If you read the codex in the dlc about Mimir, Kratos writes how much he cares about Mimir.

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

Well they spent 3 years together from GOW 2018 to GOWR. Meaning they have probably chat every single day as he does not call Mimir head anymore but instead by his name now and Mimir calls Kratos by his as well. If you really think about it Kratos didnt really have any friends in the franchise prior to this game. He was always basically going it solo and after losing his wife and daughter it broke him even more too.

Behavioral theraphy and "doing" in general has great effect on men. I have seen soldiers struggle with theraphy and medication for years. And they get send for a month to build housing and bridges, dig wells etc and you would be suprised how better they get. Training martial arts, helping animal shelters build dog houses.

[@TheNamesBondJamesBondJames]

His healing has nothing to do with it. The reason the ash is fading from his skin is most likely due to him coming into servitude as a god of war, again. But this time it's for a good cause. Redemption. Him being revered & worshipped as a good god & living up to that title plays a huge part in it. The fact that Kratos is coming into servitude & being worshipped is what signifies his redemption & that's counteracting with his curse. Kratos accepting his past sins, embracing who he is, redeeming himself, servitude, being worshipped is what the DLC was all about. Hope. That is why the ash is fading.

He’s slumped back with his fist resting on his chin. But the current Kratos sits with a firm dedication and maturity that shows he is fully ready to take on the responsibilities that entail being the God of War.

Younger Kratos also has this permanent vitriolic scowl on him at all times, and his eyes seem to glow in the shadow a bit. Meanwhile, older Kratos's face is much more solemn and softer, with a darker tint in his eyes.

You also missed the Aztec macuahuitl he pulls out.

[@jurtheorc8117]

@AngiraBlu You may like the lead villain/antagonist of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Gemini. The setting is like a prehistoric land full of sapient monster creatures and freaks with few humans, and Gemini herself is feared throughout the game's land for just possessing a Macuahuitl. Or *the* Macuahuitl, rather. Gemini herself is a tall, monstrous multi-headed woman whose heads are slowly dying off. She enforces the One Law throughout the land, which is an important part and theme of the story. It goes that anyone can challenge one another before a physical altercation to a game of dice, called The Ritual. You offer up an Artifact, you and the opponent roll your dice on a circular leather mat divided in four quadrants, and then take turns placing modifiers that affect the dice. Often based on proximity, a circular range, or a straight line. The one with the highest score at the end wins and gets to spend their Artifact. The consequence of this can be stuff like making the opponent drink poison, be chased by bees and stung if he keeps standing still, get tethered to a small pole by a rope tied to their ankle, or be bound to a Pact Artifact and can then be summoned in a later fight through a Summon Artifact. Gemini's Prime Artifact is simple as fup. She gets a free first hit. Most Zenos, the inhabitants of the world, are quite sturdy and rarely if ever does anyone truly get killed. But the local merchant Eo explicitly states that one hit from the Macuahuitl is enough to almost kill anyone. Clash: AoC is pretty small in scale and grandeur compared to GOW, but still very much a story worth experiencing with solid gameplay. Not talking exclusively about the Ritual, which is almost fully optional, but about the 3D melee combat as well, with different combat stances and attacks to switch between. And I reckon that this importance around a Macuahuitl within a fictional setting may have made you quite happy.

Tyr the god of travels and therapy. Kratos, the god of self reflection. 😂 Kratos' lines are the most thoughtful and epic lines I've ever heard. No words were wasted. Each word perfectly capturing his heartfelt emotions. Fantastic writing and amazing delivery.

[@Zac_Frost]

I'd say Tyr has taken Odin's title as God of Wisdom, with Kratos now being the God of Hope.

[@DeathRebel369]

It was an absolute joy revisiting the old monsters in god of war. Even the banter with helios was fun. I wish he got to face off against the gods he had slain from olympus but this was def a very enjoyable DLC.

[@UnBanMePls1]

The change from kratos’ old throne being dawned with gold and magnificence changing to his new throne which has none of that and more humble, shows the character development well

[@voryndagothDL]

Words cannot describe how much I love these games. Thank you for your service in delivering this fine story to those of us without the funds for a PS5

You guys are the best. From the first God of War edit, I've never missed an episode. Any big recommendations for the last year or so? Some of your favorite game movies? Hard to keep up. Maybe do an anual top 10! Hm?

That's a good idea actually, I think I'll do that for the end of the year on a community post. I'd have to think about it tbh, but wonderful idea!

@@carpeimodiemI'm a random person on the internet, but would you mind if i shared some game titles with you as well? They may prove interesting, and a number of them could do with being more known.

