Kratos is back, but this time he’s not just a rage-fueled killing machine — he’s a rage-fueled killing machine with dad energy. The grumpy Spartan ventures into the frosty lands of Norse mythology, dragging along his son, Atreus, who has spent most of his childhood mastering the art of being called "boy". Seriously, if you take a shot every time Kratos yells "boy", you’ll pass out before the first boss.

The combat system revolves around the Leviathan Axe, which isn’t just a weapon but a magical Swiss Army tool. You can smash enemies, freeze mechanisms, and throw it like a boomerang with such precision it feels like Kratos secretly joined a frisbee league. Just be warned: recalling the axe is so satisfying, you might forget there’s still a fight going on.

The story is a cocktail of family drama, mythology, and parenting 101. Kratos is trying hard to be a good dad, but his parenting style feels like a mix of drill sergeant and mythological life coach. Meanwhile, Atreus isn’t just "the kid you yell at"; he’s a surprisingly helpful companion who shoots arrows and sometimes delivers sarcastic comments when dad’s being too dramatic.

The world is stunning — a Norse fairytale come to life, with snowy peaks, lush forests, and frozen lakes so beautiful you’ll want to grab a hot chocolate and just take it all in. That is, until a troll shows up to remind you this isn’t a sightseeing tour.

God of War is a tale about a grizzled god learning to balance parenting, Norse mythology, and his own inner demons. It’s packed with epic battles, heartfelt moments, and, of course, endless shouts of "boy". The game is funny, emotional, and breathtaking — like a late-night talk show.
