Like the previous game, there is a ton of extra stuff to do throughout the realms. Killing of Odin's ghost Ravens, solving the Nonir puzzle chests, to all the other extra side missions. These definantly kept me busy throughout my playthrough & was just too much for me to wanna invest in 100%. Fought a good number of the Berserk bosses thay provided immense challenge that really had me honing my combat skills. Completly most if not all the side missions aside from acouple of the ghost requests in Vanaheim. Game as before, rewards you for exploration & presents challenging puzzles that had me hoping over to YT a number of times to get the answers for. Don't have the time nor patience myself for 100%, but there is a satisfying amount of challenge to these with added funny dialogue & lore.

Odin made for a fantastic antagonist. From the first game he's built up to be this big deal, being in control of all the 9 realms & while he may not look as intimidating his cold, calculating, & snarky nature made him chew of the scenery of every scene he was in. Richard Schiff did an incredible job with his performance. Can come off sweet & kind, but other times he can be downright brutal when it comes to his tongue lashings, especially towards his brawn Thor. His attempted manipulation to the protagonists & especially Atreus as he tried to persuade him to join alongside him in his pursuit of infinite knowledge really made you think he might win especially when the game starts with him offering Kratos everything he wants in exhange for not interfering. Amazing villain that was built up to be so vile that you wanna see him meet his end, but you can't help but enjoy for just how charismatic he is.

I REALLY thought we were getting a Spider-Man Mary Jane kinda punishment when it came to Atreus's gameplay....but I REALLY enjoyed it. The game gives him a good variety of bow options to mess with alongside his new ability to transform into a wolf. When Ateus visits with Angrboda & fights her granny, that was the moment I was sold on this Atreus gameplay. Well done by the developers to make compelling enough gameplay alongside the conclusion of his coming of age story.

Thankfully, the game delivers on some amazing boss fights. From the lovable arrogant ass that is Heimdall, the giant mean granny Atreus fights, Thor & the big baddie himself Odin. All incredible fights with great creatures to fight alongside them both on your Path & side bosses. Honestly, it's hard to pick a favorite as there were so many good ones, but probably gotta give it to the final confrontation with Thor.

I feel like I enjoyed the weapon play in this game much more than the first game. There was alot more variety with 3 different weapons to do combat with. Feel like there were alot more options for power attacks & the transition between each weapon was fast & fluid. Feel like I got more of a mastery of the combat than I did in the first game. Love how you get multiple different partners throughout your playthrough with two upgradable teammates in both Atreus & another (not stating to avoid spoilers). Overall a great improvement over the original that already had solid combat to begin with that just brought things up to another level. Favorite weapon out of all of them has to be the spear with the added benefit of attaching multiple spears to an opponent to detonate to deliver massive damage to the attached victim.

The Sopranos Season 2 Not as good as season 1 but great non the less. This season shows us that no one of the main ensemble is safe. When Chris got shot, I was like, "Oh shit!". They really make Chris out to be super relatable & someone you wanna root for despite his flaws. Good atagonist for the season with Richie being a constant thorn in Tony's side trying to get everyone to agree with him that Tony needs to be taken out only for the rug to be pulled from under him due to he himself not commanding the same amount of respect. The additonal conflict with Pussy with him turning against Tony & the gang by being an informant for the feds was also great. Hated what Pussy was doing but appreciated that he didn't wanna collude against Tony & how much it was eating away at him. As always great cinematography especially with the dream sequence in the last episode but some of the speicla effects were defiantly outdated. Great little side stuff with Paulie that always cracked me up, especially the shit with the psychic. Hope he gets more screen time in the next season. He's my overall favorite of the group. Overall fantastic second season & excited to see what happens in season.

What If All Game Series Looked Like Their Original Sprites? By @HarryGoldArtist Randomly got reccomended this & loved the concept. Just a bs retelling of if the original sprite designs from NES games continued into the other games. All the renders are very well made & really recapture the style of each game being depicted. Dig this dudes vibe as well with the old timey black & white British radio host gimmick. Got a kick outta this & dude definanlty deserves more love.

This studio that made soo many games I love is burning.

Ludwig Kaiser vs. Penta My boy Ludwig against the incredible lucahdore Penta...I could ask for very much more. Beautiful death valley driver onto the turn buckle by Kaiser. Love the disrespectful spitting on Penta just showing outright disrespect as he slowly dissected Penta throughout the match only for the Penta to turn things around & hit Kaiser with the Sacrafice & Penta Driver. Awesome match with Pete Dunne coming out to confront Penta only for Kaiser to Pearl Habor him him from behind & lays him out.

The New Day vs. Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee I dont understand Woods & Kingston keeping the New Day name. Appreciate the additoan of a new heel song & ring gear, but I just feel like they should be renaming their team to get away from the New Day name. Enjoying raw show boating & heel antics from Woods, who is really helping to carry this new heel persona for the team. Loved Woods ripping off Dragon Lee's mask & trying to wear it like an earring like The Model with Tatonka's sacred feathers. Was an ok tag match, but most of the focus shifted to Logan Paul bullying Mysterio once he came out who was alo vital in giving the distracted assist to lead Rey into a Trouble in Paradise to lead New Day to the victory.

Seth Rollins Promo Seth Rollins coming out looking like a Cyberpunk Bondage Cowboy. Another annoying promo I couldn't stand to listen too. Talks about him going to the Elimination Chamber Match & asks Sami Zayne to come down to the ring. He hypes him up to beat Punk in his Qualifyer match, so his dream of Main Eventing Mania is dead & buried. Once again could had gone without the needless preamble.

Cm Punk vs. Sami Zayne Qualifying Match for the Elimination Chamber Solid main event match. Nice back & forth between both men, but Punk was able to avoid the Helluva Kikc & hit the G.T.S to punch his ticket to the Elimination Chamber. Then Ownes comes & once again hurts his best friend for what's probably the 6th or 7th time & hits him with the devastating Powerbomb. Great way to end the show & starts an easy build-up for both men to come to blows in their home country of Canada.

Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky in Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match This was a great match between these two. Anytime these two are put in a match against each other, it's always one of Liv's best matches. Given alot of shit to Liv Morgan in the past, but she has really improved since then, so I gotta give props as she is easily the best women's heel in WWE right now. Everything Iyo does is so clean & fluid she really is amazing to watch in the ring. Will admit I'm abit irrational that we don't get to have Iyo Sky in the Elimination Chamber because you know she would have done some crazy shit. Iyo loses due to Rhea smacking Liv in the view of the ref to aquire her spot in the Chamber Match.

Charoltte Flair Promo Little awkward having her just standing in the ring.....doing nothing for a whole commercial break could only imagine how awkward that was in person. She was just barking at the fans to boo her all they want before Rhea came diwn to interrupt her. Charoltte calls Rhea a kid & Rhea begs her to pick her so she can beat respect into her. This was a bad promo.
