    GoW 2018 is a masterpiece, while GoW Ragnarok is a game. If the writing and the acting were not so great, this game would have been a 2 or 3.

    Edit: The great story can't save the game. In every boss fight that involves more than one boss, I'm fighting the camera more than the actual bosses. GOW franchise is ruined for me. It should be 0, but I'll give it a 2. 1. I don't why, but the    GoW 2018 is a masterpiece, while GoW Ragnarok is a game.

    1. I don't why, but the developers insist on enemies surrounding you all the time. Even if you run to a spot to face them at a perfect angle, the enemies will find their way to go to your other sides, and this is not the case for Gow2018. Making things worse, they butchered quick turn, you can press D-Down to quick turn ONLY when you are blocking, which MAKES ABSOLUTELY **** NO SENSE.
    2. Parry was satisfying in 2018, but not here, it's weak as hell. Enemies seem harder to stagger.
    3. If you want the witch time? Well they **** bind it to one set of armor and the time is reduced. They nerfed the combat in every **** possible way.
    4. Almost forgot to mention that they hard-nerfed the rune attacks, they are laughably bad now, not worth abusing anymore. Just pick the ones with the shortest cooldown, at least you can stagger mobs. For damage? Don't even bother.
    5. Do you remember the developers boasting about their "evolution" by which they mean you can cancel any attacks in GOW2018, even the rune attacks? Well well, guess who walked that back? You can't anymore.    … Expand

    Incredible story, best graphics but technically the worst game I have played in the last 10 years. Unbelievable that this game was published so unfinished. For example some of the most errors that annoying me:

    - Until now I'm collecting eight Chaos Flames but I could use only four of them. So my Chaos Blades are on Level 4 and I can't upgrade the Chaos Blades to the actually maximum.
    - Two of the berserkers I can't beat because I can't hit them with any weapon. There is no damage and they kill me insteadly. So I can't get to King Hrolf and get this trophy.
    - I have collected all the 48 ravens but the message when I want to open the last chest is: You have to collect 45 ravens to open this chest. So I can't open the last chest and I don't know what happens then

    I could discribe many errors more in this game, but the named ones are the baddest.

    I was so excited to play this game on PS5 because part 4 was incredible good. But this part has disappointed me so hard. It is unplayable for me and I have unstall it now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The other half of the story, repetitive, open world fatigue, shallow story, technically a last gen (PS4) game.

    That's how I would describe it in as few words as possible. If you liked it and disagree, well good for you, but you may want to read further what a good and entertaining game with a greek god in norse mythology could have been like.

    So, God of War 2018 was good, why rate this as a failure? It's the same game with the other half of the story, isn't it? Correct! Why do I have to go through all the grinding again? What does it add to the story? Why should I play it?

    Here is my point of view: God of War 2018 and God of War Ragnarok as a Playstation 4 game in 2018 till 2022 with 20 hours of action packed core playtime? _Fantastic game!_ Not the most inventive of revolutionary one, and I would accept mid 2010's graphics in 2022. Graphics have gotten so detailed and rendering so technically flexible that it is fine to play older games while not feeling to be thrown back to the stone ages. But that never really mattered for games with good story telling either did it? Correct again! While I was excited about the 2018 game and its open world, times have changed, personally, but also looking back at similar games, they are just chores. If you don't want to make a career on gaming and you are just looking for good entertainment, well the industry does not care about you it seems. And that is disappointing. Do I want to play 50 or more open world games with all their chores and little sprinkles of story or do I want to have a successful life and career and and peace of mind about my pension and that I was an active part of society?

    Hey, I play Fortnite without audio, which is grinding, which can be somewhat competitive and fun while being very much repetitive, but I can also listen to news while playing it (ha!). God of War 2018 was lengthy, much babbling, much grinding, shallow open world mechanics like you have seen in other games where you have to run circles because you can't access them now, and also aspects you forgot about the 2018 game so you are even more running around in circles. repetitive ad nausea! 20 hours of main story well executed, beautifully explained in consumable sized chunks with 80 to 200 hours of game play in ONE game where you could switch between the state of the world in 2018 and 2022? GREAT! Other games can pull it off (to some degree). And also, please, a bit of breath in the action packed scenes. some characters where apparently there during Ragnarok but the "camera" and everything else was shaking so much that I didn't see anything and I felt that I missed something important. But that's a problem of a game, of game designers and story telling or explaining that there is not enough focus on what is important.

