What took me so long to play this? Seriously I've been missing out. First time playing this and I can't believe how good this game looks and feels. The one thing that stands out is the polish and visuals. Amazing. If you enjoy the blind playthrough please subscribe or come back for the rest of the episodes. Full disclaimer, I'm a total noob at this but by the end of the journey I hope to be better than I was gameplay wise here and that's the goal. I promise it gets better and I'd love to share the journey with all of you all.

EDIT: Thank you for letting me share this incredible journey that is God of War with you! I also appreciate all the patience and support allowing me me grow, learn, and get better in this game throughout the episodes. We've come such a long way literally and figurately in this game since this first episode! Looking back it's funny to watch me just spam R2 and say things like "why is Kratos grumpy" LMAO. With all of the GOW games played now, looking forward to Ragnarok. Can't await. Hope to see all of you then 💖
Sarah, not sure you saw my message on the other episode. But I just finished episode 9 and going on to 10 now. I have to say, I can't believe how much better you are now! Before episode 4, I just watched because of your reactions and you're fun to watch, but now that you're getting good at the gameplay, it just adds another dimension. Also I like how you added the other things like the intros and flashbacks that really add a nice touch! Starting with the 3rd or 4th episode, it turned into the best playthrough I've seen for this game and I've seen about 30 or so of this game so far. So keep please keep it up and please finish the game!
@@andyxuzu7278 Thank you for the kind comment! I truly appreciate the support. To be honest, I think that anyone that plays through the game will get naturally better just by playing it! But I do cringe at some of the gameplay in the first parts LOL. I'm glad you enjoy our recaps at the beginning of the new episodes too. See you soon!
Ghaaaad nagulat ako bigla ka nag tagalog nung namatay ka 😂
"Hoy!" 1:30:43
lol. The first of many on this journey
"So grumpy!" If you went through the same lifetime of Hell Kratos had to go through, you would be just at tempered as he is.
Yeah quite a journey he has been on over the years
Funny thing he was even worse at the start...
You mean lifetime of hell he brought onto other people? Oh wait I can’t say that that’s wrong... they didn’t get to live a lifetime
@@gdapper622 🤣🤣🤣 honestly tho lol
Not even that he's just grumpy 😂
Christopher Judge is of course a national treasure, but shoutout to Sunny Suljic. He did a really good job bringing Atreus to life.
And Jeremy Davies! Shout out to all LOST fans
No need for a large cast when such a small cast with a whole team to back Cory Balrog’s gamble of a game made GOW a masterpiece!
Very true. We can't forget A. Duncan for Mimir's voice acting or D. Bisutti as Freya. The whole crew behind this masterpierce is amazing
Yes, the game would have been awful if they'd picked the wrong child actor.
As a long time god of war fan, this game shocked me at how wonderful it is.
Yeah same here love the direction they went graphics are amazing
I prefer the old gow but this was still top tier
@@starrynight4602
Fair.
I like how they interact, how you can feel that Kratos is older.
Savage brutality vs Held back coolness.
Its like a Good Fencer vs a Master.
@@damianrehbein3992 But the gameplay of the older is way better. Which is why it wins. Story isn't enough to make a game great
I love the way Kratos tries to mentor him. Saying “in the direction of deer” is kratos basically saying “grow up, be a man, and hunt without my help.”
I love how the game is about so many things. And beyond the combat and the action and other stories, at its core it's about a father.
@@SnaxanGaming you didn’t play the other games, but my favorite sub plot is the tragedy of kratos carrying his wife’s ashes around while the ashes of his previous wife and daughter are permanently stuck to his skin. He was tricked into killing them and then forced to wear their ashes as punishment. So now he’s carrying the ashes of both of his wives and it must be horrible for him
@@SnaxanGaming hi
This game alone is the reason why I got PlayStation
Hahaha.. wow i thought im the only one.. actually i bought ps2 before only to play gow2 then ps4 to play gow4 ahhahah
Well I hope to see yall on ps5 after ragnarok had been announced.
