    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to I even begin? From the first 10 minutes beginning with being chased by Freya, to then Fenrir passing away mixed with the emotional music. I cried many times whilst playing during cutscenes. I also want to say this game is gorgeous to look at, from the beginning being in Midgard, to the rest of the realms you get to travel to. Seeing the dynamic between Kratos and Atreus becoming even stronger. Watching Atreus come into his own character and also is playable with his own move-set which is super satisfying to use. The core of this game for me is the story and the characters, which I believe this game pulls off flawlessly. You will lose hours playing this epic adventure, I have so many side missions to complete as of writing this review which will add even more hours to my already lengthy playthrough. Now to spoilers, Tyr being Odin actually took me by surprise because when he stabbed Brok, I audibly screamed because I really cared about him. Then seeing Sindri's reaction later on, from being a germ-free, lovable dwarf, to a vengeful dwarf filled to the brim with anger and hate. I felt that, he lost his only family, and he has nothing else now. Also taking out Heimdall was such a joy, that I would do it over and over again in a more brutal fashion. This game finishes the Norse Mythology of God Of War exceptionally well, I highly recommend this game. This is my game of the decade, I have never been this immersed in a world as beautiful and as packed with content as this. Please buy this!… Expand

    Pretty disappointed by the plot in several points, most of all about Giants (giants in the marbles guys? Seriously?!) and Ragnarok's very last part (boss fights with Thor and Odin are great, but plot wise I didn't like the twist). All in all an outstanding game anyway    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game, amazing story. It's sad to see Brok die but at least he had a really nice farewell. Love the character depth and character progression. They did the story/tragedy of Thor and his family being used by Odin. Beautiful environment on every realm. Did not expect Tyr to be Odin that was a nice plot twist. The actual Ragnarök event was a little lack luster but I loved the story and fights in it, being level 9 facing level 6 enemies gave me a real power trip. I love the father son dynamic between Atreus and Kratos. It's really heart wrenching at times, pretty funny at times (mainly Mimir 10/10 character btw). I genuinely think this game is phenomenal. I don't think it's a masterpiece cause of a few flaws in pacing, and how glanced over the actual Ragnarök event seems, but that might've just been my fault for not really looking at what was going on. in conclusion, if you liked 2018 you'll love this game, it improves upon 2018 in such amazing ways it's actually surprising how well they made it feel the same but different as well.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving 10/10 for compensating review bombing, but it would be a 9,4. God of war Ragnarok perfects all the cons of the 2018 game (mostly thanks to the variety of enemies and bosses), it has a mature, emotional and high-sounding plot full of twists. The combat system is more balanced (maybe Leviathan Axe needs a little nerf) and variegated than the previous one. The equipment choice is extremely good (maybe two or three more armors would be appreciated, but no shortage is felt), builds can be very different and creative. Draupnir spear is an incredible addition which adds variety and speed to gameplay, it has an huge combo possibility wich made me love it. The rythm of storytelling is incredible, with sensational and frequents bossfights. The satisfaction given by exploration is huge and the curiosity to discover new areas of the game is constant, because the game has a lot of beautiful side quests and secondary content. The characters characterization and acting are two of the finest in the industry.
    One thing that I didn't like is the scenic rendering of Ragnarok war: too speedy and too little heavy (emotionally). The contribute of Surtr (Ragnarok) in the battle is minimal and hard to notice. But these two bad things are immediately balanced by two incredible bossfights (Thor and Odin).
    I loved this game and I hope all of you can play it and catch the same emotions that I caught.

God Of War Ragnarok never fails when it comes to giving you an epic experience.It continues to do what its predecessor (God Of War 2018) did and even better with all new characters to see, new moves to discover, new weapon and tools to use, new way of movement, new cold twist to the environment and overal and amazing way to continue the story of Kratos and Artreus along with some good old friends. The story was a roller coaster ride of emotions from feeling the rage of Kratos to the sorrow he contains.He showed that he'll always be there for his son no matter what and will do what is necessary to protect him. This games ends off the story arc of Kratos in the Norse methology in the best way ever… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. Takes everything that was great from GoW 2018 and fixed the few issues the last game had. The story is, without a doubt, one of the most moving and emotional stories ever told in gaming. And the score is the best in gaming, hands down. Just an absolute masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely great continuation of the previous God of War. I know that some people are mad that it is not like the first games - but since 2018 it was something else.
    The mechanic is not much different from the 2018 game so I won't focus on that although I just want to say that it doesn't need any bee mechanics ad the previous ones were good, and the continuation carries them well.
    This time we can visit every world that lies between branches of Yggdrasil, even if only briefly, even if there aren't many points on the map that we can visit or have a reason to return later to - like Helheim or Jotunheim. Nevertheless, every world is different and unique in some way lush tropical Vanaheim with ruins of Vanir homes, rocky but colorful Svartalfheim with untrustful Dwarves, and a deep mine.
    The utilization of nordic myths is astounding - we find Draupnir, Fenrir, wolves that chase the moon and sun - Hati and Sköll, and many, many more. Characters we meet are too remarkable - from well-known like Freya, The Huldr Brothers, or Mimir to ribald Thor and his daughter Thúrd, stern but soft Sif, or absolute a-hole Heimdall (most satisfying fight in the game!)
    Even Angrboda and her meeting with Atreus. I know some might say that their meeting and the whole relationship is cheesy and cringe but hey, THE BOY is growing up and he does have his own story. It's not anymore the tale of the god who craves revenge. Both Kratos and Atreus are learning to trust each other, with an emphasis on the Father. Despite his wish to protect the last thing Kratos has left after Faye, he softens and grows to be a caring parent - but not overly caring, the end letting his son to chose his own path, while he learns to trust others.
    It's a tale of grief, forgiveness, overcoming the past, learning trust, and creating bonds stronger than anything while facing fate and the end of the world.    … Expand

Yo creo que en si el juego es mejor que su predecesor, mejora mecánicas y también logra tener un apartado visual increíble, es muy recomendable. Solamente me queda decir que vale la pena. La lanza de draupnir equilibra el combate. Por último pienso que si podría haber sido mejor el como se lleva el final, quizás haber hecho otro final para Thor, o cambiar las mecánicas de pelea de Odín, también cambiar el escenario de combate ya que es el mismo que el de Thor.… Expand

    Although it did everything right from the first game and then more so, there were still some flaws that put the game a bit behind in my opinion.

Mainly the pacing feels quite off, where some points in the game could have had way more time spent with them and less important points could have had way less time. People complain about the amount of cutscenes which is pretty funny, considering the game really has these cutscenes as rewards and it's not even that many, I think most of us were just killing stuff and leveling up our character just to see what happens next and it was really hard to do all of the side quest before doing the main story because I wanted to know what happened. I think the moral messages the story provides were phenomenal and it sucks people aren't really going to spend the time to understand them. The story was a bit messy and unfocused and the puzzle assistance was annoying, there was also a lot of unanswered questions we still have by the time the game was over with so much setup I felt like there could have been a bit more to it, but besides that the game is perfect in every other way, the characters are memorable and the voice acting is outstanding.    … Expand

    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.