    Please get rid of skill trees in action games. Filling out an excel sheet in between missions is not immersion!

    I love games and story telling, I loved some parts of this game, but it was so stretched thin that I think it wasn't worth the time I invested. And that is bad. But too many people and journalists seem to be fine with how things are and that's that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm left with an overall deflated feeling of disappointment after so much anticipation and love for the franchise. Compared with the 2018 masterpiece, Ragnarok certainly underdelivers in many ways, with my biggest frustration in the confused plot lines, unanswered questions, rushed climax and poor storytelling.

    I thought the introduction of Angboder would have more of a significant impact to the story. I thought the giants entrapped in marbles would be pivotal to Ragnarok glory. Where was Fenrir in the war? What was the point of focussing so much of the game around the mask only for it to be a throw away? I thought changing the prophesies was weak and that Kratos should have been killed by Heimdoll (maybe returning as a Valkyrie sent from Odin). I really felt annoyed with that fact that peace was not made with Sindri, and losing this comedy from the game was very damaging to the overall feeling for the player. Atreus morphing into bears and wolves were so underutilized and even weren't used at all in the final battles. Why did Faye betray her people? Is it Loki or Atreus?

    The game tried to do too much, diluting down what was important.    … Expand

    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!

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

    You feel like a toddler getting constantly told what to do without the actual freedom nor the capacity to do anything you dare to expect, in a world that is oscillating between the bad fever dream of an immature fan of vikings and a B-movie fantasizing of getting an Oscar.

    > Movements are cumbersome, like driving a supertanker in a narrow corridor with a torticollis.

    > RPG elements are infuriating: you keep smashing ginormous treasure troves only to pick up a sad little sack of coins or a puny horn you're hesitating to decide where it should go in your body. When using multiple of them you feel better. I don't want to analyze this further.

    > The camera in combats insists on showing you the marvels of the cardboard decorations carefully crafted by the hundreds of artists the studio hired, all the while some generic variation of an enemy is hammering you joyously from behind.

    > The locking system is such a joke you might think you'd get better results if you asked your grandma to count jumping fleas. Oh it's there, ah no wait it jumped, I lost it. Too bad for you I guess, you've just sent your carefully built turbo-attack on a rock than doesn't even budge a millimeter.

    > There are puzzles and mysteries to solve. The only problem is that every single damn talking NPC around you insists to spoil you within the 5 seconds it takes to realize you're in front of a puzzle. Either this or you don't have the tool to solve this and you will have to navigate that whole entire level once again when you get finally get it - provided you remember where these puzzles are since the map is as useless as napkin with random signs scribbled it.

    > Apparently there's a story. Sure. Everyone had children with everyone, now the kids are becoming annoying and particularly Atreus, so everyone is cranky. Kratos being alone again is particularly in a bad mood, since he can't enjoy relaxing with Venus like he did before to forget he massacred his whole family, and has instead to travel half-naked in the snow with bears and bearded idiots to have his silly son finally shut up.

    And some people dare to compare this overproduced boomer game to a monument like Elden Ring? Not that Elden Ring does everything right far from it, but it's still comparing a vacation vlog to a Martin Scorsese movie.

    As always, your mileage may vary. Some may like it. If you're a retrogamer with bad glasses and memory for instance.

    I gave it a 3 because of the mysophobiac dwarf, but that's the only creative thing in this game.    … Expand

Antes de la nueva partida plus merece un 9, lo jugué como 10 veces seguidas, y disfrutsbs con los jefes finales. Sin embargo en la nueva partida + mi valoración es un -9, ya q de nada te sirve llevar las armaduras y armas al nivel 10, me fui a por la reina gna, a la que vencia fácilmente y mis armas solo le hacían caricias y mis armaduras no me daban protección, intente probar con un jefe berseker en que Luchas contra 3 a la vez, y lo mismo. No me dieron problemas en la versión primera, pero en la nueva partida + son invencibles y kratos muy muy débil. He desinstalado el juego, y es el último título de la saga que comprare ( he jugado todos en playststion, y hasta la versión 2028 - la mejor en pc tambien). No me gusta el enfoque de la nueva partida plus en ragnsrok, pues en la versión 2018 notabas más facilidad para derrotar a las valkirias con las armaduras +, ahora el personaje kratos vuelve muy miy débil en el nivel 10 y los jefes como la reina gna y el rey berseker suyos solo para jugadores profesionales.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll try my best to not use spoilers for this review

