About God of War (2005)

God of War is a hack and slash action game released on March 22, 2005, for the PlayStation 2. It opens the God of War series and blends puzzle, hack and slash, and adventure elements into a single package for players who enjoy close combat and exploration.

SCE Santa Monica Studio developed it. Capcom and Sony Computer Entertainment published it. More than two decades after its release, it remains the starting point for the series on Respawndex's list of games from that console generation.

The game is played from a third person view and is designed for a single player, with no other modes listed. Its themes include action, fantasy, and historical settings, drawing on ancient Greece and its mythology. The game carries ESRB M (Mature 17+) and PEGI 18 ratings, so it is aimed at adult players.

The series is tied together by the God of War franchise name, and this installment serves as the starting point for the wider line of games that followed.
