God of War: Lore and Legends: Lore & Legends

Product Information

This volume chronicles Atreus and Kratos’ journey through the fabled Nine Realms, from the Wildwoods of Midgard to the mountains of Jötunheim and beyond. But to Atreus, everything with his mother was an adventure, whether it be picking herbs in the woods or her stories when he was sick with fever. His mother was so powerful that she was able to see the whole journey ahead, and he knew her power of prophecy was special. Delving into the more obscure didn't really interest me, and I also never got a good feel of which parts are actual Norse mythology and which parts are made for this game.

I now believe this item is out of print and may not be reprinted, so its unlikely this seller has any of tese books to sell, even though it is still listed as being available. I would have preferred covering more of the side missions, seeing more of the treasure maps and other items collected and less "throw your axe at this monster", but overall it's a nice companion to "The Art of God of War". It's really interesting reading his comments on the journey in hindsight while also reading on expanded lore. The hit game is brought to life in a tangible and exciting new way as readers are invited to plumb the lore of God of War through the eyes of Kratos' son, Atreus. But then his father told him that they could be the gods they chose to be, and that they didn't have to be the same as the gods who came before them.NOTE: other restrictions can be a result of our security platform detecting potential malicious activity. In addition to the record of their mythic journey, this wonderous collection also includes a bestiary that was assembled during those travels, intimate dossiers of the characters that inhabit the masterfully crafted universe, and much more! Perhaps if the rumored sequel surfaces at some point this would make a nice reference and summary of what happened in the first game.

In the game "God of War", Atreus, the son of the player character keeps a journal of their adventures, catalogues their encounters, ranking the monsters and gives a general commentary that allows the player to easily keep track of what they're doing in the game. They had to camp out in a hall for six days, and when they came out, everything was frozen and covered in snow. It's cool seeing it written from Atreus's point of view but unless I've got the book open while playing the game, it was pretty dry. It is a recount of his mother's lessons, the journey, Fimbulwinter, Norse lore (well, God of War's take), and a catalog of the enemies which can be helpful to anyone playing the game. This lorebook contains storyboards and concept art from the video game, as well as information about the game's development and its characters.As these days there are so many movies, TV series and the like that cover Norse myths, most readers are likely to be familiar with the basics. He wondered if Kratos's lesson about them having "no excuses" to not go where they please, was a good lesson after all. When he went outside with the intent to end the wolves' misery, they surround him in a half-circle and start howling at the sky. I don't think it's concept art of the game, and it's definitely not art directly from the game either so I was left a bit torn.
