God of War (2005) is my favorite game of all time. Sure it hasn't aged the best, but at the time I played it, it left a huge impact on me. I think the combat is still mostly fun and the exploration of these grand locations is great. I liked the story as you find out the character you play as isn't as innocent as you had initially believed him to be. I think the new God of War are an excellent follow up but I'll always miss the old games.
