A bit weird you called Thor as the main obstacle in Ragnarok. While he is for sure a huge threat, its quite clear that Odin is the primary antagonist.
He probably made this video weeks ago Takes a bit to edit.
@@XVNRX Ah, that would explain it.
he was talking about what bosses get to fight the most i think
@@XVNRX i mean gameplay of the end of the game was shown. They are just wrong
This feels like it was made by a team of people that doesn’t play games too often. Mispronunciations were everywhere. Gamerawnt, Ball-der, gooar (guard).
Bro that kratos reveal from e3 2016 still gives me so much chills good lord
Especially considering people thought we were done with kratos, that reveal sent shivers through my whole body
e
Hell yeah it does, the goose bumps be real
@@setupandey4819 why would anyone think that when it was heavily hinted at the end of GoW3 that kratos was still alive
I’m hungry….feed us!!
Wow, I didn't know Judge actually cried during the "I am your monster no longer" scene. He really went all out.
At that moment, the acting he's been doing was a love letter to his kids and not just gow lore and all of that blades of chaos retrieving :)
He got emotional when he "carried" Atreus in his arms. Judge is a father in real life.
Judge is impressive.
They kept a different take where he doesnt cry…but the acting by christopher judge is phenomenal…
@@jakomioftherose2434 wait they use motion capture? I'm so dumb
Kratos will always hold a special place in my millennial gaming heart. He broke onto the scene filled with hate and vengeance when I was in my late teens going through a lot of family shit. Now he’s older and wiser at the same time I’m raising my own child.
thats beautiful wtf
This is so epic
coincidence? i think not
Bru made me shed a tear
Bro is raising a live action adaptation of kratos. If he stops posting on social media, his sons hero arc has started
Kratos went from yelling *ZEUS* to yelling *BOOOOIIIIIIIIIII*. Moral of the story: Raising hell on Olympus is harder than raising Boi on your own.
...doesnt it prove the opposite? That raising and protecting a boi, is more challenging and physically demanding than defeating the entire greek pantheon? Man's was tired of it all but restless in the first few games, but not until the norse games did he feel "tired" like an man who is just plainly fatigued, just plain tired.
@@justsomemustachewithoutaguy- He lost a lot of his power when he destroyed Olympus
@@justsomemustachewithoutaguy-like Mimir said...there’s different kinds of “tired”.
He went from being angry at this cruel father to being loved by his kind son.
@@nonosetradome No he didn’t lmao, he Infact gained more, the more he ages, the more powerful he is.
Imagine showing Ragnarok to the people working on the very first god of war game and saying “this is where this masterpiece will end up”
I would cry
@@notsoaveragegamer5725 so would i
Happy tears or sad tears?
They would be damn proud about it
@@summonerbraddysg51 happy tears???
Fans then: "I'm done with Kratos" Fans now: "we miss the young Kratos"
As a new fan since mid 2022 I can understand. But the saga portrays how life can change a man's mind, even though this man is himself a god. I didn't played the Greek era 'cause I didn't had the age to do it (except for the third game on PS4, which was wild tbh) but i saw movie like gameplays and i don't think I could play it today because it ages a lot.
@@Roxsleyimpfromhell I agree, I still like what they did to the new Kratos because we already seen so much brutality on the young one I love how they think of new ideas to the character and not to repeat the same idea over and over again, my only issue is that the boss battles between him, Thor and Odin weren't so exciting as the previous Gods.
@@Bald_Menace I agree on these points though. The final battle against Thor and Odin could have been more developed, just like the one with Baldur from the previous game.
@@RoxsleyimpfromhellThis is my sentiments exactly. Honestly GOW 4 was better than Ragnarok if we're being objective. The only thing holding Ragnarok up was the hype. It was honestly one of the weaker mainline entries imo. It was decent but not nearly the bombastic experience GOW 3 was, which is a crying shame since it was supposed to be our last hoorah through Norse realms. Too much Oscar, not enough game.
@@heavenlysenju9948did you play the Valhalla DLC?
I like how people always portray old kratos as taller. But young kratos was like 7’6, new kratos is 6’4. They shrunk him a lot
Young Kratos is probably 6’3 since they changed his canon high which probably included god of war 3
Old kratos just seems taller, hes a bigger person than he was in the first three
He was actually 8 feet by the time lll came around.
