LONG LIVE THE GOD OF WAR 😤 This was a rollercoaster of emotions that I'll never forget. Love y'all and thank you for sticking around. I'll see you guys in GOW 2 when I'm back from my trip ❤
Do you stick with hard Mati? I think you probably wont enjoy rushing threw things tbh. Dont worry too much about progressing. We like to see you suffer, its still good content.
Dude you are absolutely not alone with the ps stream lag. When i had that shit, it damn near made the second game unbeatable for me. I did beat it but holy fuck it actually made it not fun on some parts, and i unfortunately must buy 1 internet plan from 1 provider in my area, so i couldnt really even change that part.
If you feel bad putting it on easy mode, think about this. You did it when kratos had become more than a mortal so life kinda became easy mode around the time you switched it lol
As someone who as played all the god of war games, this is only the beginning of greatness, they somehow upped the level every single game going forward, can’t wait to see your god of war 2 play through, keep killing it bro and enjoy your time in Amsterdam 🙌
No joke one of the few games that just gets better every iteration. I guess it's a lost art of double aa studios or devs that love their games cuz skull and bones sucks a$$ lol
I might not know fully yet cuz i haven't played the newer God of War games beyond 1-3 and Chains of Olympus . Honestly from all the reviews, streams i've seen imo the originals vibe with me most. But i think from what i've seen they all have weight and are expertly crafted. I like the OG trilogy because the puzzles are the HARDEST i've ever experienced .
Hey Mati, that "Rage Room" section is known to be notoriously difficult in GOW. For speedruns, it's actually considered the "run killer" LOL. Don't feel too bad about all the deaths! You should be proud you made it through the adversity of Spartan Mode (up until the end tho LOL). Enjoy your vacay man!
I've find the best order to play these games and understand kratos is GOW Ascension, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, GOW2 and 3, 2018GOW, Ragnorock and Valhalla.
YES I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR THIS RIGJT NOW IN BED!! Mati you are my absolute favorite TH-camr and I can not wait for you to play the rest! Much love, and glad that you enjoyed the game! Edit: And have a wonderful trip!
Good job, I had a lot of fun with this series and I felt like I was playing one of my favorite games for the first time in hard mode thanks to you. Although you have not completed the last challenge in full hard mode and that has been a bit disappointing, I think it is appropriate for you to enjoy this game incredible ending, you have completed enough in hard mode for the title of the God Of War. Congratulations to you, from someone who completed all the games of the trilogy on the highest possible difficulty. My congratulations from Chile.
I immediately clicked this the second I saw the title. Love this content man. And you’re mega gonna love 2 and 3. All of them really. Definitely give the psp ones a shot.
@@matiasgago Yessir! Glad you're loving all the aspects of the series so far. Combat is addictive story is great (contrary to what the naysayers say) and the music slapssss.
One thing I could say about GoW 1 is that regardless of the difficulty setting, the game would always pull some stunt to make you question your sanity level for keeping on pushing through to the end!
Congratulations on beating the game, Mati! And I hope you have a good time in Holland! Re. GoW2...I advise *not* playing on the hardest difficulty right off the bat, because it messes with enemy placements and some quicktime events to the point that even veterans of the franchise have problems beating some areas. Start with Normal, and if that feels too easy you can always bump up the difficulty later.
So did they add an option to change difficulty in gow2 im nearly done with my playthrough of the first one and spartan has felt good for most of the game but it started feeling nearly impossible at some parts near the end of the game. Overall tho i wouldnt want to reduce the difficulty level for the whole game.
This episode is a complete banger. Man, even I felt the pain. That last fight was nerve wrecking. I just kept screaming at my phone for you to use the souls. Gynormous brain. Enjoy your break, brother. You really need and deserve it, after all you've been through. Don't worry about us, we're just getting stoked for the next chapter. Also, you're right, this is a 10/10 game in all aspects.
Remember this playthrough. Remember these games, the trilogy will become a reference to be looked upon on 2018, Ragnarok AND please PLEASE make a playthrough of GOD OF WAR VALHALLA. A free DLC for Ragnarok.
