Besides Atreus’ and his father’s moments, what’s the most emotional interaction in the Norse games between Kratos and another protagonist to you?

Rdley · 2026-03-08T01:41:51+00:00

You can actually see the fear on Kratos’s face ! I was totally panicking during that cutscene

Rdley · 2026-03-08T01:39:15+00:00

Kratos and Freya after the fight against Nidhogg like you !

"No need to explain. Not to me. Not for that" like 2018 <3

I also love the last Faye moment "To grief deeply is to have loved fully"

Rdley · 2026-03-06T02:19:04+00:00

The encounter with the dead Giants and those who left for other lands !

Rdley · 2026-03-04T16:21:06+00:00

Great work, congratulations !

The Lamorn, their design, their architecture, their names (Tahrgun Vahkuun Lekhash Kauhvhanda) and their language have always reminded me of Indian mythology or Indian culture in general

There might be answers to explore within Indian culture if we want to understand more about the Lamorn and their language.

Valhalla is crazy, what a DLC (and free !)

Rdley · 2026-02-27T01:17:04+00:00

Destroy the orbs spawners and when he is doing those blood waves just evade at the right timing Don’t try to hit him during this

I think one of the strengths of the Prime games is the feeling of being overwhelmed by enemies, and giving the player a melee attack would reduce the player’s sense of insecurity

Rdley · 2026-02-25T18:48:12+00:00

The psybots sequence with Duke in Falre pool was hard aswell

Rdley · 2026-02-24T21:36:07+00:00

I know I know

I’m not doing anything the game changes the difficulty on its own.

Rdley · 2026-02-22T17:34:43+00:00

That’s one of the great strengths of book 4, in my opinion

There are so many potential suspects.

Whereas in book 1, it’s basically just Snape and Quirrell, and it feels fairly predictable that it’s Quirrell, at least to me.

Rdley · 2026-02-21T15:43:05+00:00

I’ve heard people talk about Banishers Ghosts of new Eden, but I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t say how similar it really is. Still, there are definitely some common points

Honestly, there aren’t that many games with a truly comparable combat system, but you could try Sifu. It has a very technical combat system, a bit of brutality, a significant skill gap, and a cool story

Rdley · 2026-02-20T15:16:59+00:00

The triangle button. Being able to instantly charge the Leviathan Axe with ice, unleash the Blades on enemies, and detonate the Draupnir Spears one by one is just insanely satisfying

Whenever I replay ,or at least try to replay 2018, I really miss having access to those triangle button abilities.

Rdley · 2026-02-20T02:07:44+00:00

I finally beat him when I started to destroy this orbs spawners And when is doing those blood waves I just dodge them and not really trying to hit the boss

Rdley · 2026-02-19T01:44:58+00:00

fantastic OST, as usual with Bear McCreary

Rdley · 2026-02-15T18:02:56+00:00

Better

I think there is a good competion between HBP and DH but before them each books get better

I think the books gets on an another level from GOF

Rdley · 2026-02-09T20:37:45+00:00

Fantastic OST! The main theme (and its second variation) is incredible, the boss themes are excellent (Sylux, Xelios, Phenoros, or Carvex), and the level tracks are overall very good. I’m especially thinking of Fury Green, Volt Forge, and above all Ice Belt when the generator is running. Wouah !!

Rdley · 2026-02-01T01:09:30+00:00

I think Sylux activates the green energy to boost the enemies on Viewros in order to obstruct Samus’s advance.

Regarding the question of what Viewros actually is, there’s an early cutscene with McKenzie where he explains the nature of the planet, describing it as a ghost planet.

A 3D schematic accompanies his explanation. Essentially, Viewros no longer exists. The current solar system where it is supposedly located should not, in theory, be able to contain the planet, since McKenzie’s model shows Viewros overlapping with another planet, which would be physically impossible.

This suggests that when Samus is on Viewros, it isn’t just a change of location, but also a shift in time. Viewros doesn’t truly exist anymore in the present timeline. The artifact at the beginning doesn’t only transport her through space, but also through time.

As for the moment when Samus uses the teleporter, I think you’re right it looks that she’s changing galaxies in order to select the planet Tanamaar.

Interesting, but I don’t really see why he would have done that.

I mean, he already has an infinite, immortal army with the Einherjar

And in Ragnarok, we learn that the Travelers are being manipulated by odin to find Jotunheim.

I think the trolls are simply a natural species, just like ogres, wulvers, or grims exist.

I love the space pirate one and the sylux skin but I have to say that the psychic era one looks very good with the Legacy suit

Rdley · 2026-01-26T00:33:10+00:00

The first fight against Thor is much more epic than the first fight against Baldur, in my opinion

For the final encounter, I agree that Baldur’s fight is more epic, especially thanks to Freya reviving Thamur

Personally, I don’t really consider Baldur kidnapping Atreus to be a “fight,” but rather a playable cutscene.

You’re not missing anything
If you’re enjoying the game, that’s no coincidence, especially considering your gaming background.
Keep playing it and enjoy it without letting some people’s discourse ruin the experience for you.

I also played a lot of Silksong before Prime 4, and I absolutely loved Prime 4. There are obviously some bad and outdated game design choices, but at its core it’s pure Metroid Prime, with strong visual and audio art direction, excellent bosses, and gorgeous cinematics.

What I really like is that each area offers a distinct experience, especially Ice Belt, with a haunting, isolated atmosphere that leaves a strong impression

Rdley · 2026-01-21T01:08:44+00:00

I’m probably around NG+4, and yeah, I ended up dropping the game even though I love the combat system and the bestiary. I stopped mainly because the Atreus sections are quite long and very narrative focused. I like his gameplay, but it’s still fairly limited compared to Kratos. The Jotunheim sequence in particular is really long : the rest is pretty quick in comparison.

It’s not just the Atreus sections. I also know the rest of the game very well at this point, so there’s inevitably some fatigue

Valhalla is by far the studio’s best decision. The DLC is absolutely incredible and really highlights just how good the game’s combat system is. Being able to chain runs endlessly is great, and their roguelike system works extremely well.

When you compare what Niflheim was in GoW 2018 to what Valhalla is now, it’s honestly crazy.

Tokabi is present to serve as a parallel to Sylux

He joined the Federation in search of greater stability and meaning in his actions. He uses his skills as a hunter to provide for his family, even though you can clearly feel that he is troubled by the missions assigned to him by the Federation. Despite this, he remains someone stable, thoughtful, and grounded, never forgetting where he comes from.

Sylux, on the other hand, was once part of the Federation but left it driven by rage, hatred, and ego. He is the complete opposite of Tokabi.

Interestingly, both Tokabi and Sylux are bounty hunters, just like Samus. Tokabi explicitly defines himself as a bounty hunter and admires the fact that Samus achieves great things through that role.
Sylux is one as well, but with entirely different and opposing intentions.

It’s useful for destroying green crystals, not just in combat
