Ironwood section lasting kind of long lol. Beautiful scenery and nice use of colors after the more muted colors in earlier realms.

I see a lot of people talking about
The ending feeling incomplete in that we didn't get any follow up between Atreus and Sindri. Them repairing the relationship between the two would defeat the entire purpose of the lesson that Kratos was telling Atreus all game long in that war has consequences and it just so happened that the people who suffered the most from it, were the people who actually cared about him like that. Atreus didn't learn that lesson until he saw Skjoldr and the other Midgard citizens being forced into battle.
Him taking the L and learning from it would foster more character growth long term than them repairing the relationship even when you could argue Sindri deserves just as much blame for what happened to Brok as Atreus.

nah that part was good. It’s Aiken to what happened with the mama bear in the beginning.

kind of what I mean when it comes to game audiences and their expectations for storytelling. Same with The Last of Us. A lot of people want games stories to be all settled and wrapped up in a bow. They think every narrative dilemma should be solved by the end of a game, when the dilemma itself is part of the story they are trying to tell.
You can’t make good stories if nothing bad ever happens in them, or everything is fixed in the end, thats just not an interesting story for this type of game. If anything they go way too easy on the characters, the entire game they were trying to avoid ragnarok, kratos knows war and knows its gonna come with casualties and Atreus being naive didn’t understand that until the end. It wouldn’t make sense to reverse all that, it’s part of his character growth

Exactly what Kratos said
Intent does not matter only consequences

yeah, Atreus was solely focused on being a hero and “helping” people, completely disregarding what going to Asgard would mean

cause the game designers didn’t want his big ol’ carcass on the ground for the Odin battle 
They are inconsistent when it comes to what disappears and what gets to stay in corporeal form

how dope would it have been if Odin summoned his 4 legged horse for the final battle
Would have been more similar to how he’s depicted in final fantasy

I honestly think it was intentional. Because while you say they have been inconsistent. I'm pretty none of the other Gods had that happen. They explained in the last game when Modi died that it was weird he didn't disappear. Odin pointed out in this game that all the lesser beings go to Valhala or Hell when they die, so that explains why all the monsters and humans you fight disappear. But he wanted to know what happens to Gods after death, and up to that point none of them disappeared.

His soul went into one of those marbles. That makes sense actually. Could mean Loki could bring him back one day too
