I Had High Expectations For God Of War.

[@DarkKnight6six6]

Slight correction, the thing you read said Kratos was Roman, he's actually Greek

[@Bayleaf6399]

Was just about to comment that, thank you

[@ZeallustImmortal]

BIG difference BTW

[@MadMinstrel]

He's Spartan. Sparta may be part of Greece now, but he'd chop your head off if you said that to his face.

[@Siris765]

For Part 2 I recommend: Lullaby of the Giants Magni and Modi Echoes of an Old Life Deliverance Salvation

[@guccipucci3941]

Lullaby and Deliverance are too 5 tracks in the game how are they not in this video 😢

[@dragosmahuev4686]

There are some insane themes in Ragnarok as well. Atreus Theme, Hammer of Thor, Master Thyself and Clearing the Mind are 100% worth listening.

[@grubbyarmadillo9863]

Don’t forget The Path

[@Bosston62]

Plus the credit song “Blood upon the Snow” is just incredible

[@lucashubbard5998]

As well as Svartalfheim!

[@BioFox08]

Timestamps! 0:07 God of War 5:13 Ashes 11:29 The Dragon 15:22 Valkyries 20:34 The Summit

[@crashwithkirby6708]

“Oh my god… of war” Don’t worry, we’ve all made that joke, whether we like to admit it or not.

[@Cursed394]

Hands down the most niche “I know that name” I have ever heard in any video 😂

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Three other tracks from this game that you absolutely need to listen and react to are "Lullaby Of The Giants", "The Stone Mason", and "Echoes Of An Old Life". And for the third one, you NEED to listen to any version that says "full in-game version" in the title.

[@2xRainb0w]

The whole soundtrack really

[@nezfromhki]

FYI the lyrics are (from what I remember) mostly in Icelandic, since it's the language that is still closest to what Old Norse would have sounded like.

[@phntmthf5505]

I thought they were straight up in Old Norse, since we have a fair bit of it in writing and a solid idea of how it sounds

[@timwhitman3207]

Something that you'll miss out on just listening to the soundtrack as full songs (you def need to play God of War on your husband's new PS5, Emily) is the way the main theme is used at specific moments throughout the game. Kratos is trying to hide who he is/was, both from himself and his son, and in the moments when his composure slips and he starts to fall back into his old, vengeful self, those first few chords play. Every. Single. Time. Those 3 notes symbolize rage. When you hear them, someone is going to die. Violently.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Valiant effort not getting emotional during 'Ashes', because it gets _me_ every time. It's the track that plays over the scene of Kratos and Atreus preparing and lighting the funeral pyre for Faye, the wife and mother whose ashes they're questing to deliver -- every time those high vocals come in, I'm brought back to the moments I've had to say goodbye to those closest to me. I dunno if the _God of War_ franchise is up your alley, but it's on PS5 as well if you decide you want to see some of these tracks in-context too!

[@zenyattafgc]

"To be effective in combat, a warrior must not feel for his enemy."

[@ancientbruh]

words that he now regrets

[@unlimited971]

This composer has touched many things. Best godzilla ost theme in recent years and many others

[@darkarpatron]

^This^

[@unlimited971]

Thing is the valkyries theme is progressive by each ones that you fight until the last one that give the full song

[@onerule1915]

God this score is top-notch . Really does justice to the whole Story. Also Kratos has the greatest Character development in pop culture history.

[@kylejohnson3889]

Literally the first 20 seconds…stunned silence and one word….woah…..yup basically summarized the entire GOW series

[@natotater]

"Valkyries" plays during perhaps one of the most difficult optional boss fights ever conceived. Throughout the game you can fight a series of Valkyries, each with some unique twist to their attacks. Eventually, once you've defeated them all, you face off against Sigrun, the Queen of the Valkyries, who has every single unique attack that the previous Valkyries had. So by the time you face her, you've learned how to deal with all of these moves, but figuring out how to deal with all of them at once is absolutely brutal and takes every ounce of concentration. It took me several days and probably 20-30 attempts to beat.

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

Ragnarok has an even better Main Theme, if you can believe it.

[@KanoSJ]

@@ConnorEllisMusic yeah Ragnarok’s is better because it merges a few extra themes (Atreus’ and Faye’s mainly)

[@Knightlight-kw9sh]

You MUST do some tracks from God of War Ragnarok as well, some great stuff by Bear there as well

[@Stincinati]

Man going back to Ashes after the revelation of who sung it being revealed in Ragnarok just hits you in the feels

[@DanVic-dy1wb]

You should check out the old god of war games soundtrack as well, they are top notch!

[@MannerdDesert7]

Probably should have gone with Magni & Modi & Deliverance over Valkyries & the Summit, guess you can listen to them in a part 2 (I'd recommend listening to the older games before doing a part 2)

[@Klohpp]

You should really listen to Bears score for Godzilla: King of the Monsters! Stand out tracks are, Godzilla Main Title, Old RIvals, Rebirth, Battle in Boston, and King Of The Monsters!

[@2xRainb0w]

I think you should play the game to fully grasp how amazing this soundtrack is and what it can make you feel

[@f23as]

Another great Bear McCreary work is what he did for Outlander

[@MannerdDesert7]

This will probably sound really weird without the context of the previous games but God of War (2018) story is basically the equivalent of a Nazi War Criminal in Argentina trying to evade the authorities with his son.

[@MrSignman65]

Funniest way of describing this game

[@MannerdDesert7]

@MrSignman65 what's funnier is it isn't even inaccurate.

