About the game:
God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released worldwide on November 9, 2022, for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, marking the first cross-gen release in the God of War series, and is set to be released for Windows on September 19, 2024. It is the ninth installment in the series, the ninth chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game is set in ancient Scandinavia and features series protagonist, Kratos, and his now teenage son, Atreus. Concluding the Norse era of the series, the game covers Ragnarök, the eschatological event which is central to Norse mythology and was foretold to happen in the previous game after Kratos killed the Aesir god Baldur.

In portuguese "Dooku" can be readed as "Do cu" that us basically "of ass".

Lmao please! Thor laughed it off. It's only kratos fanbois who lowball everyone who isn't kratos
@@cringekiller348and ur just a Thor fanboy 🤣🤣. Be better BOY!
@@bigde131Looks like his comment hit a nerve.
A great detail is that in the beginning of the previous game Kratos accompanied Atreus in the hunt for deer. This game starts with Atreus bringing back a deer on his own, showing that he became more of a warrior
Grown boy :')
Trying to make Atreus cool but failed
@@noincomprehensible3849 Dont think that's the point. It was just to show he's grown up and more independent

Thank you for all of your love and support throughout this journey, let's start this one off with a bang! 💙
EDIT: Part 2 now live ua-cam.com/video/z6r3YOM6lBI/v-deo.html
I am so excited for this you have no idea
FINALLY!!!❤
this is about to be trip and a half you already know
You look like an anime character with that band in your nose Mati 😆 Gladd you're doing better bro ❤
@@DWN-024ShadowMan This made me feel better about it 🤣 Appreciate you bro!
Sad story time:
My dog got really sick and stopped eating a few days before this game was released, so I didn't play on release day, as I was quite distracted. We had to put him down the day after release, and I started this game less than an hour after burying him. Suffice it to say I needed a break after that opening scene with Fenrir. First time I ever cried at a video game, but it wasn't the only time this game got the waterworks going for me. The raw emotion packed into the cutscenes of this game is just one of the many things that makes this game so special to me.
So sorry for you loss brother, it's beautiful what these "games" can do to us. Wish you all the best
I lost my best friend last July my border collie still miss him every day
When Kratos rejects Odin's proposal for peace with a simple "No." It's by far his most badass line in the whole saga.
Man waltzs into another pantheons realm, tears shit up, makes the gods of that realm so terrified of him they're willing to forgive him murdering multiple members of their family just so he doesn't even interact with them. And he declines. Out of principle too. His loyalty to Freya, despite her actively trying to kill them both. Man is completely unshakable in his resolve and his principles.
Nah not even close. It doesn’t even make any sense. Odin offers everything Kratos wants and declines. It’s fucking stupid.
@@iSlaughteredGodIt's not stupid at all. It just shows that if you were in that position you would've been yet another victim of Odin's manipulation.
Every time Odin opens his mouth he lies. And if he isn't straight up lying he's still hiding his true purpose. On top of that Kratos mentions that going against a friend and teaming with her former house husband is unacceptable.
@@iSlaughteredGodlmao no. Kratos just had a 5 game spanning epic about not taking ANY deals from gods, especially the lying trickster king of gods. He learns from his mistakes
Btw that is not Yggdrasil. That is a frozen lightning bolt that happened when both their weapons clashed
I'm surprised how many people I've seen play this game that didn't put that 2 and 2 together. So many didn't get it the first time.
I think faye and thor fought and they made the frozen lighting so thats why i think thor said this seems familiar
9:26 Danielle screaming "KRATOS!!!" will NEVER not give me chills
Bro its freya not "Danielle"😂😂😅
@@Gamer_19558 Danielle is the voice actress u dummy 😅😂😂
@@Gamer_19558 Danielle is her voice actress
"There he is..." is actually a great line.. even greater in my eyes then "Oh No. I say when we're done...!"
I absolutely love the direction they took Odin in this, being more of a mobster than a classical god. He even uses some of the same vernacular and has the same melody in his speech as a gangster boss
Which is not an ideal approach and it made him a joke more than someone that you should fear
@@morepower6800 bro wanted zues copypaste. Trust me, this is much better. Besides, Thor is the one thats fearful
@@morepower6800Nah, maybe not as feared but much more hatable. I never thought he was joke throughout the game, I always got an icky feeling of manipulation with Odin. He isn’t as overtly domineering as Zeus, he’s more cunning in how he controls people which honestly makes a lot of sense considering he’s supposed to be a god of immense wisdom and cleverness
That's how the vikings described him in the sagas. A wise looking old man more shamanic rather than warrior like.
