One of the vital ways in which the game goes the extra mile is the fleshing out of the in-game world, which is done through hidden secrets and lore that can be found across the Nine Realms. An example of these is the set of Artifacts called Kvasir’s Poems, which at first glance, is just a collection of writings that the dwarves love. Yet, upon closer inspection, it is revealed that they are really interesting homages to previous PlayStation exclusives.
There are a total of 14 Kvasir’s Poems to be found in the game, and each one is titled in a humourous way, often made up of synonyms that correspond to an actual game title. The full list includes:
The Sunrise of Nothingness – Horizon Zero Dawn Large Society Ground Orb, The Performance – MLB: The Show We Who Remain, Part the Second – The Last of Us Part 2 Tool and Bang – Ratchet and Clank Afterlife Abandonment – Death Stranding Visions After Rest – Dreams Spirits Within Walls – Concrete Genie Celestial Construct – Astrobot Upon Pursuing a Place Not Marked On Maps – Uncharted Trip – Journey Eastern Spectre – Ghost of Tsushima An Organization: In the Future – The Order 1886 Sanguinity – Bloodborne The Dead Do Not Ride – Days Gone
It is certainly a nice surprise to find all of these homages in the game, and if you didn’t pay attention, you just might miss one of the many things that makes God of War Ragnarok such an excellent game.
