    The people rating this game 0-1 are just pathetic. Complaining about cutscenes in story-telling game, because all you want is to "smash monsters"? Are you serious? If you just want to bash your head mindlessly into the keyboard and not to care about the immersive plot, just go play something suitable for another 10 y.o. like you.

    Amazing and fluid combat, packed with an engaging story. I loved the seemless feel of being able to explore areas and do side quests while in pace with the main story. I loved the new combat finishers and varying enemy types and bosses to keep the experience fresh each time. Definitely a GOTY contender for sure!

    Playing God of War Ragnarok has been an unforgettable experience. A closure open to individual interpretation but definitely sublime. The cinematics offering the powerful narrative load of the story with playable sequences, the graphic level of characters and higher levels are better. Unfortunately, some haters have tried to spoil this great work, giving it low ratings (even below 80/100).Playing God of War Ragnarok has been an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately, some haters have tried to spoil this great work, giving it low ratings (even below 80/100). So at this point I would like to urge these people to relearn the craft of making reviews based on authentic professionalism, with analysis and objective comments as well as constructive suggestions about what a product like this or any other can offer. One thinks lightly, considering what the critic likes, but in this role, it is not about writing "what the critic likes or doesn't like" since by incurring in this practice, one is nothing more than a fanatic protected by a publishing firm or media outlet.

    The narrative and story telling in this game is phenomenal. Just like the first game, it really feels like you're almost playing a movie. They break up the game much better than the first with much more obvious side quest areas. The side quests themselves are worth doing just for the narrative elements alone. They are truly amazing and fulfilling pieces of content that are just as good as the main storyline. They also are almost a necessity if you are playing on the harder difficulties.

    The armor, weapon, and skill tree systems have all been expanded from the first game. There's a lot of terrific rpg elements to be found here with lots of ways to customize your builds.

    Unfortunately the combat still has some pretty massive issues, especially on the harder difficulties. It can be somewhat hard to explain because it really just comes down to the combat not "feeling quite right."

    Hit indicators are absolutely terrible. Attacks coming from 180 degrees in front of the player have no hit indicators at all. There's way too much going on the screen for a player to be able to see a fireball coming from a 90 degree angle. The VAST majority of my deaths are from due to offscreen, barely visible attacks. It also seems that even the hit indicators from behind don't always work. If your camera is slightly tiled downward, if an enemy is in the camera view, the hit indicator won't show.

    Almost every enemy has some form of super armor during certain attacks. You will often be hit in the face as you're absolutely wrecking an enemy. This can even occur during some runic attacks. This is one of the worst aspects of GOW combat. There should be very few and very specific enemies that have super armor. When you're fighting a group of 10 enemies, the last thing you want is for a random grunt to disrupt the combat chain because they decided to launch one of their random attacks that gives them super armor. This is probably much less of an issue on the easier difficulties, but if you're playing on the hardest difficulty, one hit from a grunt his likely at least half your health. The combat often doesn't feel like it "flows" well as a result.

    Which also leaves me to my next point, which is that gear upgrades on the hardest difficulties almost have no purpose. Every enemy will two shot you. This is the laziest form of difficulty scaling. Difficulty should come with better AI, more attack patterns, and smarter encounters... not just scaling the damage up 300%.

    I know that some people will say "just turn down the difficulty," and they might be right to some degree. Turning down the difficulty will probably result in the combat flowing better, but I don't think that's the actual issue at heart. Kratos should feel powerful, and he just doesn't when a random grunt ignores your attacks.

    Despites GoW shortcomings and frustration in combat, they are mostly overshadowed by its many incredible moments and overall story telling.    … Expand

    O jogo é absolutamente incrível. O combate é frenético, e esta melhor que o de 2018, A história é excelente. Os gráficos são muito bons, e seriam melhores se fosse apenas do PS5, mas, entendo a estratégia da Sony. Ainda não acabei, mas, posso dizer que esta um pouco a frente de Elden Ring (outro excelente jogo) e deve ganhar o goty. Mas, se ER ganhar não vou ficar chateado.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Não há outro termo para esse jogo que não seja "obra-prima" ou "obra de arte". Os rumos que o jogo tomou é bem interessante. Tentando ser "alguém melhor", Kratos busca evitar conflitos, mas não deixa de ser brutal quando o conflito é necessário. Ele continua destilando violência, mas agora, é pra proteger a quem ama, não mais por vingança. O Ragnarok possui muitos pontos positivos e altamente elogiáveis.

