Kratos and Mimir telling Atreus in unison that he can’t use the pipe they found after Mimir explains what it is has to be one of the funniest pieces of dialogue in the entire game.

How much would TFP Megatron and Optimus survive in the God of War Ragnarok universe 🤔
Not a deep question, just want to know how cursed it would be to see them interact with gods and Kratos.
This ask is in response to all the gow and gowr content I have been reblogging, right? Sit down and get comfortable, cause you asked for this, and I don't do things in half. Let's analyze:
These two are giants, metallic and alien ones (and one may be considered a demigod), but still giants by this universe standards
Who has a personal vendetta against giants and is making his midlife crisis everyone's problem? Odin, the paranoid beyond belief All Fucker according to our true god and savior Brok, may he rest in peace
Who kills giants without a care because YOLO, and also because his old man tells him to? Thor
Now, depending on how well they play their cards, and assuming they form a truce (cause unity makes strength), I can imagine these scenarios happening:
They end up dead after a while, either by each other hand, lack of energy source or by the two mentioned above
They survive long enough to gather energon, or any other substitute, and hide. These two learn these truths fast: a) They are on their own, b) Trying to flee is useless and c) Exposing themselves equals death The only logical options are to hide and try to find allies
Their survival chances increases if they manage to find and later gain Atreus loyalty, which ultimately gains them Kratos protection, to some degree. Proving that they can, and will, defend his kid earns them brownie points Who has the best relationship with the God Killer? It depends… but I will leave it to free interpretation
Megs could try to use his silver tongue on Odin, but like recognizes like. He realizes, a bit too late, that the roles have reversed: he is the prey and Odin the predator. Human and harmless as he may appear to be, Odin is neither of those things; he CAN and WILL end the con at any moment. Assuming megs is lucky enough to not be the receiving end of the god curiosity. He's never been more unlucky...
Megs won't risk his freedom for a shaky, and very obvious, one-way alliance. He knows what it feels to be beneath another god heel
It's more than obvious that I hyperfixiated on GOWR. So it was natural for me to involve myself fast and hard into this

It’s late, but I just finished my first Ragnarök playthrough and I wanted to share my thoughts.
Firstly, this game is worth the hype. It’s a beautiful continuation of the 2018 game, and though that one felt big, this one is far bigger. The world itself is on a grander scale, the risks are higher, there are more allies to meet, old relationships to mend, some to watch go to ruin. It’s truly seamless.
I know cinematic, story-driven gameplay isn’t everyone’s forte (and I will be the first to say that I prefer story when I choose my difficulty), but this game had an absolutely fantastic balance of story and combat. The major fights were thrilling and really kept you on your toes, though I will say the smaller enemies you encounter such as the wretches or gulon or the grim (but especially the wretches) are a bit repetitive. Nothing like the trolls in the 2018 game, luckily — just nuisances.
Now, the characters — they’ve grown immensely. We watched the relationship grow and mend in the previous game between Kratos and Atreus, but in Ragnarök we watch it flourish. We start off seeing father and son proud of one another, and while there are ups and downs, we continue to witness their betterment. I’ve mentioned before that through-line of “be better,” and it’s really shown here as well. Once we get Freya on our side again, she continues to blow the player away. We have her as a genuine companion this round, but the grief and anger she feels toward her past comes full-circle in the end, and while it will never quite go away, she has an easier time breathing knowing Odin’s hold on her is no longer. My love for her grew, as did it for all the characters — old and new.
The story in God of War: Ragnarök is truly emotionally-driven and by far one of the most phenomenal games I have ever played. Heart-wrenching, beautiful scenes that make you sit and think, a deeper dive into lore, one-off comments that mean much, much more in the end…incredible.
To see Atreus’ growth within himself, discover who he is, who “Loki” is and will be, this little curious boy we once knew become a young man is truly seamless. His devotion to his father but also to himself in the end, and to the giants, is not lost on me. He will return, we will see him again, Kratos will see him again. Loki goes, Atreus remains.
And Kratos…where to start with him. I will say I came into this series with the 2018 game, so my knowledge and experience with Kratos as a character firsthand is that of the Norse telling. I haven’t ventured into the original trilogy, and I’m not sure I will, but if I do, I know that Kratos will be very different from the one I’ve gotten to know. Though I’ve read up on his past, seen a few videos, etcetera, I might remain biased. (Note that I also tend to play games out of order unintentionally; tftbl before the borderlands series, uncharted 4 before the original games).
In the 2018 game we saw glimpses of a scared, anxious father, not a god, once Atreus fell sick. In Ragnarök, we see more of the fatherly side come out. He trusts his son wholly and fully, he seeks to understand him, and he is open to what the world can teach him. He no longer seeks vengeance, he’s wise and sage, and wishes to, again, “be better.” And, more importantly, make sure his son will be prepared and better than he could ever be.
We only got three, but seeing a (somewhat) vulnerable side of Kratos in those dream sequences with Faye were so lovely. She has been his guide, a teacher without the title, and continues to walk the path with him just like she promised. I wish we had more time with her.
Coming right off a 2018 replay really puts into perspective how massive this game is. The previous one was homegrown: the mission being to scatter the ashes of Faye. In this, there is a war leaking into every realm, no one is left untouched by it, and we see what true evil, unmitigated power could be in the wrong hands. Ragnarök, regardless of how you see it, is a game about family in every way. Found, blood, convinced. Be better. Protect your family. Do what is necessary, not because it is written.
This is long, I know, and I doubt anyone took the time to read this, but I just needed to get my thoughts on the page while they’re fresh. I will, without any doubt at all, be playing this game again soon. And I do truly, truly, highly recommend. It is phenomenal.

Wait…does only one part of Fenrir’s soul go into Atreus’ knife? I saw three parts float past Kratos, but not a fourth…

Fenrir at the beginning of this game never gets easy to watch.

one of my favorite things about the new god of war games is how the menu when you first begin the game flows immediately into gameplay. there’s no fade, you don’t get brought to a credits sequence. the story just starts.
