God of War: Ragnarok

God of War Ragnarök is a third-person action/adventure game in which players will play as both Kratos and Atreus. Players will encounter the death of a pet nearly immediately. Players will also regularly encounter, fight, and kill birds, canines, and other fictional and real animals - in addition to humans and other humanoid beings - throughout the game. Multiple non-player characters die during gameplay, resulting in grief & loss. Narrative themes include death, preventing prognosticated death, free will versus predetermination, and philoshopy.
