So ı'm not sure if this is the best place to say this but ı want to post my rankings about god of war games' stories, greek era only:
1. Gow1
Imo this game has the best story in the franchise. It's about kratos getting revenge from ares who betrayed him and his backstory is implemented to the story very well. It feels scary and satisfying to learn through it. By the time, kratos kills ares; he becomes god of war.
2. Ascension
Prequel to all god of war games. I feel like kratos is humanized here very well and ares is very relevant to plot here. The furies as antagonists are very interesting imo and the journey feels so satisfying. I also love orkos as well, he's a very tragic character.
3. Gow3
The end to greek era and a satisfying conclusion to kratos' adventures on greece. The journey overall feels very satisfying to go through. However even though it's my favourite god of war game, ı feel like storywise it could have been much better. I would prefer more greek gods as antagonists. I also wished kratos worked with titans more, his journey to underworld feels so forced and that area is quite tedious to go through. I think it would be nice if it was based more on old concept. I dont fully remember what it is but there are some aspects that ı wished was present in the game.
4. Ghost of sparta
Quite underrated. It explains a lot of info and connects gow1 and gow2 to each other well. I also like deimos a lot and while the story might be pointless at the end due to him dying, at the same time, it's quite tragic. The brothers fight against each other and later on team up against thanatos.
5. Gow2
While ı love the game a lot, storywise there isnt really much here. If anything it causes unnecessary confusion. Mainly due to kratos changing his fate and going back in time to get his revenge on zeus. It's satisfying to go through and ı love alrik a lot, his boss fight is the best part in the game ı think.
6. Chains of olympus
Easily the weakest one. It's extremely filler. It's about saving helios who is killed in gow3 in a very brutal way. It's mainly to show kratos working with greek gods in a boring way and it also unnecessarily spoils the backstory for kratos which can hurt gow1 despite being a prequel. His moments with calliope are very heartwarming and tragic however there isnt much of them here. And just like gow3, kratos' journey to underworld is so forced that it hurts.
I'm not gonna rank gow4 here cause it's set in another place. Not to mention ı never played it and while ı watched its cutscenes, ı still dont remember much about it. But at the end of the day, it feels unnecessary and ı feel like kratos' journey ended with gow3.
