Father-son bond sets new ‘God of War’ apart
“God of War’s” special edition steelcase has a hidden message on its reverse cover, decipherable only by those able to read the oldest of the runic alphabets. Also, Atreus is not merely a plot device in God of War who has been added just for the sake of emotion, but also makes the combat sequences more exciting, as he fires arrows and also summons creatures later on. Just to get you some good information about how you can make the most of this game, here we have listed down a few tips which you need to know before starting the game.
The games is essentially one long camera shot (with background loading times cleverly covered up, apart from the rather odd fast-travel experience) so the player can easily lose track of time through extended immersion sessions. You will become more powerful with these Kratos and Atreus.

The video goes over moves such as pinning enemies to structures and mentions the stun damage that you can build up by knocking them into walls, but any nearby cliffs can also be your best friends. Instead of the Blades of Chaos, for example, you now have an axe, a shield, your fists, and of course there’s Kratos’s son, Atreus. The mechanics get introduced in the game as you play.
With a new weapon called the Leviathan Axe, players chop down enemies with R1 and R2 buttons and perform shorter combos.
Largely gone from this game are the quick-time events of previous GOWs. He’s now a father, a tomb raider, your all-around explorer.
The quality of the prototype was pretty much below the standard set by the real game, considering it was pitched back in 2015.
Before its actual release, God of War was forecast to become PlayStation’s highest rated exclusive, and that prediction has held true. That game console still reigns at the top as the best-selling home video game console of all time (with sales north of 155 million units).