@@autisticwhale2968 voila
U should get psn and play the other gow games
It really is a perfect game and it definitely helps moves console units. Same as what Ragnarok will do for PS5
When stress increases, the Filipino cussing commences 😂
And the accent also comes out lol
Lmfao.
timestamp?
@@onick9250 1:21:54
1:15:23 I love this small moment. In it you can see kratos, for all the many tragedies, hardships and needless suffering he has gone through, still feels very real pain at the loss of his wife. Holding her ashes in his hand, you can see the momentary loss of control, where his lips briefly part. And then you can see him realize what happened, and forcefully reassert control over his emotional state. This game is amazing.
Agreed! I totally felt it
I love this game so much I've been watching every single playthrough just to keep experiencing it through new eyes.
The first thing I'll tell anyone is watch full recaps of the previous God of war games as knowing Kratos's history makes you look at the game differently.
True he has been to hell and back literally and all in between
He is spartan, so he uses his own upbringing as his guide.
pls finish this game. it is amazing. :D
Yosh, I agree :3
Best game ever besides last of us
I totally agree
Muhammad Jaser Dinhaq The last of us was pretty boring.
@@jm329 the 1st one was good
Oof, The Stranger fight never gets old
The Stranger Fight is the best scene for a Reaction i have seen many and liked them all including this one, but i keep getting triggered for the way they fight the Stranger... xD They either Spam the R2 Button, dont take advantage of the destructible Trees, not fighting the Stranger with bare hands and hesitate to attack... idk why but that triggeres me alot and i have seen many play like that... but i still watch and enjoy because i wanna see their reaction of this Incredible Game, and im not disappointed.
Yea. I think most of us have probably seen the same reactions. Its annoying. GOW is an aggressive game, and thats how you're supposed to play it.
@@Necksteppa77 there is no way you're "supposed" to play, you shouldn't watch reactions if you're gonna be annoyed by something small like that
@@ohsupdom There is no way you're "supposed" to react. People can react however they want.
@@ohsupdom chill
I mean, it's hardly surprising people playing a game for the first time would play sub-optimally in an early fight.
It used to be Greek, now it’s Norse. Remember that lol.
Well Kratos is still Greek and Atreus is still half Greek. So there's still a little Greek there lmao
@@vlinnstone6919 and blades of chaos
Been a fan since your BTV days Ms. Sarah. Try watching recap videos of the first 3 games just to give it that extra emotional kick👍
I’ve just found you and I already like your videos you a cool person lol💯
Desmond thanks so much and welcome! Happy you like them and appreciate you watching the channel!
She's adorable. I enjoyed watching her play this game in this video. Keep doing your thing.
Been playing this game series since back on the ps2 amazing games getting better and better 👍👍
"We're really just stealing from graves."
Well, he feels like he's damned to the depths of any hell of whatever land he's in
All the previous God of War games started with throwing you right into a boss fight. This one is a departure from that tradition.
I absolutely love the pacing of the Stranger encounter, the fight itself is great but the fact that it comes right on the heels of another boss fight when you're expecting a breather makes it hit even harder
"I don't wanna fight anymore"?
I beg your damn pardon 😂
I've just started playing this for myself as well and I'm loving it! Such an incredible game 💖
I can't believe how hold it is for looking and playing so well! Also the story and gameplay....sooo good!
Hahahahaha! I really enjoy watching you screaming fighting the 1st boss.. and your reaction when you realize that you really need to beat that 1st boss.. its a little bit chaos..but its fun to watch.. 😂😂😂
It starts a little iffy with this first episode but this play through becomes the best playthrough I've ever seen for this game a by about part 4 in terms of entertainment, reaction, and quality. I've seen dozens.
I found your channel and I love to see new people get into God of War.
The previous Greek saga is quite different.
Thanks for stopping by and welcome! On part 9 now and am loving it. Took a few episodes to get used to the mechanics and now enjoying this amazing ride!
