God of War: Ascension - Collector's Edition

About

God of War: Ascension throws Kratos into another myth-shaking clash between ancient beings and broken vows. As the series' brutal hero, you'll swing blades and unleash chaos through mythic battles, blending fast combat with exploration. The story leans into Greek lore's darker corners, focusing on Primordials and divine retribution. Multiplayer modes let you test skills against others, with arena-style brawls and character customization. The Collector's Edition piles on extras that fans will appreciate. A detailed Kratos figurine, steelbook case, and full soundtrack sit alongside in-game rewards like a DLC pass and XP boosts. Multiplayer armor packs and a PS3 theme add extra flair. While the base game received mixed reviews for its uneven mix of new ideas and recycled mechanics, the physical items alone make this set a draw for series completists. The included pass for future content adds replay value, though actual use depends on what's unlocked.

Storyline

In a war between the astronomically large deities known as the Primordials, the madness and rage of the war took form, becoming the three guardians of honor, the Furies, who were tasked with exacting retribution onto any oath-breaker or betrayer. The first victim of the Furies was the Hecatonchires, Aegaeon, who had broken a blood oath to Zeus himself. The Furies set about their task, and, believing death to be too kind for one who had broken an oath to a God, transformed Aegaeon's humongous body into a stone prison for all who would dare follow his example in the future.
