    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

    戰神諸神黃昏是遊戲界能把故事說好的罕見極品，不論是劇本、角色發展、以及探討的命運、親情議題都刻畫得十分深刻。身為系列粉絲，看到Kratos在希臘時期以及到現在北歐神話的改變，可以看出製作組在創新以及角色曲線的用心，是ps主機必玩的作品，非常推薦。

    Undoubtedly, all those who give zero to this game are haters and cannot see its huge success But this does not detract from the value of Santa Monica's new creation, because we all know that God of War Ragnarok is a great sequel. For this reason, the feedback of critics and fans of this franchise and most of the players has been positive towards it

    immense improvements in the gameplay, the fights are much more fluid, it is noted that Santa Monica has taken care, so that the Ragnarok sequel was superior to that of 2018, in my opinion it surpassed it in all aspects, the story is also much better, more complex, with more plot-twists, best game of 2022 and one of the best games ever

    God of War Ragnarok, as the fifth original version of the franchise and the second game based on the mythology of the North, as well as the ending of the mythology of the North, had a very heavy responsibility, and despite the pressures such as the release time and the one-year delay, the final result is so high-quality and attractive. Santa Monica should be appreciated

This game takes the stunning visuals, epic storyline, and polished gameplay of its predecessor and elevates it to new heights. From the breathtaking vistas of the Nine Realms to the heart-pounding combat against towering beasts and mythological creatures, every moment of God of War: Ragnarok is a masterpiece.

    Kratos returns as the central protagonist, and his journey is as emotional and engaging as ever. The bond he shares with his son Atreus is deepened in this installment, and the themes of family, redemption, and sacrifice are explored in profound ways. The voice acting, motion capture, and sound design are all top-notch, and the characters and their relationships feel more real than ever before.

    The combat system has been refined and expanded, with new weapons, skills, and abilities that make each battle feel fresh and exciting. The boss fights are particularly memorable, with each one offering a unique challenge that tests the player's skills and strategic thinking.

    The game's pacing is spot-on, with a perfect balance of action, exploration, and narrative that keeps the player engaged from start to finish. The side quests and optional content are also well-designed, offering a variety of challenges and rewards that add to the game's overall depth and replayability.

    In short, God of War: Ragnarok is a masterpiece that sets a new standard for action-adventure games. It's a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike, and a shining example of what can be achieved when developers put their hearts and souls into a game. 10/10, without a doubt.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Прошел God of War: Ragnarök, вот хочу оставить своё мнение на Metacritic.
    Первая часть очень понравилась, сюжет, боёвка, графика и вообще атмосфера были на высоте. Да, были нарекания и, как я понял, Santa Monica Studio про них услышала!
    И так, мы имеем 100% сиквел, то есть тех же щей, только гуще и с исправлением почти всех небольших ошибок оригинала. Начну с того, что поправили.    Прошел God of War: Ragnarök, вот хочу оставить своё мнение на Metacritic.

