    What I expect of GOW is a epic historical story, but Santa Monica made it a boring family arguing movie, and not a successful one. it is like the writer is suffering from a middle aged kids crisis, while too eager to share his opinion on how to communicate with a ten years old rebelling son
    The story have too much they want to express, anti-war, resist the prophecy and destiny, parenting.

    The first few hours seems fine, afterward it gets worse and worse, too much useless story which should be in the side quest are in the main quest, this is a total waste of time, makes me only want to know the ending ASAP
    the gameplay is no big difference between GOW4, i don't like hitting the crow and finding the bell, it's not fun at all    … Expand

    God of War Ragnarök is that kind of game that you’ll probably remember for a long time.

    For me it was the best written game this year, the story takes a bigger scale on Scandinavic mythology comparing with the 2018s game.Also characters from previous game appears and has their own character arc, my favorite among them was Freyas arc.She transformed from a broken woman who seeked only revenge to a strong warrior who learned how to forgive and become better than she was before.Also ive gotta admit that i liked Atreus more than he was in the fourth game, his humor and relations with other character are awesome especially with Kratos, Sindri and Angraboda.The new characters on the other hand are also awfuly interesting - Thor,Odin,Thrud,Freyr,Tyr,Heimdall -these characters also has their character arc and some of them are even better than some character from previous game.For me the most memorable and amazing character was Thor, his arc and the tragedy of his family was so realistic and so close to me that i really understood Thor and for me even at the middle of the game he wasn’t a bad guy, and his fate for me seemed like throwing a good character into garbage.And of course the the best duo in the game for me is Kratos and Mimir, they are the best characters in the hame for me, and i would be pleased if Christopher Judge would receive a Best Performance award and the Game Awards, after seeing almost everything in this game i could say that he deserves it more than anyone among the nominees.
    The gameplay core is kinda the same as we saw in 2018 game, and for me it wasn’t a problem, because developers merely advanced an already perfect gameplay, and the fights in this game and the difficulty "Give me the challenge" feels really good, except some fights with Berserkers ( the ones with a 3 in 1 fight, and 2 in 1 fight - these are horrible unfair stupid **** fights ), ive gotta admit that direction in the bossfights with Thor ( both fights ), Garm, Odin and Heimdall is fascinating and i could say the these are the most beautifully paced fights for a long time in industry.Also the direction of the cutscenes is taking new heights comparing with the firts game, the cutscenes is literally a pure art and a admire hard-work of the developers from Santa Monica Studios.
    The world of the game also became bigger and there some new activities and new worlds to explore - Vanaheim is the most beautiful among all the worlds and it was a pure pleasure to explore, the same thing i can say about Svartalheim, Alfheim and Midgard.Also the Muspelheim trials became more interesting and fun comparing with previous game, even Thor admits it…
    In the end i have to take credit of magnificent soundtrack written by Bear McCreary, one the best soundtracks that i’ve ever listened to for a long while, he’s soundtrack is so good that even after completing the game and then again listening to the tracks from huge dramatic moments it bringing me to tears just from a track.
    Also after completing this game and obtaining a platinum i could say that it was an amazing and memorable journey that i will remember for a log while, and if this game would get a GOTY this year i wouldn’t be disappointed ( cant say that about the fact if Elden Ring would win, i hope it wouldn’t happen ).But i’m still rooting for Srtay :3
    Loki will go, Atreus remains…

    But the worst was the end the story, the fight with Thor and Odin was lame, not epic at all.

    A technical marvel undermined by rigid and uninspired gameplay, Netlfix-tier writing, and an over-earnest story which is far too introspective for its own good. I can't say that I particularly enjoyed playing it, to be honest; it was oddly boring, which is perhaps the most damning indictment of a game about gods killing each other I could offer.

    Now for ragnarok. I was immensely excited for this game, considering I was so fond of the original. I went into it completely blind and here is my reaction:

    1. More of the same - god of war when released felt like an entirely new game, you wanted to explore everything and see every little thing, but with ragnarok that feeling is gone. It’s more or less the exact same game as the original, but with a new story. The gameplay feels nearly identical, the worlds have changed a small bit, but not enough to be worthwhile exploring every nook and cranny again. 2. The story - I have mixed feelings regarding this, I honestly believe the second games story was nowhere’s near as strong as the first games story. Although I did enjoy it, I found myself often getting bored while playing and found certain area’s way to dragged out. This is a feeling I did not experience with the first. 3. Next gen immersion - now this may be a personal preference, but this does not feel like a next gen game. I understand it was made and developed for ps4, but so was Forbidden west, and that felt like a next gen game. I have swapped between ps4 and ps5 while playing and found virtually no difference. I feel at this point games should be released at 4k 60fps not half and half/ or have to wait months for a upgrade. At the very least it would have made the game feel a bit next gen.

    Based on the above, while I do love this game and recommend it as a must play, I rated it a 9 because I did have a few minor quirks that could have easily been fixed.    … Expand

    Atreus and Mimir instantly giving you hints for even the simplest puzzles is extremely annoying & makes you feel stupid. I had almost zero joy from solving 80% of the puzzles because of those two.

    Bon, soyons honnête, il n'est pas parfait. Il est très (trop) assisté ce qui peut agacer par moment, on voit les zones de "chargement" lié au fait que ce soit à la base un jeu PS4 ce qui coupe les niveaux inutilement et casse le rythme, et ça manque peut être encore de verticalité ou de plus de liberté.

