A No-Ordinary Angry Dad Game

To give you a brief overview of God of War, let this review tell you quick info about Kratos. To sum up the other God of War series, Kratos was Athena’s murder man until he was double-crossed, which resulted in him killing all the gods, including his father, Zeus. After leaving godless Greece, Kratos decided to explore the land of Norse and luckily got a wife, a son named Atreus, and an eminent beard. Unfortunately, his wife died, and you can see this once you start the game.
God of War Father & Son

God of War is a story where you will witness literally gigantic personalities. In this game, you will see a father and son tandem opting not to save the world but to spread Kratos’ wife’s ashes on the huge mountain. They are not looking for any kind of fight, but Midgard is extremely triggering them and left them with no choice but to fight for their lives.

As you jump into the fight scenes, you will notice the endless strength and abilities of Kratos in terms of fighting and how he lifts bulky stuff such as an entire building. He utilizes an axe against his enemies. Truly, Kratos shows extraordinary toughness in killing any kind of living thing that crosses his way. On the other hand, Atreus is like a strong, silent curious youngster on the side. The tandem of the two depicts a rapport that is layered. Atreus wants to prove to his father that his skills are enough to take the journey, and like his father, he can also be a better man with supernatural strengths.

Kratos & the Leviathan Axe

If you are an extreme fanatic of God of War, you will surely not miss the powerful weapons in this game. In this series, Kratos will be using the Leviathan Axe. It will be his primary weapon and all-in-one tool in the game. But, you can still customize it and try out other weapons, and upgrade them as well. Aside from killing enemies, this axe allows Kratos to destroy barriers, freeze equipment, open doors or reach faraway loots. But, most of the time, this axe will be used against Kratos’ opponents. The axe features a delectable balance of speed and heft that results in significant destruction to anyone or anything that hits it.

However, there are combats where an axe is not in use. But, as we all know, Kratos is a beast and depicts an extraordinary skill tree and advantages enough to beat any opponent. Like his axe, Kratos also shows fast-paced, satisfying moves. Moreover, you can still back up Kratos by activating Atreus and letting him shoot arrows to the target. As the father and son progress in the game, they will gain various awesome stuff that will help them in their journey. There are times that you will get annoyed with Atreus insisting on shooting arrows but, as you trust the prowess of your axe, you will keep using it.
