In 2005, Playstation released the first of the God of War games which would become a mainstay on their platform for years ahead. You play this action-adventure in the role of Kratos, a Spartan warrior who has been used and manipulated by the Greek gods, and quite frankly, is pretty mad about it!
In the other games, he slaughters many of the gods and obtains items along the way. Kratos is usually portrayed as a very angry man, who is shouting and brutally murdering his enemies. Classic Greek stuff. There have been a few games released since then, mostly on the PlayStation 2 or 3.
I was not interested in playing any of the games until a friend really sold me on God of War (2018); how interesting the characters are, as well as the world discovery that you get to do. This God of War game is that Kratos is seeking some redemption, and has a son that has an important role in the game. This smooths out the character I find and makes him more interesting rather than a single-minded, brutal character with no other facets. Anyway, the gameplay, graphics, dive into Norse mythology and the ending make it a really amazing game. Even the flavour dialogue between Atreus and Kratos gives you a deeper look into their characters.
This 2 Pack of figures is an example of when NECA does it all so right. The proportions, sculpt and paint are AMAZING. Seriously I doubt you can do much better even on a bigger scale. The accessories are plentiful and reflect nearly every part of the combat gameplay. The joints are a bit stuff and you have to be careful, especially with Atreus who has some of the smallest double joints I've seen since the Damien and Superboy 2 pack. I'll review these two as one, as they have nearly identical qualities in many respects, minus a point of These are top 10 figures for sure!
