This is one of the best parts of the game, it really makes you sympathise with the characters that are supposed to be your antagonists. But you also don't spend too long with them. This is something TLOU 2 tried and struggled. I think TLOU 2 almost pulled it off, because you kinda sympathise with the members of Abby's group as you walk around their camp, greet their dogs and stuff, and the kids you rescue from the cult are also nice. But at the same time the player has just gone on this massive quest to kill all of Abby's friends as Ellie and then is immediately thrown in to the other side's perspective, it's kinda jarring. You're also still recoiling from Joel's death, and the whole message of ending the cycle of violence and revenge is undermined by the fact that Abby and Ellie have both been doing the exact same thing the entire game up until the very last moments, whereas Kratos has been conveying this message throughout the entire game, and only when Brok is killed does he turn back to war. Imagine if Kratos dies at the beginning of GoW ragnarok, you're not going to want to see Odin's perspective and the player themselves are going to want to get revenge no matter what so the message of "ending the cycle" won't sit well with people, which is exactly what happened in TLOU 2.

I haven't played game or watched full gameplay, but this scene is interesting. This is actually very accurate to the lore. In the lore, Loki appeared to Asgard out of no where, no one knew who he was or where he was from. Every god in Asgard hated him so much, but somehow Odin, the All-Father, was fond of him and gave him respects. Odin was the reason Loki was never kicked out of Asgard despite all his mischief, and Odin always paid very deep attention to his words, always had Loki sit next to him and listened to him. Some versions say Odin actually considered Loki to be his brother. While Thor also was never fond of Loki, he saw his usage. Of course, of all the god in Asgard, the one who hated Loki most was Heimdall. He could foresee Loki's foul treachery even before the Ragnarok. And when Ragnarok befell to the world, it was Heimdall who battled Loki at the last moment, even when all the gods were already dead, and Heimdall killed Loki with the cost of his life. So this scene is really interesting. Even though Loki in God of War is different character, the depiction here is very accurate to the lore.

its crazy how amazing odin was in this game, he acts like a feeble old and somewhat kind grandpa that is simply trying to fix issues and find truth, but he is the most dangerous person in all the realms other than kratos, we forget that he was so strong in his youth that he killed ymir, and even in his old age he’s still clearly insanely strong with how he threw mjolnir at thrud so easily, it’s just clear he prefers magic in his fight with kratos

I really love Odin's character. He's like some guy in a sitcom that has natural sarcasm and wittiness. I love it

I have not seen the full story yet, but from what I can tell right now Odin is basically suffering from the same problem the Greek pantheon did. Obsession over prophecies that they will then enact themselves when trying to prevent them. Wonder if Odin in this story could have been a genuine ally and friend of Kratos had he not been so obsessed with prophecy and knowledge.

True that imagine the powerful alliance they could have had if Kratos just shook and had a drink on it instead of saying "no" to Odin's offer would have made things alot easier lol can't blame him though Kratos didnt have alot of reason to trust anyone at that particular time

And just like Odin tries to manipulate Atreus by preying on his desire for answers and parental recognition, Palpatine did so with Anakin by preying not only on his desire to save Padme, but also on his desire for recognition.

It's impressive how the game presents Heimdall like a highschool bully and a nasty piece of work, yet somehow he manages to retain some charm. Besides, he is not entirely wrong about his assessment of Loki.

Mythology aside, the acting and the ways each individual behaves and how they interact on a human level, is more believable than 99% of video games. Just epic.

I really love how they portrayed Odin in the game. Usually Odin is that muscle pig old man with in a golden palace, when in the mythologic he's that smartass trickster obsessed with knowledge, even mutilating himself to obtain it. Charming and powerful, a true god of widsom. Yes they adapted so he can become a full fledged villain, but anyway in general I'm happy with what they did. A skinny wizard old man, that's exactly how Odin would be if he was real.

For all we know the whole intro of Atreus arriving to Asgard was planned by odin, including him walking around doing his daily duties, an effortless show

Pretty amazing how the game can take you to different places all so seamlessly. No loadings screens or anything.

Am I the only one that thinks Odin gives off 'Timeshare salesman' energy?

