I actually just finished the 2018 game and am of the mind that his character didnt really change THAT much, maybe towards the end arguably.

That's a big part what makes the new God of War so great - that Kratos has changed. He's not a one-dimensional murder machine anymore; he's a dad, and becoming a dad softens you. The game would've flopped if he was still the same Kratos from 18 years ago.
tbf he was a dad back in Sparta... it just didnt go so well
That's something I think many folks forget, in art your have to change or else people will eventually get bored of it.
God of War is one of those games that wants to tell a story, so of course Kratos is going to change since the game isn't meant to be a saturday morning cartoon where characters are meant to be one-dimensional. Like, if they want games like that, there's always Crash Bandicoot or Call of Duty where the plot doesn't really matter that much.
