3. God of War (2018) & God of War Ragnarök
The modern God of War saga, starting with the 2018 reboot and continuing with Ragnarök, delivers an unparalleled sense of power and consequence.

Kratos's raw strength and the sheer impact of his Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos are a joy to behold. The narrative depth and character development are also exceptional.
