10 Video Game Characters Too Angry To Die

6. Kratos - God Of War

If there's one thing Kratos does even better than shouting BOY!, it's being infested with internal, unrelenting rage.

This guy is one of the angriest people to ever exist in gaming and even beyond gaming. Every action he does is fuelled by anger, and he seems to only communicate in the early games at a very loud volume indeed.

It's not hard to see why. Throughout life, Kratos was a bloodthirsty Spartan warrior who craved glory. He was tricked by Ares, the God of War, into horribly murdering his own family, and this starts off a multi-game quest to basically kill every single God in the world in the most bloodthirsty manner possible.

By the time of the God of War reboot, Kratos is much more sombre than he used to be, but every time he summons his Leviathan Axe, the old rage takes him and he's ripping apart enemies left, right and centre before you know it.

As he's proved time and time again after surviving the most ridiculous of events, Kratos' anger is what keeps him alive. He's so angry, when he fell into the Underworld on God of War II he fights his way out of it and returns to life!