    И так, мы имеем 100% сиквел, то есть тех же щей, только гуще и с исправлением почти всех небольших ошибок оригинала.
    Начну с того, что поправили.
    Расширился бестиарий второстепенных боссов. В первой части это были на 90% инеистые тролли, как говорится, "одинаковы с лица" только имена разные. Здесь же это и драконы, и крокодилы, и какие то непонятные существа, хотя тролли тоже остались.
    Теперь мы побываем во всех 9 мирах. Хотя ждал от Асгарда чего то более внушительного чем деревня на скале. Мир гномов более менее получился.
    Добавили третье оружие, копье Драупнира. Хотя ждал конечно большего. Ведь в старых God of War у Кратоса оружия было просто завались.
    Во всём остальном это тот же самый God of War 2018 года. Немного поменяли прокачку, немного вооружение/костюмы, добавили какие то фишки. Но по сути, кто играл в оригинал 2018, будет здесь как рыба в воде.
    История крепкая, продолжает сюжет первой части. Есть интрига, есть слезливые моменты. Персонажи хорошо прописаны. Хотя мне не очень понравилось, что в игре, так называемые, боги могут менять свою сущность. Например в мифах если ты бог войны то, что бы ты не делал, ты будешь сеять лишь хаос и войну, это сущность богов. Они в отличии от людей не могут прощать, забывать и вообще как то меняться. Здесь же и Фрея, и "Тюр" да и сам Кратос становятся более человечными что ли, а это не совсем правильно, на мой взгляд. Ведь в первой части тот же Бальдр, бог расцвета и угасания, должен был умереть и он этого добивался до самого своего конца, потому, что он не мог иначе, он не мог измениться, он бог. Это его сущность. А в Ragnarökе боги почему то стали способны на перемены.
    Ещё я думаю древние скандинавы удивились бы узнав, что ётуны были неграми! Ну куда же без этого теперь? Хорошо пидорестии не завезли. И на том спасибо.
    В прочем, это очень хорошая игра, настоящее продолжение которое очень интересно проходить.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War: Ragnarok, beklediğim epiklik seviyesinde olmasa da dört maşı mamur güzel bir oyun. Zaten önceki oyun hem oynanış hem de evren olarak öyle sağlam temeller attı ki bu oyunun belli bir seviyenin altında olma ihtimali çok azdı.
    Oynanış olarak bazı geliştirmeler, yeni skiller olsa da öyle inanılmaz bir değişiklik yok. Build'ler çeşitlendirilmiş ama. Boss sayısı ve çeşitliliği epey artmış, sevdim.
    Oyunda çok fazla yan görev var. Hikaye ve sunum olarak etkileyici olmasalar da girilen macera, haritada açılan yeni yerler ve yeni bosslar açısından tatmin ediyor. Ama şunu söylemem lazım yan görevler ana hikayenin yoğunluğunu çok büyük ölçüde törpülüyor. Bence önce full ana görev gitmek sonrasında veya tekrar oynayışta yan görevler yapmak lazım. Herkese bunu öneriyorum. Ana maceranın bölünüp durması odağın kaybolmasına neden oluyor.
    Açıkçası ana hikaye de tıpkı oynanış gibi bir süre açılmıyor, ilgi çekmiyor. Oyunun ilk çeyreği bittikten sonra hikaye kendine geliyor.
    Hikayenin temeli basit aslında: Kahramanlarımız kendilerine gösterilen kehanetleri mi yaşayacaklar yoksa eylemleriyle farklı bir yol mu çizecekler? Oyun boyunca bu soru işareti devam ediyor. Sonuna kadar da sürüyor çünkü karakterler sonuna kadar ister istemez kehanetin çizdiği patikadan ilerliyorlar. Açıkçası ben Kratos'un öleceğini düşünmüştüm, yanıldım. İki sonuçtan da yeteri kadar iyi işlendiği sürece memnun olabilirim, ana karakter ölmesin takıntım yok. Ve bu oyunun sonundan ben kendi adıma razıyım. Oğlanın artık büyümesi ve kendi ayakları üzerinde durarak yuvadan uçması her zaman sevdiğim bir drama öğesi olmuştur.
    Ama Atreus buraya kolay gelmedi, kendi hak etti. Oyunun ortalarına kadar Kratos'un oğluna güvenmediğini, onu hem fiziksel olarak alt edilebilir hem de zihinsel olarak kandırılabilir olarak gördüğünü biliyoruz. Atreus'un Asgard'a gidişi oyunun kırılma anı. Kratos oğlunu kaybettiğini sanıp tekrar kavuşunca hem tek önemli olan şeyin onun yanında olmak olduğunu anlıyor hem de oğlunun o kurtlar sofrasından çıkabilmesi ona güvenmesini sağlıyor. Sonra tekrar gitmesine izin vermesi de bundan. Asgard'da gördüklerimiz de olay örgüsü açısından güzeldi. Atreus, Thor'a babasıyla ilişkisinden dolayı empati duyuyor çünkü o kadar şiddetli olmasa da kendisi de benzer dertlerden muzdarip. Odin'in motivasyonunu da iyice anlıyoruz, mutlak bilgiye, evrenin sırrına ulaşmak istiyor. Tanrı bilinmek değil, bilmek istiyor. Bunu takıntı haline getirmesi kendi sonunu hazırlıyor. Atreus ona kanmasa da sözüne değer veriyor oluşu onun da hoşuna gidiyor.
    Bu iki oyun her zaman olduğu gibi dönüşüm hikayesi. İlk oyunda Kratos, oğlunu dönüştüren taraftı daha çok. Ana daha disiplinli, gözü pek bir savaşçı yaptı. Bu oyunun da yarısına kadar Kratos aynı şeyi yapmaya çalışıyor ama göremediği şey oğlanın zaten büyük ölçüde kendini tamamlamış olması. İnisiyatif alması, farklı açılardan bakabilmesi, kalpsiz bir savaşçı yerine etrafındakileri de umursuyor olması bir süre sonra babasının da kalbine dokunuyor ve doğru olanın onun yöntemi olduğunu anlıyor. Bu iki zıt kutup, neticede ortada, Faye'de buluşuyorlar. Oğlanın babasına güven duyduğu ansa diyarları yırtan iti saldığı için herkes onu azarlarken, babasının ona sahip çıkıp neyse hatası düzeltiriz demesiydi. Zaten o maceranın sonunda ikisi de birbirlerine tamamen güvenir hale geldiler.
    Oyunda çok sevdiğim unutulmaz bir kaç karakter var. İlki tabii ki Freya. Kratos'un savaş esnasında dahi oğlunun kendisini öldürmesini engellemesi, önünde sonunda onun içindeki intikam ateşini söndürdü. Daha doğrusu ateşin yönünü başka yöne çevirdi. Zaten içten içe Kratos'a hak verdiğini de tahmin etmek zor değil ama evlat acısı işte.
    İkincisi Thor. Ayyaş, babasının gözüne girmeye çalışan, oğulları kendi yüzünden öldüğünden karısı ve kızı için değişmeye çalışan, bunu da pek beceremeyen birisi. Hikayesinin sonunda tam da artık dönüşmüşken, belki de prangalardan kurtulup özgürleşecekken ölmesi dramatikti.
    Sindri'nin kardeşi öldükten sonraki tutumu ve yüz ifadesi de hakikaten çok etkileyiciydi.
    Oyundaki fast travel sistemi bir süre sonra çok canımı sıktı. Tamam tek çekim bölünmesin, yolda karakterler konuşsun her şey daha iyi anlaşılsın okay de yoruyor yani.
    Epik savaşlar güzeldi ama azdı. Sondaki Asgard çıkartmasının atmosferi güzeldi. Yol boyunca yardım ettiklerimizin sonda yardıma koşmasını hep sevmişimdir.
    Neticede çok sevdiğim ama keşke ilkte full ana görev gitseymişim dediğim, über şaşırtmayan ama üst düzey bir oyundu. Yılın oyunu ödülü hayırlı olsun Elden Ring'e.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I find the game mostly successful in terms of diversity and technique. I wasn't as impressed as 2018 GOW, but that's because I had very different expectations for the story. Still, it was a well-deserved change for Kratos. I think we will see him as NPC in the next game :(… Expand

