Just seeing this game brings back memories of that frost ancient beam runic. It was so absurdly powerful. I remember straight up one shotting any ancient I came across
This is honestly the craziest game I've ever played. I was locked in. GOW was so extraordinarily immersive that I felt like I was literally right there with them. It felt so real, I can't believe its just a video game and not some epic trippy ass fever-dream. I guess this is what happens when you let actual passionate game developers do their thang. 100/10
Ngl I think the major thing I miss from this game was how powerful your weapons felt including your runics. In Ragnarok they feel like they don’t carry that same weight
i mean look at it from the developer standpoint, they want to challenge players so it makes sense on making you weaker. imo, its not that big but who doesnt want to feel more powerful?
@@princebb_The feeling of power is felt more in this one because Kratos is much slower in this game than in Ragnarok, because of that slowness you felt each blow like an accurate hit, in Ragnarok you don't feel that, you feel much more agile, but compared to This Ragnarok is perhaps the only game in the series in which you can instakill every living being that exists in that game.
This game has so much nostalgia for me - i loved just paddling around doing the side missions and listening to stories, the plot of the game still makes me emotional, and of course the insanely powerful frost beam axe ability that made every boss fight completely obsolete because you'd win in seconds (no idea how that ability was allowed to be so powerful baha) my favourite game ever. Great video.
I love god of war 2018 it was really awesome and freaking fantastic especially seeing Kratos and Atreus bond as father and son is amazing in my opinion.
As great as the first games in the series were, I think angry Kratos could only go on for so long, dialing it back and having Kratos be more calculated and wise but still conflicted, especially with his relationship with Atreus, worked so well.
I played the original GOW trilogy growing up but GOW 2018 and Ragnarok are my all-time favorite games of all-time. Kratos even became one of my favorite fictional characters. I have small gripes with each game but my biggest complaint is I really wish they had made the Norse saga into a trilogy. Felt like they left a lot of meat on the bone. This was a nice look back and I'm excited to see the future of the franchise.
I'm wondering what's going on with this new expansion GOW I been hearing about.. They said the young kratos is playable as well the older one too. They said they are working on getting Terrence back for the young kratos back. Guess the story is going to be based on two realms.. Curious if this is all true, but they said the young kratos is 100% going to be playable.. And I'm not talking about Valhalla
@@Ki77a_WhSpRz Yh, once you beat the Valhalla DLC, Kratos comes to terms with his past self and the game allows you to play as the skin of Kratos from GoW1 along with the Blade of Olympus rage. You can use these abilities in new game+ I think that is what your talking about.
Best game ever, completed the game with 100% 7 times already and sometimes i just come back to the game to see the world and its beauti. I would love a vor game in gow 2018 in its map where you just drive with a boat. like this one Kanu game
I don‘t know how you‘re at only 20k subs. Anyone who‘s passionate or remotely enthusiastic about games should adore your videos. It‘s like browsing through a book that you love
I typically am not a guy that likes campaign based games. So when i saw this free for PS5 plus members I added it to my library. Mind you this was years after it released, and was my first god of war game. To say this game surprised me is an understatement. Felt like playing a movie and this and its sequel instantly became two of my favorite games i have ever played!
God of War 2018 is easily in my top 10 and I believe it's the best GoW game. Ragnarok is very good and the OG Greek Saga is still epic but this hit the sweet spot gameplay, pacing and narratively that the others don't quite reach all at once.
While I like Ragnarok a little more, I think what really makes 2018 special is the bond between Kratos and Atreus. The way they start off as strangers and then have an actual father son relationship at the end hits deep.
During the lockdown in early 2020, I got a ps4 slim with a free copy of God of War 2018. At the time, I was very inexperienced in gaming and went in completely blind. For me, Spider-Man 2018, RDR2, TLOU Remastered, and God of War 2018 are my defining games. The games that got me to respect video games as an art. 5 years later, I have my ps5 silm, and funny enough a free copy of God of War Ragnarok. Haven't played it yet, oh but trust me I will.
