The Trial of Archimedes—a notably difficult stage toward the end of God of War: Ascension—will be getting a patch to make it more manageable, director Todd Papy confirmed on Twitter.

@sergot93 It will be patched very soon.

The section in question, which involves fighting several long waves of enemies, has frustrated many gamers and critics alike—Rev3′s Adam Sessler specifically called the section out in his video review. Our own reviews chief, Ray Carsillo, however, while agreeing that the Trial of Archimedes is difficult, doesn’t feel it’s a point of contention.

Chris Holzworth has wanted to report on and critique games all his life. He first cut his teeth writing for enthusiast sites such as RPGFan, then took a break from gaming to study English, creative writing, and linguistics at Rutgers University. Started out as EGM's obligatory east coast correspondent before selling out and moving to the west coast. Chris is particularly keen on examining narrative structure, character development, and writing in video games.
