Wow, surprised nobody recommended God of War. It’s by a mile better than any other game in the franchise, won game of the year if memory serves right. And then when you play that one you get to roll into Ragnorok which is arguably even better.

Do you need to have played the earlier games for it?
I got this with my PS4. I already had the GOW 1&2 collection for PS3, so I figured I’d beat those and maybe get 3 first. But the first game is… rough. I’d say it hasn’t aged well, but honestly I don’t think it holds up to its contemporaries well.
I played it on-and-off for a few years now and finally beat it a couple weeks ago. I’m debating if I even want to bother with the 2nd game now.

I would say no. The earlier games are very very different types of games. If you played the earlier games, I think you’ll appreciate Kratos’ journey more but it’s not necessary, imo.

Like everyone said, nope not at all. I played a couple of them, but there’s a nifty YouTube video chronicling his journey in Greece!

It’s not required to play the previous games, there is some reference to them and the emotional impact of one scene may be diminished but that’s about it. I’m sure there are video recaps you can watch if you decide to skip the previous titles
