God of War has had its share of ups and downs, but it’s nothing new in the world of gaming. However, with the release of their latest installment, God of War Ragnarok, the developers at Sony Santa Monica Studios have shown their prowess by creating one of the best video games of all time, with an immaculate balance between high-quality gameplay and stunning graphics. Here are the Top 5 reasons you should play this game before The Game Awards 2022.

Who is the God of War?

The God of War is an action-adventure game series where the player takes control of an ancient Greek warrior. When Kratos, the main character and protagonist, finds out that his mortal Spartan family betrayed him and tricked him into killing his wife and daughter, he is overtaken by rage and pledges to serve the gods in return for his revenge against them. As a god killer, Kratos must slaughter all those who would stand in his way.

The God of War has made its way back into popular culture with the release of God of War Ragnarok on April 20th 2018. This installment in the series received rave reviews from critics across gaming platforms such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for its intense gameplay and stunning graphics.

What is the story behind the God of War?

The story behind the God of War starts when Kratos, a Spartan warrior, becomes the Ghost of Sparta after betraying his homeland and family. He then came across a woman who's on the verge of death and rescues her with a promise that he would kill Ares, who was responsible for her suffering.

However, Kratos soon found out about her betrayal and killed her before going after Ares. After slaying Ares and taking his power, Kratos became the new god of war but soon disappeared from Olympus as no one seemed to care about him except for Athena. But now he returns in God of War Ragnarok with an even more powerful weapon than before.

How has the God of War been depicted in previous games?

God of War is known for its brutal violence and blood-thirsty protagonist, Kratos. In the most recent installment, God of War Ragnarok, Kratos has returned after a decade-long break in which he ascended Mount Olympus to become a god. He now wields the power of Thor and is on a quest to kill his father Zeus.

This game holds nothing back in portraying Kratos as the ultimate badass, with his heart full of rage and revenge. One might say that God Of War is the perfect depiction of what it means to be dominant over all others. As we’ve seen through games like God of War III and God of War Ascension, this story follows Kratos’ ascent from mortal human to godhood.
