Scrapping One Big God of War Ragnarok Feature Could Actually Benefit The Sequel

God of War Ragnarok expanded on the expectations laid out by its 2018 predecessor in a number of ways. It repeated the same tone, gameplay fundamentals, and setting, but it also added new combat mechanics, massive open areas, and several new characters who will hopefully get more time to shine in future God of War entries. One of the most significant new features, however, was the collection of missions where the player took control of Atreus. Letting players alternate between Kratos and Atreus throughout the game was a great decision, but one that shouldn’t be repeated in its successor.
