God of War Creator David Jaffe Blasts 2D Prequel 'Sons of Sparta'

His YouTube tirade faults the young-Kratos focus, production quality, pacing, $30 price.

Overview

  • Jaffe called the newly released side-scroller “total crap” and urged players to avoid it after an hour of play.
  • He criticized frequent dialogue breaks and what he described as poor voice acting, saying he would not return to the game.
  • The creator questioned Sony and Santa Monica Studio’s decision-making, arguing the project disrespects the God of War license.
  • Coverage notes a contrasting view from at least one hands-on impression that praises the pixel-art style and sees promise.
  • Sons of Sparta is a 2D action-platformer prequel about a young Kratos, co-developed by Santa Monica Studio and Mega Cat Studios, released February 12 for $30 with no official response from Sony reported.
