Kratos is back again ⛓️ 🏔️ 🌨️ ❄️ 🪓

2018's God of War game is one of my favorite games that I've ever played. The funny thing is I didn't even play it for the first time until I got my PS5 in November of 2020. I somehow managed to wait two whole years before diving into the mythological world that Kratos inhabits and finally experiencing his tales of action and adventure. I fell in love right away and realized I had been sleeping on PlayStation's giant. It's no wonder many say that PlayStation has some of the best exclusives and single-player games are indeed not dying.

Taking a look back at my playthrough of God of War is pretty easy since I made several detailed posts about it at the time:

It was easy for me to see that God of War was something I was nowhere near tired of after finishing everything it had to offer. It is by far the best game incorporating Norse mythology that I've ever experienced. Lucky for me, God of War Ragnarök was revealed right around when I was playing 2018's game. The only thing is, I had two more years to wait before I could actually play it. After being patient for so long, the time has finally come to see the next evolution of Kratos and God of War.

I've had the PS5 version of the game preordered for many months and I left its launch day wide open so that I would have plenty of time to play. My expectations were very high for this one, but Sony's Santa Monica Studios was very unlikely to disappoint. From what I saw before launch, Ragnarök is mostly the same game but expanded upon and with even better graphics. Oh, and there is the fact that the PS5's DualSense's haptics and adaptive triggers will increase the immersion even more than previously.

In today's video, I will be giving my first impressions of the game. As always, my reactions will be raw and recorded as I'm playing. I hope this allows you to really feel the excitement that I do when playing an amazing new game like this.

I will definitely be posting more about God of War Ragnarök, but for now I"m just trying to play more of this game. Are you too playing it?

If you don't yet own a PS5, don't fret. God of War Ragnarök is also available on PS4, but I'm sure it will be several years before it ever lands on PC. Xbox players, keep dreaming, it's never going to happen for you.

I'm predicting it now... God of War Ragnarök will win many GOTY awards.

Thanks for watching today's video and be sure to stick around for more coming in the future. I know this game is only going to get better and better as I p progress through the various realms.
