The story is well written and there is so much character development. Even the side characters get new facets as you learn new things about them. Also the new characters fit excellently into the game. Gameplay wise they also improved. It is familiar but with refreshing additions. The exploration is like the Metroidvania games. 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

    The game looks stunning on PS4 Slim,no bugs and freezzes at all. Santa Monica did incredible job. Ragnarok feels a little bit better in every way compared to the glorious GOW 2018

    A masterpiece that surpasses its predecessor. "Ragnarok" is arguably the best action game on the PS4. The story is great, the combat is terrific and the graphics are unmatched.

There are various secrets, hiding places and hidden opponents at every step. By the way, the combat system has become much more responsive than in the 2018 game. A stunning plot, a deeper disclosure of all the characters and their backstories. I can't even imagine how the story of Kratos and Atreus will end. An absolute masterpiece.

I disagree with those who say that this is a DLC for GoW 2018. Happy ending with a drop of bitterness, both about Brock and about Atreus leaving for his adventures. P.S. played on PS4 encountered one bug in Alfheim (there was no access to the legendary chest, the crystal did not move with the help of blades of Chaos) and one crash. Technically, the PS4 game is well polished. Looking forward to NG+… Expand

    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.

    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.