You know, come to think of it. Atreus probably survives the fall if heimdall was to drop him. I mean the boy literally jumped off that reanimated giant to shoot arrows at baldur when he was younger.

For all his manipulations, I like to think that Odin was genuinely confused for a second here 10:45. "Wait where did he...? Other side, maybe? Ah, there he is."

Odin here acting like a functional manager, showing a new hire his office and daily activities.

Atreus: *You have awesome hair!* Heimdall: _HAIR?!_ These are the divine strands that hold the wisdom of our forefathers…

Thor and Thrud are by far my fav characters so far Besides kratos, atreaus, and freya of course

I haven't played Ragnarok yet but this definitely beats the first impression I have of Odin. Now I found this version quite interesting and convincing.

I remember watching a review on assassins creed valhalla and they kinda brought this up whenever asgard was shown, apparently is cuz the ppl back then we’re usually just farmers, raiders, and traders etc, they would only be able to envision their imagination close to their reality. So while asgard could’ve said to been this grand place made of gold, it could’ve resembled more to a gold hut, rather then a actual gold giant castle n such.

yes its good they strayed away from the villain in a big castle or big building cliche

For an antagonist, Odin sure seems to be an interesting leader. 🤔 And that Thor has quite the Hound vibes. ^^

I just realized what happened now... when thor told heimdall to "look into his eyes" he told him he is a sick man because he saw what thor was gonna do

Fun little detail that most people miss: Notice when Atreus (Loki) fights Heimdall, his health bar doesn’t appear above like you see in most boss battles. That’s because this is all part of the cutscene story. Very cool!

Why does Odin act like a Brooklyn factory manager of the late 1930s running an assassin/warrior school with a messiah complex? 😂😂😂

This Odin looks like the CEO of a big company

Never played or watched gameplay of God Of War, but this is so well done. The dialogue and graphics are great.

I love it how they make Thor good following sad dog. His face it's like he has ptsd

Baldur: Can't die or even feel pain. Heimdall: can see others thoughts and predict their moves before they make them Thor: ... he's Thor A really brutal trifecta leading Odin's armies. No wonder the Aesir pretty much rule over all the realms.

@@Wholesomewarriortv99 Well, more like a walled off enclosure of various halls in which the gods do their functions, but they also have their houses. At any rate, yeah - lots of gold was used by the Æsir during its construction, which is probably why they made the dwarves a little while after. Though it was large enough to have training fields, and of course bits of the world tree could be seen.

The more I watch this Odin, the more I like him. As Heimdall put it, "Real power does not need to flaunt." Physically, he looks quite unassuming; balding and skinny. The way he talks is amiable and conversationalist (At first I was put off how he spoke like an American mobster. I expected him to speak like a king. Grand and with hidden meanings). Of course, all of this is through the eyes of his adversaries. People who he needs to convince (Atreus) and people who stand in his way (Kratos). The way he speaks to his underlings-Thor, Heimdall, Sif-is dismissive. He is a true manipulator. There's never a scene where he twirls a handlebar mustache or laughs maniacally. He is always manipulating and always playing the part of the old wise man.

I unironically love Heimdall. The SECOND he showed up eating an APPLE (universal pretentious asshole fruit), I knew he was gonna be entertaining. He's exactly the type of sniviling, POS you love to watch get fucking decked. (Plus his VA absolutely killed it. He nailed every line. One of my favorite performances in the whole game.)

This game was so good, it didn't disappoint at all. It was super fun too.

This game is a masterpiece the only thing I didn’t like was we couldn’t really do much in Asgard, and as a thought imagine if we side quests, and a few of said missions involved helping the sons of Ivaldi and as a reward for helping them, Atraus gets their skills and when they see his bow and ask if brook and sindri enhanced his bow, idk but the things they would say and the things brook and sindri would say would just be GOLD.

_"Now listen up ! It's me, _*_your entire economy_*_ speaking."_ 16:52 This line is so underrated - it perfectly encapsulates Odin's depicturation by Santa Monica Studios to be somewhat like a modern CEO of a big company. And, holy shit, did they succeed. Loved every second of it.
