Many people are wondering about the PlayStation 5 game getting negative reviews – it’s God of War: Sons of Sparta, a smaller installment in the God of War series. While it’s not a full-scale release, so expectations weren’t as high, a first-party PlayStation game with the God of War name should be performing better than it currently is. Critics aren’t impressed, and while it might sell decently given the lack of major releases right now, it’s likely to be remembered as a disappointing game. It could be the first commercial misstep of 2026, but it probably won’t be the biggest one – bigger failures are likely to emerge later in the year.
