[malikaminor]

Bro that kratos reveal from e3 2016 still gives me so much chills good lord

[golork]

A bit weird you called Thor as the main obstacle in Ragnarok. While he is for sure a huge threat, its quite clear that Odin is the primary antagonist.

[AngryNerdBird]

Wow, I didn't know Judge actually cried during the "I am your monster no longer" scene. He really went all out.

[popsiclecheese]

I like how people always portray old kratos as taller. But young kratos was like 7’6, new kratos is 6’4. They shrunk him a lot

[samuelliebich]

Bear McCreary deserves so much recognition for his work on the last 2 games, especially Ragnarok. No game score has moved me quite like his, he has crafted a masterpiece worthy of the game it goes with

[barefootbreezy]

Hearing christopher talk about his kids like that gives his performance that much more meaning

[hueco]

Kratos will always hold a special place in my millennial gaming heart. He broke onto the scene filled with hate and vengeance when I was in my late teens going through a lot of family shit. Now he’s older and wiser at the same time I’m raising my own child.

[subhandin]

Bear McReary is the reason for all of the goosebumps that was caused to me during this game, and the fact that he intuitively makes it up on the spot as the last piece of music is truly special

[Manfkulture]

Fans then: "I'm done with Kratos"
Fans now: "we miss the young Kratos"

[Spyciality]

Imagine showing Ragnarok to the people working on the very first god of war game and saying “this is where this masterpiece will end up”

[chaosinsurgency]

Kratos went from yelling *ZEUS* to yelling
Moral of the story: Raising hell on Olympus is harder than raising Boi on your own.

[samraduns]

Mad props to Santa Monica Studios. The original is excellent. The reimagining is flawless.

[omuhgordo]

Greek Kratos: SPEAKS IN CAPS
Norse Kratos: *Speaks in bold.*

[relaxchil]

No wonder kratos voice giving me goosebump..its sound like someone who speak from the heart...its sound so real unlike a game voice i've heard before

[MatchaCutie]

I grew up playing Chains of Olympus on my PSP when I was around 5 years old! I still think Kratos is a badass after all these years.

[Mr.Comedian]

This is every game dev’s dream, this game series just doesn’t miss

[Zeddyboi]

The 2018 game came out a month before I graduated high school. Ragnarok came out a month before I graduate college. ❤️

[mikelange]

Just speaking for myself, but I have a strong feeling that the reason Norse metrology was used(I absolutely LOVE Norse mythology btw) was because of the Marvel franchise. It was REALLY starting to pop off and I feel that’s the honest reason for the setting. Also Assassins Creed had come out with Origin so there’s that too. After God of War Rag, haven’t played it yet, I’d love to see some Egyptian gameplay! Devs take this note… Petbe would be AMAZING to bring into that setting. Seth would be a good one to bring in as well

[centric]

Looking at what gaming has turned into this last decade, God of War Ragnarok is a blessing! It’s been way to long since games have been player focused and made with love and care and I desperately hope other developers take note and change their ways to make gaming great again

[hunterulez]

kratos himself is not only a sentiment to what change can do to a person but also shows us the challenge it takes to make that change, we see this giant burly man who is stuck on the idea of revenge on those who took everything he had away into a man who wishes to make the world better for his son, and for him to become a better father just the same. i havn't seen a more amazing character arc other than kratos himself, and its all thanks to one amazing studio listening to their fans, and an amazingly creative story design team.

say what you want that may be missing from the games, this is one of the best, the best characters, games, gameplay, and franchises.
