Those games have more than enough charm to remain iconic, but Kratos’ – and everyone else’s – characterization is kinda mid and often felt undercooked. The premise, overall plot, and adventure are fantastic. I honestly think no one back then would’ve complained if the story were “just there” to justify more blood-soaked carnage on PSP, but both games really tried to cook something relevant to the bigger God of War picture.Ī good deal of the original trilogy’s storytelling hasn’t aged too well, let’s be honest.

The studio's work rivalled some of the stuff we had played on PS2, and that’s why the developmental outfit later had the opportunity to craft something bigger for PS3 with The Order: 1886.īoth games fill in gaps in Kratos’ original story arc Chains of Olympus kicks off after he gets the mythical power-up from Ares (and after Ascension’s events), but right before the first game Ghost of Sparta tells a rather critical story set in between the first and second entries. Moreover, the streamlined art direction in both of them often puts their visuals well above the first and second mainline entries of the saga.įor those who don’t know or remember: Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta were developed by Ready at Dawn, an often-overlooked SCE studio that spearheaded early first-party efforts for the PSP with Daxter – a more than successful spinoff of, you guessed it, the Jak and Daxter series.

I’m fairly sure they’re more relevant to Sony’s interests than *checks notes* Toy Story 3.Įven if you take the God of War IP out of the equation and treat Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus as breezy, standalone action-adventure games, they still bang and look gorgeous – despite the limited portable hardware they were developed for.

Yes, these two are only a couple of games in a whole sea of classic titles which have yet to arrive to PS Plus Premium’s ( currently lacklustre) library of games, but they represent two of the highest highs in PSP history. With all other entries present in the current PS Plus Premium offerings (including 2013’s criminally overlooked Ascension), what’s up with those two, less well-known games? There are some pretty important plot points in both PSP games. God of War diehards will surely have no problems as they’ve been hoarding all and each of Kratos’ adventures over the years, but newcomers or casual fans probably never gave Chains of Olympus or Ghost of Sparta a fair chance. Well, the Premium tier doesn’t even have Tekken 3, so let me press square to doubt. “It’ll be packed with classics,” the platform holder said. Don't sleep on Chains of Olympus.īut here’s the problem: Sony refuses to make it easy for us to play those titles despite having launched an upgraded version of its PS Plus subscription service earlier this year.
One of many excellent trailers for God of War: Ragnarok.
