Have you played the other games? Or do you at least know the history of them and the general story and personality of Kratos? Bc that is important in order to feel invested in the story.

I freakin hated Kratos prior to GoW 2018. I beat GoW 1, played a couple hours of GoW 2 before losing complete interest, and played most of GoW 3 but couldn’t be bothered to finish it. But the context I got from playing some of the prior games (and watching IGN’s “God of War in 5min”) is part of what made GoW 2018 so special. It’s my favorite game of all time, and Kratos is now one of my favorite characters of all time.
