    For anyone who hasn't played the original games I just want to say: this is Kratos being nice and calm - more than he's ever been 😆
    I was SHOCKED when he gave the Stranger another warning after being hit in the face.

      When he scolds Atreus for impulsively firing at the deer, I tell people, "You think he's being harsh?! In the previous games, he wiped out entire settlements over less."

    Tip. When an enemy swings,just block. Dodging is cool,but block is just block quickly. Also break everything. Breaking buckets "vases and anything just break it. If you see letters to open a chest just swing and break it. Just finished watching. You're so damn fun and awesome. I can wait for episode 2. 😃👍

    And IF interested a tiny but important hint to ease combat a bit:
    -------------------------------------
    You can lock on to enemies, so you won't lose sight to them while dodging around.
    Just press the right joystick to turn it on and off.
    It's easy to miss the hint for that, the game mentions it once for a few seconds and thats it.

    If you're going to continue with stepping out of your comfort zone, you'd probably love the Yakuza series (starting with Yakuza 0.) I played Yakuza 7 a little bit after beating Rebirth and it completely threw me off finishing my backlog. I planned on playing FFVI for the first time but instead I'm going through each game in the Yakuza series chronologically for the first time.

    In case you want to know about the older God of War games, you can read below. ↓↓
    Long story short: After the old god of war Ares trick Kratos into killing his own family cause the gods fear him, Kratos gains power to kill each of them in return, including his backstabbing father Zeus, and Athena an ally who resented him later.
    Long story: Kratos, a well-known Spartan general from the Greek pantheon, became feared by the gods as he carried a legacy so powerful he could end their reign. So they ended up using Kratos to their advantage. To spare his life in a near death battle, Ares the old god of war made Kratos' Blades of Chaos to forge a deal, Kratos' life for his servitude. But to have nothing stand in his way, Ares tricked Kratos into killing his family during a bloodthirsty rampage Ares had put on Kratos, so Kratos vows revenge against Ares and sought to kill him using Pandora's box power. (God of War 1) And since the gods still disregard him and toss him aside, Kratos regains himself with the help of the gods enemies the Titans to kill Zeus. But he accidentally killed ally turned protective goddess Athena, and after being backstabbed by his father Zeus the king of the gods using the Blade of Olympus, he turns the tide and wages war against the Olympian gods. (God of War 2) Kratos destroys the entire Greek pantheon in the process and kills all the gods and titans there that stood in his way, including Zeus as his finale. Athena in spirit-risen form then resented him for sacrificing himself his god-killing powers 'Hope' to humanity. (God of War 3)
