If any game is deserving of a 10/10 is this game.

What an absolutely breathtaking experience through and through. A fantastic story with extremely interesting characters, remarkably well written and bursting with lore and personality.

It might just be because Im complete sucker for Norse mythology, but the way they handled was perfection.

My absolute favourite part is how it builds its world without showing its hand. Other than the tease at the very end you never see Thor and you definitely never see Odin. But seeing his sons and his brother, and getting all these different pieces of the history from Mimir...its a true epic. You know they say show dont tell but in certain cases like this theres definitely an exception. When you tell and dont show, and you continue to build this world and these characters, it elevates it far beyond what video games typically were.

Like try to imagine this God of War a generation or two ago. You would have got a cutscene explaining everything in the beginning of the game. You would have probably met a Thor and Odin a few times and maybe if they were a little smarter they would have saved Odin for the 5th game but you definitely would have been fighting Thor throughout the game probably similar to Baldur.

I havent even talked about how good the father and son dynamic is, the character growth. Fuck.

My only gripe is it could use a few more bosses. But in the grand scheme of things its a minor gripe. Its still a 10/10 in every sense imaginable.
