This version of Kratos finally feels like a fully-developed character —one that's less of a one-dimensional rage monster and more of a deep, thoughtful soul who's still harboring a lot of pain and anguish. An encounter with a friendly witch early in the game grants you a 'Witch Compass' —an invaluable item which will always point you in the direction of your current objective, meaning you'll never get lost on this epic adventure. This compass becomes especially useful when travelling around to different areas within each realm via canoe. Ich kenne aus der God of War-Reihe bisher nur den vierten Teil. Von den OST-Alben besitze ich aber tatsächlich das Album zum dritten GoW (welcher von mehreren Leuten komponiert wurde). Wenn man diesen mit Bear McCreary’s Musik vergleicht fällt auf das McCreary’s Musik wesentlich emotionaler und reifer ist und, wie oben erwähnt, viele ruhigere Momente hat, während der GoW3-Score roh, brutal und durch und durch wütenden Bombast bietet. Natürlich ist dieser Wandel in der Musik der vielschichtigen Vater/Sohn-Story des vierten Teils geschuldet. Und McCreary hat, so passioniert wie er eben ist, hier wieder ein durch und durch magisches Hörerlebnis geschaffen.

God of War review: powerful, poignant and unforgettable God of War review: powerful, poignant and unforgettable

The problem, as we alluded to earlier, is the father and son are not particularly close —both Kratos and Atreus resent their new living situation, but must journey away from home to carry out Faye's final wish, which is to have her ashes scattered at the highest peak in all the realms. This puts the Spartan on the defensive —a position he doesn't usually find himself in. All of Kratos' previous adventures placed him in the role of aggressor, seeking vengeance for the wrongs that had been committed against him, but now his only concerns are carrying out his late wife's dying wish and protecting his son. While he's still the grumpiest guy around, it's safe to say that Kratos is significantly less full of rage than he was during his time in Ancient Greece —he's no longer prone to killing everything in sight, and when he does raise his voice, it's usually because Atreus has failed to obey his commands.With astonishing art direction and incredibly detailed graphics, God of War ranks among the very best looking games on the PlayStation 4 —in fact, we'd go as far as to say that it's the prettiest PS4 game since the visually-astonishing Horizon: Zero Dawn by Guerilla Games. Dwarven Dice Set – This set comes with a set of dice with a quality wood-like finish in a dice bag with a symbol of Yggdrasil on the outside. Between now and November 9, we can’t wait to show you more of what’s awaiting Kratos and Atreus in the Nine Realms as Ragnarök draws closer! Though it was once hate and anger that fueled Kratos' desire to fight, he now fights out of love, which is a huge departure in tone for the series — and ultimately transforms it into something more powerful, poignant and unforgettable.