    Mas como nada é perfeito neste mundo, o jogo possui defeitos. Como disse antes, a gameplay tem uns problemas, principalmente em relação a jogar o machado "energizado", logo antes de fazer movimentos de esquiva. Isso é um tanto chato, mas não é o pior ponto do jogo.
    Minha nota só não é 10 porque o maior ponto negativo é o modo como a narrativa é feita. As trocas de controle entre Kratos e Atreus é bem chata. Isso quebra bastante o ritmo do jogo e deixa o jogo muito chato (principalmente nas partes em que o jogador controla Atreus e, mais especificamente, quando ele conhece a Agrboda). É nítido que Ragnarok bebeu muito da fonte de The Last of Us II e meio que manteve a linha de seu jogo anterior (uma morte no começo, uma jornada, dois pontos de vista (claro que não é a mesma coisa, já que em The Last of Us, são lados opostos. Já aqui, são duas pessoas que jogam no "mesmo time") e o final "parecido", já que em 2018 e agora no Ragnarok, você termina em um local elevado, vendo imagens do que aconteceu durante a jornada e o que poderá acontecer futuramente.

    Nem tudo são flores, mas também nem tudo são espinhos. O jogo nos proporciona gráficos incríveis, história excelente com algumas reviravoltas, dublagem em português bem superior a de 2018 onde a voz do Kratos ficava um tanto forçada, enquanto que aqui, tá bem mais natural, uma boa jogabilidade (mas que possui algumas falhas, como citei acima) e a mudança nos personagens (principalmente do Sindri, fazendo-o deixar de ser um anão "limpinho" pra uma máquina de ódio. E Freya, uma inimiga declarada que agora faz parte do "time Kratos") todo esse pacote faz de Ragnarok, um dos melhores jogos da saga e fortíssimo candidato ao GOTY 2022. (Parabéns se você leu tudo isso até o fim).    … Expand

    Con respecto al juego, después de haberlo terminado (no me gusta reseñar si no lo he terminado como a veces muchos lo hacen), puedo decir que es el mejor god of war que existe, lo tiene todo, muchos personajes, historia magnifica, buena jugabilidad, exploración, mundos abiertos grandes, muchos puzzles, cambio de personajes para jugar interesantes, muchas horas de juego, creo que es una obra de arte, es mejor que la versión del 2018 que definitivamente fue sólo un prólogo,

    No me salió ningún bug ha pesar de haberlo jugado desde el día uno, algo que se agradece porque tuvo muchos problemas con otros títulos exclusivos como horizon forbbiden west, ratchet, grand turismo, spiderman miles morales, que estaban llenos de bugs y molestaba al jugar, en muchas ocasiones mejor dejaba de jugar para esperar a que arreglaran las cosas, con Ragnarok no fue el caso, lo pude terminar sin ningún problema.

    Para mi es el mejor juego del año definitivamente, he jugado elden ring, bayonneta 3, horizon forbbiden west, pero Ragnarok fue el que más me gustó de todos porque lo tiene todo es muy completo y se nota el gran esfuerzo. Ni si quiera me siento estafado por haberlo pagado en su precio completo día uno, hasta creo que pagará más para apoyar a los desarrolladores. Las peleas son épicas y las disfruté al máximo, mucha adrenalina y la forma en cómo contaron la historia es magnifica.

    Es un privilegio haber disfrutado de este juego, muchas gracias por deleitarnos con un títutlo tan completo, por primera vez puedo decir que valió la pena tener un PS5.

    Were it shines is in the characters with quality voice acting that makes you care about the people on screen, you feel their pain, anger, frustration. simply amazing writing. and a beautiful world full of lore were it takes place.

    Graphics = 9
    A last gen game and that shows, long corridors of beautiful vistas connected by slow climbing, tunnels, cracks, that slow you down so that old consoles can keep up, with the visuals on display. When it opens up its usually large water areas with small ilands, desert with small alcoves or ice areas that are kinda empty, impressive for ps4 with 2013 hardware, but on ps5 not so much.
    Facial animation and mocap is insane makes the characters look alive with weight like they live in a world with gravity that actually affects things on armor and objects in motion.

