Best Boss Battles of God of War - Part 2 of 3

10 Best Boss Battles of the God of War Trilogy



Hydra

The Hydra in God of War is the first boss battle in the series -- and serves as an introduction to the game and the mythology behind it. After killing the Hydra’s many heads, Kratos confronts the Hydra king on a ship.
After the player climbs up a net to reach the wooden platform atop the mast. The Hydra’s roar is enough to send Kratos careening off of the platform. Kratos pushes the Hydra’s head down onto the ship’s mast, impaling and killing it.



Kraken

In God of War III Kratos battles a Kraken. During the fight Kratos uses the body of a dead spartan soldier to weigh down on pressure pads that allow him to fly up and cut off the Kraken’s tentacles.
The Kraken realizes Kratos’ plan and eats the body. Kratos must then dislodge the Kraken from the pillars it’s holding on to and deliver a final blow with an extendable bridge.
Ares
In God of War Ares is the final boss of the game and the series’ first battle against a god. After retrieving Pandora’s Box, Kratos grows in size to contend with Ares, who transforms into a more beastly god. Ares torments Kratos with memories of how he (tricked by Ares himself) had slain his wife and child. Kratos officially becomes the God of War by driving a massive blade through Ares’ throat.

Time Manipulation in Game Design

Time Manipulation in Games Introduction The gameplay mechanic that I wish I had come up with first, is Time Manipulation. This is includes the concept of time dilation and the reversal of time in games. Implementing the Manipulation of Time Time manipulation is a robust mechanic. It involves non-exploitable time manipulation, with the goal of being fast and smooth, while not computationally-taxing on memory or hardware resources. The best way to implement this mechanic can be seen in Braid - an indie platform and puzzle game, developed by Number None, Inc. In this game, the world state is recorded for every frame, where the data is stored and compressed. With the recorded frames, any changing entities are extracted and mixed into the final state, which can be manipulated or rewound by the player. The player’s position is recorded and other properties such as color and rotation are stored as an integer that can be reconstructed, along with time information taken fro...

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex Review - Part 3

FORZA MOTORSPORT 6: APEX Favorite Gameplay Component My favorite gameplay component of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is altering and tailoring my driving style to the conditions of the race. If ever I attempt to reach top-speed on a wet track such as Brands Hatch United Kingdom, the vehicle spins off track and out of control. That’s a challenge for me, as my strategy isn’t so much into drifting, but in staying as straight as possible, so that I can reach over to 200 km/h -- keeping within a controllable limit. Another method of mine I had to retire -- and this is coming from the likes of Asphalt 6: Airborne and Mario Kart Double Dash - - which is ramming into players. I quickly found out in a vehicle simulator under the laws of natural physics, this reduces my speed on impact. There are also frequent bottlenecks at turning points in the track; luckily I can use my best strategy and I find this to be the best opportunity to strategically slip past other cars when an opening ...
