This God of War Mod lets you play as the original Kratos from God of War 3
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-god-of-war-mod-lets-you-play-as-the-original-kratos-from-god-of-war-3/
Omega Fantasy has shared a video, showcasing an amazing God of War 3 mod for God of War 2018. As the title implies, this mod lets you play as the original Kratos from God of War 3 in the latest God of War game for the PC.
Now we have some good and some bad news here. The bad news is that this mod is behind a Patreon-wall, which kind of sucks. On the other hand, the good news is that there is a similar mod that you can download for free on NexusMods. This free mod does not feel as polished as the one by Omega Fantasy but hey, it’s at least free.
In other news, Jose Alisson released a mod that enables DualSense Adaptive Triggers on PC. You can download this mod from here.

GPUnity has released an amazing HD Texture Pack for Rocksteady’s first Batman Arkham game, Batman: Arkham Asylum. This HD Texture Pack is a must-have for everyone that wants to re-visit this Batman game, and we highly recommend downloading it.
Going into more details, this HD Texture Pack carefully recreates body textures with adjusted specularity that is more in line with Arkham Knight’s material work. Moreover, it packs realistic skin bumps, as well as improved hair normal maps for Joker. Additionally, it completely overhauls the normal maps for Batman.
