My favourite was the Horizon Zero Dawn poem easter egg

[@theomcbane7711]

If you got the platinum trophy... these aren't Easter eggs👀

[@lastmakc]

Except for the quest with trolls and the mystical heirloom. This quest is not counted for Platinum.

[@SpikeTheWolf]

Is kratos went back in time how is Athena still dead?

[@chriswinspear5728]

Barlogs name can also spell balrog. Sleeping dragon can also be woken like the trolls.
The snake conversation could be taken out of context, Agroboda saw the snake and it got bigger.
Artreus: Thats what she said!
Also id call sly Cooper a scoundrel not a beast, he's suppose to be a their is he not? Hence the name Sly, Sly and scoundrel, like tea and biscuits.

[@codyjohnson3893]

Thank you for the spoiler warning!

Haven’t play the first one yet. Just got my ps5 last week.

Another Easter egg is the lore that mjolnir can revive goats. So when Thor revives Kratos during the fight he is reviving the G.O.A.T 😂

The loki & Angerboda sequences and that grandmother part was the most useless and boring part in this game. Wtf was the developers thinking???

The turning to wolf race was cool tho

[@corrd3ll647]

Really?..y’all killed the lure of the game, and spoiled it. Continue to your next overkill of dead space

[@Zealox]

Why watch it if you don't want spoilers?

[@demon-mi2ho]

I'll give GOWR sadly a 4/10 it was to much story line instead of action and it felt like it was part one instead of part two. But people now wants a story game with some minimum of action.

[@billnijjer1]

There’s a literal give me story mode which only focuses less on combat. Please rethink your rating.

[@AngusBeefington]

Idk if we were playing the same game

[@ASR-ash]

You seem like a very thoughtful person

[@SpikeTheWolf]

What?

[@vish3510]

And yet the game is up there as one of the best, same with TLOU, seems like story and gameplay is making it a better gaming experience, who woulda thought eyy.
