The story of God of War III Remastered receives praise for its epic scale, intense action sequences, and thematic depth, particularly in its portrayal of Kratos’ relentless quest for vengeance. Critics like Slant Magazine highlight its exploration of existential themes, noting how it moves beyond mere violence to examine the cost of nihilism and the complexity of characters like Hera and Hephaestus. We Got This Covered emphasizes the emotional resonance of Kratos’ personal struggles and family conflicts, while GamesVillage.it applauds the mythological scope and climactic battles that solidify its place as a standout entry in the franchise. The narrative’s focus on Kratos’ journey to Mount Olympus and his confrontation with Zeus is often described as immersive, with XGN noting its ability to engage players despite its mid-action start. These reviews underscore the game’s strengths in delivering a visceral, mythologically rich experience that resonates with fans of the series. However, several critics criticize the story for its lack of narrative depth, unresolved character arcs, and reliance on repetitive formula. GameCritics and IGN Spain point out that the plot assumes prior knowledge of the series, leaving newcomers confused due to fragmented exposition and unclear motivations. The narrative is frequently labeled as thin, with Game Revolution and COGconnected noting its over-simplification of Kratos’ vengeful actions and morally ambiguous choices. SpazioGames and COGconnected criticize Kratos as a one-dimensional character driven by fury, while PLAY! Zine and IGN describe the ending as anticlimactic and unsatisfying. Additionally, issues like a fixed camera (from Gaming Age) and repetitive gameplay mechanics (from Metro GameCentral) further detract from the story’s impact, with many feeling it prioritizes spectacle over emotional or intellectual engagement. Overall, the consensus among critics is mixed, reflecting a divide between those who appreciate the game as a fitting, if flawed, conclusion to Kratos’ saga and those who find its narrative lacking in depth. While Game Informer and Atomix praise its epic finale and interconnected storytelling, others like GameCritics and IGN argue that it fails to deliver the emotional or thematic complexity seen in earlier entries. The story’s accessibility for newcomers remains a contentious point, with Eurogamer Italy and CGMagazine emphasizing the need for prior knowledge of the series. Despite these criticisms, many acknowledge its role as a high-octane, mythologically rich experience that, while imperfect, solidifies God of War III as a memorable chapter in Kratos’ journey. The mixed reception highlights the tension between action-driven storytelling and narrative ambition, leaving fans divided on its legacy within the franchise.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the gameplay mechanics.

The gameplay of God of War III Remastered receives widespread praise for its core mechanics, which remain largely unchanged from the 2010 original but are enhanced by improved technical performance. Critics like Eurogamer Italy highlight the stable 60fps frame rate, which makes combat smoother and more enjoyable, while GamesRadar+ and IGN Spain commend the intense, cinematic action sequences and responsive controls. The variety of weapons, such as the Blades of Exile and Hades’ Claws, adds depth to combat, with DarkZero noting a more complex system compared to earlier entries. Additionally, GameCrate and 3DJuegos praise the refined mechanics, fluid weapon switching, and the balance between action and cinematic moments, emphasizing that the remaster retains the game’s identity as a standout in the hack-and-slash genre. The combat’s accessibility and visceral satisfaction are frequently highlighted, with Games.cz and NZGamer acknowledging its engaging, fast-paced rhythm despite its age. However, several critics point to repetitive elements and outdated mechanics that detract from the experience. GamingTrend and Critical Hit criticize the lack of complexity in combat, calling it a “button masher” with simple button presses and repetitive QTEs that lose appeal over time. GamesRadar+ and Game Revolution note that the linear structure and filler content, such as extended battles or busywork, make certain sections feel tedious. Everyeye.it and IGN Spain also mention that while the combat is enjoyable, it prioritizes accessibility over technical depth, with GameSpot pointing out that the game’s scope feels narrower than previous entries. Puzzles and platforming are often deemed minimal or frustrating, as noted by Digital Chumps and Game Revolution, while JeuxActu critiques the lack of subtlety in enemy interactions and timing mechanics. These criticisms underscore a sense of stagnation in gameplay design despite technical improvements. Overall, the consensus among critics is that God of War III Remastered remains a strong, engaging action game but is ultimately constrained by its age and repetitive nature. While Eurogamer Italy, IGN, and 3DJuegos celebrate its refined mechanics, fluid combat, and nostalgic appeal, many acknowledge that it lacks the innovation or modern polish seen in newer titles. The remaster’s improvements—like smoother frame rates and preserved level design—enhance the experience but do not address deeper issues like repetitive enemy encounters or outdated systems. GamesRadar+ and GameCrate balance praise with acknowledgment of its flaws, suggesting that while it holds up well for fans, returning players may find it less novel. The game’s legacy as a technical and design milestone is clear, but its gameplay feels more like a polished relic than a forward-thinking experience.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the graphics and visual design.