    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 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.

    -Characters blurt out the answers to puzzles pretty much immediately and there is no way to turn it off.

    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.    … Expand

    More than I expected.

    After beating the 2018 game, my expectations were ok. I knew it would be a good game, but not this good. There are so many elements that make the game way superior to its predecessor.

    First, and more important in this new direction... the story. Unlike the first one, where the plot seems to be moveless, where things happen. The development of the characters is much clear and well-made. There were some moments I just couldn't hold myself 'cause they mattered to me. The relationship of Kratos with his son is no longer lonely. He grows with the world beyond and so do we. That moments really can make grown men have a "speck in the eye". The plot itself is amazing. Of course, given its dimensions, it has some holes, but at least for me, "suspension of disbelief" was enough to ignore it, since the messages were more important - and there are many. As we know what Kratos went through, his words mean a lot. The cinematics were also amazing. Truly a cinematography peace.

    Alright, about the gameplay, one of my biggest criticisms about the 2018 game... it got better. It still has its problems, since its limits perspective and movement, but the RPG just works way better here. The enemies were diverse and required different approaches. The skill tree was still kinda boring, the weapons skill itself was crazy. The side quests were way essential now, and if I didn't have to return the PS4, I could do it.

    Also, an honorable mention: props to the PS4 Slim for how grateful it deals with this game. Truly impressive (and I played the 2018 game in 4K).

    While I enjoyed God of War: Ragnarok, it isn't as good as the 2018 game. While the first game of the Norse saga had a relatable premise, even as our protagonists were travelling through different worlds and were dealing with Gods.

While the first game of the Norse saga had a relatable premise, even as our protagonists were travelling through different worlds and were dealing with Gods. Just a man trying to be a good dad after a lifetime of bloodshed, and delivering his wife's ashes to its final resting place.

