The world of God Of War (2018) is filled with many dangerous enemies and environmental hazards, but one unlucky player was accidentally crushed to death by a trap while locked in a heated battle with some low-level foes. Just like in the original God Of War trilogy and its many spin-offs, Kratos and his son Atreus can explore many ancient structures in Sony Santa Monica’s 2018 reboot — all filled with various traps meant to ward off any would-be intruders and spell a quick and bloody end to the former Ghost of Sparta.
