I still think about Mimir's line when he tells Kratos that Atreus will walk his own path, no matter what Kratos wants, and if "you don't want him walking away from you, smarten up and walk with him a while." As a father of a son barreling through his tweens at a breakneck pace, I think about that line more and more. It's a good one and has stuck with me.

With God of War, I come for Kratos and Kratos alone. His development across all the games is truly incredible to witness as a player. Having played every GoW title (minus the mobile game) this story was incredible. The only redeeming factor to the laborious sections with Atreus is to imagine the impact that is having on Kratos behind the scenes. The Ironwood section is a particular highlight in that Atreus is missing for a few days without Kratos knowing where he is. Just imagine the mind fuck that would be having on Kratos and it makes sections like that more impactful. If you haven't played the previous games and experienced Kratos's full story, I couldn't recommend them higher! The appreciation, sympathy and empathy you have for Kratos in this part of his story is unmatched as a result.

I love this game for primarily for the story. It felt like the reckoning between father and son I never really got with my dad. As fathers we love our kids to a depth that we maybe never thought possible. Through their presence, we’re made aware of our past mistakes and current short-comings. We worry that we’re not good enough to guide them through this difficult life and yet will likely never give up on that process. I, personally, have said or done a lot of things out of anger in an attempt to ‘help’ my children. But some blunt words from my teen son and some compassionate ones from my wife helped me realize my anger comes from anxiety over their future and I worry about their future because I love them. It’s still a work in progress but speaking from that love goes over much better than anger.

A point in the game that will always be a breaking point in terms of “unnecessary padding that moves the story nowhere”: The search for the Norns. Kratos EXPLICITLY goes in search for the Norns because they know everything, and thus they can tell him how to get to Asgard. So you riiiide the sled to one part of the map. Fight some enemies, wrong direction. So you riiiiide the sled to another part of the map. Fight some enemies, wrong direction again. So you riiiiide the sled to another part of the map, where they make you fight enemies , fight some enemies, and fight some enemies all they while call you a bad person. Finally you make it to the Norns, to which they say “You’re a bad person, also go make a weapon to kill Heimdall” and Kratos just… accepts that answer and leaves. YOU WENT SEARCHING FOR THEM FOR A WAY TO ASGARD. YOU NEVER EVEN ASKED THEM.

If you look in the diary you can see they use magic and he was already forgetting the conversation just as he leaves. That scene shows how Kratos is unable to change and this could be his downfall,they went looking for one thing but the moment they said Atreus was in danger he completely changed his objective to killing another God. It takes too long but this scene is really important to the story.

He was never searching for a way into Asgard? He claimed to want to know where Atreus is (he wasn't even sure he was in Asgard at this point), but, as implied by everyone, including the norns, he wanted to know about his fate. In addition to that, him storming out of the room without thinking is exactly the kind of character behavior the scene needed? The norns were claiming to know how they act because they're unchanging archetypes, and his archetype is to deal with all his problems with violence, specially when it comes to his loved ones. Storming out of the room to go forge a weapon is exactly what this archetype asks for. It's a return to form for him. Though I do agree the search for the norns itself is also a return to form to the older game. I found this game to be a lot more free of "the princess is in another castle" moments, but going to 3 different places before finding them just felt like meaningless busywork, or, if you will, "unnecessary padding that moves the story nowhere". The idea of going to them, and the scene itself, I liked, but all that dumb following the wolves to 3 separate unrelated combat arenas, sheesh.

It's a bit subjective also. I personally preferred the shields in this game and had an absolute blast parrying enemies into the middle of next week. Also on the enemy difficulty side, not only did I enjoy fighting enemies 1 level above me for extra challenge, but I personally thought that GoW 2018 was way worse in terms of exploring and running into enemies that would mop the floor with you. Like, real talk, I only had to avoid something like 3-4 fights until I was higher level, on Show Me No Mercy, and not because they were impossible, just they would have been too frustrating. But in the first one, I was constantly running in enemies that were 2-3 levels above me.