@@SnaxanGaming So you haven't finished it? I'm not sure where you are but you are in for an amazing experience.
The Greek Era is 3 main games and 3 side stories which delve even further into who Kray-tose is. I heard what you called him earlier. 😆
There are a few God of War Greek Era summary videos that are worth watching and much shorter than playing them.
@@UnfilteredMedic Finally done :) perfect game.
@@SnaxanGaming Glad you enjoyed it.
Now....Ragnarok is coming.
as much as kratos is a badass you make this so much wholesome than before definitely watching this whole series 😌 wish i could've found your channel earlier
Thanks for stopping by Noah! Hope you'll be back soon for the rest.
Even to this day, the music gives me goosebumps.
oh you bet yo ass im here for this series girl!! and better late than never just happy to see youre first time reactions to all this Playstation greatness.
2:40 this music ahhhhh nostalgic i almost cry listening to this 😭😭
It's so lovely to hear Aayeyayaay Aayeyaaay 😄❤
"do not be sorry, be better"
it was rough sounding, but it's still good advice to be honest
Lol early in this video she says "what the fudge?". As soon as the fighting starts that fudge turns quickly into a "what the fuck?!"
I loved your Gameplay! Please Continue playing it.
PS: Change the difficulty to Balanced and change video setting to Favor Frame rates to have smoother gameplay. Also, read the journal of Atreus to know more about the lore of the game if you are into that
Always loved the GOW series. Cant wait for the PS5 God of War Ragnarok
The trolls name is roughly translated to “Death Merchant”. Also, the rock the deer first comes out from behind looks a lot like a serpent
Cool playthrough. I highly recommend you change the difficulty try to combo instead of just spamming R2 lol. Makes combos more effective and a better experience to watch haha. Keep it up, you’ll get use to the controls!
there are no loading screens in this game and you should change difficulty.
Yes, but also no
There are loading screens, its just hidden very well. Travelling between realms will make you stay in the Yggdrasil tree for a while until a door pops up, thats the game loading. They hide it by making you move around and making either Atreus and Mimir tell a story to pass time.
@@Waluigi-qp3vm well I guess it isnt considered a loading screen, but it is definitely a clever way make waiting for things to load more fun and interesting to wherever you are going.
Nice play through of Dad of Boi. Hope you finish the game 'cause the whole experience is fantastic. Also, take my sub.
Thanks for the support! I'm loving this game so far. Each part gets better and better!
I too am attuned to the element of Fire. Burn bright and shine on.
You should play old God of war games they are all masterpiece.
It's cool you're going into this with little to no knowledge of the other games. This story is bound to surprise you a countless number of times.
The girl who had interest with the shiny things lol, ur’e funny
Look at his shining forehead
im gonna be playing this game soon, can't wait lol
Yooo my guy have u played the other god of war games cuz if u play it without playing the other god of war games ur not Guna know a thing that kratos and his son are Guna say about what
Happend or say.
That middle finger after beating a boss that killed you so many times is so realistic to every gamer
Great gameplay Sarah like the you play first episode of God of war
Love to see a god of war fan and love your videos and just subscribed and wish u continued success with your channel 💯
Thanks so much! Appreciate it jackboi
I would choose lightning as my elemental power because it makes you look cool and it has a crap ton of uses.
Great game play nice start off I'm hooked
I don’t how you have your volume settings, but I like it. I can hear your voice just as clearly as the game. You’re the first person that I’ve watched play this with good volume for the commentary and game.
Nice to see new Filipino Creators! Excited to watch all of this and binge it STRAIGHT AHAHAHAHA. Love the Filipino cussing too ahahahaha
Sidrouf thanks for watching! I guess there are some people who actually understand some of the swear words lol
@@SnaxanGaming I honestly had no idea until you swore on the first Draugr fight, laughed my ass off of thr chair I was sitting on
I just watched all video with big smile .keep going 👍🏻
new subscriber here and I'm already enjoying it! That "puta ka" part really had me laughing 😂😂
Sarah: "The PS4 *_exclusive"_*
PC players in the present day: 😏
11:33 - Depends on what's considered an "element" and the extent it can reach because darkness is fantastic if it encompasses void, silence, death, etc. but if all I can do is give people shade I'd pick something else like gravity manipulation or electricity or something.
