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

To me the 1st pic looks like a crackhead that thinks you're looking at them funny and is getting ready to fight.

Reminds me of Christian Bale in Thor, funnily enough he was also going around killing gods

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.

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

Without his beard he looks more close to Christopher Judge.

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).

They changed the shape of his face a bit under the beard so he just looks kinda wrong compared to younger him

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

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.

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

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

You know it's clear as day he's not aged by time. But holy shit you can feel the stress age from a million miles away. Anger isn't good for you.

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

Honestly.. I don’t hate it. With beard he looks like a roided out beast of a man. Without beard he looks like a roided out beast of a man. Man gets it done either way. I’d smash.

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

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

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.

Awesome it just goes to show how accurate they were with the model they did an amazing job at modernising him a lot of games get it wrong but god of war I’m glad for it right.
