Depois de tantos jogos, a história ainda continua interessante, o único ponto negativo é que God of War elevou tanto o nível dos inimigos que todo final teria que ser épico, o que não acontece aqui, de um ponto de vista narrativo faz sentido, é uma puta evolução de personagens, só que para quem espera algo semelhante aos clássicos e até mesmo o de 2018 não é esse o caso. Mais no geral eu gostei, teve algumas mudanças e aprimoramentos em relação ao de 2018 que foram legais, muito provavelmente a gameplay dos próximos terão um punch maior tanto na história quanto na gameplay, o que infelizmente não deve chegar a antiga geração. Ansioso para a continuação ou um remake dos clássicos. Eu platinei o jogo.… Expand

    The game is legendary, the best game in the year 2022, and it evolved from its previous game, God of War (2018), as a story, characters, dialogues, graphics, frames, and gameplay. It is a perfect score, but there is some repetition, and the skills are not diverse, but three moves and four new moves. Rating: 9

    Un chef d'oeuvre époustouflant

    Non, ce n'est pas un God Of War 1.5. Une toute nouvelle aventure narrative au coeur d'un père et d'un fils en quête de sa vérité. Atrius pour les plus proches et Loky pour son cheminement personnel. Une production digne d'une autre suite épique. Jratos, Atrius et Mimir vivront des chamboulements importants vis à vis le Ragnarok. Des personnages sans détour    Un chef d'oeuvre époustouflant

    Non, ce n'est pas un God Of War 1.5. Une toute nouvelle aventure narrative au coeur d'un père et d'un fils en quête de sa vérité. Atrius pour les plus proches et Loky pour son cheminement personnel. Une production digne d'une autre suite épique. Jratos, Atrius et Mimir vivront des chamboulements importants vis à vis le Ragnarok.

    Des personnages sans détour que l'on aimera et d'autres, que l'on detestera. Comme quoi le scénario était mise en oeuvre par les acteurs est une réussite majeure.

    Les animations sont au coeur d'une réussite flamboyante. Les armes, la manipulation de ceux-ci et Permet de structurer soigneusement ses statistiques selon le rendement choisi. Des créatures mythiques aux ennemis redoutables, les combats sont vifs et nerveux. De nouveaux personnages rejoindront l'histoire. En somme, la beauté des royaumes ne laissèrent personne indifférent. God of War Ragnarok n'est pas une suite 1.5 et l'histoire ne permet pas de s'attendre à chaque tournure d'événements. Dommage que le titre ait été vendu par des personnes sans respects pour les joueurs et pour l'entreprise Danata Monica. C'est une honte à ceux et celles qui ont publié sur les médias sociaux le contenu de ce titre avant sa sortie le 9 novembre 2022.

    J'ai au compteur près de 70 heures pour platine le titre. Veuillez noter que la particularité d de ce titre permet de modifier la difficulté du jeu en tout temps. Une nouveauté pouvant être utilse aux nouveaux explorateurs des neufs royaumes.

    Félicitations pour les nombreux awards reçu pour Santa Monica. Bravo à votre équipe, une expérience sans équivoque au delà des attentes après celui de 2018. Bravo!!!    … Expand

    Changing my review. Before i stated that it's the exact same game. Boy was i wrong! What an incredible journey it has been. I have never in my life encountered such an amazing story. No movie, book or any other video game comes close to the story of God of War. This is simply amazing and i cannot express it in words. The only way you can understand is to play this masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most well written stories in games. Kratos after years of rage and fighting, had finally been able to settle down, with a wife who guided him through his pain and regrets. Now, Kratos has to go to war again, and worst of all, see his son go through it. He fears that Atreus will go down the same path as his, and it is amazing to see their journey.
    The gameplay is a really great improvement, it feels more responsive and faster, parrying is really fun, and all the weapons complement each other amazingly well (sometimes in game development, less is more, so 1 new perfect weapon is way better than a dozen mediore ones). Admitedly, the fights thoughout the story are not that challenging, even less so if you are exploring as much as possible. You can get to Odin with so much great gear that he becomes really easy on the normal difficulty (which I believe to be fair, if you are playing on normal and prepare more than avarage, then you should have an easier time). However, there are many fun challenges in the game, the valkyries are gone, but there are Berserkers that have really cool fights.
    I think this is really one of the best experiences on games right now.    … Expand

    For the story, no spoilers, everything that was left a question in the prior game are all answered and engaging to see what happens next. The pacing was good better than the first game. Everything makes sense as you progress through the story not many plot holes.

