all you need to know is that Kratos was a Spartan guy that was tricked into killing his family, killed Ares (the God of War), became the new God of War, and then went and killed all the rest of the Greek gods

Im in the same boat. I was under the impression he was some sort of Demi-god. Not a regular spartan warrior

he started off as a Spartan warrior, who was Ares' champion, and after he killed Ares, he became the God of War, but in God of War 2, they made him Zeus' son

Gameplay wise, isn't it completely different from the rest of the series?

I think I played the first one, but its been so long. It was a bit of a button masher, as far as combat was concerned, IIRC

You don't have to but you won't understand a lot of the call backs they do in the story.

The new game plays somewhat like Dark Souls, but yeah both of them do not play like each other at all.

I only played the first one and was fine.

I mean, I had a *basic* understanding of the plot of the first three games, so maybe hit up wikipedia I guess.

kratos was originally a woman but balrog feels like all that shouting and squealing is too much for kids under 13 years old can handle.

One of the greatest moments in the game probably doesn't have the same impact if you haven't played the originals at all

When it happened it was fucking amazing

The trilogy is worth playing, or at the very least play 3 since it's on the PS4.

Never played the newest installment, but seeing the scope as each game progressed up to 3 was amazing.

I recommend playing them all just to see the ability to manipulate the environment and having a greater appreciation because of it.