reminds me of hades from Disneys Hercules
The cinematic with Thor and Odin is so well thought out. In GOW 2018 we hear so many stories about what type of person Odin is. His greatest weapon is manipulation. And they do a really great job of showing that. All his mannerisms are all planned. He sends Thor to make sure kratos is a "calm and reasonable person" before showing up himself because he knows Kratos is THE god killer. And from the moment he enters the scene, he tries to manipulate kratos by saying he was acting in self-defense when killing Magni. But I think that by trying to seem sincere, he also shows what a horrible person he is. I mean, he openly says how usless the sons of Thor were IN FRONT OF THEIR FATHER, and he is only upset at Kratos for killing Baldur because he was useful and "his best tracker." Both Magni,modi, and baldur were Odins family with baldur being his son, and he talks about them like objects for his own use. And finally, when Odin realized that kratos can not be manipulated, he tasks Thor with destroying him, and that gives him time to instead manipulate Atreus, who is younger and more pliable to suggest. Also when Mimir said "If he tells you snow is white he's lying" really explained Odin as a character. Their is always a motive behind everything he says, and Mimir should know having spent so much time around him.
(Sorry for nerding out)
I love that. It is the same as how I interpreted the scene too. All of Odin’s mannerisms and how he looks are all deceiving to make his enemies let down their guard. He is the complete opposite of Thor, with Thor being a fighter while Odin is a talker and schemer. Yet despite all of Thor’s strengths, brutality, and the most powerful weapon Mjornir, Odin feels far more dangerous and sinister. He is also trying to get Thor, his own son with the woman he loved, drunk just so that he can have an easier time manipulating him is a testament of his true nature.
Sees frozen bolt of lightning: "That’s gotta be Yggdrasil!" 😅
Classic Mati. I wouldn't change a thing.
The "yggdrisal" you saw was frozen lightning. It happened because of mjolnir and the leviathan axe colliding
RAGNAROK!!!!!!! Can’t wait for this entire series! Keep up the good work!
Can't believe we are here! Always boss
I love that you read through the journal entries on camera.
The only gripe I have about most playthroughs I've watched is that they cut them reading it and just talk about it after, but I love watching you read it because I can watch all of your micro-expressions, and remember what it was like to play this game for the first time!
That helps to understand the story better, but yes, it's a shame they don't read it.
You can already see..what kind of "Dad" Odin is.. We remember how angry Kratos was... all those years ago. And Odin...only talks about "business" and how useful a person is. He spoke of Baldur as an employee. Not like a son. Odin is an imperialist and only cares about himself.
He is like the Palpatine in North Mythology i guess.
"She flew out of that right?" 🤣. She caused that bro
Kratos in 2018: Boy!
Kratos in Ragnarök: Hmm.
THE TIME HAS COME!
YES INDEED
Bro, I said the same thing out loud, lol
Execute. Order. 66.
I love that Odin's personality is basically "Mafia boss played by Jeff Goldblum" in this game.
It's funny cuz Richard Schiff (Odin's actor) was in Lost World Jurassic Park with Jeff Golblum
45:00 Atreus really hit Kratos with “Hesitation is defeat”
Our BOYS have a new adventure ahead of them. I wish you luck, Mati.
Thank you kindly! WE ARE SO BACK
I can’t wait for the ‘Raising Kratos’ reaction. You will appreciate Kratos so much more
Will definitely watch that!
@@matiasgago On video, for the channel, with lotion and tissues.
@@matiasgago W reading btw
@@matiasgagoI’ll be here when you do
Just as I start my lunch break!
Lets gooo!
IT'S TIME!!!! FOR THE MAIN EVENT!!!! So ready for this playthrough Mati.
TELL EM BUFFER!
Watched your Gow journey since the beginning. Your playthrough was easily the most entertaining one I've watched
The beginning with Fenrir hits me the hardest every time. Have a great pyrenees named Fenrir too and I just look at him and know exactly how Atreus feels.
its time for some calm and reasonable gameplay
Let`s gooo.Started watching God of war 1 from pure childhood passion of the game and here now you got me hooked again and watched all of your GOW saga for the past month.Thx bro
Love to hear that man! It's been a wild ride
THATS WHY HES THE GOAT❤ DLC ON THE WAY KING🔥 KEEP BUSSING AWAY MATI 🥵
LMFAOOOO always broo
OH MAN ITS GO TIME. This will forever be my 2022 game of the year. Idk if you've ever watched sons of Anarchy but the same actor that plays Opie Voices Thor in this game
death of your companion animal is so fucking shattering...
Yoooo, let’s go! Personally this is one of my favourite games and you are in for a ride, trust me.
Btw you mentioned a few videos ago about the documentary “raising kratos”, it’s incredibly interesting and definitely worth a watch, wether it’s on the channel or in your own time.
