All of them

play the two first (preferably the remaster), and you're done

if you still want more (they all feel so similar that you'll probably be tired playing them in a row), go ahead and play 3 but I wouldn't touch anything else

Is that Batista or Kratos?

>>323490165
Even Betrayal?

>Not recommending GoW3 as a standard

It's fucking essential to the story. Honestly OP just play the main trilogy and if you still want more, move onto the prequels. That's the only sensible thing to do.

is this guy serious

>>323490513
For real, is it?

>>323491064
No.

>>323491154
Then not all of them are canonical.

>>323491318
Go and play them, sperg.

>>323491462
Is Betrayal the only non-canonical one?

>I'm a sperg and need to play them in order of release. Which ones are cannon?
You realize that anybody could lie to you right now and you wouldn't notice?

ghost of sparta is the best game of the series

Despite not being essential Accession is still worth playing, it feels oddly fresh to me for some reason.

But get it cheap though.
