A little side note: The way hes treating his son is actually WAY nicer than he has been treated...as a boy. He was raised a Spartan...which is very similar to how a witcher is started.
@@myvalorantclips8703 That's where people get a lot of things wrong, they blame. It's good to take accountability, and telling them that is good, but don't let it turn into blame or hatred. They're a product of their parenting, and most parents are trying their absolute best to be something that they were never really taught to be, they're as clueless as their parents were, and as clueless as their kids will be when they have their own. It's all a guessing game, and unless you have some really awful parents, they shouldn't be blamed.
They should start with ascension first then chain of Olympus God of war I Ghost of Sparta God of war 2 then got over 3 then they are completely caught up the story
To be fair, playing this game not knowing hits different too. If you played the old games, you see the story through the eyes of Kratos. But if you didn't, you'll relate a lot more to Atreus. This is a great game to get introduced to God of War because while it still has Kratos as a protagonist, mostly everything else is new and introduced for the first time. If you didn't know Kratos before, you'll learn more about him alongside Atreus. If you did, you'll find out what happened to him since God of War 3 and how the events of the older titles has impacted him in after the dust settled.
@@TheKrislaf Yeah, it's really crazy how both of these ways to experience the story lend themselves to a very different but equally valid experience. Though even then it's probably worth going back to watch the old story after this one, there'll be a lot of "Oh yeah that makes a lot more sense now" moments there.
The game was created to be a single shot start to finish. Load screens are hidden behind walking through portals etc. This game won a ton of awards but at the Game Awards it was nominated/won: Game of the Year Best Game Direction Nominated: Best Narrative Best Art Direction Best Score Best Audio Design Best Performance Best Action/Adventure Game Most Anticipated Game
@44:35 I do love the “close your heart to it” advice since the world it’s not a friendly place. Not saying that Atreus shouldn’t feel what he is feeling, but he shouldn’t dwell on it if he wants to continue the journey… it only makes it harder.
@@TenDoses89GOW has amazing lore, it’s quite literally one of the greatest stories when it comes to games that has nothing to do with age, just preference
In the previous parts, "blood from the eyes" from the graphics. It's enough just to get acquainted with the plot using Wikipedia. I tried to play the third part - it didn't work out, so I just read Kratos' story before I started playing this restart.
29:05 That and everything regarding Ares is explained in the previous GoW games which I recommend watching (maybe even before these ones since that story becomes more important later on).
the reason Kratos calls Atreus "BOY" so much is because when they were making the game, they hadn't completely set on a name for is character. It gets better throughout the duology of games
For reference these Games GoW (2018) and GoW: Ragnarök are continuations from the Greek Saga which covered 5 Games. The Norse Saga happens much later but I highly recommend you guys at least watch a backstory video to cover key highlights of Kratos’ story from his time in Greece before his time now in Norway Also fun fact: All mythologies and religions exist in the GoW universe. Simply the territory of mythologies and the gods from each culture only exist as far as the people they are from so Greek Gods rule Greece, Norse Gods Rule Norway, Celtic Gods rule the United Kingdom, Egyptian Gods rule Egypt etc
Christopher Judge, the new voice actor and motion capture actor, has an extensive career in the entertainment industry. I think he started as a football player, appeared in MacGyver with Richard Dean Anderson with whom he reunited with for Stargate SG-1. Voiced Magneto in X-Men: Evolution and Coach (what's his name) in the CGI Action Man series. Some other stuff then this!
I was never good at playing video games but I loved watching cut scenes from God of War, so I had this system, where my little brother would play it and I would watch his play through. I often made us popcorn or curry to enjoy while he played so it was great trade off.
@@chand911 kidding me bruh ? god of war 1 2 3 most important part of kratos life greek pantheon merged together make a great cutscene movie plus if you include ghost of sparta , chains of olympus and ascension which are great too
As much as i adore this story/game, it's really diminished when you havent seen the stories before. This is like the 6th game in the series, you guys missed so much
It’s not diminished at all, though, if anything they wouldn’t have to do anything but read a summary of who kratos was before this. The story of this game doesn’t seem incomplete or unfinished when experienced on its own, which I’m sure was intentional
@@jaysax7381the impact is 10 times harder if you know and experience Kratos's story. Because it's the change in his character that makes the story great. The reason why Ragnarok's story got mixed reviews was partially because it almost completely threw the past out of the window.
I disagree. This was the first of the series that I played, but even after going back to the older ones I don't feel like my playthrough of this one was diminished at all. It fully works as a standalone story.
@@brewdaly1873 not diminished. But enhanced. It's good for people who never played but it's amazingly great for people who have played. Especially stuff like when the boy got sick. Athena talking to him etc.
Tons of games are like movies. That's why people love games. Uncharted series "Sleeping Dogs "God of War series "Batman and Spider-Man and Metal Gear Solid series are my favorites. Great video video ladies 🙌
One thing i appreciated in this game was the fact that the entire game is just a shifting camera with different angles. No cutscenes. No fade to black, fade to white, it's all done with one camera that just shifts to various angles.
finally one of the best playstation games. To understand kratos you need to know his older game stories. He is a legendary god of war, with a deep in depth story. The only difference in this generation is that he has a son whom he had to guide to make him better than himself
Please go and watch the original God of War 1-3 cutscenes. You would understand so much more about him. Can't wait to see y'all react to the rest of this.
