I liked this game, but more for the beauty and the fighting as you did. I agree the story fell a bit flat and I was partially confused of our motives. I also agree that Kratos was neutered. I like the relentless version of him much better.
I too, have also played all the God of War games. I love the series and will continue to play them.
I'm definitely interested in what they're going to do next with the series. This one was just a crushing disappointment because of how much I loved the previous game.
I didn't enjoy this game, storywise and characterwise in particular. Where the first game had its moments, this one was simply made (rushed to fit a deadline too) just to milk a already dying cashcow. It felt that the "writers" were ticking checkboxes along the way, more focused on the latter, than a coherent, engaging, and even a little bit honest to myth&legend heroic narrative.
They should've stuck to the original vision of having the Norse saga be a trilogy. Instead, they forced everything into this unfocused and overstuffed slogfest.
I expected something like this from an industry kowtowing to ESG ratings and more interested in "modern audience" checkbox lists, than telling a coherent story.
I shit you not: at the end of the game, after Atreus has done nothing but make one terrible decision after another, Kratos gushes about how he's so wise and trustworthy and special.
In spite of my complete NON-interest in this subject, I read the entire thing — which is saying something. Must be the skillful writing…. 🤓
Ha, I am truly shocked! I thought this would be hard pass from you for sure! Thanks for the love and support.

the worse thing to ever happen to video games is making them "art"

Yes. Kratos is completely impotent as a parent in this game. The whole game is basically:
1) Atreus has an idiotically nonsensical idea.
2) Kratos says no, for obvious reasons.
3) Atreus has a little beta male bitch tantrum.
4) Kratos cowers and relents.
5) Rinse and repeat for 50ish hours.

“The President has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?”
Best call to action in gaming history.
Pres kidnapped by ninjas was, honestly, one of the best arcade game plots ever...
Depends on the president, to be perfectly honest.
True! Or how the Terran Morale Officers say in their handbook:
“The greater the villain vanquished, the lasting the peace.”
