Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Zhang Yi is not the only one who feels this way, many players who have experienced the previous God of War have this feeling.

That's because I'm afraid that I'm not playing the role of a fake god of war, and the real one is my son who has no health bar.

Especially as Atreus's skills become stronger and stronger, and after learning more skills, he feels that his role is much greater than that of Kratos.

Of course, this is mainly because the skills of most players have not actually grown to the level where they can tyrannize monsters.

In addition, the most critical point is that the game experience of the new God of War is very consistent with the previous trilogy.

Even most players are not mentally prepared.

Taking God of War with a Greek background as an example, after killing the Hydra, the player soon comes into contact with Athena and determines the main plot.

Defeat Ares, the god of war, and kill gods among mortals!

Then the ending of the first chapter made the players look forward to it even more, because defeating Ares was just the beginning, and in the end they were going to defeat Zeus.

In the next two chapters, Kui Ye fights from hell to Olympus and finally destroys Greek mythology. He is simply extremely domineering.

What happened to Northern Europe?

Not to mention that Mr. Kui is old and has a baby, not to mention that the Blade of Chaos turned into an ax for chopping wood.

After all, it’s really fun to play with an ax equipped with a GPS automatic navigation system.

But the main plot involves taking the children up a mountain to collect their ashes, which was a bit unacceptable to the players at first, and the psychological gap was too great.

Coupled with the addition of RPG elements, Kui Ye's health bar is very embarrassing even in normal difficulty, not to mention that in God of War difficulty, the minions can tyrannize Kui Ye.

This left many players completely dumbfounded and felt that it was even more difficult than playing a soul-based game.

However, after being a little confused in the early stage, as the game experience content progressed, the players quickly became involved in the game.

On the one hand, the game itself is good enough, and on the other hand, this time God of War is more inclined to tell a good story.

This is where the new God of War is completely different from the previous trilogy.

There is also a plot in the trilogy.

But instead of understanding Kui Ye's past and experience, most players are more focused on what methods Kui Ye should use to tyrannize the Greek gods.

Therefore, it can be seen that Kui Ye in Greek mythology can be said to be extremely irritable.

But when Kui Ye came to Northern Europe, the style of the entire game was completely different.

Of course, deep down, the God of War is still the God of War.

After getting through the dull early stage, the game story began to become compact after Kratos embarked on a journey to the nine realms.

All kinds of big scenes are also on stage, allowing players to still experience extremely impactful battle scenes and extremely violent fights.

But when facing the enemy, Kui Ye can still feel the violence that penetrated Greek mythology.

Especially when Atreus was in danger, Kui Ye who activated the Wrath of Sparta was even more terrifying.

But because of the changes in the narrative structure, players are not only focused on these big scenes.

The interaction between Kui Ye and Atreus, as well as their journey experiences, have also become the focus of players' attention.

Today, Mr. Kui is old and has a baby. He will no longer play QTE games with beautiful women.

In addition, this game has brought players' feelings for Kui Ye to a new level.

In line with the final chapter of the trilogy, where Kui Ye commits suicide to release the power of hope, Kui Ye becomes more like a person after coming to Northern Europe.

The previous Kratos could be a god or a monster, but he was not a human being.

He will watch the flood flood the world for revenge and ignore the consequences of killing Poseidon and other gods, but he can also give fate to mankind in the end.

Kui Ye, who arrived in Northern Europe, had a different identity, that is, as a father.

This change makes the character of Kratos richer and makes his personality more outstanding.

Just like Ezio in "Assassin's Creed" and Arthur Morgan in "Red Dead Redemption".

The reason why countless players like them is because they give players a complete feeling.

Arthur began his journey of redemption when he finally fell ill as an outlaw. On the one hand, he was still extremely loyal to Dutch and to the gang. Even if he had countless opportunities to escape, he did not leave but hoped to be able to escape. Rescue the gang that has fallen into the quagmire.

Ezio was blinded by hatred after a huge change in his family. Under the guidance of Uncle Mario, he gradually understood the true meaning of assassins, established a brotherhood, and finally became a master assassin. He died suddenly.

Similarly, Kuiye changed from a Spartan warrior to the Soul of Sparta and then to the God of War. He penetrated Olympus and destroyed Greek mythology. After coming to Northern Europe, he became a father.

Just like the previous phoenix pattern, it symbolizes that the 'monster' Kui Ye in the past has died, and Kui Ye who came to Northern Europe has started a new life. This kind of contrast also makes Kratos more plump.

Especially when we came to the cellar of the Northern Shipyard in the game, Kratos was attacked by Odin's son Modi.

In desperation, Atreus attacked Modi in order to rescue his father, but unexpectedly collapsed and fell to the ground unconscious due to his own power, which triggered a plot that made all players extremely excited.

As Atreus' power collapsed and he fell into a coma, Kratos, who was restrained by Modi's magic, was completely angry. He activated the Wrath of Sparta and forcefully broke the magic restraint, scaring Modi and running away. .

But when faced with the escaping Modi, Kratos did not pursue him. He has more important things now.

It makes all players who have played God of War excited.

Under the guidance of the talkative Mimir he carries with him, Kratos learns that the only person who knows how to save Atreus is Freya, the former forest witch.

Through Mimir's previous notification, Zhang Yi already knew the true identity of the forest witch, which was Odin's wife Freya, the princess of the Warner Protoss.

But Kratos's life experiences were all caused by God, so naturally Kratos completely distrusts God, not to mention Freya is Odin's wife, even though she is equivalent to being imprisoned here by Odin.

But now that Atreus is ill, Kratos decides to go to Freya for help.

When he brought Atreus to Freya's home, the other party did not have any other emotions because of Kratos' relationship. Instead, he cared about Atreus very much.

From Freya's mouth, Kratos also learned the real reason why Atreus had been frail and sick since childhood.

That is, if a god firmly believes that he is a mortal, the cognitive disorder of unconsciously suppressing his own divine power will cause abnormalities in his body.

Atreus's symptoms are now very serious, and the only way to cure him is with the heart of the Guardian of the Cursed Bridge.

The Bridge of the Damned is located in Helheim, the kingdom of death in the Nine Realms.

But Helheim is an extremely cold place, and any ice attribute attack poses no threat to the creatures there. Kratos' ice attribute battle ax has no effect there.

So if he wants to go to Helheim, the country of death, then Kratos will have to find another weapon.

A weapon with fire attributes.

Zhang Yi's whole body got goosebumps when he saw this.

Because he thought of something in his mind!

And what Kratos said next also confirmed this.

After getting information about Helheim, the Kingdom of Death, from Freya.

Kratos was silent for a while, gently stroking the bandage wrapped around his arm.

'Then I have to go home...'

'Dug up a past I swore I would bury forever. ’

Freya, who was taking care of the unconscious Atreus, shook her head when she heard this: ‘It doesn’t matter what you were like before. ’

‘This child is not your past, he is your son, and he needs a father. ’

Glancing at the unconscious Atreus, Kratos's eyes gradually became firm.

Taking a deep breath, Kratos turned and left Freya's home.