    Combat = 6
    barley above average for games of this type, where it falls short is the focus on makin things look cool instead of feeling good. its very slow, combos/skills look cool by slowing down time, but only for you as enemies can still move fast, example when you combo an enemy and the slow-Mo finisher / jump high while yelling slowly, enemy's will just recover move out and slap you while Kratos try to look cool, or totally assault you while you cast some skill/spell that lock you in to animations, that don't stagger enemies. All this makes you just use r1 attacks and dodge as blocking is worthless cuz they spam unlockable and shield breaking stuff all the time. this makes 85% of the whole skill tree useless.

    Back are the challenge bosses but not as good as the Valkyries, this time they teleport fly shoot summon enemies have infinite poise, spam unlockable jump attacks like they are some kinda flea, sometimes they trow multiple bosses at a time kinda cheap tbh. frustrating to the point of me just over leveling as the fun of a challenge was not there, Story fights are good but if i compare to Elden Rings polished combat and bosses this is inferior in every way.

    World and navigation =7
    Traversal is slow constantly slowed down by hidden loading such as climbing, crawl tunnels, gaps to squeeze tru, some worlds are huge other very small. all puzzles are back with hardly anything new, freeze gears, throw axe at 3 blue things to open chest, trow ax at red things in order to open stuff all copied from previous game.    … Expand

If you liked the first game, I can’t imagine why you wont like this one. It feels very much like the first game, simply elevated with characters, combat, and narrative. Lots of puzzle areas may annoy you a bit if you are not really into that. Other than that, it’s a really solid game if you love single player rpg games.… Expand

    This game is in every way better than the original (2018), and that’s saying a lot! From the story, characters, side quests, and the level design are phenomenal. This game was well worth the wait! I’m not even all the way through yet, but I know this will continue to be great all the way through. You can tell the genuine effort and love that was put into this game.

    GOD OF WAR 1 & 2 Absolutely the best game I’ve ever played! I just finished Ragnarok and honestly this game is so good! Wish it never ended! Loved Kratos and Atreus. Atreus has grown so much it really feels as if he is your child to look after and protect but you also have to understand he is growing up this game has everything I hope there’s plenty more GOW in the near future. 10/10

    God of war Ragnarök is the definition of a sequel and the ultimate advertisement for how far gaming has come. It is the block buster that puts to shame corresponding productions of other branches of entertainment. With the the slightly lighter and more humorous approach to dialogue and its style in general, the title is better in every other aspect than its predecessor.

This sequel does exactly that as it draws the norse saga to a close for the ghost of sparta as him and Atreus journey through a truly unforgettable adventure throughout the 9 realms.

The way they intertwine their creativity towards norse mythology by curating and writing the stories in unique ways that fit the purpose of the narrative while still representing the original norse scriptures correctly was done in a very thoughtful manner and was an epic experience. Santa Monica have really exhausted their skills into crafting this masterpiece and their passion and hardwork is seen through and through this game. Would definitely recommend this title to anyone who hasn't grabbed it on the PS5 yet as it is 100% a must have running silky smooth on the system or to anyone that enjoyed the 2018 game as this is basically that but dialled up to 1000. This is definitely GOTY for me hands down.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well where do I begin.......... After the success of God Of War on PS4 back in 2018 I never expect a sequel to surpass the 1st game?........... BUT how wrong I was.
    This game is a masterpiece and must be played!!!!
    Awesome graphics, the world's look amazing, the frame rate is adequate...... And the story has you at the edge of your seat from start to finish.
    I purchased this game on the PlayStation Store........ I have last gen AND current Gen versions........... I have been playing the PS4 version on the PlayStation 5 and I have zero complaints with the games stability? Maybe the PlayStation 5 Is making the game run and look better?
    I won't post any spoilers but the story was tugging on my heart strings at certain points, I actually finished the story earlier today and once I unlock all trophies on PS4......... I am loading the PlayStation 5 version and starting again because I have loved every second of the game     … Expand

    Why people give this game anything less than a 9 is beyond me. I crave single player games with a good story and it is clear this game picks up right where the og ps4 GOW left off. The graphics are unbelievable, combat is just as fun, more exploration and rewards. I’m only a few hours in but this is absolutely everything I imagined it would be and more.

    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.
