"God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla Expands Story Beyond DLC"

The Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarök takes inspiration from Hades, offering a roguelite mode and a story-centric epilogue. The DLC allows players to explore Kratos' past and confront his old self, providing a therapy session for the protagonist. Structurally similar to Hades, players start each run at a hub area, purchase upgrades, and choose starting equipment. While lacking weapon variety, the DLC introduces new challenges and rewards, maintaining the magic of the game.
