    This is a perfect example of what I think a sequel should be. They built upon an already amazing game with both refined and new gameplay mechanics while also continuing to tell a compelling. I couldn’t recommend this game more, but I do strongly suggest playing 2018 first.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of war RAGNARÖK que me pareció

    ADVERTENCIA DE SPOILERS ANTES DE LEER Un buen juego de inicio a fin mucha gente critica mas que es un DLC y cosas asi pero realmente es un juego muy largo tarde 34 horas en terminarlo en modo dame sin misericordia y solo historia y uno que otra mision secundaria un buen desarrollo de personaje por parte de kratos de solo ser un espartano con irá y sed de venganza a ser un personaje intentando enseñar a su hijo siendo un maestro y en este ragnarok ser mas un padre y demostrando preocupación, sentimientos de querer llorar, felicidad, enojo, miedo etc demostrando mas a un kratos mas abiertamente, su historia es igual que en otras entregas la continuación donde se quedo el anterior juego muy buen desenlace y final me hubiera gustado que hubieran mostrado mas ejercito en temas del final cuando van a asgard ya que se ven solo los personajes que mas son vistos como principales y no personajes secundarios o solo para rellenar la pantalla los discursos del final se sintio para muy poca gente me parecio un gran juego su dificultad esta bien batalle un poco en jugarlo por la dificultad entretenidisimo si eres ya veterano en gow iniciar con esa difícultad ya que necesitaras de acostumbrarte a las nuevas mecanicas y habilidades ahora me lo acabare al 100% Se jugo en PS4 FAT

    What an incredible game about a father and son and the emotional bond they share. Most of you have become too critical of video games. The game Carrie’s the same mechanics from the previous game and builds upon those. I haven’t had this much fun playing a video game since Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Santa Monica poured their hearts and souls into this game to give us something exceptional.What an incredible game about a father and son and the emotional bond they share.

    God of War Ragnarok is an Outstanding, Quality game even on the PS4, however, there are a few minor problems while playing the Story and Some Side Content, I played for over 35+ hours.
    The Story is excellently paced but lacks some detail and explanation about specific events (It left some Plot holes), the Combat and gameplay are reminiscent of GOW 2018 with more combat flow and tactical combat mechanics.

    The Characters are well-written, and the Environments and realms are expansive and impressive graphically while maintaining the linear open space the previous game is known for.

    The Music is incredibly satisfying which reminds me of Huge, Epic and Cinematic Soundtracks that Films are known for. This game makes the first game look like a DLC and that is a good thing but I feel there is a lack of something that I can't really point my finger towards but it has to do with the later parts of the game.

    I feel that it's generic and safe, it doesn't try to do something ultimately Unique like the previous games in the series. It's understandable where they want to go with the franchise and the characters but I expected there to be something more, something unexpected at the end, but as I mentioned before the story of the game plays it safe.

    On to ratings:
    Story 9/10
    Gameplay 8/10
    Visuals 9/10
    Music 10/10
    Polish and Quality 9/10

    I was going to give this game 10/10 but there are minor flaws in the game that hinder the experience, in my opinion, don't get me wrong I enjoyed this game very much but I think it is safer to say that this is a 9/10 it's close to being perfect, but it misses some elements that the previous titles had that made it have a lasting personality.

    At the writing of this review, I thought of this being an 8/10 or even a 7 but I have to consider that this is not its own game with its own personality this is a continuation of the story of 2018 and is frankly a difficult game to rate, so I had to consider the previous title as a base.

    2018 is an 8/10 for me, this game is better in almost all respects so hence a 9/10.
    I highly recommend playing GOW 3, 2018 and then Ragnarok.

    As for when you should buy it, either now or when it goes on a quick sale even if it's $2 or $5 off it's worth it. As for Performance it locked to 1080p 30fps, with no visible drops in fps whatsoever, there are some texture loading problems you'll notice when playing the first hours of the game and some character models pop in before combat but these are quickly solved, I experienced no crashes and only one time where the game needed to load for 2 seconds. Other than that the game is well-optimized.

    I didn't expect Ragnarok with its sheer size to run well on my standard 9+ years old PS4 it really shows how much care was taken by Santa Monica studios and what they can do with 4 years on a decade-old console.

    I hope to see this Level of Quality, Story Telling, Gameplay, Optimization and Care spread to all Developers and Publishers, gaming is only going to get bigger and the GOW Franchise has set another standard for AAA gaming.

    Only a few hours into this game, and it is absolutely amazing, core gameplay is very similar, but that's how a sequel often is, can't knock it for that, story is fantastic so far, runs quite well on ps4 as well, PS5 would be preferable of course, but it's certainly playable on 4.

Battles are epic, enemy variety's enormous, characters and story are even deeper and the graphics are better in every way compared to its predecessor. The game is almost perfect, which is why I will give it a 10. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has an ending. That's how good it is.

