Most agree the Norse games (2018 & Ragnarök) function well as a separate entry point, but playing the Greek games first provides deeper context for Kratos' character and references in the newer titles.

No, God of War isn't based on a true story but is heavily inspired by Greek and Norse mythologies, weaving fictional tales around real gods, monsters, and legendary figures, with Kratos being a unique creation rather than a historical person, though he shares a name with a minor mythological figure.
