God Of War

The new God of War packs a lot of drama and action

Kratos has been an off-the-rails rage-filled killing machine who finished off the Greek pantheons in the past. But things have changed now. Kratos is done with the old ways and has settled down in the Norse realm with his new family. However, it’s his wife’s demise that sets him and his son, Atreus on a personal journey that is long, treacherous and ridden with monsters.

While the previous God of War games has been more about Kratos’ revenge and the resulting violence, this game focuses on Kratos and Atreus’ relationship as father and son.

Atreus is his mischievous self who fails to exercise caution early on whereas Kratos is seen as a protective father but as we progress through the story, it’s endearing to see both characters warm up to each other and even see Kratos drop fatherly wisdom and share stories during their journey.