@ Of course, I played it, lmao. I love that one, too, and it’s in my top 5, but GOW 2018 holds a special place in my heart. It was the first game I actually played that got me into the GOW series and made me go back and play the others.
God of War is one of my most cherished and highly esteemed game series. The game effectively revitalized the franchise, and its beginning is a noteworthy feat of storytelling and character development. Incidentally, I genuinely appreciate the introduction.
God of War II and 2018 are my favorite games from the series. II still remains my favorite as it is still a siginificant part of my life growing up, but 2018 coincides with it by quality. Nothing will beat my first playthrough of this game as I was constantly doubting it and said to myself that it would disapoint me greatly. But ultimately, it did not and it went ahead and blew my goddamn mind.
@@StevEminem why do you think gow2 and 2018 are better than 3 and Ragnarok. Do you just like cliffhangers or what? Cuz from my experience and understanding the fanbase prefers gow3 and Ragnarok as the peaks of the series
@Bxrry125 those two just checks all of the notes on what a GOW game should be in terms of gameplay, story, pacing, etc. But that doesn't mean that i don't love the others as well. Don't get me wrong i adore III, but after playing it so much i started to analyze the narrative itself and it left a bad impression on me especially at the end of it regarding the whole power of hope plot. The gameplay definitely makes up for it so I can't be too mad. With ragnarök, the first hour of it was just as great as 2018 but as the story progressed I started to not like the choices of where the journey was headed. But yet again like III, they improved the gameplay to the point where I had a hard time playing 2018 whenever i felt like replaying it again. With that said, III and Ragnarök weren't bad games i just think those two lacked certain things on what a god of war game should have in my opinion.
@@Bxrry125 and i never said they were better than III and Ragnarök. Other people aren't wrong in thinking which game is the absolute peak of the franchise. This is just me commenting what i think is the best of them all. 😁
Not me just finding out that the tree we cut down at the start had a protection spell.. and THATS why Baldur came knocking at our door. I thought he just rocked up cause he got bored or smth 😭
I have played this game about 15 times 100%, I love it, although with the passage of time it has been clearer for me to see the flaws it had, which are not a few, among one thing or another that really bothers me, but outside That's it, it's a great game.
The one thing I would change is I would play a version of the original GOW theme when Kratos reveals the Blades of Chaos. Maybe a bit softer or more melancholy than the original
I just try this on my ps5 pro with enhanced ps4 Game Setting makes this game even more beautiful! Reason it won GOTY was Combat story if you know How to experiment with it you can do anything 😊 I love it
God of war is still a benchmark for hack/slash mythological story games, its essence and influence is strongly felt in games like even the recently released wukong... Gow truly fits the title "Greatest game of all time" "A timeless masterpiece" Sad that gow ragnarok fell short
Man I love how much people love this game, it’s awesome. I just cannot get into it even though I finished it, but I am no way saying it’s bad. I think it’s a me thing seeing how universally loved it is. I should really give Ragnarok a shot!
The one that surprises me the most that seems to be loved by everyone is gow 3, which again, surprises me considering the poorly told story that game has and that it seems that everyone turns a blind eye to it.
@@kwamekuma360 the one i noticed was he said Mimir didn't tell Kratos who Freya was due to a hex but he actually says her name right after she revives his head. The hex was actually for him to forget how to break the curse on Baldur which would allow him to be harmed. The other smaller gripe was he said that Kratos reveals everything to Atreus at the end. He did tell him a bit more info but he left out a huge detail which was that he was responsible for killing his original family. A detail he still hasnt revealed to this day.
