The story of God of War III Remastered is praised for providing a powerful conclusion to Kratos' tumultuous journey, though it remains largely unchanged from the original release. While the enhancements in graphics and performance are appreciated, some reviewers feel that the narrative lacks depth and does not warrant a second purchase. Overall, the story retains its intensity but offers no new content or developments.

“God of War running at 1080p/60fps looks nice; the story, gameplay, and progression system are still top-notch.”
“Enhancements are nice but don't make the game worth buying again; the story and characterization are one-note.”

God of War III: Remastered Review
This re-release seems unnecessary at first glance, but the conclusion of Kratos' journey serves up a level of spectacle that remains impressive in 2015.

God of War III Remastered delivers a masterful conclusion to Kratos' chaotic story arc – but this much was true when the original release brute forced its way onto the PS3 over five years ago. The bumped up resolution and significantly steadier framerate does improve the experience overall, but not to the point where it's worth paying almost full-price again. As such, while this remains an exceptional example of Sony Santa Monica's slick character action series, you should only really consider ripping open your wallet for this re-release if you've never experienced it before.
