In the 2018 soft reboot God of War, our protagonists had one mission: to spread the ashes of Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother on the highest peak of all the realms. This journey of fatherhood established the foundation for Ragnarök: how Kratos impacts Atreus, and how the set of supporting characters helps Atreus grow into the person we meet in God of War Ragnarök.

If God Of War 2018 focuses on establishing the characters, Ragnarök brings dynamics together to help these characters grow. Within this episode, we'll examine the several character dynamics crafted by the writers to tell this story. We highly recommend this new addition to the series.