How it should have ended: Kratos and Atreus get to the highest peak in Midgar. Mimir tells them this isn't the highest point in all the lands, it's in a different realm. Kratos thinks about it and says, "Nah. This is good enough." They spread the ashes and go to a new home so Baldur doesn't find them. The end
Great video, man! Just finished the Platinum on PC a couple of hours ago, second playthrough, first one was back when it came out. I absolutley love the story, so cinematic, love the characters and the gameplay is great. But I gotta say, Muspelheim and Niflheim left a bad taste in my mouth. What a drag...
I finished all the realms but Niflheim, I was NOT going to spend time collecting all that wind. Specially when you'd lose all your progress when you died.
I loved Muspelheim and Niflheim given I love the combat in this game , and I really found the rogue-like elements in Niflheim interesting. Though I think Ragnarok Valhalla did the whole rogue-like thing so much better.
The reason why I still haven’t played Ragnarok is because I’m scared that it will not surpass this game story wise, since Sony have disappointed me with the sequels like Spider-man 2 and the last of us 2 + sweet baby inc was involved.
@ damn I’ve heard that the Atreus part of the story was boring and that the game was rushed since this Nordic saga was supposed to be a trilogy but they rushed everything into Ragnarok.
@@kryzer1754 I think if you liked the first game you will like the second one, the Atreus part is kinda boring but it's necessary to tell the overall story that the game wants to tell, they also didn't really rush it but making one gow game takes 5 years and they didn't want player to have to wait 15 years for the story to finish releasing
@@tygostuff9052 is true that they are done already with the Nordic saga? If it is true I don’t like it and it was definitely rushed, I’m tired of Sony rushing and ruining sequels, they did me so dirty with Spider-man 2 and The last of us 2 I don’t want to experience that disappointment again.
@@kryzer1754To be fair SM said GoW Ragnarok would be the last installment of the Norse saga, then they dropped Valhalla, so maybe the Norse saga isn’t finished. Oh, and in terms of wrapping up the main plot of these games, Ragnarok did a fantastic job for me and I’ll think you’ll like it. The pacing is a bit inconsistent but the highs of this game are better than the highs of GoW 2018, so I think you should try.
@@loganmapes2307wrong. Story debatably goes to gow4 sure but every other aspect, hell to the nah. 2018 doesn’t have a free and infinitely replayable dlc. Having the blades of chaos in the very beginning of the game, getting draupnir, bigger set pieces, not fighting a troll every 35 minutes was just worse for you somehow? All I can assume is that you don’t like improvement. So is red dead 1 better than 2? I have valid reasons to assume that you’d like rdr1 more than 2. You don’t like overall objective improvement. You seem like a pale and vanilla person because of this. Shame
@@tchoopz1140 the story was super rushed, sloppy, and not nearly as good as 2018. Along that same vein, 2018 was built to match the story to the gameplay, the slow pace and no cut camera really helped to convey the relationship between kratos and atreus. But in Ragnarok, there are 3x as many characters, multiple plot points going on, and just more stuff in general. And the way the game is built just doesn't fit with the style of story Ragnarok is telling. It feels like it's piggybacking off of 2018 without realizing why 2018 worked so well. Ultimately, it's just a sloppy sequel that tried to fit way too much into one game and doesn't fit together cohesively like 2018.
@@Boss-cj6znFor me yes, the bosses improved a lot compared to this one, the only ones that were really memorable and fun (I emphasize the fun) for me were Baldur and Sigrun.
Nahhh Ragnarok was WAY worse than 2018 in nearly every way. The only places Ragnarok is better is in the enemy variety, new weapons, and I guess it has a longer (but much worse) story.
@@GUS-fc3jg Worse in almost every way? that's quite harsh, personally no, the dialogue seems better to me, there are phrases that are really worth listening to both in the base game and in the dlc, the music that was also much better in my taste, the one in the first one was not bad but For my taste it was insufficient, I wanted more, Ragnarok gives me that more, and even better with the DLC, the secondary missions, I think that in 2018 there are none of the magnitude of the crater, and in general they offer more unique moments, without forgetting develop their characters even more as already happened in the first but in this one they involve the entire group of Kratos, Atreus, Freya and Mimir, which for me has more merit, the Lore and how they complement it with what was seen in the first game , the bosses, the customization and the RPG system of the game, in 2018 it was noticeable that it was the first contact, but here it is much more customizable, allowing you to even change the appearance of your armor and its effects that are more noticeable, and it could continue as the development of the characters or something more subjective that was the story, which unlike the first Nordic game left me on the floor crying. Even though I had been spoiled.
