He low-key wrote the most badass theme ever.

Who would win?

This guy gets how character themes should be done. When a character shows up in a scene, their theme should always accompany them whether if it’s dramatic or subtle. It’s what makes them more memorable. Examples like John Williams’ superman theme is a perfect example.

The OST for God Of War is very addictive. Thank god they hired Bear to compose the soundtrack for this game.

You know a game is awesome when the composer's name is Bear

i haven't waited for a game in years ... nor horizon or even my beloved uncharted 4 .... but this one. God of war is part of some of us.

[MLaak]

It truly does feel fitting for this older, wiser, and more self controlled Kratos, his rage is within his control rather than it controlling him and that makes him more powerful and dangerous than he’s ever been.
