10 Video Game Fourth Wall Breaks That Came Out Of NOWHERE

God of War Ragnarok is a sequel of epic proportions, and the final boss with Thor is the definitive proof of this.

The developers did not hesitate to use every conceivable method for making Kratos' clash with the Norse god feel as action-packed and adrenaline-pumping as possible.

In fact, they were even willing to break the game's carefully maintained immersion for it.

During the fight, Thor will give it his all. The god will not want the fight to be over too soon, wanting his moment of forgotten glory to last as long as possible.

His will to keep things going will be so strong, in fact, that if you die and get a game over screen, the menu will suddenly be interrupted by Thor, who will tell you that he's not finished with you yet and then use his control of lightning to literally shock you back into the fight.

This fourth wall break is completely unexpected, but that is exactly why it works for the narrative of the fight.

Thor rediscovering his own love for combat after years of drinking himself into a stupor is perfectly captured by the fact he's willing to be the only one to break the fourth wall in order to keep fighting Kratos.
