    It's terrible. It's boring. The graphics are ok at best. Toxic PlayStation fan boys raved about this game being the best thing ever but I just don't see it. Meh at best.

    Terrible story, plot, writing, pacing, set pieces, etc. No plot twists at the end.

    I miss those sex montage back then. Now Kratos has make-up all over his face. Best game in there

    Basically a giant DLC.
    Such a huge disappointment, don't buy this game full price.

    It's a peace of boring poorly made garbage (pretty much as the previous part). Controls feels awful (especially when you're fighting against bosses in open world), the plot is dull and you do not feel anything for characters, you just don't care about them at all.
    And thank god this sh*t didn't win any award this time.

    this game had been made by morons. Everything is dumb in this piece of crap. The combat are very bad (le camera lock is nightmarish), the story is boring as hell (the cutscenne takes forever)... Beside the graphics, this gamle has nothing to offer. A great deception. Do not buy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to begin.
    I have played and beaten 100% of each GoW games on the hardest difficulties. This game has made me quit gaming. It ruined the franchise and Santa Monica studios should retire and be sterilized so they don't infect the world with more trash. It's a downgrade from 2018. It's an elden ring wannabe. Filled with lazy designed boss fights, subpar main quest bosses, and a clearly rushed end.
    Riddled with artifical difficultly. The camera work should have stayed like the originals. This over the shoulder nonsense keeps you from keeping track of every enemy and projectile. The little arrows that warn you don't give any indication of the distance or speed at which travels.
    In the OG games the camera allowed more management.
    Generous auto tracking from enemies. Poor and very little combos. Just like 2018.

    Great graphics and story. Beautiful. I will give devs that.
    But the gameplay, level and boss design, is atrocious. Borderline a walking and traveling simulator. How do you prop up a fight with heimdall and have him be quite easy to beat. Why do optional fights take 3x as long as the main ones?
    4 years of wait is for a Thor and Odin fight and it's the simplest of fights. Obviously rushed and poorly designed. was awfully sad to have optional bosses be better than the main ones.
    The maven gave me more trouble..
    Valks over berserkers. That fight where you fight those 3 berserker sisters is by far the worst designed boss fight of the last 10 years. If you cant come up with something other than toss in more enemies, you shouldn't be making games. There's 40 year DnD campaigns with more flair and design and creativity.
    Borderline 3/4 of any boss fight has the bosses main ability to have adds. No cool moves no nothing. Just spam ground unblockables and summon auto target suicide bombers. If you can't make a boss tough without adding additional enemies or summons. It's a bad boss design. Simple as that I am so disappointed. I loved the 2018 game despite the downgrade of combat combos and the camera play. I was hoping they would fix the combos atleast.
    But this is the last game I will ever buy.
    No story simulator is worth 70 dollars.

    The amount of times you'll get killed by **** you can't see at all is insane.
    Do not buy. Do not buy. The story does make up for extremely bad gameplay
    Critics are just paid industry plants. Anyone who actually think this game is above 5/10 needs to be sterilized so they can't spread stupidity either.

    The game mechanics are better than those of gow 2018 but they have thrown overboard the incredible story that Norse mythology could give. this game was doomed since they decided on two games instead of three.
    the 2018 story had just the right level of drama and depth. in this game everything is varnished with an extra layer of crying and well-being

    This God of war is just a Fake Ragnarok, nothing happens from the beginning to the end and we take no pleasure to play, go take Sonic Frontiers instead, there is gameplay at least there.

    Goty 2022 for sure, the story is even better and more epic than the previous one. The only downside is that there won't be a third one.

    Hi. So many grind in this game. Spent about 70 hours and that is not even the end of the game and so many materials should be gathered and so many quests should be conducted. Boring and frustrating. This game makes me angry. Instead of to concentrate on the plot you are forced to search all the objects on the maps of every world and to solve thousands of riddles which are just to find theHi. So many grind in this game.

In one moment this game just stopped to be interesting and funny and become annoying. So, I can't even recommend it. Just a waste of time and money.… Expand

    DLC за $72? Или распиленная на две части большая классная цельная игра. Догадываюсь какой конвейер налаживает сони, вроде после финала и ругать не хочется но игра очевидно супер душная кто играл тот знает. (20-10) 20 часов душноты 10 часов сюжета собственно такая и оценка.DLC за $72? Или распиленная на две части большая классная цельная игра.

    dlaczego nie mogę wybrać języka innego niż niemiecki, włoski, francuski lub angielski w regionie Wielkiej Brytanii? po co tłumaczyć grę na tyle języków, skoro gracz nie może wybrać jednego z nich i musi zarejestrować nowe konto i tam kupić grę?

    Complete trash. Very boring game, completely copies the original, while it has a stupid uninteresting story. This is the maximum DLC for $20 and not a new part.
    Story - 0/10
    Characters - 1/10
    Gameplay - 3/10
    Graphics - 7/10
    Music - 4/10
    World design - 2/10

    An easy walking simulator that you go pointA to point B linear and the game you can just mash attack.

    El peor God of War de la historia, mucho brilli brilli, puzzles soporíferos, falta de sensación de brutalidad, jugabilidad pésima, un inventario infumable, historia pésima, básicamente como cargarse al personaje varonil de Kratos y convertirlo en un frágil.

    Underwhelming. I loved the first one and the main problem is ragnarok is basically the same as its predessor. Besides the cinematics and the new story, everything feels the same. The level design is outdated, combats are ok but turns to be boring. In fact nothing is new, this game looks like a dlc.

    The game experience of God of War: Ragnarök is very uneven. The title features battles where main bosses serve as damage sponges, the plot that whiplashes between soul-searching and brutality, the world that is empty in some corners and over-saturated with puzzles in others. At the same time, it is a huge, well-crafted title with good overall story and character development. The complete absence of bugs and the game’s technical performance is more than impressive.

    If Sony decided that this will be the final entry for the PS4 platform, I would be more than fine with this decision. Similar to Avengers: Endgame being the final tip of the hat to the original generation of MCU characters, this is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest PlayStation generations of all time, and a suitable send-off.

    The game runs smoothly, without any noticeable frame drop even on the older console, a clear sign that the optimization process carried out by Santa Monica Studios has been flawless... God of War Ragnarok is exactly what we hoped for, and even more. It offers a masterfully told story using a more mature approach, seasoned with a unique setting, a rich characterization of the characters, and challenges that can keep even hardcore gamers busy at the highest difficulties. In other words, it is a title that is simply just too good to be missed.
