God of War is undoubtedly one of the best games of 2022, and the reason behind this is the mind-blowing acting performance by the voice of Kratos, Christopher Judge. This is also why there is a sense of “competition” amongst fans on who is a better actor for video games. And with the release of The Last of Us TV series on HBO Max, it seems that the storytelling part of a game is going to be more important than acting.

This was even more interesting as Christopher Judge recently approved the fact that The Last of Us has a real heart-touching story that not many games have.