23:07 - "Jesus!... Motheeeeerrrrr!..."
Atreus: "...Drauger?"
That's one way to censor saying "Motherfucker" I suppose...
Sarah during the Troll fight:😤🤬
People watching after they remember what boss fight is coming up next: 😳
Hey, I think you should just read the story of all the past games as there will be many moments in the game which you will only enjoy if you know about his past life.
Also, The Stranger is acted and voiced by Jeremy Davies and let me tell you, the best voice actor in the game. I liked his acting more than Christopher Judge.
I didn't know that Jeremy Davies was the voice behind the stranger!
This Game Should be Taught on How to Do a Reboot along with 2013 Tomb Raider even Though it’s the Superior Game. Need to Play another new game plus for Kicks and giggles. This Game is so Beautiful and One of the Best Ever Made of All Time! I don’t Know if I’d put it in My Top 5 but Easily in My Personal Top Ten!
Hi Snaxan, how are you? Hey good season of god of war. a hug and a kiss from Chile🇨🇱.
You’re this one girl that i rooted to be famous or get extra attention and stardom you deserve. More power! You deserve so much more
I've just realized that he looks worried rather than angry when he said "Find...it"
The stranger boss fight is the best boss fight ever. Some developers create videogames, but only a few can create art. Good job to Sony for letting developers create the games that they want.
this is one of the best Games ever i have finished like 4 times and i cant wait to play it again before Ragnarök arrive
This was the first GOW game I played, this time last year when I got my PS5. Never played before as It didn’t look like a game I’d like. My cousin kept telling me to try it so when it was free with PS+ collection I gave it a try. To my surprise it turned out to be one of my all time favourite games, I got the Platinum trophy (I never usually bother with trophies) and then replayed it again a month later 😍💪
congrats on the platinum!
HI! I just want to say i love your reactions to this game. I like how you react.
Thank you @NESCAFE UBE :) I'm happy you're able to enjoy it.
Nakakatuwang panuorin 'to and the way you say "ayayay!" it is so much fun!😂 Anyway good game ma'am. I played this game too.
Glad you enjoyed!
Lol when you're so frustrated, you bring out the tagalog
oo nga eh napapalutong Ng Tagalog na pi haha
Give me a challege kasi pinili nya ahhaha..
I liked the soundtrack too. Im glad you noticed that. :)
Love your reaction hahaha
Natatawa nako pag napapatagalog kana 😂😂😂
baby girl you hate when kratos said to atreus "dont be sorry. be better" were the most of GOW fans love it. I understand that you seems hate it because you are not familiar on kratos attitude before but if you play GOW series before and you heard that lines for the 1st tme I'm sure you will like it because it shows that kratos become kinda soft and not totally rude as he was.
Mad respect for playing challenge mode on ur first playthrough
This is amazing but the OG god of war is legendary, the kill streak is mind blowing
Love your game reaction! Can not wait for the next GOW Ragnarok! Natural explorer!
Ragnarok will be amazing!!! Btw this playthrough was a while back when I was still learning. I'll be ready for the next one though! Thanks for stopping by
Love the god of war series so much action and kratos is so funny 😂
Haven't finished this game yet. But it is pretty amazinh and brings a lot of adrenaline rush. Wait til you encounter the valkyries they're very tough but it is very rewarding once you beat one. Love your reactions by the way. Keep on streaming.
knew you from Myx, didn't know you stream. subscribed! will try to watch some of your stream on twitch
Those were the days! Thanks for supporting the channel!
Never played God of War! Now I need to play it for sure! 🎮🪓
Totally worth it imo!
