"I got to walk around like I had those biceps"
Series veterans Kratos and Atreus were always going to be the main stars of the Santa Monica Studio epic God of War Ragnarok, but the more you play its 30+ hour campaign, the more its cast of new faces threaten to steal the show.

Hands On God of War Ragnarok on PS5, PS4 Is PlayStation At Its Pomp
Impressive, boy
After several hours with God of War Ragnarok there are some things we can tell you and much, much more we cannot, but we’ll begin with our overriding sentiment so far: this is why we love PlayStation.

I think it's a game that oozes...
Game of the Year 2018 #1 - God of War
Kratos returns to his throne
God of War may just be the greatest comeback story of all time.

Soapbox Why God of War Needs an Expansion Pack
Please sir, can I have some Norse?
I’m rarely ready for a sequel immediately after finishing a game, but if Sony said God of War 2 was out next week I’d be right at the front of the queue.

Soapbox Why God of War Will Scratch Your Zelda Itch
A link to the past
Of all the games I expected God of War to remind me of, The Legend of Zelda was probably right at the very bottom of my list.

It has a cinematic...

Greek tragedy
The new God of War is an extraordinary game and it represents a seismic shift for one of Sony’s most beloved first-party franchises, but with more than a week to go until the title tosses its axe at retailers around the world, you should fill the time with one of Kratos’ previous adventures.
