If he ever needs to escape his troubles, past or present, video games are always an option and as a god himself, he would have no problem acquiring a much sought-after PlayStation 5. In terms of the specific games he would play, some would be similar to God of War where he could show off his skills. In others, he would seek an entirely different experience.

10 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

When it comes to mortals, the key demographic for video game consumption, they often want to experience what it is like to have superpowers. But since Kratos himself is already a god, perhaps role-playing as a human could pose a worthy adventure. Set in his new home of the Norse world, as well as the sought-after fertile lands of the British Isles, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla would be a perfect introduction to the world of video games.

With a vast open world, raging conflict, and an incredible cast of characters, the quality of this game could make Kratos fall in love with gaming. And if at the end of the day Kratos grew tired of the limitations of humanity, there are still abilities with magical elements available in the game.

9 A Total War Saga: TROY

Platforms: PC, Mac

As a former Spartan general, if Kratos ever fancied a bit of nostalgia or wished to refine his old skills, then A Total War Saga: TROY would offer him all he needed. As one of the installments of the Total War series with fantasy elements, Kratos would be able to sink his teeth into the lore of the Trojan war and reminisce about the gods he brought down.

The ability to control armies and send men into battle without any real-life consequences could be just what the God of War needs, specifically as a substitute to make sure he doesn’t fall back into his old ways.

8 SMITE

Platform: PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch

If there is one thing Kratos is good at, it’s killing fellow gods. As a multiplayer online battle arena where enemies keep respawning until the game is over, SMITE would offer Kratos the opportunity to endlessly prove the weight behind his title, God of War.

Furthermore, with SMITE featuring an ever-growing roster of over 120 gods taken from mythologies all over the world, Kratos would experience deities outside his Norse and Greek comfort zone. The only problem might be having to work with four other teammates.

7 LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

Platforms: PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, Mobile

LEGO games are some of the best co-op games to play with a partner, friend, or even a parent. If Kratos ever decides that there are better ways to bond with his son Atreus than hunting, then LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga is always there for them.

Seeing as this is a collection of two games based on the first six Star Wars films, there is enough content to last them an eternal Norwegian winter. If any game can help a father and son avoid the fate of Luke and Anakin, it’s a LEGO game.

6 DOOM Eternal

Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch

Kratos has a dark past that includes brutal slaughter instigated by none other than himself. Having moved on from his bloodthirsty days, if he ever felt the need to take his anger out, then first-person shooter DOOM Eternal could offer him a safe place to let loose.

In the latest installment of a series known for non-stop shooting, Kratos could just keep going and going until the anger has passed. The high-paced action and once again incredible soundtrack will have any player’s blood pumping, regardless of divine nature.

5 theHunter: Call Of The Wild

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

If Kratos was looking for a realistic hunting simulator, he’d be hard-pressed to find a better game than theHunter: Call of the Wild. With animals being scared away by just the crunch of a leaf, Kratos would certainly have to refrain from shouting “Boy!” all the time.

As the game is set in the modern world, Kratos would be able to make use of the latest hunting technology, from scoped rifles perfectly selected for each type of prey, to AMVs allowing for quick travel across stunning nature reserves.

4 It Takes Two

Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch

As a Game of the Year winner, it is no surprise that It Takes Two would appeal to Kratos — who, after all, comes as a package deal with his son Atreus. In a game designed for two people, the divine duo would have their teamwork put to the test once more.

With a plethora of puzzles, challenges, and bosses to beat in creative ways, the endless fun could be precisely what they need after all they have been through. The quirky and abstract setting would also come as a welcome break from the dark undertones they are all too familiar with.

3 Ghost of Tsushima

Platforms: PS4, PS5

For a man known as the Ghost of Sparta, the action-adventure game Ghost of Tsushima would certainly pique Kratos’ curiosity. With the chance to explore an entirely new culture and beautiful backdrop, Kratos could throw himself into the shoes of Jin Sakai as he tries to repel the Mongols from Tsushima Island.

With access to an entirely new approach to combat, Kratos could learn the ways of stealth with The Ghost. On top of this, thanks to an Easter egg, there is even an obtainable outfit based on God of War.

2 Valheim

Platforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

After leaving the world of the Olympians behind for the realm of Midgard, Kratos seems better suited to the Norse world. For a peaceful and relaxing experience of his new home, there is no better game than Valheim.

Although this survival game is full of things to do, its greatest appeal to Kratos would be the lack of people. Other than the merchant and Hugin the raven, there just aren’t any other characters — not even a talking head. Kratos could hunt, build, farm, and slay bosses all day without any dreaded social interaction.

1 Euro Truck Simulator 2

Platforms: PC, Mac

For a man looking for peace and quiet, Euro Truck Simulator 2 might be so well suited to Kratos, that he’d end up applying to be a real truck driver. Other than already looking the part, a retired God of War would be able to concentrate on deliveries and managing fuel expenditure, all without having to listen to any annoying dwarven blacksmiths.

Thanks to the maturity Kratos has developed since his days in Ancient Greece, he would even be able to keep road rage in check on particularly difficult journeys. Although this simulator game might not be the most popular, for those who fall under its target audience like Kratos, it is incredibly well-rated.
