You've probably seen cool gifs of Kratos throwing the axe at a draugr and recalling it back to his hand like Thor's Mjölnir hammer. Here, again, Sony Santa Monica leverages Kratos' supernatural might to let you do impossible things with an axe, like cleave three enemies in half with a single move. In combat, the Leviathan is a gratifying balance of heft and speed that hits a lot harder than Kratos' old Blades of Chaos. It can pry open doors, destroy obstacles, freeze machinery in place, or be thrown the length of a football field to nab hard-to-reach loot. The axe is your primary weapon and do-it-all multitool throughout the entire game. One character introduced halfway through is easily the best part of the game, a wise old grandpa figure brimming with useful advice and stories to fill the dead air while the trio boat around Midgard.įor as good as God of War's characters and stories are, my strongest memories all revolve around one of the greatest weapons in videogames: the Leviathan Axe. Their relationship evolves organically as they take on the world together, but Sony Santa Monica was smart to let side characters do some heavy lifting as well. Kratos, meanwhile, is an emotionally distant father who projects his own issues on other people. Be better," Kratos tells him after taking a careless shot at a deer). Atreus is determined to prove he's ready to make the journey and pressured to live up to Kratos' high standards ("Do not be sorry. It's obvious from the jump that the two aren't close. It's not exactly a new narrative trick to pair a strong silent type with an inquisitive youngster, but unlike the developing relationship of Joel and Ellie, Atreus and Kratos already have a layered rapport that's steadily peeled back over time. Lifting big rocks wouldn't be near as fun without the back and forth banter with Atreus (or as he's often called, "boy"). For a character that used to mostly show his toughness by killing every living thing in the room, it's nice to see Kratos throw his weight around the world itself. Where Nathan Drake looks for a chain to lift an ancient pulley, Kratos simply throws his axe at the gears so hard that they spin. It's both cool and funny how often Atreus ponders how they're going to cross a gap just as Kratos lifts a beam the size of six cars or spins an entire building like it's a windup toy. These games will also be available via the Playstation Network as well.ĮDIT: Sony has confirmed that the price of the God of War Saga and Infamous Collection will be $39.99 while Ratchet and Clank will be $29.99.My strongest memories all revolve around one of the greatest weapons in videogames: the Leviathan Axe.
Additional character costumes, power ups and weapon styles.

#GOD OF WAR SAGA TRIAL#
Voucher For 1 Trial Month of PlayStation Plus.God of War: Origins Collection (which includes God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta).A great price considering the amount of content announced for both Infamous and God of War, which features. The game collections are starting at $30. Well it seems Sony has the answer as they announced today that the God of War Saga, Infamous Collection and Ratchet and Clank HD will be hitting shelves on August 28th 2012. Surely there must be an easier way of owning the hyper-violent brawler so you can get your QTE fix. Sure you could buy the 2 different versions of the God of War Collections, as well as God of War 3 and put that on your shelf and say you have the entire collection while you wait for the next title but that’s taking up a lot of room on your shelf and possibly a lot of damage to your wallet.