[@lukazulu118]

Or more like a whistleblower who exposes the worst bits of America’s homeland security secrets and is hiding away in Russia to avoid persecution. 😅

[@MannerdDesert7]

@lukazulu118 Kratos killed like 80% of the greek population, he's not just a "whistleblower"

[@lukazulu118]

@@MannerdDesert7 Yeah fair…the widest character arc in videogame history I guess.

[@juanfrancuscovucetich1947]

No Deliverance?? Really?

[@evandrocatanho161]

I'm impressed by your sensitivity to Greek mythology games, which for me are the best

[@Starn3rd]

I felt the same way when I saw Bear Mcreary composed this ost, don't worry. I get it XD

[@KanoSJ]

Whoever gave you the context to the game is slightly off. Kratos is a Greek god who kills all the Greek gods out of vengeance. You should definitely react to ragnarok and the Valhalla dlc OST

[@jasonmoore289]

you can't go wrong with the soundtrack of any god of war game

[@anthonywatkins551]

23:08 the eerie sounding part happends when atreus finds out he is Loki.

[@saivivekm.v2411]

Man, please delete this. or edit it. Don't ruin it for people who haven't played this masterpiece.

[@implicitmintjulep]

There aren't a ton of tracks, but they are used perfectly in the game. Bear McCreary really nailed it with this one.

[@Unknown_crusader]

I'm so excited she reacted to the Gow soundtrack, I love it!

[@BaldinBlack]

Kratos is Greek, not Roman. And this game is not actually a reboot, it is a direct sequel from the previews Greek games. In those games we follow Kratos in his younger ears in Greek with the respective Greek gods and characters. In this game he moved to the north after the events of the third game and decided to start again, meeting Nordic Gods and characters.

[@BananaMan32202]

Here's a series I think you'll really enjoy. A Plague Tale: Innocence and A Plague Tale: Requiem, both OSTs are composed by Olivier Deriviere. Hope you enjoy the recommendation!

[@deopping]

The soundtrack of this and Ragnarok is why I think Ragnarok should've won game of the year, honestly.

[@dqixsoss7436]

Loved this video!! I’m sure everyone would like more god of war

[@unlimited971]

2:48 wait. She s a cultured one. Ah battlestar gallactica... I miss that show kinda now.

[@Sacrificial_Spaghetti]

The main theme lyrics are great, I believe they basically go over one of the main stories of the game from the perspective of the main character Kratos would recommend a version with translated lyrics.

[@anthonywatkins551]

I think the Dishonored 2 soundtrack is pretty cool

[@aylencitasq4275]

God of War i never actually cared for the game but its ost is very good, and exploring it togtehter with my favorite musician is Magically. Hope you had a great start of 2025!

[@fedezotto9189]

Memories of Mother always makes me tear up, maybe for part 2? 😊

[@paulothiago1000]

Emily, check the Atelier franchise next! The Ryza games are the most recent ones but all of the past 'sagas' have superb OST!

[@karljuliuz]

If you want to explore old norse folk music I recommend a group called SKALD. They're so good 👌

[@Arun-117]

I guess you like both 'Spartans' (Halo & GOW). You should definitely check out SOTC - Shadow of the Colosssus OST by Kow otani and Crysis 2 (atleast intro music) by Hans Zimmer.

[@ThinkingREED999]

Now you have to do Ragnarok hehe, can't wait for Raeb's Lament

[@2xRainb0w]

Damn did you check out Lullaby of the Giants?

[@2xRainb0w]

Commenting again to say the God of War Valhalla OST is only 27 minutes long but it’s perfect.

[@bradreed4414]

Love these games and the music is amazing

[@alexpena4091]

Another game you should react to is Ark i think if im bot mistaken He composed Ark Survival evolved boss songs

[@Piechu19]

You should react to Gothic 3 (or other part of the trilogy) soundtrack. The 3rd game has the biggest variety of songs.

[@darthmarth87]

Major spoilers regarding the end of this game, to answer the question of why there's that erie bit at the end of "The Summit" don't look if you plan on playing this game for yourself at any point Kratos and Atreus reach where Faye (the mother) wants her ashes to be spread, there they see a big lore wall carved by the Jotunn (or Giants) depicting the journey through the realms before K&A embarked on it, discovering that Faye herself was of this race, a fact she never divulged to them - making Atreus part Jotunn, part Demigod (Kratos is half human, half god). When spreading the ashes during this song Atreus questions the name the Jotunn gave him, the one his mother had for him - Loki, who in mythology is the Norse God of Mischief that is pretty instrumental in bringing about Ragnarok - a Nordic version of the apocalypse, thus, the erie music playing at that name drop.

[@gustavofring7580]

I recommend you to watch the music of old God of War games, you will like it, it was a nice video.

[@SchwaWasHere]

Ah yes, the boi Atrium

[@Dr.Spider2387]

If you want some music to react to the murder drones music by Aj desperito is good and especially bite me forever and one by Liam vickers the show’s creator called disassembly required

[@MrGanon360]

I'd love to see your reaction to one of my favorite Super Nintendo games of all time, Secret of Evermore. Created by Jeremy Soule, he wanted it not to just be music, but an experience. I hope you can check it out sometime, I think you'd enjoy it 😊

[@boinguboingun]

Hey can you do ultrakill pretty please? It’s very fast and loud but it’s great music, I recommend the cybergrind, the death of gods will, war without reason

[@janvoscek7952]

You should check a full video from e3 for god of war

[@Arri9707]

Please do Dark Souls 3 next!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@johanstenfelt1206]
