Whereas the probabilities of Kratos’ victory could have been boosted by the latest launch of God of Conflict Ragnarok, he’s undeniably an iconic character who has gone by way of a few of the best character progress we have seen out and in of video video games. I imply, we gave each 2018’s God of Conflict and this 12 months’s God of Conflict Ragnarok a ten/10, and an enormous purpose why was Kratos and Atreus’ transferring journey outdoors of the fight and offended screams.
The highway to PlayStation glory was a troublesome one, nonetheless, and Uncharted’s Nathan Drake put up a superb combat and earned second place with a win proportion of 83.2%.
