Redefining an iconic game is a risky move, but God of War has managed to do just that, moving from Greek Mythology to Norse in the best way possible. The game starts with Kratos and his son Atreus gathering up wood to build a pyre for his wife. Kratos is visibly older and a lot more mature. They set out on a journey to fulfill his wife's dying wish, to spread her ashes on the highest peak.
