![]() Their relationship feels seasoned in moments when the two subtly glance knowing looks at one another: a hand on the shoulder, for example, that somehow resonates a pride of the God of War’s protégé and offspring. Kratos isn’t so commanding and full of instruction there’s a genuine companionship between the pair of them. Immediately, there’s a sense of closeness between Kratos and Atreus that feels different this time around. He’s more seasoned in combat, and more understanding of his father’s wishes, but, of course, grumpier and rebellious as teenagers tend to be. Atreus is now officially a teenager and with that has grown wiser and far less infuriating to adventure with. Fimbulwinter –great winter as a rough translation– has begun and signposts the impending start of Ragnarok. God of War Ragnarok takes place three years after the events of the first game –of which there’s a handy recap of its events to get you up to speed if you’ve forgotten the storyline over the past, eventful four years. This is far from some bloated mess of an open-world experience Ragnarok is measured, restrained, favoring quality over quantity, and the result is a title that will long live in the echelons of gaming history. Other times I’d put my controller down only to see a faint glimmer of a chest or side activity in the distance and just had to investigate it. And when you venture off the beaten path, there’s a smattering of side quests and collectibles to keep you roaming the Nine Realms for hours outside of the main story.Įvery time I thought I was ready to take a break, a lovable NPC would pop up with some mysterious-sounding quest and off I ventured to grab whatever item it was that they desired. It’s wrapped up in a level of cinematic style and artistic flourishes that make near-every frame something to be marveled at. From the gripping narrative right through to the challenging combat, Ragnarok demands your attention. Ragnarok doesn’t just replicate the success of the first game, it outdoes it in every possible way. Truth be told, I wasn’t even that enamored with the first game, but this second outing has totally captivated me.
