“Fate only binds you if you let it. Do what is necessary, not because it is written”

God of War Ragnarok was a game I’ve been waiting for since the post credit scene to the 2018 game, and safe to say that it did not disappoint.

The game is pretty big improvement over 2018, gameplay feels a lot snappier and more responsive, and having both the Levaithan Axe and Blades of Chaos pretty much from the start makes this more apparent.

The story in this game is absolutely amazing, pretty much a blast from start to finish, and in my eyes the standout character in this game is the leading man him self, the God of War. Kratos in the game is an absolute standout, as the game highlights his relationship with his son, his morals, and his ideals. This game has put him up there among some of my favorite main characters of all time.

The only issues I have with this game are probably some of the puzzles being needless annoying and the rushed endgame.

In short, easily my GOTY for 2022.

“Greatness from small beginnings”

Replaying through the first 3 games was definitely the right move before I jumped into this one, as I reminded me why I fell in love with this franchise around 5 years ago

This game is pretty much the pinnacle of it as well, having some of the best side characters, combat, music, and probably the best mainline antagonist, just barley beating out 2’s. Nathan Drake is one of my favorite main characters of all time, the first 3 games made me fall in love with his character, but 4 made me understand why I did, he’s quick witted, smart, stubborn, but willing to go to hell and back for his loved ones, and that is all incredibly apparent in this game

All in all, Uncharted stands as one of my favorites pieces of literally anything ever created, and 4 is a great reminder to why I love this series with all my heart
