10 Video Games Whose Best Ending Was In DLC

Kratos has done a lot of things that most would be right to label unforgivable. God knows he'd be first in line to do so. But the Norse duology on the PS4/5 helps him to come to terms with his guilt and try to move forward. But anyone who hates themselves to the extent that Kratos does knows that that's never the end of it. Kratos needed to have his past laid out so that he can truly come to grips with it.

Enter God of War: Valhalla.

This free DLC for Ragnarok picks up a bit after the events of the story, with Kratos and Mimir answering a summons to the Norse realm of Valhalla, which only those who have died in battle can typically enter. Valhalla has been brilliantly reimagined into a constantly shifting gauntlet, meant to wear away at the worldly regrets of those who enter so that they may pass into Valhalla unburdened. And Tyr has decided to use this system to help his friend work through his traumas.

Kratos was already the greatest performance of Christopher Judge's career, but his performance in Valhalla is his magnum opus. A man who desperately wants to do good and be better, but just needs to forgive himself enough to take the right steps. Valhalla isn't just the best ending for God of War: Ragnarok, it is the perfect final note for the character of Kratos.