29:12 Don't want to spoil to much information. However, Kratos is an original character from God Of War. He's one of Zeus' children, born out of wedlock. He's not Aries, but has a "certain" connection with him in regards of being the God of War. Long story short, there's a reason why "parted ways" with the Greek Gods and came to this realm of the Norse! One of those reasons is that he did some "maclious" things. He now just wants to start fresh, and live a better life than before with his family. Hope this makes sense! 🙏🏽💪
There is a compilation of God of War story lore GOW 1,2 and 3...if you want to know why kratos is the way he is... also I've waited a long time to watch your reaction to GOW and Kristen is just perfect to watch it with.❤🎉😊
I’ve been looking forward to this playthrough viewing. I adore this story, and maybe my favorite game story. The entire game is a long one-shot. Would have been cool to have seen you both watch a summary of the previous three games. It really pays off knowing Kratos’ history before this. Seeing what he went through. Kratos started as a demigod but was elevated to full god by Athena when he became the God of War, after he killed Ares.
As an indian following the og channel from the beginning this was one video that brought me to this side because of how great the story telling is in this
Check out Eivor. She’s the one that does the vocals and singing for the soundtrack for this game and the next, also for show the Last Kingdom. She’s criminally underrated despite how magical and talented she and her music is. Song like Falling Free (live Old theater Torshavn) and Wake me up (live) and of course Trøllabundin, will have you feeling things you never imagined. I love this reactions and can’t wait to witness you guys do more, specially the second game.
35:53 Did you see the change in the way Kratos walked here, form hurt to "everything is fine"? I guess to not show his own vulnerability in front of Atreus.
There's a 3 hour video called "God of War Greek Saga from Beginning to End" that gives a recap of all of the previous games, you might want to check it out for more contex ton Kratos' background.
You guys should definitely react to Red Dead Redemption 2's cutscene. It didn't win game of the year against GOW because it came out pretty late in the year but it is one of the most detailed games and one of the best stories I have seen. Arthur Morgan is just legendary in terms of writing.
I dont think rdr2 would be good to watch cutscenes. Its an amazing game dont get me wrong, but you get so much context for Arthur in side parts of the game
At 9:50 (and a little before when Kratos enter in his house) they mixed the song of this game and the old trilogy when he was in Greece. 17:10 : I love how Atrieus mimic his father and take the same pose and trying to said something to him but can't.Then it's at the turn of Kratos to wanted to say something to him but can't too.
Fortunately this game has several difficulty settings. If you want more of a casual playthrough it's fairly easy. If you want a challenge and are masochistic like me you can play it on Give Me God of War. Either way, this game and it's sequel are absolutely worth playing.
It's funny to me that you don't know his past story, from the previous games. And in this game it looks like he's being stoic and acting hard-core cause of his wife's death. But if you know his past... it's a whooole different story :D Great videos btw
People don't realize this game was shot in one go, there's no cutscenes or cinematics, there's no loading screens or interruption. Just pure game. Everything is POV.
This is like the 7th game This is god of war 4. Some of the things they are talking about you Will not understand the meaning...you should maybe try and watch the first 3 at least
Also, I find it odd when atreyus is lighting up the candles offering the final prayer for his mother. The writing staff kind of abridged the last rights to the Nordic afterlife. The full version.(roughly as I remember it) "Lo there do I see my mother. Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my sister's and my brothers. Lo do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. Lo they call to me/you, they bid me/you take place among them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever "
Wonder if due to all the comments if they're gonna react to a short recap video about Kratos. Even if they take a detour here it will massively come in handy for the overall appreciation for this story. Does anyone know the title of a good one for them to watch? Ive never watched any because i remembered the other games pretty well or watched reviews for the ones i couldn't play 😂
This one is practically a new beginning, with new characters yet to be developed, and they contextualize Kratos' past well, so I really think their reactions will be more fun due to the mystery of what Kratos did
The writers did a decent job of bringing people into the emotional journey of these characters in this games story. But, that being said you will be doing yourself a massive disservice if you haven't watched the History of Kratos here on UA-cam before you react to GOW 4 & 5. The character development hits much MUCH harder if you do!
You wanna see great games being played. Hollow has a phenomenal UA-cam channel ladies. I'm great at games,so I need to watch games played well. Yeah this was game of the year. Every "God of War was,expect for "Ragnorok which was also phenomenal. 👍
Kratos was a Spartan captain I think in the legendary Spartan army who made a deal with Aries for power and in return do his (Aries) bidding, long story short he killed his wife and kid accidentally through some kind of mental breakdown an all that. They're ashes where placed on his body for eternity as a reminder of what he did... Now this story is his rebellion against the gods, Aries, Zeus, Thor, the list goes on
Oh my god this was so unexpected!! 😍 As I'm sure everyone else has said, it would have been great if you started out with the original games to get all the context, but you could also react to them after this and Ragnarok. Some gamers that played these games did the same thing in order to get the backstory.
A little side note: The way hes treating his son is actually WAY nicer than he has been treated...as a boy. He was raised a Spartan...which is very similar to how a witcher is started.
Atreus: why do you treat me this way!?
Kratos: Back in my day…
latterly 🤣🤣@@_SSCJ
But with more pederasty.
with that being said we should stop blaming our dads please
@@myvalorantclips8703 That's where people get a lot of things wrong, they blame. It's good to take accountability, and telling them that is good, but don't let it turn into blame or hatred.

