About this deal

The team experimented with several different approaches for Atreus to ensure he was an empowering presence. For the first time in the series, there are two protagonists: Kratos, the former Greek God of War who remains the only playable character, and his young son, Atreus.

Unlike previous games, which were loosely based on Greek mythology, this installment is loosely inspired by Norse mythology, with the majority of it set in ancient Scandinavia in the realm of Midgard. By May 2019, the game had sold over 10 million units worldwide, making it the best-selling game in the series. Tonally, the game shifts from gentle, funny, and often heartfelt family bonding moments to the brutal fighting the God of War series is known for. Earlier this year, God of War made me fall back in love with video games for that very reason, showing me a prime example of the potential they have to deliver a truly moving experience. When it was decided that God of War would be revealed at E3 2016, Sony wanted McCreary to perform his original score with a live orchestra at the press conference.

After God of War was revealed at E3 2016, it drew comparisons to Naughty Dog's The Last of Us (2013), a game that also featured a father-child type story and gameplay. Written by Chris Roberson with art by Tony Parker, the miniseries takes place shortly before the events of the game.

Following God of War 's announcement in mid-2016, Barlog confirmed that it would not be Kratos' last game. It is considered an example of video games as an art form, was named Game of the Year by numerous media outlets and award shows, and has been cited as among the greatest video games ever made. Although he enjoyed these features, Faulkner noted some players may dislike that God of War has a lack of player agency, and players have to explore the majority of the game on foot or by boat since the fast-travel feature is unlocked late in the game. And when the marketing machine started ramping up ads for it, I passively resigned that I might try it out later on down the road if it went on sale.He also enjoyed how the combat system gradually unfolded through the course of the game; although seemingly restrictive at first, he noted players will be rapidly alternating between weapons and skills. He spent several months working with Barlog, Scaturro, Leary, Sony music director Chuck Doud, and the rest of the development team to make this new theme.

Unlike the traditional reboot though, this game fully embraces its position after the events of the original trilogy, allowing it to take the story to new places rather than to rehash what veterans of the series had already experienced.

Hurley said his only criticism was that, "You can occasionally find yourself unsure if you're doing something wrong, or don't have the right equipment yet. An intimate chronicle of the years-long odyssey to bring Kratos and Atreus's beautiful and brutal world to life. The game is a showcase for current-generation game animation, texturing, and audio design, and profits from a strong art direction that focuses on story as well as on combat, on strong character development as well as on tight combos. There are also a large number of optional side quests players can embark on to see more of the world this game has to offer.