@@jurtheorc8117 for sure! Any game with a great story that edits well into a game movie is always great to hear about. i don't have time to play any these days. So that's the next best thing. A lot of great games don't make for very good game movie edits. And there are only so many obvious ones like God of War and Last of Us. I'm looking for the ones that aren't so obvious.

[@jurtheorc8117]

@@carpeimodiem Got you! Considering the caveat of time management that you describe, and thus game *movies* more specifically making a better time for you, the suggestions i could give get shortened down a bit. (Writing this as i've almost finished my comment: I've written this all from the assumption you mainly look up cutscene videos rather than gameplay videos of a full game. And be warned, the comment's a biggun) I think Clash: Artifacts of Chaos may count. It's got a similar perspective to Norse Era GoW, but is set in a prehistoric fantasy world full of sapient monsters and rarely a human in sight. Great art direction and design, well voice-acted too and really incredible music. Story's about a martial artist hermit named Pseudo, who comes to take a boy under his care after a mercenary for the local tyrant killed the Boy's grandfather. So now he tries to help the boy find a new safe home or a caretaker, but the tyrant's mercenaries are a recurring threat. (At different instances in the game, you can hear a mercenary talk about their reasonings why they do what they do, provided you don't have their attention yet). Pseudo and the Boy's story doesn't have a lot of big conversation moments like in GoW, but the moments together that they do have are good and heartening stuff. Some philosophical musings between the two as well. No Straight Roads is very good as well, being set in a world where music powers the city the game is set in and said city is divided in different districts governed by a different artist-- all of which are under employ of the main record label. Very colorful, cartoonish, characters are representations of why people make music and shows different downsides of music as an industry. It's at first shown as a Rock vs EDM type thing, but the game itself bleeds love to music as a whole. Perhaps... Soulstice. I'm placing an asterisk with that one. Soulstice is a character action/hack-and-slash type game that has a lot of cutscenes, and there's some optional dialogues with the merchant character that expand upon the world beyond what we get to see. General throughline is a "save the world/prevent calamity" type deal, but the lead protagonists are sisters of each other, with one of them being dead and the other carrying a huge boatload of baggage over it. Reason for the asterisk is that the "in-the-mind" memory segments, and aforementioned chats with the merchant (if you can find a video that included them), don't have a lot that is visually interesting going on. Otherwise, the presentation, cinematography and cutscenes are super well done, especially for being the first real *big* game by its respective dev studio. Others I would have recommended would have included the games by Ska Studios (Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile) and Cookie Cutter. But Ska Studios' games are much more focused on action than story, played well in short bursts, with in Charlie Murder's case the story being clarified through other means than cutscenes. And Cookie Cutter's not actually out yet. That one's a deliberately over-the-top, irreverent, at times edgy cyberpunk/sci-fi metroidvania about an android named Cherry on a quest to save her beloved from a perverse tyrannous maniac, set on a world surrounded by a sapient energy source. But it seems like not all cutscenes are voice acted (some side NPCs for example have no voice acting) which the dev hopes to undo with enough sales. There are some philosophical musings, such as Cherry and her companion Regina discussing what gods are and why humans have them, are based on an instance from a two-year old demo. So for all its over-the-topness it does seem like it wants to offer some food for thought as well. Even if the games mentioned here may not be up your alley, i hope there's interesting bits to them for you and that you may spread word on them. *ALSO! The Darksiders games may prove interesting in terms of game movies. Especially Darksiders 1 seems to be strong in cinematography. 2 less so, but not a bad story by any means. (main character Death in 2 has a bit more sass than War from Darksiders 1). 3 is a bit divisive, seems to be somewhere between 1 and 2 in terms of quality of their cutscenes. Does have a great scene of Fury confronting the Deadly Sin of Lust, in a way that isn't reduced to being mainly sexual desire. And there's also Darksiders Genesis. Cutscenes are more like animatics, though well-drawn and great voice acting. And each level has one more intimate conversation between the two playable Horsemen (War and Strife) about their current mission, their place in it, and how they view themselves. As those happen somewhere within the level, they're not nearly as interesting to look at. From that view, Darksiders Genesis and 2 may generally be more enjoyable for you to listen to while working, rather than making time to actually look at what happens. But i can't say for sure. Also also, the Lords of Shadow games. Yet again greatly voice acted, and 1 has each chapter introduction narrated by Patrick Stewart's character from a storybook. Cutscenes are generally good too, but the Patrick Stewart narrations may prove nicer to just have up in the background while doing something else. 2's story has no narrations, does have great voice acting and good cinematography, but the story's generally not held in nearly as high regard as 1's. I personally liked it, but there are confusing elements to it. Though yet again, like with Darksiders 3, very strong moments as well. Very big comment on my end, apologies for it taking up a lot of your time, but if you took the time to read through it all: Thank you very much for doing so. Yet again i hope the games mentioned here may at the very least prove interesting, even if they're not fully up your alley, and hope you may share word of them to people that you think may find them neat. Especially Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Soulstice and Cookie Cutter.

