A focused journey with weighty combat
Kratos and Atreus travel through a Norse setting where close combat, puzzles and their relationship share the spotlight. It suits someone who wants a strong narrative direction between discoveries.
Before you choose: This is the 2018 game, not the original Greek adventure. Combat is hands-on rather than a system you can pause and plan.

God of War is the sequel to God of War III as well as a continuation of the canon God of War chronology. Unlike previous installments, this game focuses on Norse mythology and follows an older and more seasoned Kratos and his son Atreus in the years since the third game. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.
