We are less than a month away from the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, the sequel to one of the most popular games of the PS3/Xbox era. Red Dead Redemption launched in 2010, meaning that fans of the franchise have waited for almost a decade to continue their adventure through the early American frontier. […]

Even Conan O’Brien’s playing God of War.
For his latest “Clueless Gamer” segment, the Late Night host wielded a Leviathan axe to play the wildly popular game with “the ultimate He-Man,” actor and comedian Bill Hader.
The pair gave their most brutal, unimpressed commentary to PlayStation’s record-breaking smash hit — the game sold 3.1 million copies in its first three days, making it the fastest-selling PS4-exclusive ever.
Fair warning, God of War megafans, they’re not exactly kind to the game. “This is recreating the awkward silences I’ve had with my father,” says O’Brien of the relationship between protagonist Kratos and his son Atreus. Too close to home, eh? Read more…

This first half of this post contains no spoilers for God of War, the second half does and is marked by another spoiler warning.
I jokingly refer to the new God of War as an Angry Dad simulator, or rather for too many of us, more like My Own Personal Broken Childhood simulator.
That’s because joking is easier than admitting how close to home it all feels, watching a child be relentlessly belittled and ridiculed by his father for the crime of being human. We might giggle at Kratos’ inability to even reach out a hand to comfort his grieving son after the death of his mother — but I have seen exactly that happen with my own eyes, in real life.

In the years after its release in the mid 2000s, the original God of War trilogy became a symbol for everything wrong with video games: gruesome violence, nonsensical and overwrought storytelling, angry hypermasculinity, nauseating male power fantasies, the exploitation of women, or even the dreaded quick-time event.
But if the demo with the first couple hours of the new, reimagined Nordic-themed God of War is any indication, you must leave those assumptions behind. Because like Kratos, you are a stranger in a strange land.
And everything has changed.
The most striking transformation in the new God of War — which comes through in everything from story to combat — is its decidedly human scale. Read more…