It's the voice lol
@@mo-toes683 you are blind
Hearing christopher talk about his kids like that gives his performance that much more meaning
Repent to Jesus Christ “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 NIV I

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 Shut up
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 hail satan and have a good night
@@Theradbrad256 buzz off you scammers
Mad props to Santa Monica Studios. The original is excellent. The reimagining is flawless.
The original is better. Boring gameplay and bad dialog in the new games. Fuck Dad of war.
@@Theradbrad256 I'm inside of you.
Both are great. I personally prefer the original series, but understand the new style has wider appeal.
It's not a reimagining it's a sequel
It’s not a damn reimagined. It’s not a reboot or remake either. I didn’t know why people say this when they literally tell you 2018 takes place after GOW3?
Bear McReary is the reason for all of the goosebumps that was caused to me during this game, and the fact that he intuitively makes it up on the spot as the last piece of music is truly special
😂😂😂they made gow to a PU%%%Y with boi..... You had fun???nice for you! Ruined it for 90percent!
Bear McCreary deserves so much recognition for his work on the last 2 games, especially Ragnarok. No game score has moved me quite like his, he has crafted a masterpiece worthy of the game it goes with
I'm jamming to blood upon the snow since it has been uploaded
@@shardulkate7897 dude same that made the gym playlist. I pulled my deadlift PR to it lmao
@@samuelliebich7665 hell yeah brahh
They put him in ragnarok as the dwarf. Super cool
@@shardulkate7897 im jamming to raeb lament, its so good yet so sad
The whole series is a masterpiece
Old ones,yes.....new ones huge trash
@@Realkeepa You don't appreciate the art they created
@@dylannance4772 you have no idea of gow!!!thats the problem.teen.
@@dylannance4772 i instandly know you never played the old games.have fun picking flowers and cry along with kratos......have fun with the film.
@@dylannance4772 tell me the ART
Just speaking for myself, but I have a strong feeling that the reason Norse metrology was used(I absolutely LOVE Norse mythology btw) was because of the Marvel franchise. It was REALLY starting to pop off and I feel that’s the honest reason for the setting. Also Assassins Creed had come out with Origin so there’s that too. After God of War Rag, haven’t played it yet, I’d love to see some Egyptian gameplay! Devs take this note… Petbe would be AMAZING to bring into that setting. Seth would be a good one to bring in as well
Nah, Norse legends have trickled into English folklore for centuries. Let's not forget that there were Viking Kings of England like Canute the Great. Our language is intertwined with theirs so it's not surprising that their folklore resonates with us. Lest we forget that much of the folklore in the Lord of the Rings, especially Elvenlore, was lifted from Norse and Finno-Urgic mythology.
No wonder kratos voice giving me goosebump..its sound like someone who speak from the heart...its sound so real unlike a game voice i've heard before
I grew up playing Chains of Olympus on my PSP when I was around 5 years old! I still think Kratos is a badass after all these years.
Your parents let u play god of war at 5 years old? W parents
@@eg6168 hell yeah I also played GTA SA when I was like 4 years old too good sht
My parents let me play god of war and im only 9 and i dont why
@@trainer_boy me too, when I'm 8-10 y.o I got permission to play GTA by my brother and my mother consider that its normal
@@imanuelc143 still a kid 🗿🗿🗿
This is every game dev’s dream, this game series just doesn’t miss
Hopefully it stays that way.
unless it's up against an rpg
literally gow has no bad games and im serious
40 minutes well spent. It's my childhood game and will remain as my favorite franchise until the day I die.
