Thanks to GOG, you can now play God of War on your PC without any DRM

God of War, the video game from PlayStation Studios developed by Santa Monica, is now available on PC without any kind of DRM that forces you to be online to play. This is thanks to GOG, which has just released the game on its platform, and it does so in a more than user-friendly format for PC users.

In addition, to celebrate its release on GOG, the game is currently 50% off on this gaming platform, making it a very attractive opportunity to enjoy the first installment of Kratos raiding the realms of Norse mythology, after his various installments harassing the Greek gods in the past.

God of War offline with GOG

GOG has already put God of War on sale on its website, and in addition to having an attractive launch offer, it also has the particularity that it does not have any DRM that checks if the user is online permanently. Furthermore, it also includes all the improvements added to the PC version, such as keyboard and mouse adaptation, compatibility with ultra-wide monitors, or the use of DLSS and FSR technologies.

God of War, on the other hand, was one of the most relevant video games of 2018. In fact, it won the Game of the Year award that same year, and the game was so acclaimed by both the public and critics that in 2022 its sequel was released and, although it didn’t win the award again, it became one of the standout games of its release year.

The “always online” and what it entails

Nowadays, in many cases, in the face of social and structural progress, we have not realized that more and more video games categorically require the user to be online to enjoy, not only the online services they may have, but also to have access to the games themselves. And although in most cases this may not be relevant, in exceptional or more residual cases, the experience can turn against you if you do not have access to the Internet due to geographical circumstances or infrastructure incidents.

In this way, therefore, GOG will allow players who want to play the 2018 release of God of War on PC to do so without the need to be connected to the network permanently. Obviously, it is also possible on PlayStation consoles, but now it can also be done through a computer.

Kratos has become soft, says the creator of ‘God of War’

I don’t want to see these characters growing. I don’t like at all the direction ‘God of War’ is going.

Let’s be honest: the first three games of the ‘God of War’ saga were a hack and slash with not much else to tell. Kratos was a tormented character who, for one reason or another, had to kill every monster or god he encountered. It was fun, didn’t require much thought, and managed to create an imposing figure who was, in essence, a killing machine. But in the reboot of the saga, which almost everyone has loved for Kratos’ natural evolution, there is someone who has felt left behind.

Having a bad time

It is none other than David Jaffe, the creator of the original trilogy, who has stated in a YouTube video that he cannot stand the two new games in the franchise. “I don’t want to see these characters growing up. I don’t like at all the direction that ‘God of War’ is going.” At least he says he liked the first one, but it is ‘Ragnarok’ that has caused him absolute rejection, not because of the gameplay, but because of what it tells.

“Someone should tell these people not to do it from time to time. And tell them ‘We love that you are artistic, we love that you are taking things from your personal life…’ but someone needs to stand up and say, ‘You need to do all that within the fence we have built and if you walk outside of it, the electric collar will hurt you’. Or in other words: like until now, but resembling their ‘God of War’.

Jaffe has not directed a game in the franchise since 2007, but that hasn’t stopped him from giving his opinion on it even though he couldn’t give advice on these new titles because he was immersed, at the time, in the development of ‘Drawn to death’, for PS4, which never quite worked out (and you may have never heard of it).

Will we see a tougher and less sentimental Kratos in the future? Will we return to the Aegean landscapes to take down the gods whenever it may be? For now, it seems that Sony is strongly betting on the Ghost of Sparta, so it wouldn’t be surprising if we soon learn more about the sixth game in the main saga. Until then, we will have to settle for its free DLC. And no sentimentality.

Nostalgia Meets Gameplay: THQ Nordic Drops News of Upcoming Video Game Starring Comic Book Legends

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to have a video game adaptation, following the darkest and most popular comic they’ve had in recent times.

Something we wouldn’t have expected not too many years ago is that the Ninja Turtles would become relevant in the world of comics. In addition to reprinting the original comics and having a modern collection that can compete in quality with the best of Marvel and DC, one Ninja Turtles title in particular has managed to create a sensation among fans and non-fans alike. One that, moreover, has today been officially announced to have a video game adaptation.

THQ Nordic has announced that it is developing an adaptation of The Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. Showing a very brief trailer, where you can see nothing more than the title itself, some candles going out and a very Japanese style, they wanted to leave us with long teeth.

Fortunately, that’s not all we know. Particularly since the comic has achieved great popularity since its release. In a dystopian future, three of the four ninja turtles have died and the survivor, dressing and arming herself as a ninja, decides to take revenge on those who have murdered her brothers and brought the world to the brink of collapse. Scripted by Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz and Peter Laid, and drawn by Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop and Kevin Eastman, this is a dark, hard-boiled comic that bears many similarities to the original Ninja Turtles comics. All this in five issues, compiled in a single volume published in Spain by ECC.

We also know a few details about the game. It will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. It will closely follow the story of this surviving ninja turtle seeking revenge in war-torn New York and the game will be a third-person RPG action game inspired by the two most recent titles in the God of War franchise.

Does all this sound good? Well, we have some bad news. Don’t expect it to come out soon. The game still has a few years to go before its release, something that is confirmed by the total absence of any kind of date in the trailer. Something that leaves us with long teeth and eager to sink our teeth into this game that promises to give much to talk about in the future.
