Viewed by many as one of the all-time great titles for Sonys.Game details Developer: Sony Santa MonicaStarting with the release of God of War in 2005 on PlayStationВ®2, Santa Monica Studio has created seven games across multiple platforms. 2 - RE2.God of War, electronic action-adventure game, released by the Sony Corporation in 2005. As a big Biohazard/Resident Evil fan, I usually tell people to play the earlier mainline RE games in the following order, as to minimize spoilers: 1 - RE1. I own every God of War game, except God of War (2018). In which order, should I play all of the God of War games User Info: JonathanFG.

When Atreus questions the value of war, Kratos chides him for 'seeing with the eyes of a child.' When Atreus loses his knife, Atreus berates himself for being so careless in front of his obviously badass father. One moment he's puffing out his chest and declaring that 'if they try to rob us, I'll kill them.' The next, he's on the verge of tears over a recent kill, listening gravely as his father tells him he has to 'close his heart to it' to be an effective warrior. Becoming humanAt the beginning of the journey, Atreus alternates between extremely pensive and extremely enthused about his new role as his father's warrior-helper. The addition of a child to play off adds much-needed depth and development to the remorseless revenge machine featured in previous God of War games.

In other words, he's a hurt kid looking eagerly toward the only father figure available.Kratos, meanwhile, shows little to no appreciation for Atreus' ability to read important runes, decipher languages, or point toward the solution to puzzles with 'helpful' advice about five seconds after you enter a room. At the same time, though, Atreus is Kratos' biggest fan, calling out praise like, 'Boy, you're really strong' and 'All right!' when Kratos shows off his strength and agility (he also ends up describing things that just happened in the most annoying, expositional comic-book style such dialogue goes a long way to wasting any sympathy the kid may have built in the player's mind). But for the most part, Kratos seems almost eager to focus on their mission rather than build a relationship with the son he barely knows (thanks to frequent 'hunting trips' while Atreus was stuck sick in bed, as he bitterly recalls).Atreus reacts by closing himself off, muttering under his breath about how Kratos 'never cares about anything' and privately musing that maybe the wrong parent died. There are a few ham-handed early attempts to show that Kratos wants more from the relationship and is simply unable to open himself up to his ward. The pair act less like father and son and more like a reluctant teacher with his uncooperative student.

A few comic-relief side characters occasionally show up to break up all the pathos, rounding out a story that ends up equal parts cheesy and genuinely affecting. But the slow emotional arc of the plot eventually had me caring about these characters and their relationship in a way I wasn't expecting. The young boy starts acting like a petulant teenager with no appreciation for his legacy and responsibility, drawing some strong rebukes from a man who has literally killed gods.The writing isn't all that subtle.В It can drag thanks to boring exposition about its lore, and it's not helped by obvious allegories for us humans trying to raise self-confident and respectful children. There are even a few well-earned moments between the two that approach actual warmth, and a few other sequences show Kratos flashing very human frailty and emotion over his son's safety and upbringing.While all this is happening, Atreus begins to revel in a newfound confidence as he accumulates more skill and power in battle. In doing so, Kratos reveals a bit of the self-hatred for his very being that makes him close off all outward signs of emotion.