Love to hear that man! I will do it justice
This game genuinely has more emotion in the first 30 seconds than most modern AAA games do in the entire runtime
Both intros made me cry and I don't cry, lol.
Man with the personality of a golden retriever plays one of my favourite games, what else can I ask for
Can’t wait to see you play my favorite game ever gonna be a great ride
Appreciate you being here brother!
One of the funniest parts of Kratos' dream with Faye is that she just hefts up that tree trunk like it's nothing. I think his view of what mortal women could do was skewed, because normal, human women wouldn't be able to pick that up like a feather. That apparently wasn't a sign that she was more than human, but I personally would've been just a little suspicious!
I mean, she literally went toe to toe with Kratos and came to a draw, he really should have expected she wasn't mortal. One of the few things I "humm" at in these games.
To be fair he was in a different land with different rules. He didn't really have a baseline for what was normal there.
@@BaldorfBreakdowns We don't really know how toe to toe she really went although she was a good warrior. And she is still mortal. That said, its not like there weren't similar warriors who could give Kratos a decent fight in the Greek games. And considering the fact that demigods are not that rare in Greece, it was probably pretty normal for Kratos to see another mortal with the strength to pick up a tree. Hercules was one.
@@dylanhopkins5934 That's fair, also the last Spartan you fight in GoW 2 was just a human, and he definitely squares up!
You're in for a ride
I'm reaaady
You are not, but keep thinking this way thats more fun for us :P@@matiasgago
@@dekcraft262You Did Not Like Ragnarok?
I can't wait for your reaction to the opening couple of hours, especially the fourth wall breaking!! This will be great. Thanks Mati
Good luck my man waiting for part 2🤝🏻✨️
That knife was like... YOU TALKIN BOUT ME...WATCH THI SHI
Been refreshing for the past 5 minutes waiting for this and I’m here nice and early I’m ready bro les get it gang 🙌
The early gang wouldn't be the same without you Jid 🤞
LETS GOO, Also, Faye's actress is Deborah Ann Woll from Daredevil, such a beautiful woman.
I had a big smile on my face while plying this game from begging to the end. No other game did that to me.
Yu were not smiling in the ironwood section
@@SICKHYPERi was
@@ogeraldo1388 Great Keep Picking Up Fruits For 2 Hours and get a rushed 30 minutes segment lf ragnarok other than that ragnarok is great
@@SICKHYPERI never felt bored playing the ironwood but it took long time that could be spend on the main story.
I enjoyed that part.
@@justhavefun9455 that’s great I hope they make more gow featuring 2 hour sections 50% Walke Talkies 20% Cutscenes and 30% Action
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PLAYTHROUGH!
LETS GO!
I've never noticed until now how much they make Faye look like Atreus, the clothes, the build, even how she walks and stands - so much detail that I'm only seeing now thanks to your playthrough Mati 🙏🏼
Alsom rando QoL tool they added - in the menu there is an auto pick-up option, might save your butt instead of having to mash X trying to pick up health in a fight, you just gotta run over it, or any other item.
I am so glad the algorithm recommended me your GOW 2018 video, and now you became my favorite creator. Binged all of your GOW play throughs and finally diving into Dark Souls - the type of games I usually don't play, but can't deny their significance in gaming world. Always wanted to know the story, but struggled to find a play through that will keep me interested. Your videos very engaging and your emotions and reactions are pure joy to watch. GOW is one of my favorite franchises, hoping to see more on the channel. I am not the one who comments really, I just wish you luck, take care of your health, and thank you Mati for your hard work! :)
The thing you referred to as Yggdrasil was actually caused when Mjolnir collided with the Leviathan Axe, it was actually a frozen lightning bolt showing the power of each of the weapons
Let’s go I am ready boy!
That's what I like to hear!
Bro I just wanna say thank you for playing the OG games before diving into the Norse games. Another channel I follow are about to start GOW 2018, but they decided to watch the cutscenes of the OG games instead of playing them🤦♂️. So I just wanna say it's been great that you actually went all the way, especially with this being the last one (for now?). I'm super excited!
Happy to hear that man! 💙 We don't cover games we cover franchises hahaha
Lets gooooo! It's calm and reasonable kratos time
Hell yeah
It’s time!!!! 🫡😤🔥
Yessssir!
Man this is peak God of War and I'm here for it
We're back, BOY(s)!
SO BACK
the day has ARRIVED and I could not be more excited
ITS TIMEE FUCK YEAHH, man I've been here since god of war 1, your series is something else truly.. enjoy it Mati you're gonna LOVE this. Nothing beats watching a god of war video uploaded by you after a long gym sesh
Kratos: just wants peace and for Atreus to be safe
Also Kratos: declines peace and to keep Atreus safe
Bro is in for a treat with this one
Bro has never been more ready
I really like that absolute journey. Never got opportunity to play any of this games, but being able to expirience it with different, cool people on internet is really worth it too
Don’t forget to play the DLC too after you finish the main story
LETS FUCKING GO MATI
Lets go !!! I was eagerly waiting for this!
