[Thoughts] Could We See DLC Or A Companion Game For God Of War: Ragnarök?


Let's think about what could come next from the God Of War team

source: manualdosgames.com

It has been quite frequently mentioned on X recently that Santa Monica are currently developing something tied to God Of War. There has also been very strong leads such as Santa Monica hiring combat designers specially with knowledge of the recent God Of War games. God Of War: Ragnarök came out last November, so maybe a year later (this November) could be when we see what the developers have been cooking up. I am personally not 100% sold, but have some ideas were it could go if true, I will go into these below. 

~ Standard Expansion DLC ~

This would be similar to Horizon forbidden west. Like Horizon Forbidden West, the dlc would add directly to the God of War: Ragnarök game. We could see the addition of a new area to the game and an accompanying story. This new area could be something to do with were Atreus goes at the end of the game. This would probably offer around 5-10 hours of gameplay and be around the same price as the Horizon Forbidden west dlc (£16).

~ Companion Game ~

This way would be similar to Spider Man Miles Morales. Miles Morales added to the narrative of Spider Man but was also it's own game. Spider Man Miles Morales was around half the length of Spider man. This means that if they were to go this route we could see a 10-15 hour adventure. I again think it would cover Atreus and were he goes at the end of the game. The price for this would probably be the same as what Miles Morales was at around £40-50. 

~ Conclusion ~

Not matter which way they go for, I really think it will be focused around Atreus and possibly answer some final questions players have with the narrative. Having Atreus be the sole star of the dlc or a separate brother game will perfectly set him up to be the star of his own full length game. I really hope these rumours are true because I would absolutely love more content with these characters and world. 

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[Review] God of War (2018)

A near godly experience made slightly mortal by one glaring issue source:  www.playstation.com ~ Intro ~ God of War (2018) is a 3rd person action game made by Santa Monica Studio. The game is currently available on both PS4 and PC. This title is sort of a reboot of the series with it taking a different direction from the traditional hack and slash formula of the original God of War games. I haven't played any of the other God of War games so this has been my introduction into the series. I have wanted try this series for a while, as I have seen good things about it. So, starting with this reboot felt like a great entry point. With that said though, let's get into my thoughts. ~ Positives ~ let's go over the positives first. To start with, the story of the game is good. This game's story is all about fulfilling a last wish, though there are many road blocks the main characters must face along the way. As I was playing I found myself intrigued to find out what would happe

[News] Mario Party 3 Is Coming To Switch Online!

  Another game for switch online is coming soon  source:  twitter.com/NintendoUK Over on Twitter, Nintendo have just announced that  Mario Party 3 is coming to switch online. This game is a N64 game so it will be available on the N64 app. This does mean you will need the Switch Online Expansion Pack to play it. The update with this game will drop on the 27th of October.  Mario Party 3 is a great addition to the line up. The fact that it will have online co-op is a big change. Essentially though, Mario Party is about moving your character around a board with dice rolls, with the aim of collecting Stars. The player with the most stars at the end wins, it really is that simple. The most fun aspects to Mario Party games though are the mini games. Mario Party 3 offers a total of 71 mini games for players to enjoy. Something to note about this game as well, is that, it was the first Mario Party game to feature a story mode. Make sure you give this a try too it's a good way to practice th

[News] Ys X: Nordics Coming Overseas This Year!

This is very exciting news for Ys fans source: twitter.com/NISAinEurope Over on Twitter, NISA Europe have just announced that Ys X will be coming West this year . Specifically, they have stated that we can expect to be playing this new instalment of the Ys series in Autumn . The exact release date though is unknown. A limited Edition will also be available, though the details of this are also  unknown. Pre-orders are not up yet and there is no word on when they will go up yet, but we can expect it sometime soon. A small announcement trailer has also launched on Youtube with some clips of the game. You can view that here . When I first saw this tweet I had to triple check I was reading the date right. The previous Ys game took 2 years for it to come west. This is more inline with Ys 8. I am personally so excited for this, 2024 didn't have too many games for me but this is a huge one for me and I am very grateful. The game looks absolutely amazing and I am sure it will live up to my
