[@soulstalker4624]

@@rayaanfarid9105 Im gonna guess that the next game is gonna be in Egypt and will start without Kratos as a protagonist and without Atreus as a protagonist at the beginning, but first introduce what is the next God of War, Montu. So my close guess is that it will begin with Montu having his journey begin, and in the middle act somehow Kratos will be introduced. It's just a guess so I may be way off to what the Devs intend to do for the next path. Maybe we will get some Atreus DLC with his path to bring back all the giants.

It’s just so amazing how they were able to show so much of Sindri’s grief in a short time frame. Especially the part where Kratos try’s to comfort him seeing as he know the best about what’s going through Sindris head, because at the end of it all he made it so he wouldn’t be able to see his brother after he dies see as he took his own brother afterlife. You can see it perfectly when he looks at Kratos, first anger, In his mind Kratos is “at fualt” just as much as Atreus. Surprise because Kratos looks ay him not with any anger or with his normal scowl but understanding. Then grief and sadness return with a little bit of acceptance

37:12 This moment. This moment right here reflects something much deeper than Kratos becoming the All father. Look at his portrait closely. His skin is no longer pale like snow, but golden in color. They flow away from him and to the rest of the world. By the gods, Kratos' ashes are taken away from his skin once again. He collapses because everything that he has done can be redeemed, everything that was once in the past can now remain there. His wife, his daughter, his brother, Faye. His curse ends as he assumes his new role as savior and leader. The ashes of his old family now travel and now become one with the realms. The Ghost of Sparta will die. Kratos remains, a redeemed warrior who not only has a new purpose, but now can forgive himself. A masterpiece of a game, a masterpiece of a story.

Well, if the story is the only thing you are looking for from an extend ok, but the game is far from a masterpeice. God of war if my favorite franchise of all time and this one suffered a lot from bad pacing, meaningless characters, dated gameplay that are in all sony games since the past 10 years, dated facial animations during dialogues and way way way too much invisible walls. I know its a linear game and not an open world but dawm even in a small level you see grass and a puddle of water you cannot even go in the puddle and there is a invisible wall you cannot even walk on the grass lol. The story was good, but the gameplay was repetitive and the journey was less enjoyable than the 2018 one and way less enjoyable than the one back then. Seems nowday you only have to nail the story(Witch is hard to do i know it) If the story is good wioth average gameplay you have a masterpeice and if you have average story with great gameplay you have a flop.

[@Goetia544]

Sindri coming out of nowhere and smashing the orb with Odin’s soul was unintentionally hilarious.

[@SchwererGustavThe800mm]

Honestly I thought that shit was hilarious and fitting. TLDR: Odins been reincarnated as Sindri's blacksmithing hammer Think about this: Odin has tormented and hurt everyone in the group in some way, shape or form. But NONE of them lost a loved one SPECIFICALLY to Odins hands except Sindri. (Thrud and Sif are honorable mentions but they werent apart of the group when Odin did what he did to Brok.) Odin personally drove a knife throught Sindri's brothers heart. You cant get anymore personal than that, Sindri was the worst affected and in a far worst way than ANYONE else. So in my opinion he had every right to make the call on whether Odin lived on in spirit or faded away into oblivion. I think he made the right call and now I'm curious, because if a soul can envelop and fuze to objects (Fenrir to Atreus's knife) whose to say the hammer Sindri used to crush Odins marble didnt get imbued with Odins soul?? Sindri knows nothing about giant magic and Atreus didnt mention to him that it was indeed possible for souls to enhabit objects, I got a feeling that my hunch aint to far off.

If this is the case, Odin suffers a fate that might as well be worse than death - because he still has massive power. As I already said - he's trapped. With the worst headache imaginable.

I feared that this might be the last we see of Kratos, however this ending is so beautiful. Simply because, now Kratos is completely free, from the shackles of his past, the safety of his son, the prophecies of his death etc. Since he has only known violence and hatred and was seldom loved, he sees a future that he is worshipped, the very love Odin mocked Kratos of not having. Now he gets to become a better god, that aids and protects everyone, not because his goals align with theirs, but truly of the kindness of his own heart. Kratos now has a dream, a dream that I hope we get to see Kratos fulfill. He looks up to Tyr as he is a peaceful God of War and probably try to become a protector of peace rather than a bringer of war. As of right now, I believe we might see the Celtic and Western European fairy tales since they've been hinted so much with Mimir, he tells lots of stories of him being part of a forest, mentions the Kelpie that sends them to the Norns, who then identify him as Puck, one of King Oberon's servants, the King of the Fairies. Also, while going to the Norns, Sigrun states that Mimir has failed Titania, Oberon's wife, who apparently used her like Odin did with Freya. Honestly can't wait to see Kratos's story as it seems that his saga as better god has just begun.

The Ragnarok wasn't the end of thing. But rather, a new beginning. When the whole realm gone silent, a new birth came to take it's place amongs them. Two human survivors who hide underneath the world Tree would rebuild Midgard from the Chaos. Baldur who was dead would came back to life. Alongside him is Modi and Magni, the last Aesir. The Two Human would gave birth to the new life, and the cycle of Norse would continue.

[@hartantoanggoro]

But Odin, he fears death and willing to do anything to delay his own end by any means necessary.
