Fun mode. The challenges are awesome. If you are the kind of player to switch weapon mid-combo this DLC is for you. Valhalla is an aptitude test for your mechanical mastery of the combat; and a genuine healing journey. We've never gotten anything quite like this before. I beat it in less than six hours and my mind is blown from the quality of this FREE update.

The writing of God of War Ragnarok becomes somehow more powerful over time as it reconciles a lot of trauma Kratos and friends have over the terrible things that have happened in their lives and it's not corny in the slightest. If someone told me in 2007 that Kratos would go to therapy and have friends who accept him for exactly who he was, and as he currently stands -- I would not believe them. But we are here and this content is untouchable in it's healing narrative. I feel like a monumental task has been accomplished here.

Even the chuds who are going to be talking a lot of shit on Youtube and TikTok about this being woke and gay are going to be lowkey crying and finding emotional resonance and peace with what happens. There is going to be input delay the next time a hard R comes out their mouth. This shit is powerful.

Valhalla is fucking FREE too. Sony could have charged money for it but it was put out for free and I'll remember it as one of their biggest dubs of this year.
