In God of War, players assume the role of Spartan warrior and demigod Kratos as he and his son, Atreus, travel to the nine realms to scatter the ashes of his dead wife.
Throughout the journey, they encounter mythical monsters and beings and engage them in combo-based combat.
The game was met with critical acclaim upon release and received multiple Game of the Year awards.
