The things he did in the first six games (two on PS2, two on PSP, and two on PS3) are really fucking evil. In particular, this game makes Kratos worried about Atreus perpetuating the cycle of fratricide, when as a long-time God of War fan I feel like the actual threat is Kratos continuing his unbroken streak of familicide. Excluding the Greek pantheon and all the innocents he killed (like the *entire city of Atlantis*), Kratos killed his mother, brother, wife, and daughter. He’s a piece of shit! There’s something that sticks in my craw about the game wanting us to focus exclusively on “Kratos killed his dad” when that’s so far down the list of awful things he did and not terribly relevant to his dynamic with Atreus.
