One of my favorite stories in gaming,I'm so glad I played God Of War (2018).Kratos as a character is godlike,he has so many layers to him and he is a heavily developed character that over the years has been carefully crafted to become this complex God.I never played the Greek mythology games but I would want to in the future.I know in those Greek games Kratos was an absolute madman and never hesitated to decapitate or burn someone who stood in his way with one of the most iconic weapons in gaming history,the Blades Of Chaos.The Leviathan Axe is also iconic,I will never forget a core gaming memory of mine where I threw the axe and it magically came back to your hands no matter where you flung it.This game is pure magic exploring the majestic looking world of Norse mythology,Kratos has caused so much destruction to the Greek world that he had to move realms 😅
Kratos is not alone in this game,he has a new family in this realm and his son Atreus is also playable albeit in a small way where he can distract enemies with his archery skills.Kratos & Atreus are a father son duo unlike any other,to see their relationship blossom but also disintegrate multiple times throughout the game was a magical sight to behold for the first time.You see Kratos as a careful and cautious individual who wants the best for his son,training him to hunt and when to properly engage in combat,he's not the short tempered hot headed God he was in the original games.
The combat is fantastic,Kratos uses his magically ice powered axe handed down to him by his late wife to behead,freeze and absolutely obliterate any enemy that stands in his way.Kratos also gains a new weapon about 2/3 into the game that will surely ignite a God Of War fan's excitement.The game also has a couple puzzle and platforming sections that remind me of the Zelda series of games which I'm also a big fan of.The score is epic,every music piece fitting accordingly to the situation.It feels like I'm ascending to heaven whenever I hear the soundtrack,sounds like it was composed by God's themselves.Even when traversing through the world there's always banter going about between the characters as well as when you're traveling by boat,Mimir will tell old stories and expand upon the lore of the lands.There's really never a dull moment in this game,one of my favorite masterpieces of all time.Everyone should play this