This dlc was such a love letter to everyone who grew up with this series. Most of us were kids when we started playing this game. Now the same bunch of us have families and responsibilities of our own. It’s almost like a good chunk of us have matured with Kratos all these years. Most of the series and franchises I’ve stayed attached to started feeling worn and old but man I could eat this up forever I think.

I think coming to terms with his past made this dlc one of the most heartwarming feelings ever and it finally gave a good end note to who kratos truly is. I wish they would have said the reason why he should be God of war again is because war is not his first resort anymore it is not a threat but a promise it is not tyranny but duty. Thankyou for making a character that has grown with allot of us ❤

[@Deni_Sokolovic]

This was perfect. I loved everything about this DLC. Revisiting Kratos' past and watching him grow and accept the actions of his younger self. There are many words that I would use to describe this feeling, but I think that I'll just leave it at that. P.S. - Good to know that Tyr was a tourist.

[@darinlunderman8063]

Kratos feeling genuine remorse over what he did to the Boat Captain and for everyone else on the doomed fleet is actually nice. I've always felt that the Boat Captain & passenger's deaths were just so unnecessarily cruel & nihilistic, even comparing it to the consequences of Kratos' actions in GOW3. Its good to know that Kratos truly does have a conscience and didn't just forget about the first onscreen casualties in the series.

[@mal7524]

God, they just keep making this series better. I am very satisfied with this as an ending for Kratos. Also, It was unbelievably badass watching two gods of war spar using weapons from a myriad of cultures.

Hades would've made sense to show up, Hades had actual, legit grievances with Kratos, regardless of context, Hades had done absolutely nothing wrong towards Kratos, but Kratos basically wrecked everything Hades cared about, all Hades was doing, even while infected with the evils of the Box, was taking revenge for all the wrongs Kratos had committed towards him.

[@pauloarceo3035]

Good times brings bad people. Prosperity in the lands made people selfish, hateful, arrogant. Kratos in all his wisdom chose not to control directly, like the mistakes he did in the past, but rather, try to guide and influence people to be good, to allow them to learn and be better. Thus so he sent down his son, Loki, to lead the flock to the righteous path. To teach people to turn the other cheek, to teach people not to cast the stone at others, to show magic tricks like turning water into wine or necromancy like that lazarus guy idk.

[@RandyButternips]

[@the_ragingviking]

I watched the GOW and GOW:R game movies from here, and seeing this one is just as good as those were. Christopher Judge gives Kratos so much depth, so much soul, emotion, even with things as simple as an affirming grunt or his speech there at the end of Valhalla...There's raw feeling in everything said and done. He did Kratos justice.

[@hagamapama]

He didn't just do Kratos justice. He and the scriptwriters gave us the perfect quintessential Kratos. Still who he always was, but now with wisdom of experience and loved ones around him to help him not sink into his former depths.

[@cyanCrusader]

I think it says a lot about Kratos's progression that when Helios needles him with a "Not even a Hello?" that Kratos actually *does* give a resigned but polite "Hello", and even calls him by name. Shows how much discipline he's gained over himself, and how much he carries himself as changed as he's grown wiser and more patient. It's also really funny.

[@LonelyPandora]

18:06 "A symbol can't be slain, destroyed or ignored. The best measure is often to reclaim it. Redefine it. Remind us it's not the throne but the god who sits in it." That is best quote I've ever heard and the most truthful one if you think about every symbol we've seen throughout history.

[@conmanscomin]

That ending was awesome man, how can you not love Kratos 🥲

[@nhatbachnguyen9611]

Damn, a really well done DLC. Though I really wish they added Pandora as substitute for Atreus. I would say that Kratos's therapy would go on alot smoother had she appeared with him, kinda like a contrast with Helios condemning him....Then again I imagine were that to be the case, he'll probably grabbed her and just hightailed out of there, general be damn. If she could make young Kratos go "find another way" to kill dear old dad. Old Kratos would dote on her so much Atreus would question his own legitimacy. And instead of Magni and Modi (kinda lame tbh), they could've added Heracles, Hades, Poseidon or even Zeus himself and just when he's about kill them, they changed into Athena taunting him (Pandora would be a GREAT help in this case)

[@TGPDrunknHick]

Helios is interesting because while he's echoing Kratos own doubts about himself, he's also voicing most of the common criticisms of Kratos as a character in the original series. he's there to help contrast how Kratos has always been more complicated than people think even if not exactly justifiable in his actions and choices.