    I have been a God of War fan ever since the 2018 game occurred and when this game was announced a few years ago, I couldn't have been more excited. Which makes it all the more satisfying for me to say it was so much better than I ever could've imagined and then some making it easily my personal GOTY for 2022. I'll start off by saying I didn't expect the soundtrack to be any better than theI have been a God of War fan ever since the 2018 game occurred and when this game was announced a few years ago, I couldn't have been more excited. Which makes it all the more satisfying for me to say it was so much better than I ever could've imagined and then some making it easily my personal GOTY for 2022. I'll start off by saying I didn't expect the soundtrack to be any better than the 2018 game since there was something special about hearing it back then but Bear McCeary actually made some new tracks that are so much more special that I was immersed even with all the UI on screen and I actually listen to some of his new tracks on my Spotify playlist. The combat is roughly the same blueprint as the first game but that's not a bad thing since the combat was already phenomenal and they improved on it even further with new tools at your disposal and a new weapon and this weapon does actually feel like an extension of Kratos's past if that makes sense (don't worry, it will once you see it for yourself) hence it deserves to be in this game. I was also glad they listened to feedback on how there wasn't a lot of boss variety in the 2018 game with new bosses being INCREDIBLY aggressive especially on the hard difficulty forcing you to change your fighting style on the fly and react in the snap of a finger. Plus, because of how it's a sequel to the 2018 game, you now have access to ALMOST all of the realms (one being permanently closed for reasons you'll understand once you play the game) and even though not all of them are fleshed out enough, they're all so beautiful and unique that they'll still leave a lasting impression and memory for years to come. Speaking of beautiful, this game is exactly that and that's especially impressive on a PS4 PRO let alone the base that it left me taking so many screenshots with the photo mode and how they even payed attention to subtle details like how when you activate the Spartan Rage, you can actually see his veins bulging. There are a LOT of characters new and old and even the characters with less screen time are utilized just enough so you can remember them all and it also helps all the performances for these characters are on another level to ensure they don't feel like unnecessary additions. There's also the fact that there are a LOT more side quests in this game but unlike most other games where they could either be connected to the world massively or just filler to extend the run time, the side quests here are in conjunction to the lore so you can do a side quest and it's so much more rewarding than a typical side quest because you learned about a characters past greatly. Finally, we have the story, sure the story in this game isn't as tight or simplistic as the 2018 game, but that's the point since you're supposed to look at it as a continuation of a story rather than a whole new story entirely and I can definitely say this is an incredible story combining both and one to leave a lasting impression for I would argue for GENERATIONS to come. Plus, there's also the fact if you actually play this game again, you'll realize "so that's what he meant" when you just shrugged it off when you first heard it making the small things hidden that make the game that much better. Now while I do see it as a masterpiece, it's certainly not a TOP-TIER one like The Last of Us Part 2 because there are some small details that while they're not a huge deal, they are enough to where I can say it's not perfect like how when I saw someone drawing, the book looked fully written in and it doesn't even look like they were even making process or even snow not moving properly when it's supposed to, but probably the biggest offender for me personally was either the quick turn being switched to either left trigger AND down button of the d-pad or moving the left analog stick down and clicking it to compensate for the new weapon as opposed to just the down button of the d-pad or some bugs where Kratos was frozen and couldn't get out and NO, the Day 1 patch didn't fix that. Now tbh, all masterpieces have their bugs and glitchs and the ones I mentioned are EXTREME nit picks and restarting the game does fix it meaning it doesn't stop this game from being an absolute MASTERPIECE. Overall, I can definitely say if you have a PS4/PS5, BUY THIS GAME IMMEDIATELY and if you don't, PICK UP THE CONSOLE for the game, don't wait for it to come to PC because that's how good it is.

As a whole this was one of the most pleasant platinums I have ever gotten.
    The only big flaw in my opinion was the parry system - took me quite a lot of time to get

    Cons
    -The story is not as tightly focused, emotive or as well written as the 2018 game.
    -The sections where you play as Atreus drag and should really have been cut down (especially the first one).
    -Some minor graphics bugs (on two occasions the enemy skins didn't load for about 10 seconds so they were invisible but I'm on original PS4 so, honestly, I'm actually amazed there weren't more graphical issues).
    -I think I'm meant to like Atreus but he's low-key (Loki, get it?) sort of annoying.
    -Too much American and modern slang sometimes ruins immersion.
    -Characters blurt out the answers to puzzles pretty much immediately and there is no way to turn it off.

    Generally, very minor quibbles. Definitely recommend.

PS5 users really benefit from the improvements. COMBAT - From a combat-side, it's actually quite bad. I recommend playing on a low difficulty as the combat is unfair and poorly

    PS4 - The game is buggy and slow, loading times are incredibly long. PS5 users really benefit from the improvements.

    COMBAT - From a combat-side, it's actually quite bad. I recommend playing on a low difficulty as the combat is unfair and poorly designed in multiple occasions. Fighting wave after wave of monster sometimes is boring, runic attacks are horrible, positioning is irrelevant as enemies will slide towards you while attacking, in general it's very much not rewarding to master, it's probably worst than the first game.

    STORY - It's worst than the first game as it expands tremendously moving away from the laser focus of the original. Characters like Mimir and Freya and Kratos himself are actually very much humanized taking away from them the aura of legends they used to have. The main villain of the story, however, is very well made (and acted). The finale was very satisfying in my opinion.

There are hidden paths, side quests, treasures and challenges. You can not access everything at first as some paths are locked until you get the right item or ability. The riddles are again excellent. You have to use ice & fire abilities, find correct angles, search your surroundings and think about solutions. I fully enjoyed this. I should point out that it is not an open world game but has some big areas you can explore like Svartalheim, Alfheim or Vanaheim which are awesome.I should admit that gameplay wise the first few hours are a bit weaker to be fair. The battle system works well too. They made if challenging and rewarding. You get more abilities and can unlock even more with experience points. There are runes for special attacks, more armor and hilt options for different benefits and an amulet that gets better and better the more you repair it. My only negative is the doge roll. It feels a bit clumsy at times but this could be just me. For the presentation looks it really good with some exceptions here and there. Overall this is a masterpiece and worthy conclusion to the norther saga of God of War. The ending was so satisfying that it could end there for me but they leave the door open for a continuation. It deserves a 10/10 for the story, characters, gameplay and presentation. Expand

I have had other games run much louder than this one. I noticed only one frame drop ever through out the 30 hours of gameplay. The PS4 version is completely fine.

    The only complaint I had was that during some puzzles the npc's would just comment a hint within three seconds of starting the puzzle. I actually prefer help on puzzles normally, but this was often said WAY too quickly.

    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.
