The first God of War is a tough game to properly revisit - it's a game defined more by cultural response, legacy, and even parody than by the contents of the game itself. Within a year of this PS2 classic's 2005 launch, Kratos was already being boiled down to an angry brute, at times even within official PS marketing materials. Nearly 20 years later, with a whole second saga of games that's redefined this series and its anti-hero, it's time to revisit both the original God of War and its development - to see how that development defined both the game and its later evolution...and to see how it changed the dynamic of PlayStation's internal development as a whole.
