Review: God of War: Sons of Sparta (PS5) - Series' Boldest Bet Is Also Its Slowest Burn

Kratos goes Metroidvania on PS5. God of War: Sons of Sparta is a bold side‑scroll that explores his youth with Deimos — beautiful pixel art, Bear McCreary score and satisfying combat once upgrades click. It’s a slow burn (early hours drag) and co‑op only unlocks after finishing, but patient fans are rewarded.
