God of War Ragnarok’s recap video makes the game’s story more confusing

That is only a wild guess, however I don’t assume I’ll be the one individual whose first God of Battle recreation might be God of Battle Ragnarök. Fortunately for me, the builders already anticipated gamers who didn’t play God of Battle (2018). As you boot up Ragnarök a really handy possibility seems on prime of the principle menu, titled “God of Battle recap.”

At first, I believed it might assist of us like me go into Ragnarök realizing confidently what occurred within the earlier recreation and what to anticipate on this recreation. Nonetheless, after watching it, I’m extra satisfied that it’s truly supposed for individuals who simply haven’t performed God of Battle shortly. That’s as a result of the minute-and-a-half-long video incoherently jumps from scene to scene, and it will get delivered with out context and or any precise direct plot abstract of the primary recreation. Although I watched it, I’ve no clue what occurred. So I made a decision it might be humorous to jot down a submit about what I believe occurred in God of Battle based mostly on the official recap in Ragnarök’s principal menu.

Let’s start.

There’s an enormous, robust bearded man named Kratos and a bit little one named Atreus. I can determine a minimum of this a lot out as a result of, shock, I knew who they had been already. The sport begins as a result of Atreus’ mom passes away and he and his father need to unfold her ashes on a mountain peak.

It looks like a reasonably troublesome process as a result of a random girl says that the area is a realm of the gods. I don’t know if that’s the area of the mountain they should go to, however I’m going to imagine that it’s, as a result of why on Earth would they need to go there in any other case. Kratos tells somebody they’re a god; nevertheless, I can’t inform if it’s being addressed to Atreus or to this girl, Freya. I’m assuming it’s Freya, as a result of the recap exhibits her utilizing magical powers that may make vegetation develop, and she or he refers to being the chief of the Vanir.

Kratos cuts the top off a man named Mimir after which promptly presents it to an enormous dragon factor. I don’t know why Mimir would invite Kratos to chop off his head, however the clip exhibits Kratos lifting a head up, so I believe Kratos did the factor. Mimir mentions Kratos killing the youngsters of Odin, who I’m guessing are gods. Then Kratos provides a li’l sizzling gossip about himself. Apparently he selected to grow to be a person, however truly he’s a god. So I don’t know if he’s a god or a person or only a actually robust man now.

Atreus learns he’s a god. He says he’s an enormous however he seems to be to be a standard top to me. That leads Atreus to assume he can do no matter he desires as a god, so then he goes and kills one other god. (This god doesn’t seem to place up a battle in opposition to a toddler, in some way.) Kratos appears very upset as a result of he shouts and tells Atreus that there are penalties for those who kill a god.

At this level, the story will get further dramatic. Another dude named Baldur enters the image. He doesn’t appear to love Kratos or Freya. And I’m assuming that Kratos and Freya linked up once more, so I suppose Freya serves as a information to Kratos. However now every part appears unhealthy as a result of this Baldur man will get pissed, and Kratos twists his head and kills him. I don’t actually know why he’s pissed, however it is perhaps as a result of Atreus actually killed a god. In the meantime Freya mourns Baldur’s passing and calls him her boy, so I’m assuming that’s her son.

Then Atreus mentions that somebody referred to as him Loki and he asks about that. Kratos doesn’t appear to care about explaining something! He deflects Atreus’ query. So I’m assuming Atreus isn’t only a god however an extra-special god as a result of Loki is a reasonably essential Marvel character.

In the long run, we see them excessive up within the clouds and considerably at peace, so it looks like they accomplished their aim of spreading the ashes. (Though as soon as once more, I want I knew why that was essential.) The recap doesn’t say if Atreus is straight associated to Kratos, which appears fairly dang essential. Total, it seems to be like there are a complete lot of unresolved plot factors from the primary recreation that can get developed in Ragnarök. The recap wasn’t superb, however you recognize what? I’ve simply resigned myself to wanting up wikis after I want some further background.
