How do you thaw a warrior's cold exterior? Well, God of War 2018 seems to think you do that by pairing him up with a plucky son and the disembodied head of a sage, and it turns out they weren't wrong.
God of War's story compels as much as its combat challenges. Throughout its thirty or so hours, you come to understand that Kratos' often brow-raising pessimism seems justified in a world of fickle and cruel gods. His son Atreus serves as a perfect complement. He is curious to their team's fault and benefit, given the situation. Though I did not take easily to God of War's frenetic and sometimes desperate combat, I was driven onward, propelled by the need to know if this father and son could overcome the challenges both before and betwixt them.
