How God of War Made Me a Better Father
God of War’s powerful story is sure to impact many people, but at its core it is an emotional and surprisingly-relatable story about a father and a son. As a relatively new dad myself, I found so many lessons, reminders, and choices within this game about who I want to be as a father.

I’m a 34 year old father of Charlotte, a wonderful little girl with a HUGE amount of personality and a temper to match.
