Excellent analysis. I found the second game to be quite long, so with the last chapters, I wanted to finish it already. But you're probably right, the Ragnarok could have been more epic. One other annoyance for me was being told what to do right away when it came to environmental puzzles. Otherwise, the story is compelling, the relationship between Kratos and Atreus powerful, the way they showed their growth too.

I know nothing about this but found your look at the narrative structure fascinating!
Also like the nerfing explanation.
Thanks for such a well documented analysis.
