Having not played the franchise at all prior, God of War (2018) was one of the most engrossing, emotional, and enjoyable video game stories I have experienced probably ever. One of the best parts of the game was the magnificent, meticulous, and ethnically rich score Bear McCreary crafted that remains one of the best video game scores I've ever heard.
One of gaming's most iconic characters, Kratos was an engaging, likable, tragic character who was just as fun to play and fight as, as much as he was emotionally impacted and deeply empathetic. McCreary created an iconic, powerful, dominating theme for him using the Icelandic choir to their fullest potential, conveying power, dominance, and also being representative of the emotional core and weight the story itself holds.