    This game broke me, it had everything to be the best God of war ever, but the developers couldn’t use the great potential this game had… It feels like Cory couldn’t finish what he started, so he gave the job to someone that had different ideas for the story and he made it the worst way as possible in almost everything in story and gameplay. What makes the story a disaster is that the writers and Cory had the stupid idea to make it a 2x1 game, so the narrative feels rushed after the first two hours of the game, also the fact that many characters don’t feel well written at all (Atreus tries to look clever, but every decision he makes is none sense, Freyr is literally a MCU character with unfunny jokes, Odin had a pointless item and Thor is “justified” for being a serial killer and a terrible father as it was said in the last game) and that there’s no clear objective since the beginning, it’s a very complex and anticlimactic story. The gameplay (which should be the most important part of the GAME) has two things that make it good, which are the combat system that’s very enjoyable and most of the enemies and bosses you fight, but the rest of the things have zero innovation, which makes the DLC argument still valid. I think that the biggest flaw about the gameplay is that Santa Monica focused a lot on the story, so you’ll have too many long cutscenes and walking simulators… I won’t talk that much about the soundtrack and artistic direction because they aren’t the main focus, but if I had to say something about it, both are gorgeous (mostly the soundtrack)!    … Expand

    God of War Ragnarok: A Disappointing Sequel

    The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War game has finally arrived, and unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. While the game boasts impressive graphics and an epic story, its lackluster gameplay and repetitive combat mechanics make it a frustrating experience for players.

    One of the major issues with God of War Ragnarok is its pacing. The game takes far too long to get going, and the slow buildup of the story and character development feels tedious. When the action finally picks up, it's often interrupted by lengthy cutscenes that detract from the immersion.

    The combat system, while flashy, lacks depth and variety. Players are often forced to rely on the same few moves and button combinations to dispatch enemies, leading to a repetitive and dull experience. Additionally, the game's difficulty spikes are inconsistent and can be frustratingly unfair.

    Another issue is the lack of innovation in the game. While God of War Ragnarok introduces some new mechanics, such as exploration and puzzle-solving elements, they feel tacked-on and underdeveloped. The game also fails to address some of the criticisms of its predecessor, such as the lack of boss variety and a meaningful progression system.

    Overall, God of War Ragnarok is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to its predecessor. While it has some redeeming qualities, such as its stunning visuals and epic story, its lackluster gameplay and underdeveloped mechanics make it a lackluster experience for fans of the series.    … Expand

    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.

    God of War Ragnarok: A Misstep in Midgard - 0/10

"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.

    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

    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.

    Bigger is Not Always Better
    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. God of War 2018 was art. This game was not art.
    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.    Bigger is Not Always Better
    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. God of War 2018 was art. This game was not art.

    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

    Basura infecta a la que nos tiene acostumbrados Sony últimamente. Indigno de los juegos originales. Nieblas por todas partes y muchos pasillos para tiempos de carga. Y encima de que no se puede matar a Atreus resulta que hay que controlarle.

    Nice graphics, but worst game in the series, full of woke sh*t and ridiculous storyline, cartoonish characters, forced drama and cliches... Thor is not the same badass character from 2018 game, Valkyries and Berserkers are ways harder than main bosses...

    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

    a very unbalanced game on medium difficulty, which spoils all the impressions of this game, giving additional weapons after passing more than half of the game is a losing decision, so that because of it, then return to the location again to open the Norn boxes

    This is a clunky action game where common enemies are threatening damage sponges for you, the god of war. Compared to the previous God of War games this is a step up in graphics and polish, but a huge step back in gameplay and story. I returned it to the library after several hours.

    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.

    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.
