    I will start this off by saying, I am 32 years old and have been playing God of War since the series first started on PS2.
    When they came out with the 2018 version, i was blown away by the change of direction. Story was fantastic, plot twists happen. Overall great game. Since then, I have been waiting for the follow up to the 2018 ending.
    Let me say, I am not disappointed. The graphics
    I will start this off by saying, I am 32 years old and have been playing God of War since the series first started on PS2.
    When they came out with the 2018 version, i was blown away by the change of direction. Story was fantastic, plot twists happen. Overall great game. Since then, I have been waiting for the follow up to the 2018 ending.

    Let me say, I am not disappointed. The graphics on PS5 are amazing in high frame rate quality mode with a VRR display (LG cx in my case). The colors, textures, hair, fur, faces, backrounds. Its all amazing to see the amount of detail coming in every direction. There were a few times that I stopped and turned around to look at the sun ray coming through a cave as water dripped from above. It is just a beautiful experience.

    Sound was well done also. I tried using both a headset with 3d sound, and my home theater system. The way they handled the surround sound made me feel much more immersed than I ever did in the 2018 game.
    Accessibility options are here as well as controller remapping too. This was a welcome addition as the 2018 lacked many features for people with disabilities. I have a hard time with colors, so finding ravens was very difficult in 2018 for me. With the high contrast mode, I can see much more clear and I appreciate that. I wish they could've given options to remap the menu buttons to the 2018 style.
    Story is immersive and I constantly want to know what is going to happen next. I wont go into any detail to avoid spoilers but the amount of boss fights is awesome, and the animations feel much more fleshed out and life like.
    2018 balder fight felt stiff. 2022 thor fight was glorious.

    Controller haptics are great also. The way it feels when you through the ax is just pure enjoyment to me. I wish they wouldve added a little more to bows.
    To anyone looking for a great story, fun combat, beautiful animation, no loading screens, and overall great experience, I strongly suggest giving ragnarok a try.

    CONS:
    I like the 2018 interface better. I find it hard to figure out whats going on in the menus for armor and such. There is just too much information and its not easy on the eyes.
    I miss that the touch pad was only for the map before as well.
    Most times when i try to click the left side, it still pulls up the armor menu instead of the map.
    2018 handled this better overall.

    There are only 36 trophies. I was hoping for at least 50. as it helps with replayability.
    No new game plus at launch (another opportunity for more trophies too)
    2018 added new game plus roughly 4 months after releasing, but did not add trophies which was sad to me.
    No button remapping for the menu.

    Only other thing that i wish, was that it was longer because i didn't want it to end. It was a good length overall, but I did feel that some areas were rushed and could've been dove into more.

    Cons aside,

    I have never had a game that was so hyped that ended up over delivering in most areas. If you even compare screen shots from trailers to the final game, they reworked and added so much detail to scenes and game play and never once mentioned it until it was released for people to see themselves. Compare the trailer with Freya jumping onto the sled to the scene in the actual game. My expectations were exceeded.

    Overall, God of War Ragnarok is a masterpiece from one of the few companies that still cares about gamers. Their work speaks for itself and I am so thankful.

There are unanswered questions but, again, i can fully understand the development process and i am sure that those questions will be answered soon enough. I've laughed, got anxious, and cried all the way trough the game. The combat is so good. It takes the same formula as the 2018 one and enhances it. The story is the best part for me, tho. It blends so well with the previous entry and the greek saga (with some cool throwbacks to other games and cameos aswell, the MK9 one got me surprised tho haha). Also the mask being related to greece was a HOLY COW moment to me. I'm curios to know if the mask and that riff are somehow related to the higher place of existence. Anyway, can't wait for the theories to show up :)

    Finished Elden Ring, and yeah it was a good game (im saying that because a lot of you think that if ER doesn't win GOTY then the Game Awards are rigged, just stop it, check the user scores), really liked ER, but man, for me GOWR takes the place for the best game i've ever played. No one can take that from me even if it wins or not the GOTY award. It holds a special place in my heart! Thank you Eric, Cory, Jaffe for starting this adventure, and the whole SMS team!

    PS: não, esse jogo não é apenas uma dlc de God of War 2018

    God of War Ragnarok is a beautiful beast in a league of its own, the game manages to build up upon its predecessor and create a better game altogether, from the first few minutes it’s a non stop rollercoaster action ride that culminates in an war of epic proportions, with an ending twist that I did not see coming.

    God of War Ragnarok is a beautiful beast in a league of its own, the game manages to build up upon its predecessor and create a better game altogether, from the first few minutes it’s a non stop rollercoaster action ride that culminates in an war of epic proportions, with an ending twist that I did not see coming.

    The game manages to feel familiar, yet improve upon the 2018 release, character progression feels natural, side missions that can be followed in an organic way, rpg elements shine once again following the same pattern from the previous entry. For the 4holes saying this is a DLC trying to boycott the game, It took me around 50 hours and still I have 61% trophies so there’s a lot to do after the end credits.

    For anyone reading this review, if you haven’t played the game, this is a huge buy from me. Go play the game generate your own opinion about it.

    Un jeu totalement émouvant, qui me marqueras à tout jamais. Ce n’est pas simplement un “God Of War 1.5” comme on aurait pu le craindre avant sa sortie. Jeu poignant qui mérite largement ce GOTY cette année. Une pure merveille.

Amazing game overall only minor nitpicks would be the pacing at some points *ahem ironwood* and the fact Thor isn’t shown as much as I’d hoped. Those are only minor details though and it’s does not take away the fact this game is filled with such amazing narrative driven content and amazing combat that was improved upon since 2018 Expand

    Balancing a heartfelt story with over-the-top excessive video game action, Ragnarök is completely self-aware. It improves upon the previous title in all the ways we could have hoped for and delivers a huge experience with stunning visuals, beautiful storytelling and buckets of fun. This is a must have for any God of War fan and an easy recommendation for anyone new to the series.

    No one in their right mind would rate this game a 0 out of 10. It's unfortunate that trolls who can't play the game have to ruin the score.

Ragnarok is the true definition of a perfect sequel, in every sense you get captivated in the first 20 minutes and if never lets down, even after the monster of the main story SMS was able to build all 7 realms so intricately that it leaves players speechless, now getting past how amazing this game is there was only 2 complaints/questions I had, the World Serpent felt very underused and felt like a missed opportunity, likewise i was surprised that odin, a master manipulator never used kratos past as a weapon, did atreus ever find out the true severity of kratos’s actions? other than that the plot was amazing the combat was incredible and even small dialogues between the characters felt amazing, everything in this game feels truly rewarding even finding the real tyr after the main plot was so shocking.

    This game deserves to win GOTY for so many reasons, even with the stiff competition it faces. No game comes close in terms of writing, and it narrowly beats out Elden Ring in the gameplay segment. It is without a doubt up there with the greatest games of all time.

    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.
