In the beginning of God of war II, kratos gets betrayed by Zeus and loses all of his godly power (and one would assume his status as a god along with it). Even though kratos eventually ends up killing Zeus and almost all other gods, god of war 2018 is mainly built around the fact that kratos is a god and atreus is a god. w1Ei. While in previous games Kratos has relied heavily on the Blades of Chaos, the weapons given to him by the Greek Gods, in the new God of War Kratos is seen wielding a single axe.

At the end of GOW III Kratos gets thrown into his own psyche, where the spirit of hope (Pandora) guides him through self-forgiveness and acceptance of his past sins.

The new star of the show is undeniably the Leviathan Axe, which Kratos can swing, throw, and recall just like Kratos Goes to Egypt in God of War Comics. A lot of fans already knew that Kratos had been to Egypt. It was revealed in Tyr's Vault that other pantheons exist and that Kratos had encountered some Story-wise, everything in God of War III fell to the wayside. I still love this game but to me, it's a narrative failure and the new one did a fantastic job salvaging what little remained of Kratos. /endrant Feel free to downvote me. Maybe it's just oldmanism, and the empathy in me that isn't as amused with violence as he used to be.

is kratos still a god of war
