God of War Director Shares Heartwarming Video

After many years of toil and facing a change that fans may not identify with, God of War has been released to the world. For those involved with making the game come to life, this is a huge moment filled with emotions. Games, while they are a product meant to be enjoyed as entertainment or as a way to compete with one another, are created by people.

In a moment of laying things bare, Director of God of War Cory Balrog uploaded a video to his YouTube channel of him looking at the game’s score on Metacritic. The result is a man proud of his work, brushing away tears and laughing about being so worked up about arbitrary scores.

Since the reviews were able to go out, people have been praising this release, not only as a good game, but as a story touching on the more human elements of Kratos’ newfound fatherhood. Those playing God of War right now are getting more than usual out of their action game, but apparently according to reviews such as one by Shacknews, most of the elements that made the combat fun still feel familiar to longtime fans.

On the competitive side, we’re still eager to see high level play in the speedrun scene or maybe even players going through the hardest setting without getting hit or something similar. Gamers have a tendency to make up their own challenges, so we’ll see what gets uploaded in the coming weeks.

Either way, this has to be an overwhelming sense of accomplishment for the team at Santa Monica Studio.
