Like I get that the Norse games are the ones praised specifically for their story, but I'm not even sure why you would want to skip the Greek ones. All the violence, sex and dark themes? - Obviously not given how much of a hit Game of Thrones was and how they've basically tried to turn every gritty fantasy series released afterwards into GOT ever since. Not to mention that, while definitely not AS DARK as the Greek games, the Norse games' story isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. How unlikable Kratos is in those games? - Well first off, we need to see him being a monster first for his eventual redemption to have the impact you want it to. Second, if you're going chronologically then you have FOUR straight games worth of material (Ascension, Chains of Olympus, GOW1 and Ghost of Sparta), all of which feature a Kratos who (while deeply flawed) is sympathetic enough that you can still root for him. It's only really GOW 2 and 3 that he stops giving any kind of a shit and goes full...
