    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 The level design is outdated, combats are ok but turns to be boring.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.

    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.

    There are games that push the envelope, GOW ragnarok is not one of them, boring gameplay and nothing much changed from 2018

    That is not god of war, that's more like god of snot. Worst game in a series. i started game on overhype and after 10h of boring gameplay my feelings transform to overhate. Seems like a naughty dog game

    God of War game without God Of War elements..not epic enough and the boss fights were literally boring( except the first Thor encounter).

    Very boring and dull. Only the graphics have changed a bit. The plot is drawn out and all the epic events that we did with our own hands in the previous parts, in this part take place in the background at best. Well, the red-haired white girl turned black is an epic fail.

    Gow 2018 was brilliant, Gow Ragnarok is only a shadow of that brilliance, the most safe sequel ever

    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.

    PS4 version is poor. Bugs, Crashes, Textures, Otimization. Santa Monica being like Ubisoft. About gameplay: Repetitive Enemies, Menu and Map are not clear, Boring and Massive Puzzles...

    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 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.

    We are faced with a sad DLC for an exorbitant price. Repetitive phases already existing in the previous version, a manic and boring dialogue. After 20 hours of play, everything is repeated ad nauseam.

    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.

Although the reskinned aspect of a working formula seems to be the safest bet, if we were to find any sort of effort of evolution since the prior title, it wouldn’t feel as lackluster from a highly anticipated title to make its grand entrance. This one feels rather like a quickly brewed DLC of the previous title instead.… Expand

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 the hidden stone to open the box, or to try to it in time.

    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?

    A game that after 4 years looks like a dlc. He still has the same shoddy physics and no one in the press seems to care. A very similar combat with an annoying camera, the non-main characters have a poorer design and quality and the scenarios are continually hidden in fog, the ps5 does not contribute much with its ssd and does not have the possibility of ray tracing of any kind. theA game that after 4 years looks like a dlc.

    Any other game from another saga would have been criticized by the press with its continuity that doesn't even change in the hud. But they must have received many "love letters" from sony and I wouldn't be surprised if they give him the goty again after the robbery of rdr2 in 2018, the biggest robbery in history    … Expand

    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.
