I’ve been at it for over 3 months between recording my own gameplay from God of war 2018 to God of war Ragnarök, planning, editing, and figuring out the way I wanted to convey this story. This was my first gaming edit and it definitely came with its own learning curves.
“Pretend to be everything you are not, teacher, husband, father, you cannot change.” “To grieve deeply is to have loved fully.”
There were so many quotes like this that hit me at one of the worst points of my life. The last section of this video is part of the reason it took me so long to complete. When I would get to this section, I would freeze because I was directly speaking to myself and what I was and have been dealing with. Emotionally, I am definitely attached to this project and the concept of grief that comes with it.
The video itself is quite long even though I did my best to keep it short but I felt it would not do the story justice to cut it any shorter. I hope you enjoy!

I believe stories (and how we share them) have the ability to reshape our lives and teach us lessons that we might normally not come upon without hardship. The human capacity for cruelty has always troubled me. I will continue to make more videos/photos in the hope that I can offer something positive to the world, however small. This, is what I love doing.

"death can have it when it earns me" is the most badass line from any game, show or anything ever and you cant convince me otherwise

[@Editor_Brad]

Such an amazing line when you realize that he means it. He cant die unless he knows Atreus is ok after he is gone and how even if he dies he comes back since Death hasnt really kept him dead permanently.

[@Prod.Lavure]

[@remuvs]

After GoW4 and Ragnarok, I will always love Kratos' yell as he cuts down the tree at 4:35. Over the two games you realize how significant that cutting the one tree is to his character.

[@luisnickkk]

I cry here too. 😭

[@DinkiBinkiBooperDooper]

Kratos cutting a tree within the first 5 minutes of the game is definitely different then breaking someone’s neck within the first 5 minutes

[@djw_tekken8490]

I always thought its bc hes weak he needed strength to cut it😂 But yea nice symbol lmao

WOW. I teared up 3 times watching this masterpiece of Kratos. You have an incredible talent of storytelling and you shared Kratos' story brilliantly. I especially loved how you used Faye's words in connection to the later dialogue in the game. This is by far THE best edit of Kratos I have seen 🔥

[@dazededits3833]

This was absolutely outstanding the amount of time and passion you put into this project can be felt throughout it. I really loved how edited him especially the part where you show who he truly is that was brilliantly edited. I understand why that last sequence took so long because its absolutely perfect you feel the love he has for his boy even though he has a hard time showing it. Your selection of qoutes combined with the scenes were incredible especially and this was my favourite part when you had the qoute we choose what God's to be as they fight Odin that gave me goosebumps I loved that moment so much and when he and bear form of his son stood together. This is such a huge feat for you bud the fact you captured all the gameplay yourself and then edited this masterpiece is incredible you should feel very proud of this edit I have a feeling I'm going to be watching this alot not to mention that insane thumbnail you made for it. This edit was totally worth the wait talent like yours for storytelling is incredible without a doubt the best god of war edit I have ever seen 💙
