Players can finally tell Kratos’ son Atreus to shut the heck up, as first reported by Kotaku.In the original release, Atreus was like Ocarina of Time’s Navi on Adderall. He was, in a word, talkative.

With precise and responsive controls, adorable characters, and an exciting variety of mechanics and environments, Astro Bot is easily one of the best games that Sony has ever produced.Astro Bot is technically the fifth entry in…
