Ye, a lot of Atreus' anger comes from frustration that he has to follow Kratos' rules. So when he finds out that he is one of the beings in legends that seemingly have no rules? Of course the kid is going to have a power trip.

@Becker Elaywan ehh, from experience. Drinking a glass of wine at age 14 doesn't make you drunk. But again, this is a game and games tend to like making their characters drunk as soon as they touch a bottle.

@@DissedRedEngie I know this is anecdote but a single (full) glass of wine could easily put alot of non drinkers into a fairly inebriated state, especially a child.

[@Ekami-chan]

Um, no, shift is because even though Kratos tries, he doesn't convey his message well, saying "we are not men, we're gods and have far greater responsibility" is basically asking for Atreus to develop "Screw everyone else, we're better." Mentality.

[@calebbarlow9714]

Nah, the thing with raising children is it’s always better to be honest, that’s how you mold them from a young age, the shift was due to Kratos withholding the information for too long. If he would’ve raised his son as a god he would’ve had a much easier time teaching him how to be responsible and use his powers wisely, and Atreus good nature would’ve helped that along as well, but by waiting too long and dumping it on him all at once, it caused a huge shift in Atreus whole worldview in one moment, something like that can change you for the worse

[@pokegamer1216]

One fun fact about Atreus being Loki, they went further with this and put some names in norse letters showing that Faye was actually Laufey and the giants gave Kratos the name Fárbauti, which in the original Norse myths are Loki's parents. Since not much is known about Fárbauti, they were able to write Kratos as him without any issue.

That’s one of the things that makes these games so good. It’s the air of mystery of what’s to come that keeps us hooked.

There’s not a single hour of gameplay that doesn’t have some sort of plot development and for a game that was continued years on from the original story line it did a fantastic job (my game of 2018 easily, 10/10) now when GoW:Ragnarok comes out they’ll definitely fix the problems and make the high points even higher

Something that a lot of people miss in this game is that Baldur isn't entirely a callback to Greek arc Kratos. He's only half. Yes, Baldur is blinded by vengeance, but he lacks the selfishness that Kratos had. Freya has KRatos' selfishness. She even admits that her measures taken to protect Baldur were hurting him, and explicitly refuses to undo them because those protections were for HER benefit, not his. Freya is every bit as selfish as Kratos used to be, and his recognition and rejection of this selfishness is just as important as his rejection of Baldur's vengeance.

I feel like you're missing out on how devastating, psychologically scarring Baldurs life - directly because of his mother was. Arguably even worse than what the gods did to Kratos. He essentially lived in a form of solitary confinement for thousands upon thousands of years. Feeling nothing of the outside world. Not the touch the touch of a woman, the thrill of doing something dangerous, nothing. In his mind forever. No way out of being cursed eternally.

My favorite part of this game is the storm when Atreus is yelling at Sindri. Kratus knew what the storm meant but the game never talks about it.

[@sillygoose7646]

One of my favorite things about this game is all the little glances and nods the characters do. When Freya asks Atreus to get herbs from her garden, he looks to Kratos for permission, and only leaves once he nods yes. Then, when Freya is about to put the protective rune on his neck, Kratos glances down to Atreus, reminding himself why he’s doing this.

I came across this channel a couple days ago and this video popped up. Watched it all and I will admit I cried. This game came out in a very turbulent time with me and my father. Just as Atreus says, “I don’t know him and he doesn’t know me.” I spent 20 years like that. And looking back on it, GOW, while not everyone’s cup of tea, really resonated with me for the story aspects. My father and I grew distant after many years. It was a story I understood from a father and son standpoint. But my father loved watching me play video games growing up as it brought a smile to my face and watching him play games such as Crash Bandicoot or helping him by giving him further insight was something we bonded over. I remember my dad telling me a couple years ago about this game, “I’ve never seen you be so cheerful about a game. And coming into your room and seeing your smile, it brought me joy, even if it was for just a while.” This game was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful if only for a little while.

42:30: One thing worthy of note in the final battle which ties into Freya being unable to cause harm: In the stage when Kratos is in the pit with Baldur and Baldur is constantly joined by creatures Freya summons, many players may attack them just because they are there and it's a video game. The fact is, these creatures are incapable of doing the slightest damage to Kratos, and when one is on his back "attacking" him, *_Baldur's_*_ attacks can't harm Kratos, either._ However, when Kratos flips one of them off of his own back, it usually knocks Baldur down, giving Kratos a chance to sneak in an attack. The whole situation plays so completely against video game reflexes and expectations, and it does it so subtly that players can finish the fight and never know that they were squandering their greatest advantage. That deserves a win.

[@fruitdude7274]

one of my favorite things about the 1st Helheim section is that Kratos actually looks remorcfully about k!lling the ogre.

Its a neat detail that after Atreus complaints about how Kratos "only takes to him when he wants something", Kratos becomes way more vocal during gameplay.
