God of War
God of War: Ragnarok is landing on PC very soon, which means now’s a pretty appropriate time to check out the game that kicked off Kratos’ Nordic rampage. Back in 2018, God of War shook things up thanks to its tonal differences from the games that came before it, a drastic shift in gameplay, and a new pantheon of gods to face off against. It retains the series’ longstanding emphasis on scale, but distilled it into setpieces with a sharper focus than that of its predecessors. It also kickstarted the rehabilitation of Kratos, one of gaming’s foremost toxic assholes—where you come down on the success of that is entirely up to you. I aint here to yuck anyone’s yums. I am here to tell you that God of War is $20 on Steam, Humble, and GOG, so do with that what you will, boy.