I remember playing the first GoW when I was in the 10th grade back in 2005. I got the demo from GameStop back then. I've played every GoW including getting the Platinum Trophy for 2018 GoW & over 75 hours on Ragnarok to get the Platinum Trophy this time around. I would have never thought GoW would turn out to be one of the best gaming franchises EVER when I first played it back in 2005. Good job Santa Monica Studios! 🙌🏾🙏🏾💯
I almost dismissed GOW, but a guy at a gaming store convinced me to play it. Ms I got hooked
The best thing they could have done. Take a mindless hack and slash franchise and make it into an epic adventure through ancient folklore that took several notes from the same places Mr. Toklien did
kratos himself is not only a sentiment to what change can do to a person but also shows us the challenge it takes to make that change, we see this giant burly man who is stuck on the idea of revenge on those who took everything he had away into a man who wishes to make the world better for his son, and for him to become a better father just the same. i havn't seen a more amazing character arc other than kratos himself, and its all thanks to one amazing studio listening to their fans, and an amazingly creative story design team. say what you want that may be missing from the games, this is one of the best, the best characters, games, gameplay, and franchises.
lugi
You telling me that God of War 4 was rushed to its deadline and still came out like this doesn’t change my view of the game. The story feels like a well-written novel with philosophical truths and hardships that blend perfectly visually into the story of God of War. In fact, it being rushed and still turning out this great is amazing, you can really tell they went above and beyond with this legendary character.
At 17:52, whoever put Atreus’ theme when talking about people being done with Kratos, you deserve a raise🔥 I had to pause the video to bask in the glory of it😂
The 2018 game came out a month before I graduated high school. Ragnarok came out a month before I graduate college. ❤️
Looking at what gaming has turned into this last decade, God of War Ragnarok is a blessing! It’s been way to long since games have been player focused and made with love and care and I desperately hope other developers take note and change their ways to make gaming great again
God of war, horizon, Spider-Man have all done amazing things for gaming. Those 3 series have definitely been the most captivating for me in the last few years.
@@Ryuukosho I will agree that Horizon 1 and 2 are pretty great as well, they have some flaws, but obviously are games that was made with love! Spider-man on the other hand, I really have don't know much as I've only played Miles Morales, but that game was pretty awesome!
Miles Morales was a bit small compared to the first but its still pretty solid imo. Horizon 1 had me going "man it'd be nice to have *some improvement* but this is still amazing". Horizon 2 fixed every one of those things and then some. Definitely flawed but I don't think I've ever played a game without some flaw or another.
@@Ryuukosho these are great games and definitely worthy of being on the top, these are only very few top games made lately, there's been hundreds of cheap, moneygrabs that has been shoved down gamers' throats, and with internet journalists shitting on single player, story driven games and praising call of duty, things are looking from for gaming, I just hope we get more god of war, horizon and spider man type games
@@Ryuukosho horizon did nothing new from a gameplay perspective, though the world and art direction was pretty awesome
i will be honored to become a fan of this franchise once i have enough time and internet to watch all of the glory
I played the first two on PS2 but I would rather not invest in a PS3, 4, 5, 6 or whatever when my PC is enough. They should release the entire series on Steam, not just the newer ones.
@@AmariKhumalo i have nothing to play them on
@@LICENFIREFEAR That sucks man 😞, a PS2 is pretty cheap though, got mine for $30 used.
@@AmariKhumalo we got a pc master race-er pleading for console exclusives on his machine the irony
this is by far the most impressive and legendary franchise ever created in gaming industry!!!
Started off playing this on my PS2 back when number 2 was released, and to see how far they've gotten, that's crazy
As someone who's played God of War since I was 3. Seeing Kratos *be better* brought tears to my eye multiple moments throughout Ragnarök. It is indeed the best and I cannot wait to see the journey Atreus will have during his own game or games. Edit: I notice a lot of people saying I didn't play GOW when I was 3. I did. I don't know what to tell you other than I did. You can play games at any age really. So... have a good day.
Psych, you know Kratos gotta kill Loki
How can u remember when u were 3? Lmaoo
how tf did u play the game being 3, its hard as heck
🧢 you didn't play this when you were 3...3 year olds can't even comprehend cocomelon there's no way you can conquer Ares and Zeus.
@@whodatn4l948 frrr 😂
A correction: Ragnorak focuses on a conflict with Odin, not Thor. The entire plot is hinged around taking down the tyrannicalall-father, and Thor is simply his "servant" who is abused throughout the game.
“You don’t think, I think, you kill!” -Odin
Just got my platinum trophy in GoW Ragnarok and my goodness!! I'm quite busy these days and no game has made me sink 60 hours into it this wholeheartedly, no regrets. I absolutely loved every minute of this game... Except the minor annoyance of the traversal in Vaneheim; Other than that, absolutely perfect!
