Mothergamer (1568 KP) rated God of War III in Video Games

Apr 3, 2019

I finished God Of War 3 tonight and I have to say this was my guilty pleasure. Not only did I love the story, but I loved all the brutally filled action sequences such as decapitating centaurs or smashing stone statues with giant hammers. There is also the love of mythology and enjoying the presence of various characters from said myths throughout the game as well as gods. I also liked that there was a little more character development with the hero Kratos and the idea of redemption and hope.
The game play is pretty tight and the same as the previous two games, with a few odd camera angles here and there, but over all the controls handle very well. There are even some new weapons to add to the artillery with some very interesting tweaks on the old ones making for a fun siege on the gods. There are bonus items that are unlocked once you beat the game and some fun costumes.
I will be playing through God Of War 3 again just for those bonuses and to check them out. If you haven't played the game yet, I suggest you do especially if you like an action game with a lot of punch.

Write your own history.

RISK is an extraordinary war game. Although it doesn't accurately portray commanding troops across a world wide battlefield it does a good enough job for an afternoons play. RISK Legacy takes this to a new level. Each game and each decision you make changes the game for ever. Set over 15 games the board evolves, by the addition of stickers, changing each territory, granting it new buffs/debuffs that will change the way in which you need to play in each future game. Each faction also gains new and different abilities as you make your way through the saga. By the end your game will be unique. No one else will have the same game you do as all the modifiers will have utilised differently.

The game is not flawless however. Due to the evolving map and rules, you really need to play with the same group of people each time, meaning if you can't get together too often it could take years to play your 15 games. Due to there being such a wealth of modifiers and variants (many of which occur only under certain conditions and as a "pick one of these two options") a large number of things arnt used, but you won't really notice this. Being a 15 game series there is also the possibility that you may make some modifications early on that cause game breaking OP/UP territories/playable factions, and you will have to live with these for the rest of your games.

All in all, I would recommend this game. But, not without warning. If someone has not played RISK before I would recommend a few games of the base edition before embarking on a 15 game run on RISK Legacy to see if you genuinely l like the game. This is ultimately an evolution of RISK not an alternative.
