AGod of War Ragnarokplayer shared an unsettling picture that shows why players must think twice before pausing cutscenes. Cutscenes are a crucial part of many modern games as they shed light on important events related to the story, andGod of War Ragnarokis no different.God of War Ragnarokis full of nail-biting cinematics, like the first meeting between Thor and Kratos, and Odin’s first appearance.
However, someGod of War Ragnarokfans don’t like watching cutscenes as they believe it’s time-consuming and makes the experience slightly passive. On the other hand, cinematics in games slow down the pace and give the player some time to regroup while giving important information about the story. Pausing the game during a cutscene is normal practice, but oneGod of War Ragnarokgamerhas found out that people should be careful while doing it.

Reddit user Big_Guy6 shared an image on theGod of War Ragnaroksubreddit showing the pause screen during a cutscene. The caption says the user paused the game during a cutscene when Atreus turns into a bear.Atreus has a special ability inGod of War Ragnarokto transform into a feral bear or wolf, and the user paused the screen during his transformation. Shockingly, Atreus’s look is changed dramatically due to the awkward timing of the pause, as he looks like a weird cross between a human and a bear. Atreus’s face appears to have a snout, similar to animals like dogs, wolves, and bears.
TheGod of War Ragnarokcommunity on Reddit was amused to see the unusual appearance of Atreus, and many compared him to a rat. One user jokingly called him “Ratreus,” while another compared it to a scene from the movieJumanji. This particular cutscene takes place in Sindri’s house in the presence of Tyr, Freya, Brok, andSindri fromGod of War Ragnarok, when Atreus lashes out and suddenly transforms into a massive bear.
Atreus’s shapeshifting abilities inGod of War Ragnarokare one of his greatest assets, as he gets tremendous amounts of strength and aggression in animal form. In addition, Atreus excels in linguistic capabilities as he can understand various animals and the native language of dwarves and dark elves. He is also a skilled combatant and a crucial ally to Kratos. Still,God of War Ragnarokplayers must be careful while pausing during cutscenes if they don’t want to see a deformed Atreus.
God of War Ragnarokis available now for PS4 and PS5.
