In ‘God of War Ragnarök’, Kratos has gone from your least favorite nu metal-loving Millennial starting fights at a college bar to a bearded Brooklyn dad who only eats farm-to-table and is super into his kid. Our review.
, the titular god, has spent a lifetime acting out violent delights in service of his own grief for being a bad father . It’s been years since he chose to leave behind his blood soaked past in Greece and move to a foreign land, starting over with renewed purpose: a wife and son. But that illusion is shattered when said wife, a beautiful hay-haired warrior named Faye, dies of causes, leaving him alone to raise their adolescent son, Atreus.
Kratos was the definitive edgelord – an unstoppable Gary Stu whose absolute hard-on for death meant he could kill anyone who stood before him in increasingly gory ways . The series capped at 2010’s, a game so violent it bordered on torture porn. I’ll never forget the image of Kratosfrom its shoulders with a soul-wrenching scream and skin-stretching effects. Obviously, any kind of reinvention of PlayStation’s gore hound mascot would turn heads.
But Kratos isn’t the game’s only bad dad . The writers do a respectable job of covering all the bases clearly mined from their own personal therapy sessions. There’s the God of Thunder, Thor, whose depiction here inspired ire online from people who think peak masculinity can only be defined by Chris Hemsworth’s current ab count.
After a bombastic start teased in the first trailers for the game, in which Kratos and Atreus are visited by an angry Thor at their homestead, things quickly go downhill for the father/son duo. After hastily setting the stakes and using some simple narrative devices to buy everyone some time to start plotting , things kick into gear.
