and this time they are much more inevidence. Which is good, in that it retains that familiar feeling, and bad in that it relies a bit too much on them.

I will post more as I play through the game more.
