God of War 3 was critically acclaimed upon release, with a reviewer from IGN stating that it redefines the word “scale” in video games. It has been praised for its graphics, particularly of Kratos, which IGN called “perhaps the single most impressive-looking character ever in video games”. The game received several awards, including “Most Anticipated Game of 2010” and “Best PS3 Game” at the 20 Spike Video Game Awards, respectively, and the “Artistic Achievement” award at the 2011 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Video Game Awards. Compared with previous installments, God of War 3 offers a revamped magic system, more onscreen enemies, new camera angles, and downloadable content. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability as alternative combat options, and the game features puzzles and platforming elements. It uses quick time events, where the player acts in a timed sequence to defeat strong enemies and bosses. The gameplay is similar to previous installments, focusing on combo-based combat with the player’s main weapon-the Blades of Exile-and secondary weapons acquired during the game.

The game is presently accessible for Microsoft Windows on GamesKnit. Guided by the spirit of Athena, Kratos battles monsters, gods, and Titans in a search for Pandora, without whom he cannot open Pandora’s Box, defeat Zeus, and end the reign of the Olympian Gods. Reigniting the Great War, Kratos ascends Mount Olympus until he is abandoned by the Titan Gaia. The player controls the protagonist and former God of War, Kratos, after his betrayal at the hands of his father Zeus, King of the Olympian Gods.

Loosely based on Greek mythology, the game is set in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central motif. Released for the Microsoft (PC), PlayStation 3 (PS3) console on March 16, 2010, the game is the fifth installment in the God of War series and the seventh, and last, chronologically. God of War 3 is a third-person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).