You can destroy Ares and Ox statue at Olympus. Btw congrats and i knew somehow that part would be the turning point to go easy mode lol. Warned you since chapter 1😂 amazing series cant wait for this and Devil May Cry should be a MUST, it invented this pure hack n slash genre.
As someone who beat all of the god of war games.....I do not blame you at all for turning the difficulty down.....these games are freaking ridiculous difficulty wise
Glad you had a blast playing the game. First time experiences for a legendary game is always a great feeling.Looking forward to you playing GOW 2. And I’m ESPECIALLY looking forward to you playing God of War 3. Definitely the most violent of the GOW games in my opinion. Edit: Also, I recommend playing Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparta also. They were PSP titles, but they got ported to the PS3 and are also incredible games, with Chains of Olympus being my favorite of the 2. I would recommend playing ‘Ascension’ too, though I will say that it’s a little weaker than the other games, but still a pretty good game.
i remember playing as a kid that stupid rotating pillar in Hades took me aaaaages to finish. I was so mad 🤣Its a bit fucked up but in a way i feel better seeing you experiencie the same pain as i did. Thanks for everything Mati, see you in God of War 2!
Probably the best playtrough I've watched on youtube. I played first 2 gow on streaming too. First one I started on hard and had to restart it on normal later cause easy it's not fun. Second one I Don't actually remember the difficulty I choosed but I know that I gave up due to streaming... Horrible, will never do it again. I found out today that I quitted really in the end of the game so I might comeback just to end it. Btw play on normal really... It's much funnier to watch you playing on hard but I don't recommend it to anyone. I started 3rd one on hard and was the worst thing I could have done. I ended up changing to easy in the middle of the game and it wasn't fun. Just go on normal... I always chose the hardest difficulty unless there's no way to reduce it during the game. You're my favorite youtuber from now on. Found you through Shadow of Colussus which I beaten 2 weeks ago. Actually found it funny how you passed that one on normal which is kinda easy and much funnier in the hard difficulty.
I just found your channel these days. I'm very happy to see someone playing the old God of War games. I'm looking forward to see you playing the second game, it's epic.
You actually inspired me to play trough these games again and i`m streaming second one right now. It`s crazy, brutal and much more interesting and complex than first one! I'm so excited that you get to experience this game for the first time. EDIT: I`m watching you suffer in the rage room and I did it on easy mode and still died there. And yes sometimes button presses in QTE-s just dont register and blocks also. Streaming is pain but no another way to play these games on PS5 sadly.
This was a a great series to watch! I was sick I’m bed and this got me through! So much nostalgia from playing as a kid. Can’t wait for you to play the 2nd one.
I have been waiting for you to see the final Ares fight - specifically when Kratos uses the bridge sword.. SOOO EPIC!! I love how much you loved this game and, for me, it was extremely nostalgic to relive this whole game for the first time since I was in middle school. Have a great trip! Cannot wait for more GOW!!!
Not realy dude. Gow 2 has some quality of life changes but other aspects not great as Gow 1. Gow 3 Realy good at almost every aspect but story. Also They ruined Kratos personality .
Lifelong fan here 👋 Seriously cannot wait for you to get into God of War 2! I think youll genuinely love that one if you like GoW1 so much (favorite game of all time). I will most definitely be giving you tips and tricks you havent already gotten ESPECIALLY since GoW2 has a couple of new mechanics you can and should absolutely abuse against the bullshit you'll be going against 🤣 best of luck my guy and can't wait to see the gameplay. Peace ✌️💯
Congrats bro almost 3 hrs long and I still want MORE!! Thanks for going thru this journey for us mati. Now go enjoy that well deserved time off and be safe on your travels. Much love to the squad Quick edit: tbh i always consider that last fight as 2 phases but phase 1&3 is aries and phase 2 is kratos (dark side) so to me at least you did defeat aries n 99% of the game on Spartan difficulty
Everything you said related to how addicting this game is is multiplied to be even greater for each successive game. The story gets more intricate, the cutscenes get more epic (espcially the Norse Saga - they're fucking unbelievable), the combat gets more sophisticated and allows for greater skill expression, the boss fights get more interesting and grandiose. This is one of those series' man, you'll never forget it.
