* Destructoid (90/100 ): " God of War has never looked or played
better than this. Kratos has never been as deep or interesting as
this. They've set the bar so high that I have no idea how they'll be
able to follow this one up. Sony Santa Monica should be proud. Series
fans should be proud."
*. Gamespot (80/100 ):
"The single-player is where you should spend your time. No, it doesn't
quite reach the audacious and rage-filled moments of God of War:
*GamesRadar (70/100 ):
"Also somewhat disappointing are the newly added multiplayer features,
which are held up by clever level design and strong game modes, but
smacked down by uninteresting gameplay. It sounds great in theory, but
in practice it turns out there's nothing less fun than being beat up
by someoneas powerful as Kratos."
*. VideoGamer (70/100) :
"The multiplayer component is as fresh as the single-player is
familiar. Ask yourself what you're after from a God of War game: if
you desire only to step into the boots of gaming's mostbrutish, then
you may find Ascension wanting. If, however,you're open to the idea of
taking on the mantle of anotherSpartan hero, you'll find it a
limb-lopping, head-popping delight.

Review: God of War AscensionMarch 12, 2013With the initial build up
for "Godof War Ascension" centered onmultiplayer, series veterans
beganto fear that the grandiose singleplayer would be a thing of
thepast. Those fears can be put torest. Kratos' latest epic journey
isjust as compelling, heart-pumpingand bloody as his five
previoustales. The combat -- the franchise'sbread and butter -- has
neverbeen so visceral and developerSony Santa Monica has added
anadditional layer of depth to thetried and true Blades of Chaos.Add
to that a multiplayer that isunlike anything currently out there.
*. Edge (70/100 ):
"Consider our expectations defied: this is the star of the show. While
this series' singleplayer template is showing its age, there's plenty
in Ascension's multiplayer that deserves to survive the transition to
PS4."