    The game did not force me to do any side missions. I strictly did the main story, and was capable of finishing it. I still progressed becoming a stronger Kratos at the end.

    Emotions in the story had a solid foundation each chapter was building up to an important scene or scenes in each characters personal development. Everyone had a different path.

    Lastly, enemy variety was one of the strengths of this great game. Each realm had its own unique enemy variety boss types. It felt fresh every time, and sometimes it was challenging. I played on, give me balance difficulty mode.

    All in all, fantastic game the characters had so much depth to them. Each character had their own unique ability throughout the story. It made me so happy and smiled. At times you can tell the developers really put a lot of time and effort and hard work into this project. Good job Santa Monica studios.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game, although I do prefer the 2018 game, this game is amazing as well. My gripes with it are that "Give Me God Of War" difficulty is not at all that difficult and Kratos stops saying "Boy!" which was a major selling point for me from the original. I don't think that the sections where you control Atreus are all that good and somewhat tedious, the rest of the game is great. Another issue however is that the Drauger boss fights are very underwhelming and just easy. Another personal preference is that you have Freya join you after finishing the game, it would've been much better with Atreus. I recommend that you listen when Atreus says we should go treasure hunting because otherwise it will have to be done with Freya… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly an incredible game. In my opinion a no-brainer for game of the year. The Thor fight at the beginning, Brok's blessing on the Draupnir Spear, and the twist with Tyr all blew me away. Critics of the game mostly harp on the repetitive combat and lack of game, which frankly I don't understand. The story is well-mingled with the gameplay, not giving too much of either at any given time. The combat improves on 2018's masterpiece with greater variety of monsters and a plethora of upgrades to adapt playstyle to. A+ performances from the entire cast; I'm looking forward to Christopher Judge's next role. My only complaint with the game is the slow sections. Lots of walking and talking, even if the talking is relevant and important. 8/10, I feel blessed to have played two games as good as this and Elden Ring this year.… Expand

Characters also speak "weird", this is especially noticiable with Odin, you probably read about this in other reviews.

    When it comes to gameplay, there are also some problems; camera is still a problem when fighting multiple enemies, and the game wont just SHUT UP, every time you spend more than 3 seconds trying to figure out a boss or a puzzle, your AI partners will start giving you hints, and they wont stop, and in some cases, they will give you these hints in a "funny" manner, and hearing "jokes" when you are in the middle of a boss fight...it gets annoying, really annoying.

    Why give it a 9/10 with all these problems, then? because what this game does good, it does it REALLY good.

    Also, I played the entire game on a base PS4, and while I'm sure the game running at 60fps and 4K on a PS5 is a better experience, the game still runs and looks amazing at 30fps and 1080p...no slowdowns or bugs, even on day one.    … Expand

    SIIIUUUUUUU, el mejor juego que he jugado este año, todo lo que faltaba (argumentalmente hablando) en el primero aquí nos lo entregan, se nota mucho el cambio de director y para bien, que buenas cinemáticas, los mundos son increíbles y los bosses están que te cagas.

    Absolutely excellent. I can't fight. Give it a 10 for some small stuff. I think the game could have been a little bit more if they would have not released it on the ps4, but I do understand why they did.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A worthy successor... with some missteps. Ragnarok improves on what was arguably the only significant flaw in the previous game - monster variety, especially mini bosses. It also improved on exploration - the world is now fully backtrackable (at least where collectibles are concerned so you can't miss anything). It's not grindy at all as some people say, maybe if you wanna try different builds so you want to upgrade the gear for it but not really to just 100% it. Game is fun and challenging albeit very easy to platinum (played on Give Me No Mercy). Companions are also more involved in the fights which is nice. Draupnir spear was a cool addition to Kratos' arsenal. But...

