Jesus ******* christ. They open with that?

Yeah man. Back to back I thought it was horrible. Like right after doggo and still in the beginning

Spoiler

the two bear cubs

So after the second time in the story playing as Atreus

Spoiler

in Ironwood it just feels too long. I don't mind small sections as Atreus, like playing as Ciri in Witcher, it tells the story. But this section just felt like a drag. Getting around on Jalla might have been OK as the chapter feels like it's supposed to be a change of pace and to tell us more about the prophecy, but after the third time punctuated by walking, talking and a bit of combat I was honestly a bit over it

Kvasir Poems and Sindris house Easter egg

Spoiler

I just noticed the poems are references to other Sony games and they appear on the bookshelf inside the house.

Late game character identity reveal. Exact location in story feels very close to a point of no return if there is in fact one.

Spoiler: click only if you're 100% certain

wow wow wow, hold up. Odin was impersonating Tyr the entire time?! I don't think I picked up on a single clue that was the case

Spoiler

Huge wow moment, I normally pick up on twist very early but this one got me blind sided. Made so much sense given how the character acted throughout

A quote regarding a large animal.

did you find real Tyr?

 

[dwwaino]

did you find real Tyr?

Spoiler

yeah, certainly wasn't expecting to find him at all and didn't think there would be much of that prison besides collectables

After about 45 hours I finaly beat the story man what a game.

Spoiler

There were times where Tyr sounded a bit sus but man I did not see the twist coming where he was Odin the whole time holly cow what shock made sense too.

Also love the character development of Sindri. He's totaly angry at Kartos and Atreus and blaming them for Brok dying I thought he would forgive them but nope I'm intrested to see where they will take his story next.

Odin killing Thor that's your son what a piece of s**t.

Enjoying the post game stuff with Freya by your side.

Easily my game of the year

Spoiler

I feel like he wasn't killed entirely. That weird fading away was ambiguous.

I think there will be an Atraeus spin off game and we might see Thor team up with him again!

Finished it yesterday, around the say time as well. The story was fantastic, really damn good, some sections were a little slow but were fine overall.

Sindri is probably the one character who I was annoyed at how they ended it for him, I was hoping he would have a suitable conclusion, hit the feels with him. I suspect we'll get a game or DLC about Atreus finding the other giants and Sindri will appear and we'll get him a happy ending.

Has anyone done any investigation on how it all worked yet?

My only thing, while an amazing twist, is I'm not sure if it could've worked in how we saw all the chains of events happening.

As in,

Spoiler

can Odin split himself, so he could be in two places at once? Or was it literally him as Tyr when we saw that and obviously him as Odin when we saw him. Because that's the part that seemed like there could be some plot holes in.

Also I'd love to know if there were actual clues hidden throughout as well.

Is this game good enough to get as a bundle with the PS5? Never played any god of wars before

All 5 of them are great. Be sure to at least play the one prior.

I won't be playing one prior might be getting it with the bundle since that's the only place that's selling the PS5 that isn't sold out at the minute

One small but incredible detail I loved was early on, you could see where Freya’s makeup had been running from where she had been crying.

Such attention to detail.

Just finished, great game.
The Thor & Odin fights were great. Apart from the yak section I really liked the switches to Atreus. Also enjoyed having Freya as a companion.
Not many faults or things I didn't like. Neck and neck with Elden Ring for my goty. Think it took me 40 hours all up. Unsure if I can be bothered with the rest of the post game. I did most things I found apart from bezerkers
