Why God of War Ragnarok Will Be One of the Biggest Games of the Year HD

Boy, God of War Ragnarök carries an immense weight of anticipation on its shoulders. Treading new ground beyond 2018’s masterful reboot will take some doing, but from the briefest cinematics and story trailers we’ve seen so far, it looks as though Sony Santa Monica might just pull this off. Kicking off a few years after the events of God of War and the preceding Fimbulwinter, Ragnarök once again places Kratos and his now teenage son Atreus within the ancient Scandinavian realm of Midgard in a continuation of the revamped Norse mythology setting. Only this time, Kratos seems ever-more battle weary, whilst Atreus, evidently stronger, and more confident, appears to embrace an inevitability to brutality. Together, they traverse a frozen, unforgiving landscape, battling pitiless, larger-than-life monsters in an effort to halt impending apocalypse.