@@gregmurdoch3809 In 2018, yes. But Christopher Judge got nominated again when God of War Ragnarok came last year and won the second time.

@@TenDoses89mad for what?

Baldur vs Kratos is like when a boxer meets an MMA fighter
I would probably watch a quick video about Kratos before this. You dont absolutely need it but it does enhance the story
This is a really good cinematic cut
Why would you start with god of war 2018…..it’s like starting on ep 7 of Star Wars without knowing anything about Star Wars
This one is practically a new beginning, with new characters yet to be developed, and they contextualize Kratos' past well, so I really think their reactions will be more fun due to the mystery of what Kratos did
@@guywhorns this and ragnarok hit wayyy harder in the feels knowing what kratos has gone through since the very first game.

It’s so weird going back and realizing that baldur was not referring to kratos Greek past as his “people” he thought kratos was a jotun/frost giant
Unless you played the original god of war games...you will never fully appreciate the greatness that is this game.....
He’s full god of war from Greece. He traveled far from his birthplace after the events of god of war 3
Kratos is technically a Demi god who killed the original god of war in the first game and took his place becoming and unlocking his full god potential
Better story than most movies. You guys should continue with God of War Ragnarok after this

did they really just decide to watch the 4th game without even reading a little bit about what happened before?
Finally! God of war is....as martin scorsese would say Cinema. Absolute cinema.
40:20
Atreus: I think there's a chest over there.
Kratos: HUH!!!
😆😆😆 I died!
You wanna see great games being played. Hollow has a phenomenal UA-cam channel ladies. I'm great at games,so I need to watch games played well. Yeah this was game of the year. Every "God of War was,expect for "Ragnorok which was also phenomenal. 👍
Hollow is one of my favourite UA-camrs to watch.
40:20 had me dying laughing
God of war 1-3 Will away be my favorite
Evwryone in the chatbox is in agreement 😂😂😂please pause and go back in time
You guys need to see the GodbofWar full story recap. Kratos (The Father) went through entire Greek mythology
Bro murdered entire Greek gods for calliope now he cleared Norse gods for atreaus
Oh Hell Yes!!! I've been asking for this
Kratos was a Spartan captain I think in the legendary Spartan army who made a deal with Aries for power and in return do his (Aries) bidding, long story short he killed his wife and kid accidentally through some kind of mental breakdown an all that. They're ashes where placed on his body for eternity as a reminder of what he did... Now this story is his rebellion against the gods, Aries, Zeus, Thor, the list goes on
The scar on his stomach/abs is where he was impaled by his father Zeus with this blade and then kratos died and literally crawled back out of hell
Oh my god this was so unexpected!! 😍 As I'm sure everyone else has said, it would have been great if you started out with the original games to get all the context, but you could also react to them after this and Ragnarok. Some gamers that played these games did the same thing in order to get the backstory.
yep! It did win Game of the Year and won best actor too!
I love this game can't wait to see the rest of your reaction to it
what a pleasant surprise
