God of War (2018 video game)

"We will be the gods we choose to be. Not those who have been. ...We must be better."

The "God of War" franchise has been defined by its lack of humanity; one of the first things Kratos does in the first game is callously kill an innocent in service of a punchline. This "God of War", however, demands you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, clawing your way through wild brawls to get to the next emotional beat with your son (though, crucially, never sacrificing its sense of scale). Point added for the revelations in its endings.