    Now for the negatives - I dunno why developers tend to put this in their games lately but it really grinds my gears - the voice line clues! (from your companions in this game). Like why? I get into a new puzzle area and companions starts spitting out clues before I can even have a proper look around. Annoying.
    Some collectibles were made very easy to spot (ravens and treasure maps locations).
    Few bugs mostly just companion getting stuck on a piece of environment when prompt to interact with a quest item. One bigger bug was when Freya just stopped doing anything when fighting Gná.
    What was probably the biggest letdown of this game was the final mission. It was a war against the whole Asgard and it felt just like any other mission. Most of the war stuff happened in the background if at all. Odin and Thor could also be a bit more difficult to beat.

    But the absolute worst part was the involvement of real life political agendas. That's never good.    … Expand

По части открытых локаций, допконтента и геймплея весомых претензий не имею. Как не имею их и в отношении характеров персонажей, актерской игры и музыки. Больше всего минусов от меня отхватил сценарий и постановка, который и не позволил мне сравняться по впечатлениям от первой части северных похождений Кратоса. Вроде бы всё достаточно хорошо написано и отшлифовано достойной оригинала режиссурой, однако из-за разросшегося масштаба сюжета, цельность первой части несколько прохудилась и в некоторых местах дала трещину. В принципе, того требовала история и по части арки отношений Атрея и Кратоса тоже всё замечательно. Однако концовка именно Кратоса не впечатлила и оставила большой осадок от незаконченности, хотя авторы твердили, что эта часть будет последней для него в Скандинавии.

    В целом, оригинал был, конечно, более свежий и в плане постановки более креативный. Эмоций я от него получил несколько больше, однако Рагнарёк достойно его продолжает, развивая его и дополняя, но в этот раз магия для меня сработала лишь наполовину. Местами сюжет показался слишком размазанным, хотелось больше насыщенности во второй половине игры. Секция с Ангрбодой очень понравилась и не показалась затянутой, даже наоборот - её мне показалось мало в игре. Йормунганда и вовсе как-будто забыли и его схватку с одним из персов хотелось бы увидеть "поближе". Очень порадовала Фрейя и Один. Вот к ним никаких претензий нет и быть не может. Прокачали лицевую анимацию, что особенно видно по Кратосу в ключевые эмоциональные моменты.

    Ах да, вернулась жестокость и расчленёнка, что не может не радовать. И зверей в игре как-то прям очень много, что опять-таки в плюс.    … Expand

    One of the standout features of God of War Ragnarok. Building upon the successful foundation of its predecessor, the combat in Ragnarok is more fluid, diverse, and challenging.

The variety of moves, combos, and abilities available to Kratos are expanded, allowingOne of the standout features of God of War Ragnarok. Building upon the successful foundation of its predecessor, the combat in Ragnarok is more fluid, diverse, and challenging. Kratos' Leviathan Axe and Atreus' bow have been further fine-tuned, making each strike and shot feel satisfyingly impactful. The variety of moves, combos, and abilities available to Kratos are expanded, allowing players to develop their own combat style.

    Additionally, the introduction of new weapons and abilities, acquired throughout the journey, adds depth to the combat system. From powerful elemental gauntlets to devastating runic attacks, players have a broader arsenal at their disposal. This variety encourages experimentation and caters to different playstyles, making battles engaging and rewarding.

    God of War Ragnarok also introduces thrilling boss encounters, each uniquely designed and challenging in their own right. These epic battles test the player's skills and strategic thinking, requiring more than just brute force to overcome. The satisfaction of triumphing over formidable foes is unparalleled, and these moments are among the game's highlights.

