God of War Ragnarok
(Sony)The 2018 revamp of hack and slash franchise God of War was an emotional doozy, trading the franchise’s trademark violence for an intimate story between father and child. The game’s sequel was arguably even more of a tearjerker, as divine dad Kratos struggles to parent his teenage son. While fighting against the worst father ever, the Norse god Odin, Kratos attempts to serve as a role model for Atreus – a difficult task when all you’ve known in your life is suffering, trauma, and rage. The game features on of the most insightful, goose bumps inducing quotes about the nature of loss: “the culmination of love is grief.” It’s a phrase spoken to Kratos by a vision of his deceased wife, as she attempts to coax him to open his heart to his loved ones despite the inevitable pain such intimacy will cause. Devastating, complicated, gorgeous – God of War Ragnarok will teach you more about grief than any psychology course.