In boss fights and cutscenes you'd be flying and jumping miles through the air etc, but 10 minutes later you'd be figuring out how to switch a lever to reach a platform 2 meters in the air, or using a boat to go across a short river. Thats not to say I didnt enjoy the puzzles, I just think it was a bit inconsistent and long winded, and I just wished Kratos could jump over a few sections lol

I finished my ps5 version just the other day. Not sure if the pc version is exactly the same, but i agree with most points. It's bloated, actual ragnarok is like 20 min. after 40+ hours of hyping, many plot points were just a filler, like Ironwood. Difficulties actually do increase enemy health, and more importantly, their stun meter. Couldn't stun any enemy on "give me gow", then decreased it and was surprised of how easy glory kills were now. I gotta say, i disliked higher difficulties, they ruin the atmosphere and setting. On normal, you're unstoppable destruction machine, which you are supposed to be, and any higher - you're a sore loser who dies when swamp toads tickle you twice. Regular mobs are way more dangerous than bosses, they always attack from your back or sides with no hesitation, attack warnings are kinda useless since they show the intention of an attack that can either follow instantly or after 5 secs. I also disliked how hard they tried to make Odin to look like a singular Evil™, very cringe. But overall, a fine game, despite it flaws.

I loved the first GOW from 2018 (2022 on PC) but this one was not nearly as good and honestly a chore to get through. The worst part was the lack of plot in so many chapters that was instead replaced by constant use of the age-old romantic comedy trope that was hated 30 years ago already: characters don't talk to each other because the plot says so. If they described what was happening for 5 seconds that would've been the entire plot, but instead of that 5 second explanation we get dozens of hours of "No time to explain, just trust me!...Why don't you trust me?"

When the credits rolled I was like "Wait that's it?" Santa Monica should've make this game called "Fimbulwinter" and by the end of it the Rangarok should've happened and the third game would be entirely about it.

Asgard had allot of fake depth which was cool at first but after the game its obvious atreus didnt spend enough time there. My biggest complaint is rhe fucking climbing my god i hate this kind of "platforming" it requires no skill which is a bad thing because that makes it boring. There is no room for player expression if you look at gameplay everyone will climb the same way. Even uncharted lets you jump without context but y i digress. This type of platforming needs to die. Imagine if moving around felt fun not like a chore.

Avoiding specifics for spoilers, I gave them both a 2/4.

I just don't understand why they had to pad put the game so much considering that the game is already very long for a single player game.

imo ragnarok has the better story. i guess people were expecting the action and spectacle from the first one but ragnarok has a lot more small moments that really got me.

That you can bypass it with a mod is kinda telling how little it actually has to do with the game. And also obliterates any claims of it being copy protection or anything.

the main problem i had with this game and with the first one is that it doesnt feel like i am playing a god. and the war at the end felt underwhelming.

Thanks for the video. Congrats on the dad feels. I'm probably wrong with this take, but "open world" just feels like a gimmick with titles like these. It's not really open, more of just backtracking with a different paint. I can't feel that I'm still on rails, and with the emphasis on spectacle... I guess it's just pokemon snap vibes. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

The lack of new weapons is a disaster. 4 years between the 2 games and the only new weapon is a spear, we're not even allowed to have Thor's hammer which was teased in the first game and is also in the game's collector's box. 4 years for worse gameplay and only one new weapon, not even air combat or anything...

Yeah, I got to the point where I just wanted to see the story and even contemplated lowering the difficulty. It felt like you had no agency and were just reacting to events and being forced to go to location XYZ. And the damn chests, can't go 5 meters without getting to one, waste of time. I just stuck with first armor I equipped and kept upgrading that one, there was no reason to try anything else.

And for a lot of people who just plain can't because PSN doesn't exist in their country so Steam doesn't even offer it to them. (It's only offered in somewhere shy of 30 countries IIRC. Out of nearly 200.) I'm not convinced this is an economically sensible move for Sony.

Yup 2nd atreus part was way too long. The constant companion puzzle comments were also extremely annoying. And for me personally the combat didn't feel satisfying. I kept wishing my light attack was faster. Less button combos tactical feel more just timing based stuff. Cause you're playing freaking kratos. Idk probably just me.

Loved the first one. Didn’t care for Ragnarok. All the traversal puzzles just became so annoying and interrupted the flow of the game. It annoyed me so much I stopped playing it. Idk it just seemed like a more padded out , not as fun version of the first game.

I'd be willing to bet the only thinking behind the give me God of War difficulty setting is "we gotta do something for the 'GaMeRs' who need it to brag online or via achievements on their console profile." That's it. A thing for dumbass bragging rights. Same reason Fromsoft won't put in difficulty setting at all. It's hardcore.

It was meant to be a TRILOGY it's why it's so long. They smashed the last 2 games together as the actor playing Arteus was growing up so fast and how long the games take to make.