GOW 2018 was amazing, so I was surprised that I ended up liking Ragnarok even more than its predecessor. You're in for a ride!
Man I swear everytime I watch the beginning I tear up 😅 the way the did the opening for this game is honestly one of the most beautiful game openings imo all around
So many playthroughs of this game I skip to certain parts. But not here, not among the Maidenless... with Mati I'm here for every moment. Forge ahead to Ragnarok my friend!
Better than I imagined ❤✨
Btw Mati most people don't know this but the armor he is wearing at the beginning of the game you can fully upgrade it unlike 2018. In this one you don't have to change armor to get stronger
That thing you thought was Ygdrasil was thors lightning frozen by Kratos' axe. Happened when their weapons collided
I think one reason why Kratos declined Odins offer to keep Freya off his back, is because he understands that at that moment, the only way he could do it is by unaliving Freya. Other reason because Mimir said he can't be trusted.
As you can see, Kratos' nightmares and ptsd from his service to Ares hasn't totally gone away, just changed shape
Also I love that Ragnarok doesn't lock any basic combat abilities behind the tutorials
SO LOCKED IN FOR THIS ONE🗣🗣
This is the way!
holy shit its finally happening🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lessss gooo my BOY
LET'S GOOO AMAZING BRO❤💀
This game takes place 3 years after the first game. Fimbulwinter lasts for 3 years.
that scream danielle bisutti did “KRATOSSS” when freya hit the tree branch ! man how fucking powerful that was. it still gives me goosebumps ! absolutely beautiful performance by danielle
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO WE HERE!!!!
IT"S TIME!
The structure created by Mjölnir and Kratos axe during the fight is actually a culimation of the two powers of the weapons. The lightning literally froze solid and remained trapped in ice.
Let’s go BOYYYYYYYSS
For some reason every playthrough I’ve seen of this game, players fail to realize that the “tree” is just a frozen thunderbolt from the axe and Mjölnir clashing
Ragnarök does an absolutely awesome job with leveling up the gameplay of GOW 2018, especially when it comes to the variety and complexity of boss fights. You're in for a treat.
So excited about this one Mati!
A friend of mine borrowed me a physical copy of this game but I only played like 40 mins (after a month lol I was very busy at that time) and I had to give him his game back. So I am clueless about what happens after that so this will be a fresh experience for me as well!
Finally! Let's Goooooo!
You are one of the very few people who check the back when looking for Atreus. Best play through 10/10
Dude you’re gonna love this so much! If Elden ring didn’t exist this would’ve been GOTY.
This game is better than elden ring imo
@@bdan27can’t say the same, gow feels somewhat restricted on gameplay on so many levels compared to elden ring
@@oscarmacias6164 fair enough man. I like the fact that this game restricts you and has some linear gameplay. Thats what I dont like about elden ring, the open world. I prefer all the other souls games.
In Norse Mythology, Ragnarok is the end of days for all the realms. A battle ensues bringing Asgard to ruin, the Gods fight to stop this destructive battle but it proves to be in vain as they die. Midgard is burned to ashes. The other realms sink and burn as well, with the realms Musphelheim and Niflheim returning the universe to chaos. Supposedly Midgard will return, born anew.
Welcome back
Thank you sir!
BOYYY MATI IS PLAYING OUR SECOND JOURNEY❤
Mati: Everyone stay calm.. I repeat stay calm
Thunder enters chat*
Mati: proceeds to not remain calm
39:32 is epic af!!!
It hits hard when you have so much of the games fresh in memory
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Now for this i highly recommend to do the side quests along the story because they are so good.
Absolutely bro!
I’ve been waiting for this ❤❤❤
You can see a lot of differences in this game. First the codex which is written by Kratos (and someparts from Mimir also I think). In the realm between realms if you notice the Ygdrasil tree its more bloomed. And also when Kratos nad Thor were fighting in the third phase that wasnt Ygdrasil. It was frozen lightning from their weapons when they hit its other
Let's fucking go Matti coming in clutch to make Monday better. 💯 hope you have a great time playing ragnarok
Thank you wolf! Loving it so far
Got two dogs, 7 and 4, and every video about the lost of a pet brakes me a little inside, to think that someday, me and wife will have to endure such lost. 14:00
Two quests for the future, find the tooth of Thor, and the Coin of Odin ... and yes they are findable
I bet no one expected the next words after the ending of the last game would be “can I come in”