The remastered version of God of War III receives praise for its technical upgrades, particularly its 1080p resolution, 60fps frame rate, and improved textures, which enhance visual clarity and fluidity. Critics like IGN Spain and Giant Bomb highlight the game’s iconic set pieces, such as the Cronos battle, as still visually striking, while SpazioGames and CGMagazine note that the base game’s artistry remains impressive despite its age. The remaster also introduces subtle refinements, including dynamic lighting, sharper character models, and enhanced environmental details, which elevate the experience on PS4. Impulsegamer and The Jimquisition commend the polished presentation, emphasizing how the improved frame rate and resolution make Kratos’ actions feel more immersive. Additionally, features like photo mode (noted by DarkZero and Atomix) allow players to appreciate the game’s visual design in greater detail. However, many critics argue that these improvements are modest and fail to significantly elevate the game beyond its original PS3 release. Gameplanet and Level7.nu describe the changes as “subtle” or “lackluster,” with some textures and lighting effects feeling outdated compared to modern standards. A recurring criticism is the disparity between in-game visuals and pre-rendered cutscenes, which often remain at 30fps or lower resolution, creating a jarring contrast (e.g., Everyeye.it, 3DJuegos, ZTGD). IGN and New York Daily News point out that certain characters, like Helios, retain low-resolution textures, underscoring the game’s dated origins. Additionally, issues like fixed camera angles and inconsistent visual fidelity (noted by Game Informer and GameSpot) highlight the limitations of remastering an older title without substantial overhauls. Overall, critics agree that God of War III Remastered is a polished but incremental upgrade, offering technical refinements that cater to fans rather than revolutionizing the experience. While IGN Italia and Attack of the Fanboy praise its clean visuals and 60fps performance as a testament to the PS4’s capabilities, others like Level7.nu and SpazioGames question its value given the minimal changes. The consensus leans toward viewing it as a nostalgic but underwhelming remaster, with Game Revolution and Multiplayer.it noting that the enhancements feel “stuck between last-gen and current-gen aesthetics.” Despite these critiques, many acknowledge the game’s enduring visual appeal, with Giant Bomb and The Jimquisition emphasizing its status as a technical milestone that still holds up decades later.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the music and sound design.

The majority of reviewers praised the sound design and music of God of War III Remastered as a standout element that significantly enhances the game’s immersive qualities. Critics like GameCrate highlighted the “superb” audio, emphasizing how immersive voice acting and the soundtrack “engulf players in the experience,” while LevelUp called the sound design and music “excellent” for their contributions to the game’s atmosphere. PlayStation LifeStyle noted that the remaster retained the original’s high-quality sound effects and score, with “crisp audio in 7.1 surround sound,” reinforcing its technical strengths. XGN praised the dynamic shifts between calm and intense sequences, which “enhance immersion during battles and quieter scenes,” and The Digital Fix appreciated how the score’s “brooding tracks and somber elements” effectively guided players through the narrative. These comments collectively underscore a strong consensus that the audio design elevates the game’s emotional and action-driven moments. While most reviews were overwhelmingly positive, a few critics pointed to minor shortcomings. IGN Spain noted that while the sound design is “solid,” it lacks exceptional qualities, citing “some voice volume issues” as a drawback. This critique suggests that while the remaster maintains the original’s audio quality, it doesn’t introduce significant improvements or innovations. Additionally, some reviews, like those from Atomix and Impulsegamer, were brief and lacked detailed analysis of specific elements such as musical composition or sound effects, which might indicate a general lack of depth in their assessments. However, these critiques are overshadowed by the broader acclaim for the audio’s overall impact. The overarching consensus among critics is that God of War III Remastered’s sound design and music are highly effective, with many emphasizing their role in amplifying the game’s epic scale and emotional resonance. Gameblog.fr and Impulsegamer both noted how the soundtrack complements the action and gameplay, while PlayStation LifeStyle affirmed that the remaster successfully preserves the original’s audio legacy without needing major upgrades. Despite minor criticisms, the majority of reviewers—such as GameCrate, LevelUp, and XGN—agreed that the sound design is a key strength, contributing to an immersive and emotionally engaging experience. This collective praise highlights the remaster’s success in delivering aurally rich content that aligns with the game’s intense narrative and combat-driven gameplay.

Voice acting in God of War III Remastered is hailed as a triumph, with critics praising its emotional depth, intensity, and immersion—especially Terrence Carson’s ferocious Kratos and stellar performances from Adrienne Barbeau, Rip Torn, and others. Yet some lambast the overly dramatic tone, calling it "juvenile" or mismatched, while others critique uneven character treatment. A polarizing but ultimately lauded pillar of the game’s storytelling.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the voice acting.