Mati you are the God of War! I truly enjoyed this whole playthrough- can't wait for you to tackle the rest of the games. Big fan from Norway. Enjoy your trip to Amsterdam 🤘
Enjoyed walking down memory lane with this one Mati! Amsterdam is one of my favorite spots. Have a great time and I’ll be waiting for the first episode of GoW2… probably one of my favorite games ever… and I’ve played video games for over 40 yrs. Peace!
Can't wait for GOW2 man! It was my first GOW game, so the nostalgia in this series hits hard with me bro! Welcome to the Netherlands man! You're gonna love out little country. (Btw. You should visit Breda, also know as the 'Pearl of the South' over here)
At last, I've been waiting for this video for 2 hours. It's 2 AM in my country now, and i know i have a class at 9 but I'm gonna watch this today and enjoy the final moments of God of War together with Mati😂😂
@@knightmer3645 This is not 100% accurate since i can barely hear what they're singing so here we go: Kratos the end Kratos here he comes Kratos the end Kratos he is the one Kratos the end Kratos he is the one Death, betrayal Death, betrayal Death, betrayal I, Kratos will kill him Death, betrayal Death, betrayal Death, betrayal I, Kratos will kill Zeus Kratos here he comes Kratos here he comes Kratos here he comes Kratos here he comes Kratos the end Kratos he is the one Kratos the end Kratos he is the one Kratos, the Death of Zeus Of Kratos, the Death of Zeus Of Of Of Shield bearer Of Of Of Shield bearer Death, betrayal Death, betrayal Death, betrayal I, Kratos will kill him Death, betrayal Death, betrayal Death, betrayal I, Kratos will kill Zeus
@@knightmer3645 I mean, Mati played GOW 1 before knowing Zeus is the Big Bad Wolf of the saga so... It might be underwhelming to you but to those who didn't know, I can't say the same brother...
This is one of my favorite games I have ever played and I'm so happy you got to take the journey and enjoyed it! You did great on this playthrough and honestly that's how a lot of us kept dying is on those same parts and in those same ways. I love going back and playing this over and over because every time I find new stuff I didn't know was there that the developer hid so well. This is my go to game for when i'm pissed off and need to let off some steam. Hope it helps you with that and many others as well. Thanks for sharing this with us and I will continue to follow your content. You are awesome! Keep up the great work!
I haven't watched the complete video yet but I want to say that I'm happy you started playing the first GOW before the others because lots of people like to skip the originals and watched their story in a summary video. I'm also glad you are liking the game and can't wait to see you play GOW 2 & 3, and hope you'll see at least a reaction video about the spinn-off games. In second note, you improved a lot through out the playthrought even if it got difficult at times. I will still recommend you to play the other games in hard difficulty because they are not as unforgiving as the first one, so you can do it. PD: Ginormous Brain.
congrats on beating the first game! i heard that the second one is even better so im really looking forward to it) also, i would really love to see you trying out devil may cry 5 after the god of war series , it is really fun))
Have a safe trip! Enjoy the coffeeshops in Amsterdam 😂 great content btw. God of war is nostalgic to see it after al these years & It's really funny to see someones first playtrough reactions and fails of the souls games. Played them for years and still playing them. Keep up the great work! You should also give nioh a try someday.
It's so crazy to think this is a ps2 game it plays and feels still so good. The levels, the art direction, the story, the music, for a ps2 game it's insane
I suspect the first episode of the next series will also be this long haha The leap in graphics and gameplay will hit you like dozens of Kratos in a temple in space, and you won't be able to stop!
This is a deep game. What I find deepest of all is that the enemy you have the most difficulty defeating; the hardest single part of the game; the part that tests you the most; the enemy you end up hating the most - your worst enemy... is yourself. 🤯
1:41:58 that's actually a funny thing about this game, devs kinda didn't balance the magic damage for the first game, so you deal the same for every difficulty, the damage magic do on easy mode, is the damage it do on very hard mode, that's why magic feels so OP, it's because IT IS OP!!!