    On the other hand, the narrative in God of War Ragnarok feels overcrowded and lacks the focused storytelling that made the 2018 installment so captivating. While the first game followed a simple yet powerful father-son journey, Ragnarok attempts to weave a complex tale involving various Norse gods, realms, and conflicts. As a result, the plot feels rushed, and some storylines are underdeveloped.

    The emotional depth and character development, which were the heart of the 2018 game, take a backseat in Ragnarok. The relationship between Kratos and Atreus feels somewhat neglected, as the narrative jumps from one event to another, leaving little room for meaningful interactions between the two. This lack of emotional connection diminishes the impact of pivotal moments, making them feel less significant than they should.

    Furthermore, the inclusion of multiple story arcs and side quests introduces an abundance of characters and lore, often overwhelming the player. While it's exciting to explore the vastness of Norse mythology, it comes at the cost of a tightly-knit narrative. The side quests, while adding to the game's longevity, can feel distracting and dilute the main story's focus.

    God of War (2018) was celebrated for its character-driven narrative and emotional resonance, but Ragnarok struggles to maintain the same level of depth and intimacy. The pacing suffers as a result, leaving players with little time to process events and connect with the characters on a deeper level.

    Another aspect that takes away from the narrative experience is the open-world nature of Ragnarok. While the idea of exploring the realms and discovering hidden secrets is enticing, it can feel like a departure from the linear, cinematic experience of the previous game. The world of Ragnarok is vast, and the sheer amount of content can sometimes be overwhelming, taking away from the more focused storytelling that made its predecessor memorable.

    In conclusion, God of War Ragnarok successfully refines the combat mechanics that made its predecessor a triumph. The fluidity, diversity, and challenge of the combat system elevate the gameplay to new heights, making battles exhilarating and satisfying. However, the narrative of Ragnarok feels rushed and overloaded, with too much going on compared to the simplicity and emotional depth of God of War (2018).

    The ambitious attempt to incorporate multiple story arcs and side quests in an open-world setting sacrifices the focused storytelling and character-driven experience that defined the 2018 game. While God of War Ragnarok remains an enjoyable and visually stunning experience, it falls short of capturing the same emotional resonance that its predecessor achieved with a more straightforward, powerful narrative. Nevertheless, fans of the franchise and those interested in Norse mythology will still find much to appreciate in this epic adventure.    … Expand

The first hour is a sight to behold and SSM outdoes themselves again. The chemistry between Kratos and Atreus gets even better here as the long journey of father and son continue as their inner turmoil and the interaction with father and son is truly interesting to see. The ending is truly special and a tear jerker. Everything falls into place and is a great send off for the series if they would like to finish it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s still a solid game. But I’m biased because I love the franchise. There are some very noticeable issues in this game. First and foremost is all the bugs in the launch version. I’ve never encountered any glitches in my three play throughs of 2018 but ran into so many in Ragnarok in just my initial playthrough. Some were serious enough that I had to restart checkpoint to continue. It’s just not polished enough.

    The gameplay is fun. Basically the same formula with a few tweaks. I loved it in 2018 so I’m not complaining. The new addition is really useful, but a bit overpowering? The spear basically became my main weapon in the second half of the game.

    The story overall is a good conclusion to the duology. There are issues in pacing at times. Like riding a buffalo (for an hour?) with Angrboda is kind of excessive. The important bits of conversations could have been merged into the two gameplay missions in that sequence. I understand the devs want us to know all about the giants and Angrboda. But because it was so long and boring, I started losing interests and stopped paying attention to whatever they were saying, which defeats the purpose.

    And also there are noticeable gaps in the story. Maybe something cut? Like when Kratos and Atreus decided that they would not pursue Ragnarok any more and Freya went back to Vanaheim, the next story mission was to go after her. Why did you let her go in the first place? Just felt strange.

    I like the ending plot. I think it suits the theme. But it’s underwhelming for its lack of grandeur. I know they had a change of mind and wanted to avoid more destructions and casualties. But maybe a more chaotic battlefield would make this change even more convincing?

    The best part of the game for me so far is the side quests. It’s just fun exploring and some areas are very well designed.    … Expand

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.
