Santa Monica Studios revealed their new take on the God of War series, with a new camera perspective, more fleshed-out combat, and more focus on the emotional aspects of Kratos’ character. This transition received a mixed response from fans, at first. At its launch, the game proved to be successful and its story and high sales numbers earned it a sequel.
This brings us to the Behemoth, that is God of War: Ragnarok. A larger world, a story with a larger scale, and more characters. The story basically carried on from where God of War 2018 left. But its scale was larger and its focus was more on sending fans a heartfelt message that obviously got through.
