About
God of War III, released in 2010, is a highly acclaimed action-adventure game that immerses players in the brutal world of Greek mythology. As the ex-Spartan warrior Kratos, you embark on an epic journey through Mt. Olympus and the depths of Hell, armed with your iconic double-chained blades and a variety of powerful weapons and magical abilities. The game's hack-and-slash combat, engaging narrative, and stunning visuals have solidified its place in gaming history, earning it a solid 86/100 rating.
For PC gamers looking to run God of War III smoothly, the game is relatively accessible in terms of hardware requirements. With a minimum GPU score of around 600, even entry-level graphics cards can deliver playable performance, but to truly enjoy the game, mid-range GPUs are recommended for better frame rates (FPS) and improved graphics settings. Players with 1 GB of RAM can meet the game's basic requirements, but more RAM will enhance overall performance, especially during intense gameplay moments.
If you're a fan of single-player action-adventure titles, God of War III is definitely worth your time. Its rich storyline and thrilling combat mechanics, paired with an impressive benchmark performance on accessible hardware, make it an excellent choice for both newcomers and seasoned players alike.
Performance profile
March 2010 release. God of War III targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.
God of War III is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Extremely light — God of War III runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Following the ending of God of War II, God of War III picks up directly after this with a stirring opening narration from Zeus discussing the actions of the rogue Kratos, who is 'commanding' a small army of Titans rescued from the Great War (using the power of the Fates). The Olympians immediately rush to battle; Helios rides on his chariot over Olympus, Hermes speeds down the very peaks of Olympus as Zeus watches on, Hercules receives the order to lead his troops down into the fray, Hades lunges off and engages several Titans in his giant form, and Poseidon (using his aquakinesis) shoots down from Olympus like a missile and performs a death blow through the chest of Epimetheus, and then manifests himself as a massive water being and spawns several water horses called Hippocampi to aid in the battle. With Poseidon as their greatest threat in the battle, having already decimated numerous Titans and soon going after Gaia herself, Kratos engages the God of the Sea and after drawing him into Gaia's grasp manages to knock a weakened Poseidon out of his godly form and onto a separate platform. The two quarrel with each other briefly before Kratos walks up and beats the Lord of the Sea savagely, finally gouging out his eyes and snapping his neck before he tosses him into the ocean. With Poseidon's death, the seas cataclysm and ocean levels rise significantly, causing a flood that appears to engulf the entire world and destroying almost all of mankind save those on top of Olympia.
