Watch GamingBolt Video: GamingBolt - God of War Ragnarok vs. Norse Mythology - How It's Similar, How It's Different.
Since 2005, when God of War first made its debut on the PS2, right up till now, with God of War Ragnarok on the PS5 and PS4, the series has had a knack for interpreting its mythological inspirations in very interesting ways. This was, of course, true for the Greek era games as well, but God of War (2018) in particular was widely lauded for the ingenious spin it often put on so many of the Norse myths it interpreted, from the death of Baldur being caused by mistletoe to the fact that Atreus is actually Loki.
Unsurprisingly, God of War Ragnarok does plenty of that as well. At the same time, just like its predecessors, it doesn't feel bound to the material that has inspired it by any means, which means "mythological accuracy", if such a thing even exists, is far from a priority, and if and where the game feels the need to completely go in a different direction, it does that without hesitation. Here, we're going to take a look at a few key examples of both, moments where it interprets Norse myths with its own unique spin on them, and moments where it decides to go completely off-script and do its own thing.