That and and the jotunheim thing were annoying to do
"Then show me what you know... I am hungry" Kratos is so kickass, even when saying he wants food
Ragnarok was a masterpiece, I’ve never had a game put me in such an emotional state. My eyes wouldn’t stop watering 😅😅
yes but pales in comparison to og trilogy
@@octoslut I agree
Who is actually crying from video games bruh lmao
@@Anarchic1989 people who form emotional attachments towards said games. can't you read? 🙄🙄🙄
@@aljo8200 no he cant lol
They couldn’t have made the last 2 god of wars with a better cast. They both were like movies! Great voice actors, great stories, fantastic plots. Can’t wait for a new one!
Younger kratos: (shouts) who are you? Older kratos: not yet
I'm shocked that even a perfect series like this has haters who can't move on past the originals. Miserable people hate change, even though it's what they need most.
"Oh, these people have a different opinion to mine. They must be miserable."
@@deandingus6999 only when their opinion clearly reflects their misery
@@alivepool1625If they have good points to back it up it’s chill but when their only argument is “angry man have emotion other than being mad is bad” you can see the stubbornness of the original fans.
@@themedic7933Yeah if it was criticism of the combat or pacing of GOWR then it'd be valid.
Nah, they just made a hack and slash where your last concern is slashing enemies. The enemies have almost 0 meaning, the rich variety once seen in gow 3 vanished, the backgrounds are now simple caves, it makes it appear like I am playing skyrim, even the camera angle contributes to that, in OG gows the camera angle always showed the scenario in the most beautiful cinematic view so you could have a nice view of the fight, almost as if every battle was a piece of art. The structures were magnificent and mythologic, big and imponent, now its just the back of kratos covering 1/3 of the screen and you being attacked from offscreen. It truly feels like a worse skyrim, as it is not open world, and has much less content. They focused too much on thecnical aspects of art and forgot what made the game enjoyable for the OG community, it was never graphics. Gow 1 and 2 were mid to low graphics but still had a fun combat system, which was intuitive, and presented new combat related stuff every 30min. The variety of enemies (visually and mechanically) also was much greater, and kratos could be very brutal, yet soft on adequate moments. The first three games were very similar in combat, each one making some improvement and adding new content, the original triology is art. All we wanted to see was essentially a GoW 3 combat system with the newest graphics that went to GoW 4. Also, YOU CAN ACTUALLY JUMP IN COMBAT
"I'm dangling from the hip of bloody Ghost of Sparta!" will always be a cool revelation for me in God of War Norse
"...Do NOT call me *that*."
You literally deserve more subscribers bro you did a really great animation!
That’s what I’m saying
he's an og animator
Lol
Bro straight fax
fr (french revolution)
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. The trip down memory lane was absolutely amazing.
The fact that you can play as Atreus now just adds so much more to the game
Yeah picking fruit and lighting lanterns for almost 2 hours is amazing….
@@Cooz. I wasn’t talking about the ironwood mission, everyone knows that shit is a waste of time
"love comes first, followed closely by hate divorce and alimony" sh*t had me rollin
"When you feel the rage inside you that is me in your blood eating away at any goodness of your mother" I wish that line was in game especially the "that is exactly what I am" line
Such an insightful documentary from Flatlife, as always. The audience's scream when Kratos appeared from the shadows @ 22:35 ... I equally felt the goosebumps they must have felt during that reveal.
Nnoho
A conversation with Tyr also revealed that the destiny of kratos is definitely sealed with those of egyptian gods... waiting for that eagerly too!
Sincerely, for me Ragnarok is one of the best games in gaming history ! good job man with this video , I am impressed
Thank you so much!
Gaming history really?
@@raamraamji1899 It's an opinion. You might think it's not the best, but GOW 5 has a phenomenal story and graphics, and you can't disagree with that.
