While the Origins Collection is a fantastic remaster, it's not without its flaws. The camera angles can be a bit frustrating at times, leading to missed opportunities or cheap deaths. Additionally, the controls can feel clunky and unresponsive, especially during intense combat sequences.

Overall, God of War: Origins Collection is a nostalgic trip for fans of the series and a great introduction to the world of Kratos for newcomers. The remastered visuals, engaging gameplay, and captivating story make it a must-play for any action-adventure enthusiast. Despite some minor flaws, this collection is a true gem.
