Shoutout to Christopher Judge, his performance defines the Dad of War saga

That drifting at the end was awesome.

Atreus: "Dad, i'm getting dizzy"
Kratos: "I'm having fun Atreus"

A nice detail with Sindri is that after Brock dies when you find him working in the forge you can see he’s filthy and not wearing gloves. His fear of germs has been completely erased by his grief and anger. He is a fundamentally different person than we’ve come to know throughout the rest of the game and its predecessor

Omg so good. Loved all the hugging and the Thor storyline is just so tragic.

Ah, brethren. We have gathered for a tale. A tale of revenge, murder, honor, and growth. A struggle of evolution in a world that changes constantly.
Let us be better, as we age.

I wish so badly that they'd make a series of ancient war documentaries voiced by Christopher Judge

The story is very special too me. Possibly one of my most favorite games. If I go back and play again it’s a good game. I lost my father when I was sixteen, fast forward almost 20 years… yeah… it got me. Reminded me. I was very very rebellious. Another touch is Christopher judge as kratos, my father and I watched the entire stargate saga lol. Little.. bittersweet. About 2/3 the way through ragnarok. Love it. Absolutely love it.

Wow I’m only halfway through this vid and it’s honestly top tier. Love the way you describe things and pay attention to the details that I’ve noticed a lot of other YouTubers seem to miss. Good stuff dude

The story is so beautifully written, how a doomed character like Kratos found peace n redemption through the people around him.

Insane how they improved everything people complained about from 2018 yet people still cry lol

Just want to say 7:40 Thor isn’t really manipulated here, he’s just so entrenched in Odin’s Will that when Sif is clearly pointing out Odins shortcomings and purposeful failures Thor does what he does best, attack the closest enemy of his father.