@@raamraamji1899 yes
Nah, the 2018 game felt more focused and solid
The fact that god of war was built in an engine for racing is crazy
It’s not often I get chills watching one of these video game history/background videos, but this was incredibly done. I’ve loved the GoW series since the beginning, and the first three have always been memorable to me, but I was never really emotionally connected with them, because Kratos has always been a bit of a 1-dimensional character. The 2018 game and Ragnarok have elevated it to being one of the best game series I’ve ever played, hands down. The story is absolutely incredible, and I’ve never gotten teary eyed and choked up at a video game like I did throughout the two recent entries, but it’s the passion and attention to detail to EVERY aspect that shines through just as much. The beautiful graphics, landscapes, textures, the soundtrack and voice acting and sound design, the gameplay and just overall refinement and polish is something I’ve never seen in video games to date the way Santa Monica executed. I’ve nearly finished 100% of Ragnarok but I’m already excited to replay the two through completely again, and I’ve already replayed the original two as well. Absolutely a masterpiece, and I hope the studio gets all the recognition they deserve.
That applause for Kratos gave me chills, I felt the same way
I've played every single game of the franchise and have been a fan since the first GoW came out. Its definitely the best game I have ever played by a mile.
Lol you could've included the kratos falling meme on the god of war 1 segment, and even the meme aside, it is still a iconic and unforgettable scene at the beginning of the game
It seems everyone recently that even puts that clip in their video gets age restricted for suicidal themes
One of my favorite games ever since childhood, and your video about the evolution of God of War gave me such a nostalgia. Absolutely loved the video and insights!
I was a beta tester for the ps2 GOW. I remember going through it thinking “This could be a great series!”
How did you get choosen?
@@Vibrantly_Monochromatic Sony had this social club you could sign up for. I filled out a form and was picked. I got free merch: cups, stickers, shirts, memory cards, and early beta access to games. I would play them and submit feedback. GoW was one. I also tried out Sly Cooper, Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005), a Gundam game, and others I can’t recall. This was back when games were actually completed before being sent out to the public 😂
The voice actors for god of war and god of war Ragnarok are so good. I love seeing them speak
You never get tired of kratos.
That was one of the greatest breakdowns of a video game franchise if not the best nice job man i give this a 10/10 lol
I love the thumbnail it has a deep meaning of how hot headed,angry and how much he cared about revenge and then he became a wise, mindful person but he is always cold
You really did an amazing job at the animations Edit: wow thank yall so much for the likes!
yes
An amazing, in-depth, and informative review of the God of War series, filling in things I didn't know. Thank you very much for this.
Great video!!! Tons of works poured into it. Great vibe. Thank you.
Gow 2018 and ragnorak was probably the best game I’ve ever played. The story and fighting in the game is unrivalled
bro christopher tearing up with the "I know" left me BAWLING
They say you Channel your traumas and/or experiencs into emotion when acting those scenes. The man channeled Kratos' emotion and traumas into that line.
@@DynoSkrimisher he did say he was also apoligizing to his kids
This is why you have to respect the game developers of games like god of war, they put so much time and love into the game so we have the best time.
This was video was beautifully done and so professional! Mad props to you, ill be a typecast and stan this game. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD. Also im low key twitching at both the main voice actors not understanding how big it is, AND MORE DOLLAR FOR THEM.
22:36 the way the crowd went wild for Kratos is everything!
Definitely excited to play Ragnarök... when it comes to PC in a couple years. Finished God of War earlier today and loved every second of it.
22:32 Everyone's reaction to seeing the new Kratos is priceless
i loved kratos' character development throughout the game, esp when atreus ran away and released garm & kratos helped him catch & transform garm
God of war is one of those franchise that have never ceased to impress me with each release.
Great summary. This is the video that I needed to get my hands on the lore of God of War without ever having been able to play it. 10/10 IMO Rating ;)
I just don't get it why is this guy not reached a million subscribers he really deserves it
I like how the move set with the Blades haven't changed. Same moves just different engines.
