While Ragnarök improved the gameplay & enemy variety, God of War 2018 was the better story - the father-son dynamic was done so well, immersive dialogues & world building, all the subtle hints to Kratos’ past, likeable side characters & quests, plus Baldur was a brilliant & beautifully tragic villain.
Also Kratos feels and plays much stronger here than in ragnarok with the sound fx and visuals looking and sounding much better too. Overall this game conveys the feeling of GOW more within a self contained story whereas Ragnarok kinda felt like a pseudo GOW mixed with a shitty subversive marvel movie with a lackluster "ragnarok" and underwhelming villains and bossfights. Losing all of the potiental, world building and lore built up and established within GOW 4. The way the stories told by Mimir of Thor and Odin made you think they absolutely ruthless and intimidating threats whereas they were actually somewhat sad and pathetic and once again underwhelming
I missed your play style. Can't wait to learn new strats AND to see how you've refined my favorite video of yours. Magni and Modi's boss fight. Good stuff, man. Good stuff.
Played this game four countless hours and I have watched all of your videos. Only today have I found out that you can interrupt the fire troll attack and stomp by throwing the axe at his hand and leg. You're really an artist, SmvR.
Bro is impressed by the talent of SmvR. Not everyone wants to beat the enemy in every possible way. For example, I am lazy in a fight. I am waiting for the enemy to turn his back to me to click his a*s. I like just light attack with the axe, evading and paring.
I remember being so excited when this was announced back in 2016.. and then again when it released in 2018. It's 2024.. how has so much time passed so quickly.. seeing this appear in the feed once again brought back a slice of that excitement from 2018. Thanks for the upload. If only santa monica studios would consider doing a God of War 1 Remake. I would love to kill Ares again on the Ps5. And it would be good to see a younger Ghost Of Sparta in his unrestrained fury.
8:24:27 I just realised that these measurements that Brok and Sindri took of mimir allowed him to fit in the mechanism they used to create realm travel in gow ragnarok 😂
Congratulations bro, i know you’ve been working on this one for a WHILE, i plan on watching the full vid but i just thought I’d drop in and say, your dedication to this game and GOWR is truly inspiring. Can’t wait to see what you upload next.
@RAGE-OF-SPARTA-X greatly appreciated Rage! I have to admit there was a lot of procrastination, we’re talking months of not gaming due to lack of passion, but it’s finally here and I can move on to the next. :)
Just watched some your videos regarding fighting in GOW. And now I’ve killed two berserkers without any restart/death. Turns out I didn’t even imagine you could be aggressive and parry mid combo/fighting. That was eye opening for me. (Also I went from level 5 to 7 after finishing the crater). Thanks!
I see you've been studying my videos very carefully, & especially making great use of my latest technique: Infinite Carnage Technique. This is the way. Love to see it.
Baldur is so dope. His VA killed it and the scene at 7:45:44 was just chef’s kiss. Baldur talking to Freya then Kratos trying to redirect. That push… and then “This again?” Then here comes masterful play by SmvR to make it lore accurate.. the world is good.
I ve just finished today and bro... i ve one thing to say: "There he is... there's the God of War" This is by far the best gameplay i ve ever seen! Big respect from Brazil
Bro i just realized that this is a no damage playthrough! How tf….. wow Great job man. Perfect no damage playthrough while remaining stylish and perfect combat mechanic (this is what i like the most) those hours you put on this game. worth it!
Almost four hours into this since you shared it. Your gameplay is, not to put too fine a point on it, peak. I’ve never been more entertained watching gameplay from this title. Absolutely zero wasted movement or energy. Your ability to maintain pressure is just an absolute blast to behold. Legend
Congratulations, once in awhile you get impressed by how precise and Skillful one can be, the determination is absolutely impressive, well done as always It’s good to see you back Can’t wait for your new stuff.
I love this game. It's arguably the greatest game of all time. I remember playing it over and over again on my old Panasonic plasma back when it came out. Even at 30fps the game looked great on that TV.
There is no words to describe what I just witnessed ❤ thank you for making this unbelievable playthrough, i truly enjoyed it 👏 without taking a single hit, plus 3 valkyries, im Speechless, this video needs to be witnessed by millions my friend, keep it ✌️😎
Good return mr smvr Thank you for the old days. I used to comment constantly before changing the account name and I used to follow all your videos Before going to university and at night Thank you for the beautiful memories and we look forward to seeing you again.
What a way to return this is absolutely stunning Can't even imagine the grind to get this done... 💯💪 I see you put in timestamps in your description maybe add one for 0:00. That might fix the chapters.
No worries thanks for looking out! Yeah the long vid is the issue, I’ll see if I can figure something out later, would be nice to have the chapter feature.
SmvR: *returns* The nine realms: Why do we hear boss music? Edit: 2:36:34 Bro, what is this? SmvR is too good, the boss health bar ran away, and the Dark Elf King became basic enemy💀
Bro remembered his channel only to post this classic again
💪🏻
Will that is funny 🤣😂
6:20:42 just casually throwing the axe at Odin’s raven in the middle of a Valkyrie fight is absolutely diabolical
6:20:42 killing the raven while fighting Eir gotta be one of the most disrespectful moves you could do to her lol
Jesus, 8 hours of Goated masterpiece of combat. Bro cooked for months
The legendary god of war player returns
Return of THE GOAT!
While Ragnarök improved the gameplay & enemy variety, God of War 2018 was the better story - the father-son dynamic was done so well, immersive dialogues & world building, all the subtle hints to Kratos’ past, likeable side characters & quests, plus Baldur was a brilliant & beautifully tragic villain.
Baldur is too badass
Still my favorite gameplay
There were some improvements with the gameplay but at the same time, downgrades like removal of certain tunics, mechanics, and bare handed combat
Also Kratos feels and plays much stronger here than in ragnarok with the sound fx and visuals looking and sounding much better too. Overall this game conveys the feeling of GOW more within a self contained story whereas Ragnarok kinda felt like a pseudo GOW mixed with a shitty subversive marvel movie with a lackluster "ragnarok" and underwhelming villains and bossfights.

