After taking a relaxing break with the likes of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, FromSoftware returns to its roots with this long-awaited sequel that might just go ahead and mech your day.

Can this Norse-themed sequel to the much-loved 2018 reboot live up to the hype? You'd be a brave person to bet against Kratos...
