God of War (2018) turned out to be a very good experience overall, despite the dodge mechanic being a bit naff. Moved onto God of War: Ragnarok this weekend too.I’m now playing God of War (2018), a very different take on the series but I’m enjoying this new approach for the most part so far.

With the way the games are you would ideally start with the 1st lot of games (Trails in the Sky) because as you play future games there are references and characters you would only understand if you've played in order, but I think it's just on steam and I think released on psp back in the day (there are mutterings of a remake). I've not played Trails in the Sky as I don't play on Steam or have a psp.Found the thought of starting the Trails series a bit daunting given how many games there are in the series to date, which is one reason I've never really sat down to play any of them. Thoughts on starting with the more recent ones?

Finished Ragnarok and am playing the Roguelike Valhalla add-on currently. Ragnarok is a stronger game overall though the crap dodging and lack of cool bosses excepting optional ones still stood out as flaws. Curious to see where they take the story from here and am glad I finally gave this franchise a playthrough.God of War (2018) turned out to be a very good experience overall, despite the dodge mechanic being a bit naff. Moved onto God of War: Ragnarok this weekend too.