    By comparison Ragnarok still has the familiar aspect of Kratos, Mimir and Atreus trying to be a family and Kratos opening his heart, and they tend to be the better parts of the narrative, now there's also all this other stuff. The nature of war and if there is such a thing as a right side, struggling against prophecy, Atreus becoming a man and trying to be more independent. They are interesting ideas...but they're not given enough focus to be really interesting.

    The end result for the story is that, while there are some gut punches and twists that really got me, a lot of Ragnarok feels a bit like a slog while simultaneously feeling inconsistent in its writing. Sections where you play as Atreus especially sometimes feel like an entirely different game with how quippy the dialogue is.

    Gameplay-wise, things haven't changed a whole lot. The biggest addition is probably the sections where you play as Atreus as mentioned above and while he does have a fighting style unique to himself, I must admit that I usually couldn't wait to go back to Kratos.

    I also can't remember if your NPC helpers were quite this annoying back in God of War 2018, but shouting unhelpful advice in combat and immediately giving solutions to (admittedly easy) puzzles was quite frustrating. Maybe there was a way to turn that off somewhere in the accessibility options, but if so I couldn't find it.

    Furthermore playing the game on the PS4 PRO was fine, I had some moments were the audio wasn't synching with the character models' lip flaps as well as some moments were loading times were long. But it wasn't a disaster like it was with trying to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it.

    Overal, the game is good but not great. It honestly feels like we should've had another game were we focused on making allies, building armies and all that and have the actual focus of "Ragnarok" be on starting said event and assaulting Asgard. Like what happened with the original Greek games, though I guess those focused more on keeping the momentum and spectacle going while the Norse games are a bit slower.

    I'd give the game a 7 out of 10. Give the game a shot if it is on sale or something and you really liked the 2018 game.    … Expand

    Let me start by saying this was a GREAT Game. God of War (2018) is one of my favorite games of all time. Ragnarok was a great game, but not the masterpiece that 2018 was.

    The story in this game was strange. It was overly long and drawn out in some sections, while being too slight and shallow in others. Characters and backstories were introduced and expanded, and then never re-visited. This game was not directed by Cory Barlog, and it seems to be missing his finer touch. I have finished the campaign and yes the game is longer than 2018, but since the storytelling was a bit uneven it also feels "shorter" or "lighter" than the first game.
    My biggest gripe about this game is how certain story elements from the first game are completely changed or ignored in the name of "setting your own destiny" in the second one. This is an interesting idea, but knowing that certain story parts of 2018 are ignored in Ragnarok makes the big reveals in 2018 lose their power. It deflates the story of the first game because the big moments don't actually carry into Ragnarok the way you thought they would. This feels lazy to me and gives the impression that the writers wrote themselves into a corner and could not get out of it. Again, I wonder how much Barlog's lack of direction played a role here. This game felt much less like a labor of love and more like a video game.

    The level design was also strange. Yes they were visually breathtaking. No argument here! Wonderful! However, they felt very linear. Very constructed. Each level is a series of separate rooms that require you to slide through cracks in the wall that mask loading times. This disrupts your traversal and makes it constantly feel like a video game. Again, missing Barlog's love of the series makes Ragnarok feel more like a video game and less like a wonderful story.
    I found myself getting turned around or lost several times throughout this campaign. This can of course be linked to my incompetence, but I never remember this happening during 2018. There were also puzzles to solve and chests to open that required tricks I never would have figured out if I hadn't gone to YouTube. I never had to do this in 2018. There is a line between "engaging to figure out" and "cannot be figured out" that 2018 walked so well. This game unfortunately misses that line at times.

    The level-up process was also very strange. The load-out menu has been completely changed. It is annoying and cumbersome. I often found myself accidentally closing out the menu when I was just trying to go back one section. Relics and runes are hard to understand because you can only use a few at a time rather than spread them out across your armor. The load-out menu also looks cramped and poorly designed. Armor does not show all its stats on one screen, you have to scroll and then it reorganizes the armor based on strength. It is very annoying and hard to understand. Minor, but certain words in the menu are abbreviated rather than spelled out. This takes you out of the game experience. And what if new played don't know what the abbreviations stand for?    … Expand

    Fights like Jormungadr vs Thor we didn't even get to see anything, so incredibly underwhelming...

