There is a story in God of War: The Official Novelization. The story has twists, tries for poignant moments, and most of all: I could not bring myself to care. This is a ghost of God of War. The novelization manages to visit most of the main moments from the game all while sapping the life and magic from it. I don't want to be down on this book. God of War is a game about father and son made by a studio with a director thinking a lot about how his life has changed since becoming a father. His father wrote the novelization, and that is a very special thing indeed. As always this review can also be found on my blog The Tattooed Book Geek: https://thetattooedbookgeek.wordpress... However, I liked a lot the character since I think that it's not so hard to plot a story around a character that he/she is of good nature and noble motivations, however when he/she is arrogant, despective for other people and with a very dark feeling of vengeance in his/her soul. With the passage of time Kratos had aged, he had traded in the Blades of Chaos for a single axe, the Leviathan axe, his anger whilst still there was now more measured, he was more reflective, thoughtful and as a character, he was far more complex than ever before. Also Kratos's eyes are described as grey and not gold, which doesn't affect anything on a thematic level but it bothers me. Especially since Fallen God's first issue has just been released and yep...those are VERY gold eyes.

But anyway, this is getting long. I did enjoy that we got to see into the head of Kratos and Atreus, specifically Kratos with regards to his son, his emotions about his wife Faye, more of his thought process that you could usually only infer through some motion (or non-motion) he made (or didn't make) in the game. I think I'll return to this world again and again. Everyone should give this game a chance, you will not regret it!Como siempre las adaptaciones de videojuego decepcionan tanto que, a esta altura, al no esperar nada de ellas, no me decepcionan. El problema es que el juego es tan bueno, tan excelente, tan majestuosamente escrito, que el libro es un insulto a la fuente original. Jueguen God of War. I knew that movie to book adaptations were bad, but games are hardly any better. The author was even so kind so as to include practically every single battle scene and enemy encounter that could have been found in the original game itself. Thank you for making exciting battles insanely boring. No. We are not men. We are far more, which makes our responsibilities far greater," his father corrected. Could this boy even comprehend what that meant? "And you must be better than me. Understand?" Atreus stared at the knife, then at his father. He nodded absently. "Say it," Kratos demanded. Explore the culinary delights of God of War as you travel across the nine realms with the inimitable T ý r as your guide. I liked a lot, since it's a fresh take on the Greek mythology and certainly the lead character of Kratos is very different from the usual lead characters that I have read before.

Let’s start with what this book is. An adaptation of the videogame God of War (2018), also known as God of War 4. It’s a reboot of a well-beloved franchise and it follows the journey of Kratos, a former Spartan soldier enslaved by Greek Gods, and his child son Atreus, in their pursuit of fulfilling Kratos’s wife and Atreus’s mother’s last wish: take her ashes to the highest peak of all realms. This story takes place not in a Greek world, but rather a Norse one. Kratos, as a former Greek god, is an intruder in the Norse mythology, and as always, he’s messing up with pantheons and such. Thank you to Insight Editions and Santa Monica Studios for giving me the opportunity to work on this project and create these delicious recipes inspired by the God of War franchise. The Santa Monica team was extremely excited for this project and were very helpful during the whole process. Without you all, this project would not have been possible. I appreciate being able to contribute to the franchise in this way. Midgard, of course, is ‘Earth,’” Barba said. “We see mural images of Týr visiting Egyptian, East Asian, and other Midgardian cultures. It makes sense that a culture junkie and foodie like Týr would gather ‘international’ recipes.”The setting is Ancient Greece during the height of the Greek gods rein. Ares is no longer content with the status quo on Mt. Olympus and has started to stir things up and cause trouble for his sister Athena and his father Zeus. This altercation draws in the other gods as each side attempts to garner support for the others downfall. A degree by Zeus that no god may slay another god brings Kratos front and center as he will be Athena's secret weapon and ultimately Ares' downfall.
