Faded

This is such a vapid article. There is little downside to rereleasing the Greek games for the many who prefer the old formula, and newer players can just skip it. The author acts as if players who joined the series after 2018 will suddenly recoil from the franchise, as if they weren't already aware that the Greek games existed.

It is also a common misconception that the Greek games don't have depth, when they are classical allegory for the rise and fall of empires and the human flaws and tendencies that perpetuate the cycle of violence we see in our own world.

Its arguably infantile to say games must hold your hand and linger on every emotionally significant event. The Greek games are more mature in this sense. When hardships arise, there is no time to stop and evaluate one's feelings on the matter. It's up to the player to form their own opinion and interpretation of how the rise and fall of Kratos applies to real world themes and human tendencies.
