God of War (2018) is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It serves as a soft reboot and continuation of the God of War series, shifting from Greek to Norse mythology. The game follows Kratos, a former Greek god, and his young son Atreus as they embark on a journey to scatter the ashes of Kratos’ late wife, Faye, from the highest peak in the Nine Realms.

Unlike its predecessors, God of War features an over-the-shoulder perspective, deep storytelling, and an emotionally driven narrative. Kratos wields the Leviathan Axe, offering strategic combat, while Atreus assists with archery and magical abilities. The father-son relationship is central to the story, exploring themes of loss, redemption, and destiny. With stunning visuals, rich lore, and immersive gameplay, God of War won multiple Game of the Year awards and is widely regarded as one of the best games of its generation.