Congrats on finishing the game Gianormous Brain! XD It was such a nice journey to witness. Keep up the amazing work bro. You have a new fan in me. Can't wai to see the rest of your Godly Journey. Peace!
I remember first playing this when it came out, long before I should have been allowed to 😂the writing is genius it really captures the feel and morals of Grecian legends like the odyssey, the Iliad etc, i remember getting to the hug your wife boss fight and being like "okay the story is in danger of disappearing up its own arse" with the we've taken you back in time to save your wife and child, but its not that; its the realisation that regardless of his power or rage the impossible made possible, he still can never undo it regardless of what he achieves or who he slays that he deems responsible, it was more profound than just a shallow 'confronting your own demons' trope its Ares genuinely feeling human desperation, fearing for his life using underhanded mind tricks instead of toe to toe martial prowess, he basically unseated himself in front of the entire pantheon without even noticing, and sourced his own replacement, passively, out of sheer hubris
GOW franchise is my all time favorite! I just wish I could experience all for the first time again. Next best thing is watching you and others experience it for the first time. Enjoy it man! Great play through!
Hey man, been following your playthroughs since a good 6 months now and honestly, you're one of my favorite reactors on the platform rn! Every video of yours is filled with so much good energy, charisma, excitement, ect. Recently subbed and whenever I see a new video dropped I hop straight on yt after work to enjoy your amazing content🤩 The quality has been nothing but consistantly great, and there's no doubt in my mind you'll keep that streak going🙏 Have fun in Amsterdam, make sure to check out the Foodhallen for some great streetfood! And track some of the speakeasy's for some killer cocktails🍸
what a GREAT play through!I didn't get a chance to play the first three, so a lot of the lore in the new GoWs (2018, ragnorak) are making sense! can't wait to see GoW 2
I've finished this game on VERY HARD it was around last year I think. It's one of my biggest achievements cause I'm a sucker for god of war games since I was a child. I remember getting a ps2 back in the day and got god of war 2 with it. I was 5 at the time and i never finished the game cause it was too hard I only watched my brother play it all the way through and I fell in love with it. It was around 2023 when I got a ps3 and got these games on it, I loved them so much I still do a playthrough time to time. But ngl the "RAGE ROOM" gave me such a hard time even ares was easier than that and the clone war ofc drove me crazy It took me like 1:30hr just to do the clone war alone...it was pure pain..but worth it in the end
Ayooo, is that a kratos rug? I fuhcking want one. Holy smokes 3 hours of content, cannot wait to see your endgame reaction. The plot is perfect in this game, man. I just love the narrator. It's not the last time we will hear her. Till then, imma watch this one and the dark souls remastered videos. Take care man! Edit: the fire in the distance was indeed Athens. The funny part is that Kratos was supposed to go there with Pandora's box by foot
I felt like committing sudoku when i beat the rage room but died to the flamethrowers on the final platform because i wanted to take a breather and thought they would have deactivated after beating the fight…
LONG LIVE THE GOD OF WAR 😤 This was a rollercoaster of emotions that I'll never forget.
Love y'all and thank you for sticking around. I'll see you guys in GOW 2 when I'm back from my trip ❤
Do you stick with hard Mati? I think you probably wont enjoy rushing threw things tbh. Dont worry too much about progressing. We like to see you suffer, its still good content.
Dude you are absolutely not alone with the ps stream lag. When i had that shit, it damn near made the second game unbeatable for me. I did beat it but holy fuck it actually made it not fun on some parts, and i unfortunately must buy 1 internet plan from 1 provider in my area, so i couldnt really even change that part.
1:29:09 you're not wrong, Ares really is an asshole.
bruh god 2-3 and above is pure art pls dont change from hard ^^ 20 yo fan of god of war series :D
Long and hard didst thou fight. Thy strength,extraordinary, befits a crown. The mark of a true Spartan
If you feel bad putting it on easy mode, think about this. You did it when kratos had become more than a mortal so life kinda became easy mode around the time you switched it lol
Love this 😭
Absolutely can't wait for God of War 2, one of the best soundtracks, prologues and locations out of the whole series. PURE EPICNESS.
