God of War

You cannot play/watch God of War: A Call From The Wilds from its source anymore; however, Sony uploaded the video to YouTube. While containing nothing that cannot be inferred from 2018's God of War, A Call From The Wilds is a decent introduction to Atreus. Also, it is really short.

You cannot legally purchase God of War: Betrayal anymore, and I doubt too many people have a mid-2000s mobile sitting around. That said, there are ways to gain access to this game, although that's all I'll be saying about that. If you somehow find a way to play Betrayal, is it actually worth it? Well, the answer is obviously no. Don't get me wrong, this game was one of the better JSME games of its era and would have been a nice treat on those devices. However, in 2026, there is absolutely no reason to play this title unless you really want to 100% experience everything God of War has to offer.

If you opted to follow God of War's chronological timeline, Ascension would be the first game you would play. For complete newcomers, I definitely would not recommend doing this, as this entry is not a particularly great entry point from a gameplay perspective. That said, I would still recommend Ascension, but play it after God of War 3 and only if you do not feel burned out.

To be honest, Chains of Olympus is the most forgettable main(ish) GoW game, and portability was its biggest selling point. Although way shorter than a home console entry, Chains of Olympus was still 100% a God of War game, and that was incredible on the PSP. Nowadays, I imagine most people will play the PSP entries on a TV, which diminishes their value considerably. Still, Chains of Olympus is short and aggressively OK. It is rarely anything more than just fine (by GoW standards), but that is enough.