Boring game. Draggging. Lack of gameplay variation. No puzzles. Automatic platforms. Totallydisappointing after the amazing 1-2-3 ORIGINAL GOW. This is absolute trash.
Don´t you dare to compare TLOU1 to GOW, it´s not the same, not even close, great stories in their own way. That piece of dog sh$$% from TLOU2 doesn´t even exist. God of War 2018 was an incredible challenging game with great combat, lore, side quests and boss fights worthy to be remembered.
No one is comparing anything to others. Both are great games and the reinvention of this franchise is one of the best things I have experienced as a gamer.
Omg DMC5 is my favorite game ever but the thing I hate more than myself is mfs who compare the two games. Yeah, sure, maybe comparing DMC to the Greek games would work, but definitely not for the Norse ones. Completely different styles of combat. It’s like comparing Cuphead to Hollow Knight.
Red dead redemption is a masterpiece, it should've won GOTY in 2018, Rdr2 took all the awards so GOW devs were crying so Rockstar made a deal with SMS and spare the GOTY award to them. GOW fans are so lame that they think they actually won GOTY in legit way, it makes me laugh lmaoo.
With that logic, Elden ring didn’t wing GOTY legit either. GoWR collected most of the other awards at the ceremony just like how RDR2 did. That’s not how the ceremony works. I’m sure once you vote a game for GOTY you can’t vote that game for the other awards, this stops games clearing all the awards. 😂

yeah bro. I would definitely play another game of slowly horse riding for 50% of the game, still crying over how that game didnt win GOTY 😢😢😢
@apieython7853 who said anything about red dead? Lol
@@DonJuanitito who? Not me. When did i say anything about Rdr2?
If this isn’t a masterpiece what is
@@unique_package5370 GOW 3 is way more original and fits better the masterpiece title.
Its godlike
man please check your audio mix properly, the volume is way too low even at max volume from the player.
@7:15 I think you meant to say Faye, not Freya.
Hello there, Game Overload? What’s your favorite game of the year?
God of war ragnarok next??
Hello there! What are your thoughts on the horror film, It?
Just say god of war 4 because technically It is
As much as I love this game, RDR2 without a doubt was robbed for GoTY.
Hello there! What is your favorite game of the year so far?
this game does not beat RDR2, something fishy happened
13:27 There are consequences to saying the N word
Why? How do you know ? How do you know?
And then they completely ruined it with Ragnarok. Such a shame.
I still liked it.
So true. And somehow everyone still loved it. I genuinely cannot fathom how people thought that game was good.
Ragnarok was a very good game what are you talking about
@@GUS-fc3jgragnarok is a great game arguably better than 2018 what are you talking about
@@tchoopz1140 the story was super rushed, sloppy, and not nearly as good as 2018. Along that same vein, 2018 was built to match the story to the gameplay, the slow pace and no cut camera really helped to convey the relationship between kratos and atreus. But in Ragnarok, there are 3x as many characters, multiple plot points going on, and just more stuff in general. And the way the game is built just doesn't fit with the style of story Ragnarok is telling. It feels like it's piggybacking off of 2018 without realizing why 2018 worked so well. Ultimately, it's just a sloppy sequel that tried to fit way too much into one game and doesn't fit together cohesively like 2018.
5 hours 1300 views oof sorry man
A masterpiece for sure. But the fact this game took GOTY from RDR2 is a downright crime.