Alex play the old ones first theyre masterpieces also you wont regret it
Omg alex u almost miss half of ur awesome life
Man kratos's son ain't scary of getting told 9f by his father in that kind of voice man if I was getting told of by my father in that vioce I would be shiting my pants
Sorry about the swear
LOL I agree. Also no worries about the swear, we are in the same boat. I really have to filter my swearing when I play.
I see that you are a true Filippino. hahaha the words when you are Angry and Stressed.
1:31:12 Sarah: "OMG THIS GAME IS SO FUN!!'' Also Sarah: "WUDDYUH MEEEANNN!!!??!!?" LMAO you're too funny!! 😂🤣
I like how Sarah says Bitch
It's great to see young ladies playing video games as all the ones i know are not interested so loving your gameplay keep up the great work :-)
I started this game 2018 version. I'm playing old versions now
Btw its ur 1st playthrough but ur gamer institution is really good for a first timer coz most 1st timer dont know how to catch that slomo shield which is called parry and its really important in playing the game coz if u wont learn how to parry later part in the game u will suffer most of the time
Need that "OOOII YO YOOII" merch
LOL
The only game Franchise that I respect for the sole reason that it hasn't deviated from its main course. It has been all about the title. Unlike many other mighty franchises like Assassin's Creed for exampe.
Ahhh filipina game streamer u got my support. First time in your chanel.
Welcome Jay and thanks for the support!
@@SnaxanGaming are u going play assassinscreed valhalla? I will consider your review so that i can play it too if its good game.
You'll have to play the others to get the full story. Basically Kratos is the demi god son of Zeus with a mortal named Callisto. There was a prophecy that a marked man would bring the destruction of the gods of Olympus. Ares and Athena raided Sparta and captured Deimos the brother of Kratos and send him to the underworld to be eternally tormented by the god of death Thanatos.. But they got the wrong one. The one who the prophecy mentioned was actually Kratos. He was the youngest and most successful spartan general. Then one day against the Barbarians his army got slaughtered and he was minutes away from death. In this moment of weakness Kratos called for the God of War Ares who happenes to also be his half brother to save him and destroy his enemies and if he does so his life belongs to Ares. Ares did so and now Kratos became the champion of Ares. But no mere sword and shield would befit the champion of the god of war so Ares gave Kratos the Blades of Chaos, forged by the god of blacksmiths Hephaestus in the deepest and foulest depths of Hades. The blades would be seared in the flesh of the bearer up to the bone as a reminder of the oath the bearer made with the God of War. As the champion of Ares Kratos was ordered to destroy city after city that wasn't revering him as he coveted all of Olympus and the throne of Zeus himself. To ensure that the Spartan became the perfect warrior and was bound to his will, Ares and the Furies devised three blood tests for Kratos. The first had already been completed: spilling the blood of enemies. The second, spilling the blood of innocents, was easy to accomplish with Kratos' rising bloodlust as he ended countless lives with his Spartan companions, and conquered most of Greece. The last rite was spilling the blood of loved ones. Ares led Kratos to attack a village built in honor and worship of Athena. The Spartan soldiers ruthlessly killed all who lived in the village and burned their homes to the ground in the process. Upon reaching a strange temple, Kratos was warned by the Village Oracle not to venture within its walls. Ignoring the old woman, Kratos, blinded by bloodthirst, killed all who were within the walls of the temple, including his wife, Lysandra, and his daughter, Calliope. Ares appeared before the bloodstained hands of Kratos and told him that it was necessary to have his family eliminated so that nothing stood in his way.
The ashes of Kratos' loved ones were gathered by the Village Oracle who then placed them upon his skin as a permanent reminder of the monster he had become: the Ghost of Sparta. And he was also cursed to wander the earth forever.
