In God of War (2018), what difficulty setting is described as the hardest challenge?

In God of War (2018), the hardest difficulty setting is called Give Me God of War.

This setting is designed for players seeking the most demanding combat experience. Enemies become more dangerous, encounters require more careful use of abilities, and mistakes are punished more severely than on the lower settings. It is intended for experienced players rather than for a relaxed first playthrough.

The game also includes Give Me a Story, Give Me a Balanced Experience, and Give Me a Challenge. These names form a progression from the most accessible option to increasingly difficult combat. Give Me God of War is distinctive because it cannot be changed downward during a playthrough once selected.

The title can cause confusion because it sounds like a reference to the series itself rather than a conventional difficulty label. It is nevertheless the official name of the highest challenge setting in the 2018 game.