I disagree
i agree
GOW was just way more popular compared to RDR, unfortunately. It’s been around since 2005 so it’s gonna have one of the largest fanbases in gaming.
Both are deserving but I'd go with Red Dead 2 because it's just more massive
I disagree. Gameplay is obliviously a huge part of games and RDR2 gameplay doesn’t stack up as well, along with a few other thinge
2nd best game ever, only beaten by its sequel Ragnarök
Eh are we sure
@@Boss-cj6znFor me yes, the bosses improved a lot compared to this one, the only ones that were really memorable and fun (I emphasize the fun) for me were Baldur and Sigrun.
Nahhh Ragnarok was WAY worse than 2018 in nearly every way. The only places Ragnarok is better is in the enemy variety, new weapons, and I guess it has a longer (but much worse) story.
@@GUS-fc3jg Worse in almost every way? that's quite harsh, personally no, the dialogue seems better to me, there are phrases that are really worth listening to both in the base game and in the dlc, the music that was also much better in my taste, the one in the first one was not bad but For my taste it was insufficient, I wanted more, Ragnarok gives me that more, and even better with the DLC, the secondary missions, I think that in 2018 there are none of the magnitude of the crater, and in general they offer more unique moments, without forgetting develop their characters even more as already happened in the first but in this one they involve the entire group of Kratos, Atreus, Freya and Mimir, which for me has more merit, the Lore and how they complement it with what was seen in the first game , the bosses, the customization and the RPG system of the game, in 2018 it was noticeable that it was the first contact, but here it is much more customizable, allowing you to even change the appearance of your armor and its effects that are more noticeable, and it could continue as the development of the characters or something more subjective that was the story, which unlike the first Nordic game left me on the floor crying. Even though I had been spoiled.
@@GUS-fc3jg Oh sure, and Ragnarok has a free DLC and it's not exactly bad.
I get triggered everytime I hear rdr2 didn't win goty
Most overrated game I've ever played..god of war is better..
Hell 2 is better...
ha. ha. ha.
🫡👊🏿
That game sucks
Boring game. Draggging. Lack of gameplay variation. No puzzles. Automatic platforms. Totallydisappointing after the amazing 1-2-3 ORIGINAL GOW. This is absolute trash.
Did you even played the game?
Todos los fanboys de Xbox se aparecieron cmo sabandijas , mejor que starfail llora pilero
@@zTN52he's a fanboy of the other console you can tell by the way he describes the game
Don´t you dare to compare TLOU1 to GOW, it´s not the same, not even close, great stories in their own way. That piece of dog sh$$% from TLOU2 doesn´t even exist. God of War 2018 was an incredible challenging game with great combat, lore, side quests and boss fights worthy to be remembered.
Chill?
@@Exo-riah no!!
Gow 2018 is a shit action game when compared to dmc5
No one is comparing anything to others. Both are great games and the reinvention of this franchise is one of the best things I have experienced as a gamer.
Brother u can keep your opinion let me keep mine @@saivivekm.v2411
Omg DMC5 is my favorite game ever but the thing I hate more than myself is mfs who compare the two games. Yeah, sure, maybe comparing DMC to the Greek games would work, but definitely not for the Norse ones. Completely different styles of combat. It’s like comparing Cuphead to Hollow Knight.
DMC 5 might be more of a fun power trip (way better optimized too) but GOW is a better game
GOW2018 is so clear of DMC5 😂😂
Red dead redemption is a masterpiece, it should've won GOTY in 2018, Rdr2 took all the awards so GOW devs were crying so Rockstar made a deal with SMS and spare the GOTY award to them. GOW fans are so lame that they think they actually won GOTY in legit way, it makes me laugh lmaoo.
With that logic, Elden ring didn’t wing GOTY legit either. GoWR collected most of the other awards at the ceremony just like how RDR2 did.
That’s not how the ceremony works. I’m sure once you vote a game for GOTY you can’t vote that game for the other awards, this stops games clearing all the awards. 😂
