And we know Kratos will visit another land, and that he will likely confront a likely corrupted Patheon only to set things right. After all one hopes that conflict can bring about a better tomorrow if it comes to bear.

This was very nice and a good wrap up for recent events regarding Kratos’s journey. Helios as a head swapping places with mimir was funny af. Have to say, Tyr was bringing the heat in those fights, with all the weapons he’s learned, possibly mastered through his travels throughout realms and learning from other pantheons. He truly embodies the Norse God of War mantle that Kratos showed great respect for, which I have to say, is awesome af writing. Tyr and Kratos sparring and gleaming in what they’ve learned exerting themselves in combat is literally god tier therapy on some level we all wish we got 😂

Man, GoW has come such a long way since I was a kid. When I was 16 playing this, it was just 2--D violence going fight to fight being angry, and testosterone. Then when they revamped it in 2018, I never thought I would take lessons on how to be a better father from Kratos. The lessons I learned were patience and empathy towards someone who was once in their shoes, a kid. And now I am learning other philosophical things, that really hit home and is ridiculous. It's just ironic and impactful what a character Kratos has become. It's real growth and relatable, hints why it's such a great and beautiful story of masculinity and personal growth. I hope we can see more stories like this in the future, but I appreciate what a gem it is now.

"You have always been more than what others saw" Don't think there's a better way to describe the first saga, or the entirety of God of War really. God of War has always had this stigma of 'angry hack and slash with little depth", to the point where people today still believe younger Kratos is better, and even stronger, than his current self and that before 2018 the games were extremely shallow. It's a good way to both self-reflect and really encapsulate what this series has been like. I don't know if we'll get a continuation of this story, more than likely if we do it'll be as Atreus, as Loki, God of Mischief. But whatever we get i'll always have been glad to have gone through Kratos' entire journey, it's really a masterpiece in the gaming world

This just shows how much Kratos has developed through out the games this is top tier character development. And I actually wouldn't mind if they make Kratos not the main protagonist in the next God of War game, like we can just see him as a side character or just flashbacks of him. This DLC pretty much is already a good ending to close the Kratos chapter and start anew.

I like that after all the time we spent in game. Kratos’ language proficiency has increased significantly. Small details that show he has learned a lot over the course of his journey in this world.

This DLC feels like a bridge to the next game. Tyr boss fights he uses weapons from Egypt and Aztec mythology. That’s already a big hint.

@@Kratos_Messi7050 Mimir is probably going to stay with Sigrun as i can't imagine him wanting to travel to who knows what dangerous realms as a talking head only for him to barely provide much wisdom in places which he doesn't personally know. That said i would love it if he did tagged along with Kratos in future adventures.

There were so many amazing things done in this storyline, the entire Norse Saga of God of War has been amazing and this, this is a truly superb ending for Kratos. This very well may be the last canon addition to God of War we ever get and it feels so *complete* and *heavy*. We rarely see works of fiction where it's fully grown adults finding themselves and becoming whole, rarely see stories where it's more than just 'I must overcome my limits' or 'I must learn to accept my friends' help', but we got one in God of War 4 and 5 and now this DLC. Whoever wrote these games' scripts deserve so much praise and thanks.

Was really hoping for a Zues or young Kratos fight, I think it would've topped it off. We probably won't ever get that now that this chapter for him is over.

Young Kratos fight would have been on point, as that's functionally what Kratos has been doing all this time. But I don't think Zeus would fit. Notice all the people he's killed who have returned are the ones he regrets? Magni and Modi were basically pawns of Odin, and the sons of parents who honestly loved them (If being flawed themselves). Helios was a god he slaughtered who did not deserve his fate. But Zeus? Zeus *absolutely* had it coming. I think the only regret Kratos had about killing Zeus was that there was so much collateral damage getting there. Zeus was as bad as Odin, if not worse.

a cool part I like about the ending cutscene is that when he sits down he's lit up in a glow that makes his skin look a little more natural instead of it's usual ashen white. Showing he's moved on from the sins of his past by temporarily cleansing him of the one that catalyzed the entire series.
