Playing God of War: Ascension right now. Eh, it is what it is. A fun game to just pick up and play which has great boss fights and set pieces. I could not be less interested in the story (despite being very interested in Greek Mythology), and it's the same old formula of fight this mob, move into the next area, fight another mob, solve a puzzle, fight another mob, etc., etc. I know it's a game that wants to stick to the formula that made it popular in the first place, but it's almost shocking how little they've changed.
And it has to be said that this series has nowhere to go now. We already offed all of the gods and fought tons of the famous heroes and monsters in the first 3 games, so you can't really up or even match the wow factor of the original trilogy, not in this game and especially not in any games they plan on doing down the road.
