13 Most Divisive Single Player Prequels

The games industry is filled with a ton of promising and financially lucrative IPs, and as such fans are accustomed to getting sequels to their favourite games. However, prequels are less popular – but much like sequels, they do vary wildly in quality. To that effect, here are 13 of the most divisive single-player prequels of all time.

God of War: Ascension

God of War: Ascension showcases the story of series protagonist Kratos as he fights all those who oppose him for breaking his blood oath to Ares. While the game is considered a great one by many, others thought that the QTE heavy combat and the over-the-top violence that catapulted the series to great heights at one point were now becoming stale and required a major rethinking going forward.
