2022 was the year of spectacle in the world of gaming. The year was blessed with many masterclass games that won praise from both critics and fans. Among these two of the most well-known and acclaimed games of the year was God of War: Ragnarok and Elden Ring. Both of them were nominated for the “Game of the Year” award at the prestigious Game Awards 2022

Accolades aside, both of the games are highly adored by fans, and almost all of them at least once pondered this question. What if they were combined?

Except for the weapons and character skins, the game was the same (at least for the most part). But Taylor had another spectacle waiting for his viewers at the end of the video.

Thor had the same movies as Radagon, but instead of wielding the Marika’s Hammer, he was equipped with his trusty Mjollnir!