LETS GOO i'm so stoked man!

@@jotadio608 Well that was super UNDERwhelming, I expected a whole lot more darkness... thanks anyways
@@knightmer3645 I mean, Mati played GOW 1 before knowing Zeus is the Big Bad Wolf of the saga so... It might be underwhelming to you but to those who didn't know, I can't say the same brother...
just finnished man that was a long video lol took me 2 days wqhile working lol, love your videos my man looking forward to GOW 2
This is one of my favorite games I have ever played and I'm so happy you got to take the journey and enjoyed it! You did great on this playthrough and honestly that's how a lot of us kept dying is on those same parts and in those same ways. I love going back and playing this over and over because every time I find new stuff I didn't know was there that the developer hid so well. This is my go to game for when i'm pissed off and need to let off some steam. Hope it helps you with that and many others as well. Thanks for sharing this with us and I will continue to follow your content. You are awesome! Keep up the great work!
I haven't watched the complete video yet but I want to say that I'm happy you started playing the first GOW before the others because lots of people like to skip the originals and watched their story in a summary video. I'm also glad you are liking the game and can't wait to see you play GOW 2 & 3, and hope you'll see at least a reaction video about the spinn-off games.
In second note, you improved a lot through out the playthrought even if it got difficult at times. I will still recommend you to play the other games in hard difficulty because they are not as unforgiving as the first one, so you can do it.
PD: Ginormous Brain.
LETSGOOOO this is hype! Keep up the good work
congrats on beating the first game!
i heard that the second one is even better so im really looking forward to it)
also, i would really love to see you trying out devil may cry 5 after the god of war series , it is really fun))
Thank you bro! I am so excited to get that one going
Have a safe trip! Enjoy the coffeeshops in Amsterdam 😂 great content btw. God of war is nostalgic to see it after al these years & It's really funny to see someones first playtrough reactions and fails of the souls games. Played them for years and still playing them. Keep up the great work! You should also give nioh a try someday.
Was waiting for you to drop the video.
Lil of advice Play all the next games on normal because it will get harder the more you go from now own
1:28:10 bro killed him on earth and killed him again in the underworld 💀💀💀
Youre gonna love what comes next, wild series mati, loved every vid on gow 2005. Very glad you enjoyed the game
Loved the series. I cant wait for more. You earned a sub brother.
So hyped for this man! Been loving watching you play through this game🙏
Love to hear that man! So much more coming
@@matiasgagohell yeah can’t wait brotha!
Man im looking forward to you commin back from vacation, im ready for GOW2!
Voice actor for gravedigger brings me so much joy, same one that was narrator in diablo 1 :D
It's so crazy to think this is a ps2 game it plays and feels still so good.
The levels, the art direction, the story, the music, for a ps2 game it's insane
Agreed!
Truly a masterpiece and way ahead of it's time, the reason to own a ps2
Ps2 games were great
This is better than 2018 and Ragnarog
I love how you enjoy the story for how good it actually is
I suspect the first episode of the next series will also be this long haha
The leap in graphics and gameplay will hit you like dozens of Kratos in a temple in space, and you won't be able to stop!
This is a deep game.
What I find deepest of all is that the enemy you have the most difficulty defeating; the hardest single part of the game; the part that tests you the most; the enemy you end up hating the most - your worst enemy... is yourself. 🤯
This comment is so long it annoys me
@@knightmer3645 we get it, you can't read
15:38!!
Finally!!
Every combat video where you've struggled, I have shouted L1+X 😂😂
That's the most OP move.
2:23:53 The most nightmarish place among the highest difficulty levels in the God of War series.
Little Bro you Did it Amazing 🙂
1:41:58 that's actually a funny thing about this game, devs kinda didn't balance the magic damage for the first game, so you deal the same for every difficulty, the damage magic do on easy mode, is the damage it do on very hard mode, that's why magic feels so OP, it's because IT IS OP!!!
put the rug on the wall on the right side of that back wall where its empty
Can't wait for GOW 2! It's better than the first game in every aspect. My favorite in the series.