how how did they improve gameplay please tell me how
2:35:55 bro did intrusive thoughs take care 💀💀
he just murdered atreus 😭😭😭😭😭
Glad to see you're back dude. No damage walkthrough of the entire game is insane! Can't wait to check the whole thing out.
Finally found what I am going to spend my weekend on
No wonder you were gone for so long! Glad to see you back.
how come no one is talking about this axe throw? that is the coolest thing ive ever seen in a video game !
7:24:42
Brooooooooo gthat is crazy!!!!!!!!!!
5:07:49 -
Brok - “So where you off to in such a hurry?”
Kratos - disappears
Brok - “HEY IM TALKING TO YOU!”
Jeez! The more you progressed the more abusive it became 😂. And they couldn't land a single hit the whole playthrough. YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE MENACE!!!
@trevorjones8187 thanks, glad u enjoyed it!
@@SmvR ragnarok next!🔥🔥🔥
An absolute No Damage Master Piece.
@@SmvRam stuck on the two dark elves in jotunheim tower any cheese method?
I missed your play style. Can't wait to learn new strats AND to see how you've refined my favorite video of yours. Magni and Modi's boss fight.
Good stuff, man. Good stuff.
@ExtremeGameplays1 Appreciate it brother! Hopefully crackhead-esque quick turn gameplay fits your definition of refined 😁
It's OHKOver!
@@SmvR will you get to Black Myth: Wukong any time soon?
Played this game four countless hours and I have watched all of your videos. Only today have I found out that you can interrupt the fire troll attack and stomp by throwing the axe at his hand and leg. You're really an artist, SmvR.
Well... it's normal you didn't know cause you don't have that much experience with the game. I mean its not that surprising.

Lore accurate Kratos fr ✊🏽🔥 good to have you back, bro
The best God of War game. Cant believe who they made barehanded combat worthless in the sequel.
Thank you for this upload. Always loved your videos.
Greatly appreciated Anthony
They had good reasoning to remove it, but sometimes I definitely miss it.
You can just go back to 2018
@@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit exactly! Although I miss the bare handed combat. Watering it down in Ragnarok gives me reason to return and enjoy gow 2018

Just when GoW Ragnarok about to release on PC. Nice timing there.
So this is whats been cookin these past few months! Well done sir, gotta love going back to 2018!

Content worth watching with the GOAT of gow
I love this game. It's arguably the greatest game of all time. I remember playing it over and over again on my old Panasonic plasma back when it came out. Even at 30fps the game looked great on that TV.
By far the most impressive play-through I’ve ever seen.

Nice to see you and this amazing game again. Hope you do the same with Ragnarok.
Im so happy i decided to check in on you again today its been a while but im happy you gave us this
Glad you’re back posting man
What a way to return this is absolutely stunning
Can't even imagine the grind to get this done... 💯💪
I see you put in timestamps in your description maybe add one for 0:00. That might fix the chapters.
Appreciate that.
I was unsure if that would make unnecessarily long timeframes that connect each boss eg. 29:38 Stranger to 1:13:14 Brenna daudi
My mistake then i thought you wanted them in there. The feature can be weird to use especially on long vids like this.
No worries thanks for looking out! Yeah the long vid is the issue, I’ll see if I can figure something out later, would be nice to have the chapter feature.
@@SmvR Always bro this is an insane achievement and it deserves millions of views 😁
2:35:55 “goodbye boy”💀
AYEYOOO😂
Wish I had known about the heavy axe throw into wall trick for my play through. These early fights on gmgow are brutal without any skills.
My fave modern GoW player is back🎉🎉🎉🎉!
Good to see you play again, SmvR.
Omg he’s back! Can’t wait to witness cinema again!
Truly thought you were not going to return ☹️.
