As God of War celebrates its 20-year anniversary, it reflects on the evolution of its main character, Kratos, and his journey through themes of masculinity and change. Beginning with a dramatic suicide attempt, Kratos' narrative unfolds as he grapples with his past, marked by violence and loss. The early games portray his relentless quest for vengeance against the gods, ultimately illustrating that power and bloodshed fail to deliver true peace or resolution, leading to a complex reflection on the nature of masculinity and the consequences of one's actions.
In a world where blood doesn't grant him peace, Kratos' journey highlights the futility of violence as a path to resolution, revealing a deeper narrative of struggle.
The gods' forgiveness doesn't alleviate Kratos' nightmares, emphasizing that external power can often fail to address profound internal conflicts.
