I beat God of War Ascension recently. It had fun puzzles that were a bit more challenging than previous GOW puzzles. The combat felt great, I like being able to latch onto one enemy while attacking another. The only weapons in this game are variations of the Blades of Chaos and it was a good idea overall. TBH the only other GOW weapons that I remember liking nearly as much as the Blades were the Artemis Blade and those fists you get off Hercules.
The two things the game really lacked were epic boss battles and enemy variety
