I was a little skeptical about the idea of randomly bringing God of War to a Norse setting, especially while keeping Kratos as the main character, but the plot of the game is surprisingly good—much better than the action focused prequels—delivering one hell of a redemption story, and the game-play—though completely revamped—kicks ass as well.
