    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.

It’s better than the 2018 version in every way. Rich in story, incredible graphics, challenging but not impossible gameplay, and a huge world for you to explore. It’s honestly better than Elden Ring in every way. Elden Ring was just boring, empty, outdated, and impossibly difficult. This game truly deserved to be GOTY.… Expand

    Amazing game, good story and awesome combat, soundtrack is epic as hell.
    Even better than 2018 GOW.
    Good character development too.

    Sadly some Polish and Russian speaking people are reviewing bombing cause it isnt dubbed in their language *insert facepalm*.
    or people forget its a sequel: so yes its gonna take place in the same realms ofc...

    Pegou nos conceitos do jogo anterior e melhora-os. A narrativa deste jogo foi desenvolvida com um nível de maestria gigante. Se vais jogar na ps4 não te preocupes, não notei uma única queda de quadros e a PlayStation não faz assim tanto barulho como alguns vídeos diziam. Se gostaste do jogo anterior, este vai entrar na tua lista de jogos favoritos

    All gameplay aspects improved and re-newed from the perfect pre-quel.
    Santa Monica Studio bring a new GOTY for all gamers that love this franchise. Thanks SMS

    O jogo é sensacional! É um primor técnico em todos os quesitos e é tudo aquilo que uma sequência direta deve ser. Mantém o que da certo no seu antecessor e evolui em todos os quesitos. É impressionante a qualidade deste jogo. GOTY de 2022 pra mim.

    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.    … 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.
