I feel ashamed for playing the last 2 GoW games. Both games follow formal sociopath-turned-god killer Kratos as he relearns being a parent before helping the "noble" non-Aesir (nonwhites +) bring down the "evil" Aesir gods (Whites). I list the AntiNorse, Antiwhite aspects below:
  • The Aesir gods are portrayed as tyrannical villains:
    • Thor is a murderous drunk who beat his sons
    • Heimdall is a superbly arrogant prick
    • Odin is a Jew-like wizard, deceitful. scheming tyrant
      • he and Asgard tyrannize the Dwarves, Giants and Vanir
    • The Valkyries and Honored Norse Dead are villainous minions
  • The Giants of Jotunheim are tragic, near-extinct victims of Asgard and multi-racial.
  • Surtr, Fenrir and Jörmungandr are good guys
  • The only “Good” gods are those helping the other races against “evil” Asgard
    • Mimir is Odin's former advisor who’s locked up by Odin and freed by Kratos & son, whom he joins against Asgard
    • The Aesir god Tyr opposed Asgard only to be imprisoned
    • Thor’s young daughter Thrud sides with Kratos & friends during Ragnarok
    • Freya, Fretr and the Vanir are among Asgard’s “oppressed” victims
    • Thor’s wife Sif makes peace with the Vanir who forgive the surviving Aesir for their “crimes”
  • The Vanir are made up of Whites and nonwhites
  • Kratos' son is Loki (also good guy) and has a black giant love interest.
  • Kratos leads all 8 other Realms and their races against Asgard and aids in its destruction (which is portrayed as a great and noble victory)
  • After the main story, the NPC blacksmith(s) is replaced by a bisexual she-dwarf
  I confess I enjoyed the original 3 GoWs and the 2 Prequel games on PS3. That stuff was brutal, awesome and awe-inspiring (especially GoW3). I also admit playing GoW3 where you kill Greece's Gods (and Greece in the process) is pretty antiGreek and thus antiWhite. However, GoW2 and 3 didn’t pretend that Kratos was tragic or misunderstood. Dude was a straight up monster who killed cities and innocents and those games KNEW it.   The greatest tragedy of this game all is the gameplay in GoW 2018 and GoW:R is SPECTACULAR. Awesome combat, a clever 3rd weapon (the Draupnir Spear), clever element type (Bifrost), great finisher animations, great use of RPG elements like side quests and item crafting, boss fights with awesome cinematography. The Jerks at SONY even gave the game's character's stellar performances. Were it not for the antiWhiteness and antiNorseness, I’d still have both Norse GoWs in my collection.   Story wise, Kratos the ex-sociopath relearning fatherhood is a good premise. However, I completely object the Norse GoWs ultimately having you dethrone the Norse Gods who've been turned into villains supporting the insidious "Evil White, noble everything else" trope.   In Summary: EXCELLENT gameplay and gameplay features: +5 Blatantly AntiWhite and AntiNorse: -3 VERDICT: 2/5
