Creator of War "Never Return" in Sons of Sparta just 1 hour later

God of War David Jaffe shares his thoughts on the recently released Sons of Sparta, and he really Don't mind playing for just an hour.

This week's game status was big for PlayStation in general, but it was especially memorable for anyone hoping for Kratos' return. Not only did we get confirmation that the first three games in the series are getting a remake, but we also got a shadow drop of the long-rumored Metroidvania spin-off, Sons of Sparta.

Suddenly releasing a brand new God of War game was a great way to end the game's status, and it seems that many players are digging Sparta of Sparta, even if they're having a hard time getting its co-op. A remarkable person who does not Like Sons of Sparta, though, the series creator is David Jaffe, who recently shared a beautiful review.

The Creator of War says the children of Sparta “don't make no f**king sense.”

David Jaffe doesn't really care about Sons of Sparta

On his YouTube channel, Jaffe shared a video on Sons of Sparta with a thumbnail immediately calling his views “absolute nonsense.” In the video, Jaffe admits that Sons of Sparta is the type of game he's “always wanted” from God of War because he's “super into” the idea of a 2D God of War game.

That's where Jaffe's interest ends, though, as he says the Sons of Sparta weren't what he was talking about. Jaffe says he doesn't like the game and can't recommend it, leaving one to question what Sony Santa Monica was thinking with the spinoff. War Creator doesn't seem to have issues with the gameplay, though, noting that it's “serviceable” and “okay”.

Instead, what makes Jaffe even exist is Sons of Sparta. Jaffe says that “it's not God of War” and asks who wants to play as a young Kratos who is just a “normal kid”. Jaffe thinks the team wanted to do something similar to Condemned Gaiden: Ragebound or recent indie games, but Sparta's production values aren't quite there by comparison.

Overall, it's clear that Jaffe's main issue with Sons of Sparta isn't really about the game itself but what it represents for God of War and the missed opportunity to play as the Kratos that everyone knows and loves. So far, it seems like many players aren't as upset about him, but we can safely say that Sons of Sparta doesn't have the creator's stamp of approval.
