What a sequel should be. Masterful character work, and some great boss fights. Improvements on the first game in terms of gameplay and enemies, but I play games for the stories and man... elite. I finished the game on a binge which was so cinematic. Christopher Judge as Kratos is a defining role in fiction. The entire Norse Pantheon of characters that come into play here are rich and deep characters. Atreus is fun and a welcome addition to gameplay. I love it.

Something about these games that still bugs me, which is so nitpicky but I can't get over it, is that bro can't jump. I may be able to fight Odin himself, but Valhalla forbid I need to hurdle over a stone to explore a little bit.
