GOD OF WAR FRIENDLY SNAKES | GOD OF WAR

God of War (also referred to as God of War 4 and God of War PS4) is a third-person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio It was released for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console. It is the eighth installment in the God of War series, the eighth chronologically, and the sequel to 2010's God of War III. The story is a new direction for the series, as it is loosely based on Norse mythology—all previous games were based on Greek mythology. Series protagonist Kratos returns as the main character, and he now has a son named Atreus. Kratos acts as a mentor and protector to his son, and has to master the rage that has driven him for many years.

Described as a "reimagining" for the franchise, the gameplay has been rebuilt, with one major change being that Kratos no longer uses his signature double-chained blades. He instead uses a magical battle axe called the Leviathan Axe. Another notable change is the camera; the game uses an over-the-shoulder free camera as opposed to the fixed cinematic camera seen in the previous entries. There are also elements similar to role-playing video games and Kratos' son Atreus can provide assistance during gameplay.
