Trivia
The game makers considered Egyptian mythology as a new setting, but chose Norse mythology as it felt more natural for Kratos.

Goofs
How exactly did Kratos make his way from Greece to Midgard? The Greek religion and the Norse religion are both separate religions. Also, both Odin and Zeus claim to be the creators. How can this be? Did Odin and Zeus know each other? There is no explanation as to how both stories connect, or how the concept of the nine realms connect with the Greek realms.

Quotes
[Kratos dons his Blades of Chaos]
Athena: There's nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not: teacher, husband, father. But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: You cannot change. You will always be a monster.
Kratos: I know. But I am your monster no longer.

It really is that good

How do you have zero loading screens but maintain an awe inspiring level of graphics and a deeply engrossing story? The rendering is something to behold.

The combat is superb. There was a part (several tbh) where I thought, this is too good to be true, but it wasn't and I was actually playing it.

Santa Monica Studio did an an absolutely incredible job and deserve all the credit that comes their way.
