Atreus hungers for knowledge to help him understand the prophecy of “Loki” and the role he is to play in Ragnarök. I'll grab the steelbook / premium-y versions sometimes, but collector's editions are filled with too much crap I don't want.I have had several opportunities to replace the equipment that came with the set, but have not simply because the equipment I have is still superior to the new stuff.