    All that aside this is still a good game to play, just don't get your hopes up from big names and popular cultural references such as a Ragnarok, this game lore wise leaves much to crave for and none of the main bosses are all that challenging even though they look pretty good animation wise.

And, frankly, some of the slower narrative sequences, where you just follow path for hours while listening to story reveals, are plain boring. Yes, I got bored in a Naughty Dog game, and not just once.
    On top of that there is way too much of the 'save the environment and free endangered species', and 'war is bad' -stuff in the game. Morality sermons, you know. Way too much. I mean let us have some fun now and then, please!
    And finally, the game borrows heavily from other sources; the prophet girl is way too similar to Luna Lovegood, and Atreus way too similar to Link in Twilight Princess (once you see the wolf stuff, you understand..). So it feels least original of ND games.
    So, while the game is polished and impressive to look at, even on last gen consoles, these irritating things do lower the score to 7 on my books. If it had been more adult and intelligent, and less preachy, it would have received 10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's basically a 70$ DLC for 2018's God of War, BUT:

    It's lame this time. Action and graphics are good, but that's it. No more havoc wreaking and feeling badass.

    Kratos feels like a side character in his own game, dialogue is boring and waaaaaaaay too long, in general everything feels out of place and waaaaaay too long. I don't think anyone asked for hours! of gameplay as Atreus with stupid chilidish dialogues and playing with animals.

    Bytheway, it's called RAGNAROK. NOT MAMA AFRICA. (no offence Africa). If you wanted tropical jungle and colorful characters go play Horizon (which is much beter than this joke).    … Expand

    This seems like the result of taking an uninspired design and adding unlimited budget. You get something that is simultaneously so polished and yet so bland. I've never seen anything like it.

You get something that is simultaneously so polished and yet so bland. I've never seen anything like it.

    The story is...great overall but boring the majority of the time. There's a compelling cut scene where the main character is questioning whether his responsibilities as a father will take him back to an identity he wished to leave behind, then 5 minutes later your sidekick is shouting at you that they found the magical macguffin of "Take Us To The Next Level." It felt like the needs of the story and the needs of the game were pushing and pulling on each other, fighting for dominance.

    The combat feels worse to control and less inspired in a post-Sekiro world. The game confidently ramps the difficulty up as if it has the tightness of a top tier action game and yet it doesn't. Baffling flaws persist from GoW 2018. You don't regenerate health between battles but dying heals you to full with generous checkpoints. This resulted in me dying in 1 hit at the beginning of most encounters and then starting with full health and winning on my next attempt only to rinse and repeat the next encounter. So basically I get a free loading screen at the beginning of every encounter. Yay!

    The combat feels sloppy four years later. Hitboxes and staggering feel inconsistent, and the intricacies of the rpg mechanics are both poorly explained and essential to your success at middle difficulties. The camera is too close to you and that makes it hard to get a read on the battles. You also have little control over the direction you attack with melee attacks being locked into where you're pointing with the right stick. This makes it difficult to address foes who surround you. It feels like you have more weapons than you need. They don't seem to occupy a unique niche and they're repetitive and unsatisfying to use. It's pretty much the same combat as 2018 with more breadth but few improvements to core design.

    The interface is awful(ly pretty). The map looks like a work of art and yet is largely unintuitive to read. The compass is a disaster. All your upgrade options are scattered willy nilly across separate tabs like someone sprayed a deck of cards across a table. And it all looks and feels immaculate like they paid a million dollars for every one of those bewildering screens.

    The gameplay mostly consists of "find the thingy" where you look around these stunning environments where you can't really interact with stuff. You do non-puzzles (aka "nuzzles") where the solution is immediately clear 95% of the time. The fights are repetitive slogs with the same bombastic moves with crazy eye popping animations. I couldn't wait til the next cutscene where I could stop dealing with the chores. It's all busy work in a massive and jaw-droppingly beautiful world of blandness.

    That's what's so weird about it. You can feel the money coming off the screen when you play. The acting, direction, sound, animation, it all feels like Benjamins wafting across your skin. But it feels so joyless and sometimes downright frustrating in its mediocrity. It's all the same problems with 2018 after 4 years and you know they had the money to do something about it. I guess I can't deny that a beautiful pig is still better than an ugly pig, but I was left wondering why they didn't use that money to address obvious issues from four years ago.    … Expand

    This game is horrible, horrible! The beginning is actually great, but after 15 hours it becomes extremely repetitive and boring.

    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.
