God of War Ragnarok continued the story of Kratos and his son Atreus, following up on the beloved God of War. This newest arc in the series has been defined by how it has reinvented Kratos. The original God of War games depicted him as a violent killer with a heart of stone. The Kratos of God of War Ragnarok and its predecessor, on the other hand, is reformed. He is not immune to anger, but he is trying to live a more virtuous life than he was before, all while setting a strong example for his son, Atreus. The dynamic that the two share is what has made the Norse saga special.