Il est très (trop) assisté ce qui peut agacer par moment, on voit les zones de "chargement" lié au fait que ce soit à la base un jeu PS4 ce qui coupe les niveaux inutilement et casse le rythme, et ça manque peut être encore de verticalité ou de plus de liberté. On pourrait aussi tiquer sur certains niveaux un peu lent/lourds (atreus)

    Une fois qu'on a dit ça, il faut reconnaître que ce Ragnarok est certainement le meilleur épisode de la saga depuis longtemps. La mise en scène est parfaite, les personnages charismatiques et attachant, on découvre aussi un Kratos dans un contexte inédit et excellent (son rôle de père). Techniquement quand on sait que c'est un jeu PS4 à la base, c'est bluffant. Santa Monica sont des magiciens et je suis impatient de voir leur jeu uniquement PS5.

    Fini à 100% en 52h, j'ai adoré l'aventure et je ne peux que lui mettre la note maximale pour ce moment intense qui m'a comblé du début à la fin.    … Expand

    God of War Ragnarök is a really great game, but I do think, that God of War 2018 was an overall better game.

    The level design isn't as good as the last game, sometimes the pacing is off, some plot points unfold in an unsatisfying way and the ending seems rushed and lacks the epic and brutal fights, which we know this series for.

It is slightly buggy though, and changing difficulties is broken. Side content from a gameplay perspective is fantastic but doesn't add much to the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So disappointing, this game had potential. Story was a big let down. Could have been different if it was 3 games but everything felt rushed. Built up certain things in the first game then did a complete 180 in the second. My all time favourite series turned to crap. No Valhalla??? 'Explore the 9 realms' biggest over statement of all times. 4 realms and a few side areas. Combat is a mess. side characters don't follow when they are meant to. Can be attacked during Kratos special attacks but cannot stop them to defend?? Inconsistent mess when attacking enemies, sometimes your moves will stun them other times they will keep coming? Makes it nearly impossible to plan a battle strategy. The only decent strategy is to avoid using special attacks.

    No Mjolner???? Yet it comes in the collectors/Jotnar edition. I feel genuinely ripped off.

    Finally I wanted to kill Odin and Thor. This was built up so heavily in 2018 and now we are just OK to forgive everyone? Atreus asks Kratos at one point 'is it always OK to kill those who are trying to kill you" Kratos responds 'yes'. But now we don't want to kill them? Thor's 'redemption arc' was so badly done. He was told to go with Atreus so now he's a good guy and we forgive him? it's just bad writing. Again, a 3rd game could have solved this. rushed.

    There is a lot of good in the game. If you just want more of 2018 (but less polish) more of the same plus a few new areas. it's fine. It's entertaining enough. But compare it to 2018 and it's a disaster. Even worse it's an intentionally designed disaster.    … Expand

    Story is quite good. Atreus still acts like a spoilt brat which is annoying and I think he should have been written a bit better. Also I don't understand why his name is Loki. Loki is the god of mischief which is Odin's son if you follow the mythological god's and this game clearly does. The combat still has many issues.

You shouldn't need the red and yellow circles to know what type of evasive action you should do. It should be clear for the animation. Sometimes an enemy can hit and it blockable but then it does basically the same animation but it can't be blocked but instead evade. Also a major issue that breaks the combat completely is that you can goto use an ability and the enemies attack will start halfway through but you are stuck in animation so you can't avoid it. Why not make the enemies pause whilst your in an ability animation? I literally never use abilities because I know chances are IL loose a ton of health if I do. Why does Freya not need to say anything when using runic arrows but Atreus does? It's a bit inconsistent? Overall I think the game is a bit linear. For example climbing is locked to certain walls and you can only jump when the game says you can. It would have been great to make this a big change going into Ragnarok making the player have more freedom. Overall I just don't think they made any real big core changes to the gameplay. Everything just feels to much the same. Almost like this is more a huge DLC then a new game. Even the graphics haven't changed that much and I'm on Ps5. It's a great game but I did expect more something new to come to the table other then the story and some changes to the map.

    Also the berserker gravestones bosses is a bit messed up. Some of the attacks are completely out of sync with Kratos movement causing you unavoidable damage. For example if 1 where he shouts "fall before me" whilst your releasing axe throw the time your in animation is to long and you take a heavy hit. Or how it shows you can block but if you do he just follows with a second hit but your character is stuck in flinch. I'm all for high difficulty bosses but these bosses are completely broken and your basically limited to melee only combat without skills or ability's towards the second half of the fight due to the time they take. Ramping up the speed and repeating attacks multiple times is something I would expect in a PS2 boss fight NOT a Ps5 boss fight. Why not just design new attacks. These are sidemissions so obviously they get very little attention when it comes to bug testing. I've completed all the from software games so this isn't just a hot take.
    There is another one which reuses the same animation for 2 different attacks. 1 which can be blocked with a shield and another can't. When your far away from the boss and have slightly impaired site you can't always see the red circle clearly. This makes this hell for me. Who ever thought reusing an animation like that was a good idea should stay away from game development. These bosses literally have such little purpose in the game other then to drag the hours of playtime up. The Valkyries actually mean something but I don't even know what these berserkers are because it doesn't tell you? They aren't fun to do as they do the same attack over and over. They have tank health and attack windows are few and far between. If the mechanics switched up they would be fun but it's the same variety and even the same order of attacks start to finish? All it is just learn a button combination of shield, roll and attack then when his health reaches a certain point add a longer shield duration and more rolls. That's so lazy to script such basic mechanics. They couldn't even be bothered to randomise the attacks.    … 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.

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

    Fights like Jormungadr vs Thor we didn't even get to see anything, so incredibly underwhelming...

    All that aside this is still a good game to play, just don't get your hopes up from big names and popular cultural references such as a Ragnarok, this game lore wise leaves much to crave for and none of the main bosses are all that challenging even though they look pretty good animation wise.

    Um game com qualidade técnica impecável, assim como sua história. A história por mais que deixe algumas pontas soltas, a trama principal, ela finaliza perfeitamente. Com certeza emocionante.

    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.
