[edit ]@JDC808: Comments after a quick skim:
- Per MOS:LAYOUT, explanatory notes usually go before the references.
- The "Reception" section is quite long and falls into the "X says Y" pattern. WP:RECEPTION has some advice on how to summarise and reword some prose to avoid this.
Once these are addressed, I think this can go to WP:GAN, where a more thorough review can take place. Z1720 (talk) 13:58, 25 April 2026 (UTC) Reply

[edit ]- Delink "video game" its a common enough thing and dropping the link solves a MOS:SOB issue
- Done.
- "This is the first full game" the word full implies other content was released that did but I don't think there was?
- This is covered further in the Writing section, but in the Valhalla expansion for Ragnarök, Kratos revisits some areas from the old Greek games and also battles enemies from then (Helios's decapitated head also appears in place of Mimir's to mock him).
- "daemon" needs to be disambiguated
- Done.
- Can you add some images?
In progress. Done.
- "in-game rewards" such as?
- Done.
- When mentioning his criticism can you state when David Jaffe left the god of war franchise?
- Done.
- The notes need citations, they aren't covered under plotcite since they are about different games
- Done.

[edit ]@JDC808: Didn't find much issue with the majority of the article, but some sections are overly bloated, especially the lead and some parts of the synopsis. This is also my first peer review so please bear with me.
- it is a prequel to the entire series as its setting takes place in the Greek era before God of War: Ascension (2013)... →
It is a prequel to the entire series, set before God of War: Ascension (2013)...)
- This is the first full game in the series to be loosely based on Greek mythology since Ascension, as the prior two installments—God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök (2022)—were based on Norse mythology. →
It is the first game in the series to be loosely based on Greek mythology since Ascension, marking a departure from the Norse mythology-based settings of God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök (2022).)
- The reception part of the lead is way too detailed and technical for readers. Trim it down to 2-4 sentences. I would say something akin to this:
- Sons of Sparta received mixed reviews from critics. Praise was directed towards the narrative and 2D environments, while criticism focused on the lackluster Metroidvania gameplay design, combat system and character designs. Some reviewers were disappointed that the main game did not have cooperative play, and originally having to complete the main game first to access the multiplayer mode; the developers addressed this with an update enabling the multiplayer to be unlocked sooner." But if you feel yours is fine or this needs modifications, no problem.

- @The Corvette ZR1: Thanks for the comments. Firstly I apologize for just now responding to this. I had some IRL stuff that kept me from really looking at your comments and addressing them. I will begin working on this soon. --JDC808 ♫ 03:12, 6 May 2026 (UTC) Reply
