Todays game is God of War, the original this time. How would you rate the story on a scale from 1-10?

You can still rate previous days games if you missed them, just write <game name> <rating>. If you want to change your rating you can just specify that you are changing your rating. Nominations for future days are also welcome, nominate as many games as you like and I will get to all of them. Games need at least four votes to count for the list.

really kind of a struggle to separate the story itself from how much I just absolutely love this game as a whole package, but at its core it manages to tell an original story that completely feels like a Greek myth, while also weaving it into greater Greek mythology and giving us one of the most memorable protagonists of the decade

Skies of Arcadia - 7.63 (15 votes)
Suikoden - 7.63 (15 votes)

Nice to see these two great JRPGs on equal footing--especially considering Skies drew some inspiration from Suikoden.

To me the plot is mostly just Kratos being angry. For good reason and all but yeah. Aesthetically it's nice and exciting but it's not really my thing. Does what it needs to and little more.