The voice acting in God of War III Remastered receives largely positive acclaim from multiple critics, with several highlighting its strengths in delivering emotional depth and immersion. GameCrate emphasizes that the vocal performances contribute significantly to the game’s atmosphere, while Impulsegamer describes them as “perfect,” seamlessly blending with the soundtrack and sound design to enhance engagement. Terrence Carson’s portrayal of Kratos is frequently praised for its intensity and authenticity, with Gameplanet and InsideGamer.nl noting his ability to embody the character’s intimidating presence. Additionally, Slant Magazine and The Digital Fix commend specific actors like Adrienne Barbeau (Hera), Rip Torn (Hephaestus), Corey Burton (Zeus), and Erin Torpey (Athena) for their impactful performances, which add nuance to the narrative. These critiques underscore a general consensus that the voice acting elevates the game’s storytelling and emotional resonance. However, some critics express reservations about the tone and delivery of the dialogue. GameCritics criticizes the voice acting as overly self-serious, with Kratos’s lines described as “juvenile” and “overplayed,” comparing the delivery to Shakespearean theatrics that feel mismatched for the game’s material. This critique suggests a disconnect between the vocal performances and the narrative’s intended tone. Meanwhile, Level7.nu points to voice acting as a weak point, specifically critiquing the treatment of female characters, though they do not elaborate on the quality of their performances. These negative assessments highlight concerns about the balance between dramatic intensity and narrative appropriateness, as well as potential shortcomings in character representation. Despite these criticisms, the overall consensus among reviewers leans toward appreciation for the voice acting’s technical and emotional contributions. While a minority of critics, like GameCritics, find the delivery overly serious or unbalanced, the majority praise individual performances and their role in enhancing immersion. The Digital Fix and Slant Magazine, among others, celebrate the cast’s ability to bring depth to characters, even as some note specific flaws. This mixed reception reflects a divide between those who value the vocal work’s intensity and authenticity and those who feel it detracts from the game’s tone or character dynamics. Ultimately, the voice acting remains a standout element for many, despite its polarizing aspects.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the technical performance.

The technical performance of God of War III Remastered on PS4 is largely praised for its stability and polish, despite being a remaster. Many critics highlight the game’s smooth 60fps frame rate, which represents a significant improvement over the original PS3 version’s inconsistent performance (DarkZero, Eurogamer Italy). Enhanced resolution, improved textures, and better responsiveness are frequently noted as key upgrades, with reviewers like Gameblog.fr and Giant Bomb emphasizing that the PS4 port runs “smoothly” and “functionally.” The game’s combat mechanics and camera systems also receive praise for their fluidity, with Level7.nu and PlayStation LifeStyle noting minimal technical hiccups. Additionally, several critics (e.g., GameCrate, COGconnected) acknowledge the absence of major bugs or crashes, reinforcing the perception of a well-optimized port that leverages PS4 hardware effectively. However, the remaster’s technical shortcomings are also evident. Many reviewers point to minimal graphical enhancements, with textures and lighting often described as “dated” or “subpar compared to other remasters” (Everyeye.it, GamingTrend). The fixed camera system remains a persistent issue, with games(TM) criticizing navigation glitches and perspective transitions that feel unpolished. Cutscenes are frequently cited as a weak point, running at 30fps instead of 60fps despite the game’s frame rate improvements (GameSpot, GamesVillage.it), creating visual inconsistencies. Some critics (e.g., GamingTrend, IGN Italia) also note that older mechanics, like camera controls and AI behavior, feel outdated, while Hobby Consolas highlights minor bugs such as AI glitches and boss fight restarts. These issues suggest that the remaster prioritizes stability over substantial technical innovation. Overall, critics agree that God of War III Remastered on PS4 is a technically solid but modest upgrade. While the game runs smoothly at 60fps with improved resolution and responsiveness (DarkZero, Gameblog.fr), its lack of significant graphical or mechanical enhancements has drawn criticism. The consensus leans toward it being a “straightforward remaster” (God is a Geek) that respects the original’s design but fails to fully capitalize on PS4’s capabilities. Despite mixed reactions, most reviewers acknowledge its technical reliability, with IGN and Critical Hit noting that the core experience remains stable and enjoyable, even if it feels like a 2010 release in some aspects. The remaster’s success lies in its polish rather than revolutionary changes, making it a nostalgic but technically limited package for modern players.

God of War III Remastered offers nostalgic tweaks and minor extras like Photo Mode and DLCs, but its replay value hinges on fan devotion. Critics panned its repetitive gameplay, short campaign, and lack of meaningful upgrades, calling it a hollow rehash. While visuals and combat feel polished, the remaster lacks innovation or depth to justify multiple playthroughs—best for newcomers or diehards seeking a quick revisit.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the replay value.

