God of WarRagnarokplayers are happy about the great reviews, and now, as the game is out and people are playing, more interesting things are being found. Reddit user disneyrain posts a picture of a bookshelf in Sindri’s house that, along with a few scrolls and a glass bottle, houses a few books that any PlayStation fan will recognize as being tributes to other PlayStation Games. There seems to be a clear reference toRatchet and Clank, as well as one toAstro’s Playroom, but some of the other covers are harder to discern. However, when players combine this Easter egg with that of Kvasir’s Poems in the game, then it all starts to come together.
For those who don’t know, players are able to collect a total of 14 poems by the great poet, Kvasirin the game, with each instance of collection causing a hilarious exchange between Kratos and Mimir about poetry and culture.God of War’s Kratos retains his Spartan identityin small ways like this, while he tries to separate himself from that life for Atreus’s sake in other ways as well. These poems of Kvasir are each a reference to a different PlayStation game likeDeath Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us Part 2, and many more.
So, as players traverse the nine realms collecting these poems, they show up on this bookshelf in Sindri’s house. Then, it is just a matter of matching the poem with the cover art of the book to figure out which one is which. Though it may be one ofthe most common mistakesGod of War Ragnarokplayers are making, exploring the world extensively yields wonderful Easter eggs and references like this during a playthrough.
God of War Ragnarokis available now for PS4 and PS5.
