The first bit of this episode was originally a lot longer, but I've got to the stage of the game where a lot of the sidequest stuff was spread apart, so I've decided to edit a little more heavily for a few bits. The Path: Forging Destiny, however, is almost entirely clean longplay footage. It's also one of my favourite character sections in the early-to-mid game.

Spoilery Post-Game Thoughts:

I really like how they've built up to this Brok section and how they've used Dramatic Irony (where we know things the characters don't) to increase the tension. We've already had a confession from Sindri in the Atreus sections about what happened with Brok, but Kratos knows nothing of this. Mimir, on the other hand...

I also really like the conversation between Kratos and Odin at the end of the Forging Destiny section. It plays much more interestingly with the benefits of hindsight.

God of War: Ragnarök was developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony, released worldwide on November 9th 2022. It is both the ninth game in the series and the ninth chronologically, and serves as the finale to the Norse era of the series, covering the eschatological event Ragnarök central to Norse mythology.
