037.0 – GOD OF WAR (2018)

After wiping out the gods of Mount Olympus, Kratos moves on to the frigid lands of Scandinavia, where he and his son must embark on an odyssey across a dangerous world of gods and monsters. IMDb

Today is all about God of War, released in 2018 and after many previous versions of Kratos’ story, for the first time in the series this game is constructed as a narrative full feature film where you can control the protagonist, who is now a father traveling with his son Atreus.

Touching on previous God of War games, narrative driven games, difficulty levels, Yann & Adam’s different approach to gaming, Valkyries, impediments, characterisation and various game things.

This is the podcast version of our episode that was streamed live and is available as an unedited video here on our Patreon page for $3+ backers.

NB: We weren’t sure about the real differences between the difficulty levels when we recorded this. We received the hardback edition of the God of War Prima Guide a few days later and what the difficulties are about is thoroughly explained in this guide. Very happy with that purchase.