The positives surrounding the replay value of God of War III Remastered center on its inclusion of additional content and enhanced features that cater to fans. Critics like 3DJuegos, Digital Chumps, and GameCrate highlight the Photo Mode, DLCs, Challenge Arenas, and costumes as significant contributors to revisiting the game, offering varied engagement beyond the core narrative. Gaming Nexus and Gaming Age note that the original design’s strength and improved visuals make it worthwhile for veterans to return, while XGN emphasizes multiple costumes, challenges, and difficulty modes as incentives for repeated playthroughs. These elements suggest that, for some players, the remaster provides enough novelty to justify a second or third run, particularly for those invested in the series’ lore or aesthetics. However, the negatives dominate the discourse, with most critics agreeing that the remaster lacks substantial new content to sustain long-term replayability. COGconnected, Critical Hit, and Dealspwn stress that the absence of extra modes, post-game content, or meaningful upgrades diminishes its appeal for returning players. Gameplanet and God is a Geek point to the repetitive nature of the gameplay and short campaign (10–12 hours), while Game Revolution criticizes outdated mechanics and a lack of innovation. Even features like the Photo Mode are seen as insufficient, with PlayStation Universe and The Jimquisition noting its limited functionality or minimal impact. Many reviewers, including IGN Italia and NZGamer, argue that the game feels like a re-release rather than a meaningful expansion, leaving little incentive for those who’ve already completed it. The overall consensus among critics is that God of War III Remastered offers moderate replay value, primarily benefiting newcomers or dedicated fans seeking nostalgia. While features like DLCs, Photo Mode, and Challenge Arenas provide some extra engagement, the lack of substantial new content or structural changes limits its long-term appeal. IGN and Eurogamer Italy acknowledge that the remaster’s improvements—such as refined visuals and combat—are enjoyable but not transformative. Most reviewers, including Gameblog.fr and Level7.nu, conclude it is best experienced once, with limited justification for repeated playthroughs unless driven by personal attachment to the series. Ultimately, the game’s replayability hinges on individual preferences, with its value as a remaster lying more in technical upgrades and minor additions than in enduring gameplay innovation.

The overall verdict on God of War III Remastered highlights its technical refinements and nostalgic appeal, with many critics praising its graphical upgrades and faithful recreation of the original experience. Reviews from IGN, GamesRadar+, and Digital Chumps emphasize the game’s visual enhancements, improved performance, and enduring strengths in combat design and storytelling. For newcomers, LevelUp and Multiplayer.it commend it as an accessible entry point, while Atomix calls it a "must-buy" for its legacy as one of the best action games ever made. The remaster’s ability to preserve the original’s intense set pieces, such as Kratos’ climactic battles, is frequently lauded, with JeuxActu and GamesVillage.it celebrating its impact on gaming history. Critics like GameCritics and GamingTrend acknowledge its value as a power fantasy, though they note that its narrative depth remains polarizing. However, the remaster’s lack of substantial changes and modernization is a recurring criticism. Many reviewers, including GamingTrend, GRYOnline.pl, and Game Revolution, argue it feels like a minimal update with little reason to purchase for PS4 owners who already own the original. Outdated mechanics, repetitive gameplay, and a weak story are frequently cited as drawbacks, with Game Revolution and GamesRadar+ pointing out its "aged" elements despite technical polish. The absence of new content or features—such as a trilogy collection or expanded lore—draws criticism from IGN Italia, Eurogamer Italy, and Dealspwn, who question the $39.99 price tag for what feels like an unchanged experience. Additionally, Push Square and NZGamer note that veterans may find it unexciting compared to later entries in the series, while GamesCrate and Hobby Consolas suggest its value is subjective depending on one’s familiarity with the franchise. Despite these criticisms, there is a broad consensus that God of War III Remastered remains a worthwhile experience for fans and newcomers alike, though not without caveats. While Game Informer and PlayStation LifeStyle praise it as a "must-play" for its iconic moments and technical upgrades, others like Giant Bomb and XGN acknowledge its conditional appeal. The game’s ability to deliver cathartic combat and memorable storytelling keeps it relevant, even if it doesn’t innovate. Ultimately, critics agree it serves as a polished but unremarkable remaster—celebrated for its legacy but questioned for its necessity in an era of more ambitious re-releases. As GamesRadar+ and Slant Magazine note, it’s a testament to the original’s brilliance but falls short of being a groundbreaking experience for all audiences.

TL;DR

Polished remaster of a classic, boasting sharp visuals and nostalgic charm but lacking modernization—celebrated for its legacy and combat, criticized for outdated mechanics and minimal changes, leaving its value dependent on fan loyalty.
