>>1034269331 and 2 are fucking solid, Playstation essentials
PSP games aren't as good but still worth a playthrough, fuck playing it on PSP though. Stick with the PS3 ports
III was underwhelming, story starts getting convoluted and nonsensical, gameplay depends too much on QTEs and scripted sequences which is ironic considering it's God of War
Ascension was fucking bad because they couldn't stop pushing the garbage co-op that makes the core gameplay worse than all the other games before it
PS4 isn't actually bad, but the third person shooter control scheme is garbage and ill-suited to this type of gameplay, making any fights that aren't 1v1 a crapshoot because enemies will constantly hit you in the back, tries too hard being a Souls game than a GoW game, also hamfisting that TLOU knockoff story in what should have been a violent action game
