![]() ![]() It's not exactly a new narrative trick to pair a strong silent type with an inquisitive youngster, but unlike the developing relationship of Joel and Ellie, Atreus and Kratos already have a layered rapport that's steadily peeled back over time. Lifting big rocks wouldn't be near as fun without the back and forth banter with Atreus (or as he's often called, "boy"). For a character that used to mostly show his toughness by killing every living thing in the room, it's nice to see Kratos throw his weight around the world itself. Where Nathan Drake looks for a chain to lift an ancient pulley, Kratos simply throws his axe at the gears so hard that they spin. It's both cool and funny how often Atreus ponders how they're going to cross a gap just as Kratos lifts a beam the size of six cars or spins an entire building like it's a windup toy. I can't honestly say the same for the story because it does play itself out and I'll be real here - I find Kratos honestly played out for being a raging, vengeful and full of testosterone edgy guy that is just going about his way and being a careless asshole.My strongest memories all revolve around one of the greatest weapons in videogames: the Leviathan Axe. ![]() You'll honestly have more of a rewarding time playing all of the God of War games from 2 and on, because they do get better and better by entry. If you cannot get enough of God of War on the other hand and become fascinated with the idea of just taking down one Greek God or Goddess after the next, proceed to continue on from GoW 2 through until 3, including the PSP spinoffs as well. So, if you want to just play the series that'll tell, summarize and complete it's small story arc - just play GOW: Ascension first then GOW 1, then be done with it. However, I'll also allow the assistance of God of War: Ascension because it honestly does a great job in leading into the events of GOW 1. ![]() Ares is the main antagonist of the game, he's the reason Kratos is in the world of pain that he's in and deceived him all this time. God of War 1 resolves itself with the story that it tells. ![]()
