God of War (2018) - God of War - Story Trailer | PS4

Well this was… Different

I don't know how to feel really. I know that a sequel needs to try new things, but this just feels like a hopeless leap in reaching the recent "movie game about bonding, hope and feels" that the Last of Us started.

Reviewing the trailer here, not the game yet, but… God, really? Mellow music? Whimsical and poetical atmosphere? Philosophical questioning of ethics and life? Quippy well natured humor? I can't really take this serious when it's presented by Kratons with a lumberjack beard, the guy that for four games straight was making ground beef of everything and everyone that appeared in front of him while the sinphony the hell played an soundtrack that would make while sinphonias from hell played the soundtrack that would make even Vasilyevich Alexandrov piss his pants, the guy who killed the fuckinh universe and them himself. And NOW he feels bad?

I not saying that Krato was shallow, i'm saying that was is simple, his rage was all the build and fuel of his character as a reference to the factors of extrapolations and great feats caused by strong human emotions aways present in greek legends. And now the religion-verse that shows his less savage side is… Nordic?