I think I was about 8 or 9 when I played the first game and I've been hooked on god of war ever since it's amazing to see the franchise still going and only getting better and better
I just finished God of War (2018) and I love it
Now play Ragnarok. It's even better
@@ScareBros I think the two games complete each other so much you cannot play one without playing the other
Just finished Ragnarok The game was so amazing and beautiful I loved every moment of it Even me getting slapped around a couple of times. Game of the year Game of the year
Watching this video I realized that I’ve played just about every God of War game and they all have been so entertaining and masterpieces or close and I can’t think of any franchise that comes close to the consistent quality these games produce. It right up there, and maybe above, games such as metal gear and gta
Never had the opportunity to play the earlier games since I was an xbox kid. But I played GOW 3 occasionally at friends houses. Getting a ps4 and now a ps5 getting to enjoy the newer games have been awesome. 2018 was spectacular and Ragnarok completely blew it out of the park, everything is amazing and the soundtrack is unbelievable. Fantastic series overall as I learned alot of the lore after 2018.
Since I played GOW 2018, I was amaze of a different experience and it's storytelling devilment. Then I played GOW3 and a few PS3 titles to experience the past gameplay. After playing GOW: Ragnarok and was very impress of it's RPG style and a fun experienced it, all I can say it's another masterpiece sequel! The writing is fantastic, the music is great, the development is spot on and the acting is outstanding. It's a Game of the year for me.
I did not care about or know anything about God of War until 2018, so it's cool to know what a high quality game it's always been.
Never played any God of War games. Not my style. But this video gives me appreciation for the game and it's creators. Impressive bunch of folks for making so many excellent games for us for so long.
currently playing god of war ('18), just in love with it .
Same
The thumbnail made me realize how cool it would be to have a Samurai Jack style moment of current Kratos having a conversation about morality with the old Kratos
I remember when God Of War PS2 came out. It was amzing, nearly 20 years later and God of War is still great.
Playing all of them as per mood and time on my PC from GOW 1 to GOW 3 on emulators and GOW 2018 on steam. Everything about this franchise is great
I am so happy that these old games got sequels these years that are great in terms of gameplay, but are still made by people that seem to love the material and tried to make great games.
I just finished it last night. It was amazing.
Good job man you killed it and watching this brought so much hype back fs.
I did not know about this game until I watched Jacksepticeye’s play through of God of War 2018 and the game has fascinated me since. I’m not a gamer that loves gore and that sort of thing, so the storyline of the games since 2018 has been extremely interesting and opens the games up to a broader audience. I’m glad you made this video so I could understand more of the lore behind the games which makes the storyline so much more interesting!
My background with the game is almost the same as yours!
Same lmao I watch Jack's play through
24:07 that's the most emotional, heartfelt I know I have ever heard
I would love to see them keep the franchise going🔥 Wonder how it will end up with Atreus going off on his own. Would like to see a battle of Egyptian gods as well.
I'm a few hours into GOW Ragnarok, and it's amazing to say the least
''Is God of War: Ragnarök a masterpiece'' My answer: YES!!!
I just got into playing God of War, and I love it. Wish I wasn’t narrow minded yrs ago, not playing it when it was first released in PS2. But better late then never. 👍🏾
So glad this blew up, you deserve it!
I didn't expect Strider to be one of the inspirations for God of War.
Kratos is literally our childhood masculinity awaken It's just a masterpiece of full of badassery
I like it as girl too, especially the 2018 part
But Kratos always acknowledged that his actions in the first games were awful and destructive..
The Norse Kratos, especially in Ragnarok, is the definition of true masculinity.
this video is so well-put. keep it up!
I like how in the thumbnail younger Kratos looks angry and frustrated while older Kratos is just watching him get pissed
If the previous god of war was a masterpiece, this is a game that came from gods. It’s a lot to take when you see what they did there. Amazing views, amazing gameplay, amazing dialogues, amazing characters. It gives very good messages for families that they are broken and is giving motivation and courage to resolve their family issues. “We must be better for the sake of our children”. There is no competition with any other game. It would be a blasphemy to not win all the awards…. P.s. I forgot to mention that I am playing it on ps4 but my graphic experience was like I was playing on ps5. Give them all the awards right now……
but bill clinton won goty lmao
Can't wait to see what lies in store for the future. Maybe Egyptian since it is the third most popular mythology stories.
bro god of war taught me more about greek mythology than school did
SO THAT'S WHY THE "I know" SOUNDED SO EMOTIONAL,i would've never figured it out
Ragnarok for me is my favourite, mainly bc of the balanced storyline. There was a perfect amount of action and story, and the visuales ofc where amazing
