I ask this because they are the only critically acclaimed single player games i've never played
Connor Moore
probably that they are movie games

I like them a lot. They get compared to DMC and NG a lot, and in that light the combat in God of War isn't all that special. But I think it's a misleading comparison to make: the God of War games (especially the first one) are a lot more focused on broader action-adventure stuff. There's more platforming, a lot more puzzle-solving, and also a lot more spectacle. They aren't Prince of Persia or anything, but their overall priorities are different from DMC no matter how much they borrow from it.
Also, Ghost of Sparta is great and worth playing if you enjoy the other games. It's one of my favorites. I'm not a big fan of God of War 4 but there's worse out there.

literally the same mechanically
i stopped playing the 2 in like 30 minutes when i realised this, just really fucking boring games desu, same with the new one, a load of shit

1 has an unironically good story as far greek tragedies go
2 is fun and has peak level design
David Cruz
GoW 1 has a neat story but the combat gets old fast.
2's story wasn't as good but the combat feels a bit better and the pacing is better.

I played 1 a couple of months ago for the first time. The most interesting thing about it is as said, that its story is a new, pretty straight Greek tragedy. Otherwise its very much just a basic action adventure game with dmc-lite combat. Pacing is pretty awful IMO, particularly the lack of boss fights.
I only played a little of 2 before stopping. It didn't feel much improved from the first, but maybe I'm wrong and should finish it. Though I might have stabbed myself in the foot on that one, because I started 3 recently.

4 was by a long way the best in the series. Best game I've played in years.

The whole trilogy is amazing. How they managed to fuck up nugow is beyond me
