God of War vs Hades
God of War
God of War is a Playstation-exclusive game that casts you into the shoes of Kratos once again. However, this time, after taking his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus, he was given a second chance at fatherhood and that can be quite a tall task especially when the world has gradually become even harsher and unforgiving. With his son Atreus by his side, Kratos will need to teach the young boy all that he will need to know to survive while controlling the rage that had the better of him more times than he could count in the past. Like the previous, this game has a massive and gorgeous open world for you to explore and a thrillingly-visceral close-quarter combat system to do battle with. It features a ton of familiar and new Nordic creatures, some of which are mythical and legendary; and a rewarding progression system which will see the skills of both Kratos and Atreus increase noticeably over time.God of War ensures its players a gritty and grueling, yet somewhat heartwarming gaming experience where you'll get to not only mentor a young boy in the intricate art of war, but also to help Kratos rediscover his fatherly side through the game's powerful storyline. This PS4 game is slated to be released early 2018.
Hades
Hades is an action-packed roguelike RPG by Supergiant Games, creators of the highly-acclaimed Transistor and Bastion. You’ll play as Zagreus, son of the God of the Underworld, Hades, and Persephone, daughter of Demeter. The game covers the journey of the young Prince of the Underworld to leave his home, but to be free of his father’s clutches, he needs to go and battle Hades’ many minions across the vast expanse of his realm.Each escape attempt will be riddled with battles against the likes of Megaera, Perseus and Asterius, and even Hades himself. Though the challenge will be massive, you’ll get stronger with each attempt, strengthening the Infernal Arms like the Stygian Blade, Varatha, and Aegis and unlocking more as you progress. Thankfully, you won’t be alone in this battle, since the Olympians will grant you boons that will aid you in battle. For example, Zeus will add lighting to your attacks, Aphrodite will make your attacks render the Curse and Weak status, while Athena’s boon will deflect enemy attacks.
Apart from the action-packed battles with mobs and bosses, you’ll also deal with various challenges from Thanatos, the Olympians you’ve scorned, and Chaos himself. You’ll be treated to an outstanding art style, an epic cast of fully-voiced characters, and high-octane combat. The game is widely considered a masterpiece and has won several awards. So yes, we recommend giving it a shot. If you’re not convinced, well, please note that you can pet Cerberus.
