10 Most Passionate Video Game Couples
1. Kratos & Freya - God Of War (2018)
This inclusion may seem peculiar to some, after all, Freya isn’t even alive throughout any of the narrative of the game. However, that is exactly what makes their relationship so special.
The game begins with Kratos and his son Atreus burning the wife and mothers body in an emotionally charged, traditional ceremony. We then find out that it was Freya’s last wish for her ashes to be scattered at the highest peak in all the realms. This request is the primary goal of the entire game.
As one might expect from the literal god of war, Kratos and his inexperienced son, slay monsters and mythical beings a plenty throughout their journey. However, despite the often-brutal battles the two of them endure, it is all done in the name of love.
During their journey, the seemingly harsh and hard-hearted Kratos shows real emotion, and truly begins to care for his son. Concluding with the pair scattering Freya’s gold-speckled ashes.
This love extends beyond that of a man and a woman. Instead, God of War embodies a deeper connection. The love two parents have for each other, and their child; the love of family.
