    Yeah I agree. Even the new ones aren’t great storywise, but Kratos being a dad is way better than the old scenario I don’t even remember.

      Wasn’t he a dad in the old ones, too? I vaguely remember something about him protecting his family or some kind of tragedy related to them.

        yes he was already a father. Ares tricked him into killing his wife and child. so his whole revenge arc spirals from that.

          Even his skin is white/gray because it’s covered in the ashes of his wife and daughter.

      Right? It humanizes the half-god. And yet I just saw earlier that that was David Jaffe’s (original creator) biggest complaint of the new Kratos.

        I was also surprised to read that. I even tried to forget who Kratos was in the first games to focus on the new ones.
