God Of War

TRUE MASTERCLASS.

- Omar Qureshi

Since its debut on PlayStation 2 in 2005, God Of War has become one of the most iconic video game franchises. When this eighth game in the franchise was announced at E3 2016, it was on the ‘to-buy’ list of almost every PlayStation 4 player. A franchise that has sold over 20 million copies worldwide had big expectations to meet.

REVIEW 

This game puts you in a remote location of Midgard where you play as Kratos who has to control his rage to help his son Atreus fulfil the wishes of his mother. You cannot help but notice the splendid world created by Santa Monica Studio. After having revisited the Greek mythology,  the franchise this time decided to pay tribute to the Nordic deities. All the big names are present: Baldur, Thor, Odin, Loki, Mimir, Tyr, Brok, Fafnir, the Midgard Serpent and the rest. Draugars are the first enemies we meet, quickly supported by trolls, ogres, seiðr, rabid wolves and elfs. In addition to Midgard, the game takes you to the other eight kingdoms of Scandinavian folklore, including the mythical Asgard.