After the events of gow 1 Kratos becomes the champion of the gods for 10 years being promised to be forgiven of his past deeds. But what he truly wants is to be ridden of his nightmares of killing his family wich the gods do not grant him. In Gow3 Kratos basically slaughtered the entire Greek pantheon in revenge for being betrayed by Zeus and the gods not fully fuffiling their end of the bargain. But each God controls a different aspect of the world and with their death that aspect is destroyed. Helio's death makes the sun dissappear, Poseidon's death creates floods that kill countless and turn the waters into sea water etc. Basically Kratos wrecked Greece quite badly and made life a living hell for the survivers. At the end of the game he stabs himself with the blade of olympus and releases the power of hope to humanity.
GOW 4 is Krato's path to redemption and being finally at peace with his past. There's a reason he's so harsh with Atreus. He doesn't want Atreus to became the animal and monster he was and he's still traumatised about his past not being able to comunicate emotions too well.
Kratos is not a demigod anymore, he became god of war after he killed ares and then zeus betrayed him and took his powers, after kratos came back from the underworld he went on a journey to change his fate and then he killed the sisters of fate to go back to the moment zeus killed him. after that he and the titans attacked Olympus and that when kratos goes commando killing all of Olympus gods
The tattoo on his neck says boy
I dont have ps4, i only watch all the playthrough atleast parang nakapag laro ka na din huhu
Haha! You're me back when I didn't have a PS4. I would even watch horror game playthroughs because I'm too scared to play them myself sometimes. :)
I like your 'aiyaiyaiyai..' it's funny 😅
Please finish the game ate Sarah! The story is amazing to the end, love to see you play more of this!
*First time here..* Really enjoyed watching you play and the way you were reacting. Can't wait for the next *_God of War_* episode.
P.S. *[WARNING]* If you can. Have someone vet your comments before you read them. I've seen a lot of blind playthroughs, ruined by trolls giving out spoilers.
Good luck with the game. I hope you get to enjoy the storyline and playing as much as I did.
@sid'istic Atheist thanks so much for stopping by the channel! It makes me happy to hear that you enjoyed the playthrough and reactions. I'm up to part 6 now and you're free to watch through! Also that's a great point on the comments. I do now have someone going through the comments first so I don't get spoiled. Hope to see you back soon!
@@SnaxanGaming I'm marathon watching them now. thx. Oh! and may I congratulate you on the first gamer I've watched, that pronounces Kratos's name correctly. Krat as in rat. Not as in Cray.. Kudos to you. tee hee
For real it's pronounced that way!? I thought I've been pronouncing it wrong the whole time and people have been saying the correct way is CRAY?
@@SnaxanGaming Yes.... For proof. Watch the opening of this video. ( just the opening. Coz it's filled with spoilers) This is an historian i've followed for years, that's actually Greek. So nobody can argue that he's wrong.. lol th-cam.com/video/YAxdtECAjPQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey Sarah, just stumbled upon your channel and I'd like to say your gameplay videos are so wholesome to watch. I do recommend you play Detroit Become Human. The game is amazing and you should give it a try.
The funny part is that on her third try she fought but she’s saying bad things to them even though she’s actually doing better than the second time because she had no health but this time she has health so it’s not like a life or death situation and they haven’t even been hitting her once
Element water, because ice too.
Sub-zero is my favorite ksksks
pag meron pong red circle na lumabas unblockable yan need dodge pag yellow circle dapat timing last second na shield or dodge
You could have waited for the right time to parry their attacks. If u did they would stunned. Then throw the axe at one of them and hit the other with melee. If a third attached comes parry at the right time, recall the axe and give a heavy attack followed by light attacks
yooo u really are a loot master, wtf I have not seen those black wolves there before lmao
LOL John, funny you mention because in all my older streams everyone would always make fun of it, like there goes Sarah off the beaten path looking for loot again SMH
Sarah Carlos lol I can see why but it’s a better experience in the long run when getting the little legendary loots... but I’m on part 2 so I’ll see ur journey haha
Glad you play this game, hoping you finish this game
the way you look when you started playing a god of war game and the way you look when you finished playing god of war 3 is a big change, now you're from the Olympus.
1:19:24 "Bitch!"
lmao that cracked me up
30:00 it was so funny how u said his name 😂 high content
