God of War (2018) moves Kratos away from Greece and into Norse mythology. After his wife’s death, he and his son Atreus set out to scatter her ashes from the highest peak in the nine realms, but gods like Baldur are hunting them.
Santa Monica Studio’s reboot traded the old camera and button mashing for a close over the shoulder view, a single take presentation and a more emotional story. It won Game of the Year at The Game Awards and came to PC in 2022 with ultrawide monitors, NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR.