Congrats on finishing the game Gianormous Brain! XD It was such a nice journey to witness. Keep up the amazing work bro. You have a new fan in me. Can't wai to see the rest of your Godly Journey. Peace!
I like the fact that when Arese died he basic created a nuclear explosion a fitting way for the god of war to go out
Awesome!! I love watching people experience greatness for the first time!
So excited to watch you play God Of War 2! This is gonna be epic.
Loved the video, hopefully you'll post GoW2 soon!
What a journey! Thanks for sharing, hope you like the next one.
I remember first playing this when it came out, long before I should have been allowed to 😂the writing is genius it really captures the feel and morals of Grecian legends like the odyssey, the Iliad etc, i remember getting to the hug your wife boss fight and being like "okay the story is in danger of disappearing up its own arse" with the we've taken you back in time to save your wife and child, but its not that; its the realisation that regardless of his power or rage the impossible made possible, he still can never undo it regardless of what he achieves or who he slays that he deems responsible, it was more profound than just a shallow 'confronting your own demons' trope its Ares genuinely feeling human desperation, fearing for his life using underhanded mind tricks instead of toe to toe martial prowess, he basically unseated himself in front of the entire pantheon without even noticing, and sourced his own replacement, passively, out of sheer hubris
Thanks for a great series! Only upwards from here, cannot wait!
GOW franchise is my all time favorite! I just wish I could experience all for the first time again. Next best thing is watching you and others experience it for the first time. Enjoy it man! Great play through!
Yes!!!!! Love it mate keep up the good work. Enjoy your holiday
1:46:27 when Mati was totally in that 12th hr pushing through this game lol 😂 loved it!
For God of war 2 use the normal mode
You beat the game on Spartan mode.. end of discussion! Well done, and congrats on unlocking Ginormous Brain mode 😉. Enjoy your trip ❤
Hey man, been following your playthroughs since a good 6 months now and honestly, you're one of my favorite reactors on the platform rn! Every video of yours is filled with so much good energy, charisma, excitement, ect. Recently subbed and whenever I see a new video dropped I hop straight on yt after work to enjoy your amazing content🤩 The quality has been nothing but consistantly great, and there's no doubt in my mind you'll keep that streak going🙏 Have fun in Amsterdam, make sure to check out the Foodhallen for some great streetfood! And track some of the speakeasy's for some killer cocktails🍸
what a GREAT play through!I didn't get a chance to play the first three, so a lot of the lore in the new GoWs (2018, ragnorak) are making sense! can't wait to see GoW 2
I've finished this game on VERY HARD it was around last year I think. It's one of my biggest achievements cause I'm a sucker for god of war games since I was a child. I remember getting a ps2 back in the day and got god of war 2 with it. I was 5 at the time and i never finished the game cause it was too hard I only watched my brother play it all the way through and I fell in love with it. It was around 2023 when I got a ps3 and got these games on it, I loved them so much I still do a playthrough time to time. But ngl the "RAGE ROOM" gave me such a hard time even ares was easier than that and the clone war ofc drove me crazy It took me like 1:30hr just to do the clone war alone...it was pure pain..but worth it in the end
Ayooo, is that a kratos rug? I fuhcking want one. Holy smokes 3 hours of content, cannot wait to see your endgame reaction. The plot is perfect in this game, man. I just love the narrator. It's not the last time we will hear her. Till then, imma watch this one and the dark souls remastered videos. Take care man!
Edit: the fire in the distance was indeed Athens. The funny part is that Kratos was supposed to go there with Pandora's box by foot
I felt like committing sudoku when i beat the rage room but died to the flamethrowers on the final platform because i wanted to take a breather and thought they would have deactivated after beating the fight…
Enjoy your time in Amsterdam. Loved this series can’t wait for the rest of this series
Great job! You know you gotta do GOW2! Just wait until you see what's coming your way, let's go!
