God of War (2018)

God of War (2018) is a stunning reinvention of the iconic action series that trades Greek mythology for the harsh, unforgiving world of Norse lore. You step into the well-worn sandals of Kratos, the former Ghost of Sparta, who has settled down in the frozen north with his young son Atreus.

But their simple life is shattered when a dangerous new threat emerges, forcing father and son to embark on an epic adventure across the nine realms. Combat is just as brutally satisfying as ever, with Kratos’ new Leviathan Axe providing a fresh take on the series’ signature combo-based carnage. Hurl it at foes, then magically recall it to your hand for dizzying combos.

What really sets God of War apart is the emotional core of Kratos and Atreus’ relationship. As they journey together, you’ll witness the once-uncompromising Spartan struggle to open up, control his rage, and become the father his son deserves. Their banter is heartwarming yet fraught with tension, grounding the grand mythological stakes.

With its stunningly realized world, stellar performances, and a deft blend of heart-wrenching narrative and visceral action, God of War is a masterclass of reinvention. Sony’s iconic antihero has been reborn in this must-play PlayStation exclusive.
