God of War has been one of Sony's biggest video game franchises ever since the first outing debuted on PlayStation 2 way back in 2005. Kratos has gone on to behead, disembowel and dismember all manner of mythological beasties over seven adventures, culminating in 2018's incredible God of War. This was a soft reboot that shifted focus from Greek to Norse mythology, introduced more mature themes and added a lot of depth to Kratos' character. It's considered one of the finest efforts of the generation and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the sequel due for release late next year.
