Everything GREAT About God of War Ragnarok!

I didn’t even realize the reason Thor’s wound never heals is because the axe was imbued with eitr, such good storytelling

I just really love how in the trailers they show Fenrir as mysterious and menacing, but in the game he’s a giant good boy

“Are you not a soldier? Are you not a leader of men? MASTER YOURSELF, my son brought us to this place FOR YOU LOOK AT HIM” 100 points instantly given.

My cousin's son died last week, and I just finished the main story. The last vision of Faye just hit so hard. "Grief is the culmination of love . . . to grieve deeply is to have loved fully" really got me. I love you, Zack. And I will grieve you deeply.

"To grieve deeply is to have loved fully." I don't think this game will ever stop making me cry and cry and cry.

I love how Kratos looks at the arrows he's making. Ancient Greece did not have a high opinion of archery in combat, they saw it as dishonorable but he's still making them because his son is an archer and Norse had a very different opinion of archery.

In the book, Atreus talks about feeling the emotions of animals and other beings. He described kratos as a wall, with only lapses of gigantic emotions leaking out momentarily

The"not even my family" line was delivered just so pefectly, there's just something about the way Sindri says it that always makes me tear up

54:20 Freya : "And matted fur leads to disease. Take care of them and they'll take care of you!" Also Freya : *leaves Chaurli in the cold to die*

I interpreted the handprint on kratos’s head at the beginning of the game as Faye putting a protection spell on Kratos to save him from his fate

That Hole riddle is also a symbol for how Kratos and Atreus took away everything from Sindri, and now he only has a big hole in his heart. Truly the best storytelling game, not even of the year, but ever.

Love how in the final Thor fight, each weapon got its own cinematic cutscene highlight. First the Blades of Chaos which he uses to whip back Mjolnir, and then the Draupnir Spear to escape Thor's neck choke, and lastly the final clash with the Axe fittingly. It's also like the Devs are encouraging you to use all of them in this one final fight.

21:30 It's extra hilarious that if you approach the kettle/kitchen after this cut scene, Sindri will pipe up with "I KNEW you wanted a snack!" from wherever he is in the house 🤣

Kratos walking down the stairs to blow the horn, with the music hitting its peak and the realms all opening, gives me chills every time without fail. My favorite moment out of any game I’ve ever played.

I've seen people mention this a lot but the best part about the buildup of the Heimdall fight is that there is clearly a strategy to what Kratos is doing. First, he's swing with a bunch of normal slow punches to get a sense of Heimdall's speed. Then, he starts moving faster to test his awareness as well as his fighting prowess. Heimdall easily should have counter attacked after he blocked Kratos' attack, which tells Kratos that Heimdall has no real technique for how combat works. So, when he runs in one last time, he does another string of attacks which is blocked, but Kratos' is ready and throws the most basic of counter hits. Block with the left and swing with the right, an attack any fighter would know how to avoid. But Heimdall only relies on his vision, so he gets hit.

It just hit me that the Norns said that the Norse realms literally have no destinies and nothing is set in stone, the Norns' only ability is that they understand everyone's nature to the point where the entire future is predictable, nothing more. So when Kratos "changed the future," he really was just changing himself to a point that altered the potential choices he and others made.

How did you guys miss the fact that Kratos cuts Heimdall's cheek with the Draupnir ring on that first punch that connected... the spear really was the key to defeating him

What broke me the most about Sindri was his appearance after Brok died: He had Brok's blood on his armor the entire game, he started vanishing in front of everyone rather than when he was out of sight, he lost all remorse, and so on. They wrote Sindri so well and it sucks that perfection like this can be so heartbreaking

1:06:31 "shirtless kratos og style armor would be nice" this aged REALLY well

The speech this man gave at the end gave me goosebumps “Love deeply, love strongly, find your family. Because after all… what else is there?” Like god damn
