- Fans recently picked between the God of War Greek and Norse eras in a poll.
- The Greek saga ended up winning the poll, thanks to its set pieces, sense of scale, gameplay, and more.
- Many also admitted to the strengths of the Norse saga but agreed that the Greek titles aged better.
The debate between God of War’s new and classic titles will seemingly never end. Where the latest titles took the franchise to never-before-seen levels of success with millions of sales and critical acclaim, the original Greek trilogy established Kratos as an icon of PlayStation.
As of today, fans love both eras of the IP, but a new poll suggests that the perception of the God of War Greek trilogy is slightly more favorable.
Why it matters: PlayStation has recently announced a remake of the God of War trilogy, so fan admiration for the classic games is a great sign of success for the franchise moving forward.
Fans recently created a poll on Resetera to pick between the Greek and Norse eras of God of War. As shown above, the Greek era won the poll with 50.5% of the votes, while the Norse era earned around 49.5% of the votes.
The results were extremely close, but after 2,000 votes, it seems fans have voted in favor of the Greek trilogy. In the comments, many pointed to God of War 3 as the best of the franchise, picking the Greek era thanks to this title alone.
For context, God of War 3 featured incredible boss battles, a relentless pace, and genre-defining visuals for the time. As fans put it, the game was one of PlayStation’s best releases of the time.
Many also discussed the sense of scale in the older games as something that remains unmatched to date. This is best seen in boss battles against formidable foes like Kronos.
On the other hand, fans pointed to the Norse era’s strengths in storytelling. However, where God of War 2018 was appreciated by most fans, Ragnarok received criticism for offering an unsatisfying conclusion to the Norse era.
I enjoyed 2018, and Ragnarok was fairly good, but you just cannot beat the Greek era games in scope, variety, and set pieces.

With the God of War remakes now in production, it remains to be seen how modern audiences will react to Kratos’ classic adventures. If this poll is any indication, the remakes will be just as successful as the series’ recent entries.
