"In fact, when you walk into, I think it's Aphrodite's chamber, this was designed-again, including a group of women-to look like a labia. Like, it's literally designed to be evocative of a vagina. And the women were the ones who did that. When you look at it, it makes sense, but I feel like a lot of people didn't notice that."
"Pearce says that the God of War sex mini-games should be included in the remakes, adding that while the scenes are a little silly, they still belong in the games. She also doesn't find them disrespectful to women and instead feels that they tell you a lot about who Kratos is as a character and a person at that point in the franchise."
Kotaku's Morning Checkpoint covers multiple gaming stories including commentary from God of War Ragnarök writer Alanah Pearce defending the franchise's controversial sex mini-games. Pearce notes these scenes were largely created by women developers who took pride in their work, including detailed design choices like Aphrodite's chamber resembling female anatomy. She argues the mini-games belong in upcoming remakes, characterizing them as silly but not disrespectful and important for understanding Kratos's character development. Additional news includes a leaked PlayStation-themed Lego set collaboration and criticism of AI-generated gaming guides. The roundup also features humorous commentary about a disturbing image of a furless Donkey Kong.
