    I'm a fan of God and the story of God 5 doesn't make any sense, they filled it with progressivism and we still haven't got Mjonir, everything he says is nonsense, I could do with Mjonir, Kratos could be savage but this time with wisdom and he wasn't that way game, not even half of the questions left were answered, thor and odin are boring, compare baldur's final battle with thor and odin'sI'm a fan of God and the story of God 5 doesn't make any sense, they filled it with progressivism and we still haven't got Mjonir, everything he says is nonsense, I could do with Mjonir, Kratos could be savage but this time with wisdom and he wasn't that way game, not even half of the questions left were answered, thor and odin are boring, compare baldur's final battle with thor and odin's battle, baldur's battle goes from 10 to zero, 4 scenarios where each transition is a painting we fight with thor and odin in the same scenario it's a shame.… Expand

    Nothing huge or new, game does not loo PS5 level, Dragging story and annoying dialog. Once you get into it feels like you already played this with a new skin. Way too many cutscenes.

    a general game with 25 to 30 hours of game play. in a nut shell: buy the game, play it in two days and throw it away.

    In the vast landscape of gaming, expectations loom large. Anticipation can often overshadow the product itself. "God of War Ragnarok" is a lamentable example of when such promises not only fall flat but tumble into an abyss of mediocrity.

    From its onset, the game grapples with an identity crisis. Gone is the gravitas of Kratos, replaced with a caricature of his former self. The brooding god, once a paragon of rage and redemption, now seems lost, adrift in a sea of incongruous plotlines and half-baked character arcs.

    Graphically, one would expect a sequel to leverage advancements in technology. Sadly, "Ragnarok" appears to be stuck in time. The once pristine landscapes of Midgard are marred by texture pop-ins, and character models, surprisingly, lack the attention to detail the previous installment was lauded for. Interactions with the world around you feel stilted, a far cry from the dynamic and responsive environment of its predecessor.

    Narratively, the game falters with every step. The plot is a labyrinthine mess of convoluted sub-stories, none of which seem to resonate or culminate in anything meaningful. What was once a poignant tale of father and son is now overshadowed by a cacophony of irrelevant side quests and banal dialogues.

    Combat, the series' backbone, feels sluggish and unresponsive. The visceral fluidity of the earlier game's combat system is replaced with a clunky mechanism that often feels like a chore rather than an exhilarating dance of death.

    It's truly disheartening to witness such a fall from grace. A franchise that once stood as a beacon of storytelling and gameplay innovation now stands as a cautionary tale of squandered potential.

    In conclusion, "God of War Ragnarok" is a disservice to its legacy. It's a jumbled mosaic of misplaced ambitions and underwhelming execution. One can only hope that the series finds its way back to the pantheon of gaming greats in future iterations.    … Expand

    Since Sony fanboys are crusading against Starfield being a Microsoft exclusive, enjoy your 0/10 for no reason as well.

    The overall impression of this game is really really bad.

    The story is lack luster and kratos (who is a very ugly character with an even uglier personality) son is the most annoying part of this game. The combat system is as dull as in every other hack and slay game and the puzzle sections are just pathetically easy and made for kids of age 6! Graphics are not good at all and    The overall impression of this game is really really bad.

    Graphics are not good at all and would also have run on my toasters hardware. The 30 FPS cap and drops even below that make this game unplayable.

    I don't know how biased or addicted to fentanyl people can be to rate this game higher than a 0 tbh.

    The management and the devs should be ashamed of themselves and all the studios involved should disband to make sure that less people are being harmed by their products in the future.    … Expand

    This is another lgbtq+ exclusive title which is inclusive for the entire PlayStation fanbase. Although it’s a god of war game it seems like the only thing you’re the god of is rainbows in this game. The storyline is mid at best. The gameplay is buggy as could be on PlayStation.

    Same game as 2018 with a couple little things added, your typical repetitive Sony game that follows a safe formula. Your freedom in this game is very limited kinda like Uncharted where you can only climb on yellow painted ledges because Sony thinks we are too dumb to know where to jump.

    Basically same game mechanics as the original God of War, nothing new. I don't understand the hype for this game, as it's not as fun as the first one, obviously because it's the same.

    I can't help but tip my hat to the entire Santa Monica team. The deeper you delve into the game, the more you'll be drawn into the stunning story of a father and son against the backdrop of perhaps history's most horrific war. Throw in some casually endearing humour, great and fluid gameplay, and wrap it all up with an amazing audiovisual experience. [Issue#323]

    Thanks to an amazing cast that’s doing an outstanding job, a compelling story told through the eyes of multiple characters, and top-notch combat, this epic and heartfelt journey strikes all the right chord. It’s impossible not to recommend God of War Ragnarok, but just in case you had any doubts, I strongly advise anyone mildly interested in gaming to play Santa Monica Studio’s latest masterpiece.

    It’s a satisfying conclusion to the modern God of War saga, but it’s hard to walk away and not feel like this could have been something greater.
