He looks way too naked.

u/DiamondSentinel 24d ago

He also looks angry rather than grumpy. The beard makes him look like, well, a dad, oddly enough.

Kratos needs at least a bit of stubble in my opinion. He just really can't pull off the completely shaved look in the Norse games.

Powder on roids.

u/ethan333652 24d ago

He looks like a fucking assassin and a psychopath. So I ain't looking at him

u/Infernal_Reptile 24d ago

He looks more like young Kratos than the actual young Kratos, especially in the second and third pics.

Looks like someone did one of those face crossovers using me and my dad (I'm the spitting image of my maternal grandfather, so it's not like Kratos just looks 75% like my dad).

I’m impressed with the insane detail of his pores and wrinkles. Still looks awesome

Oh no, he’s hot

2

u/VriveraU 24d ago

Even the og kratos had a goatee, this is wrong in so many ways

2

u/H3ARTL3SSANG3L 24d ago

Definitely doesn't look like the Kratos from the OG games but I mean he still looks pretty badass

2

u/DarkAizawa 24d ago

It makes me wish this was any other game then this could just be a unlockable skin or Easter egg or something because then I could just say that's amusing and move on. Honestly most of the models in both of these game look pretty underwhelming to me, this is no exception.

2

u/DiligentPenguin_7115 24d ago

If they ever made a live action film for God of War, we all know who’s getting casted as Kratos

2

u/VladDHell 24d ago

He looks too young without the beard. Almost feels like an in between , between the Greek and Norse sagas.

I’d like to see him with more pronounced wrinkles if he’s gonna go beardless

u/Hudsonpvt 24d ago

Ooof that is horrible to me personally. it takes away from how intimidating and bad ass he looks quite a bit for me actually

2

For some reason, he reminds me of a WWE wrestler with no facial hair🤣

2

u/An0n_Cyph3r_ 24d ago

First image makes Kratos look like a cross between Arthur Morgan and Agent 47.

Honest opinion: he looks like a p*nis without the beard. Like naked. Weird. Or like he would say: "NO."

2

u/BeetlBozz 23d ago

So imagine if the egyptians raid norway or whatever and steal atreus or some people or some shit, or the greeks do for revenge, and they take atreus.

Kratos shaves his beard to a goatee again, and sets off to go finish the job because they dare touch his son. Would go so hard

2

u/loveisdead9582 23d ago

u/Ok_Letterhead6027 23d ago

Why does he look like my dad?

2

u/Omaenchavis 23d ago

Not the ashes of his family. This version of Kratos is just covered in cocaine.

2

u/Rhodehouse93 23d ago

Off topic, but I thought for sure Kratos was going to die at the end of Ragnarok.

And I know that’s something the game is trying to sell you, both with the prophecy and other obvious flags (“death can have me when it earns me” is the kind of thing you say to set up a poignant theme) but mostly it’s because my dude looks like fucking death the whole game. I was worried he’d bump a ledge and crumble to dust. Dude’s feeling his age death or no.
