The latest God of War title has hit the gaming community like a bloody storm. With perfect review scores all over the world and the DFTG newsroom here unable to stop talking about, Cory Barlog and his crew have shown that it is possible to not only successfully revamp a franchise, but also to slam it out of the park.

We’ve previously shared one of our favourite YouTube channels, Lore in a Minute, in the past because their 60 second clips break down what you need to know about popular games and their lore – but on a time budge. They’re also hilarious and pretty much guaraunteed to be worth the watch. Their latest video takes on Kratos and his helpful son, Boy … erm, Atreus and what God of War for the PlayStation 4 has to offer. In a place where you can’t wait the video? No worries! We’ve got a transcript below:

“Odin and the Aesir ruled the nine realms of the world tree Yggdrasil and obsessively secured their dominance. Odin cut out his own eye to drink from the well of wisdom, tricked the seer Groa into collecting runic tomes to see the future and killed her for her knowledge, and he exiled the prophesied threats of Loki’s children – Hel, Jormungandr and Fenrir.

Thor, eager to prove his might, used his hammer Mjolnir to slay Thamur, the Jotun stone mason who built walls to protect Jotunheim from the unhinged god of thunder. Feeling responsible, Sindri and Brok, Mjolnir’s creators, gladly crafted a new weapon, the Leviathan Axe, to restore balance to the realms. Frost Giants, Dwarves, the Vanir gods, all were displeased with Odin and Thor’s violent bravado.”

Well, enemies of Asgard, your prayers are answered. Kratos, a demigod with a knack for toppling mythologies just strolled into Scandinavia. His wife requested her ashes be spread from the highest point in the realms so he’ll drag his son Atreus all over Yggdrasil to find it. Unfortunately, Kratos will find that raising a well-adjusted boy as a single father may require more than a ratty beard, a mythical axe and a quick-time event.”
