God of War is a soft reboot for the epic franchise by Santa Monica Studios. The Ghost of Sparta, Kratos, is now much older and wiser. Having defeated the entire Greek pantheon, Kratos now lives in a realm of Norse mythology alongside his son Atreus. God of War is also heavily reinvented, stepping away from the hack and slash mechanics of the series and taking it into a more intimate level of skill based combat, alongside new RPG elements such as unlocking abilities and upgrading stats, as well as changing the look of your equipment.
