God of War: The Official Novelization

I have a physical copy and boy do i regret buying it. Do you know how they adapt a book to a movie/game and water it down? This is the same but reversed. Every nuance the game has is dumbed down and rushed, from "the room" level dialogue to nonsense combat description. Avoid this and just play the game.

I’ll preface my review with this statement, I’m a massive God of War fan. From its initial release on the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005 through to the recent 2018 PlayStation 4 instalment that this book is the novelization of. I mean, the book even has the exact same cover as the video game! Set in ancient Greece and full of the gods and monsters of Greek mythology God of War was a fantastic series and called to me. The setting, the creatures, the epic boss fights, Kratos, the main character, angry with a fiery rage, hell-bent on vengeance against the God’s, the sweet weaponry that he wielded, I mean, c’mon the Blades of Chaos are amazing! and, I’m not gonna lie, the gratuitous violence and copious bloodshed appealed to.

God of war, the game is a masterpiece. The book is a worthy companion and has been written as a proper novel. Must read for franchise's fans with unexpected surprises!!
