God of War was released on April 20th 2018 for the PS4 to rave reviews from critics and fans alike, was quickly nominated 2018 Game of The Year by numerous publications, and became the 4thhighest selling Playstation 4 game of all time. The game was developed by SIE Santa Monica Studios to be a flagship PS4 exclusive for Sony, rebooting a beloved franchise with fresh gameplay and a new story anchored in Nordic mythology.
The story picks up years after the end of God of War III with the main character Kratos living in Midgard (Earth in Nordic Mythology) mourning the death of his wife alongside their son (Atreus). The main story has you deposit her ashes upon the top of the highest peak in all the realms. What seems like a cinch for the former Greek God of War turns into one of the most enthralling 40+ hour campaigns video gaming has to offer.
