Wtf was this game.

@@smithjones2442 "and the antagonists were a joke" i too would have loved if Kratos needed to go full out on Thor and Odin, perhaps after the win he could still grant mercy too Thor. Thor should have been stronger than this. More destruction during there fight.
This part got me just as hyped as when I first saw the ending of God of War II! 2007: "ZEUS!!! Your son has returned! I bring the destruction of Olympus!!" 2022: "Ready yourselves."
It’s stated in the first game that the prophecy of Ragnarok didn’t take into account Kratos & because of that fimblewinter arrived 100 years earlier than it was supposed to. Had Kratos not existed or not intervened, I like to believe Tÿr eventually escaped his cell & would later unite an army against Odin & his forces & be the God of War that was prophesied in Groa’s prophecy

I love the way Santa Monica completely subverted expectations with Kratos. In the first game the prophecy showed him dying by thors hand. We also see the camera pan over to atreus when Kratos talks about sacrificing everything, and he looks at them. They had all the foreshadowing set up and everything just to pull an uno reverse. And they did such a good job too that it wasn't dumb and it didn't feel out of place. Truly a well crafted story, with some of the best acting I've ever seen captured

I just love that with the whole General, Sir thing. Freyr chiming with the whole "hey bud" reminded me of Robot Chicken when Palpatine had to use the escalator. I laughed when I heard Freyr say that.
8:45 a part of me wants to imagine how funny it'd be if after Kratos looked back at the portal/gate someone edits the cutscene to have mimir say "BROTHER LOOK OUT!" and Baldur comes out of nowhere slamming Kratos into the wall saying "Did ya miss me?" Like he did at the top of the mountain in midgard
The was Sigruns voice changes when she names Mimir, damn, I thought they "had" a thing, didn't know they still HAVE a thing. And then she comes out of her tent with him.
it's too bad that the battle itself a little bit disappointing but it make sense since we only control Kratos and Atreus, also the battle had a bad start since Odin knows about the battle plan before Kratos launch the assault.
It's somewhat poetic that the game prepared the troops in Tyr's temple with epic music, then shifted to a desperate situation with a gloomy tone when we set foot in Asgard.
Hey guys how do I get back to the realm shop before you begin the war I forgot to upgrade my weapons before entering the realm to start the war please help
Funny coz Odin's action to prevent Ragnarok by trying to control the 9 realms led to his downfall. If he only tries what Tyr tried and be better, Ragnarok would be averted. He only wants to pursue knowledge by uncovering the mystery of the realm.
And from that point forward, throughout the rest of time, whenever men rode forth to battle, for good cause or for evil, they did so under the watchful eye of the man who had defeated a god. They were driven forward by Kratos, the mortal who had become the new... *God of War.*
That night Kratos killed his family, Ares just wanted to make him a great warrior. After killing the king of gods of 2 pantheons, Ares must truly be proud.
Anyone who watch Game of Throne. Do you guys get the same goose bump when Kratos said "I will be your general" as Oberyn said "I will be Champion" Shit is sick!!!
Freyr : "hey bud-" he really god who always high, love him prophecy really come true, God of War really start the Ragnarok, tho not Norse's God of War.
I love how Atreus just says “Sir” this is just any other day for him. For him, Kratos has been his father/general his whole life.
In the german voice over, Atreus is the only one not reffering to him as "Sir" or "General". He still called him "Father" while entering the room, which I thought added more emotional value to their bond.
