[@luckydannumber2]

One thing I hated about God of War Ragnarok they had no clue how Odin or Loki acted nor any idea on Norse Mythology. Odin acted more like Loki, wanted to live instead of die, so he would have prevented Ragnarok on purpose. Loki- Kratos son acted more like Odin, he would put his life on the line to save his father and do what it takes to win. Odin would have died in war or battle and would not chicken out which was loki in th game. So in otherwords writers had no idea what Norse mythos is and would explain why Tyr attacked Odin cause he knew he wasn't Odin.

@@Overphased Bar some Gods and personalities in the original GOW games did follow Greek Mythos. If you are saying that the original GOW games did deviate that much you have to give several strong examples which you didn't.
