    GoW 2 is almost the same as Gow 1 but with slight improvements for all parts - better graphics, better narrative, better characters etc.

    There are things to reprimand the game like not very user-friendly UI, some side quests could be removed from the game, some main quests are not that good as others. And main argument - there are no big changes.

    To keep it short and sweet. The game is a masterpiece. It’s everything you could ever ask for. And in my opinion it is the greatest game of all time. It improves on everything God Of War 2018 didn’t do too well and did what God Of War 2018 did well, EVEN BETTER. The combat is similar but fresh, the graphics are fantastic and the story is absolutely incredible. 10/10!

Love it. 2 games and not a new trilogy was a good decision tho, i think 3 games like this would drag it out and kill the hype. Good finish to the norse saga.

Wasting no time after the events of the first game, this amazing narrative took me on an incredible journey through nine beautiful realms seeking answers to seemingly unsolvable problems. Starting you off with all the weapons from the previous game, Ragnarok felt like a perfect continuation as though the first game had never ended. This shows in the narrative as you quickly meet new characters, both friend and foe alike, who carry the plot into entirely new directions and always leave you wondering what will happen next. The acting is superb for both the returning cast as well as some wonderful new additions like Odin, Thor, and Thrud. Story is definitely the highlight of this journey and it doesn't disappoint in the slightest, nor does the incredible gameplay with boss fights so incredible my jaw often dropped in complete amazement. There's little more I can say without venturing into spoilers, other than every aspect of this game was perfect. A tight and complete story, a whole new form of exploration, an amazing cast I found myself emotionally invested into, expanded combat, and a soundtrack that stands above many others. If you've not played these two incredible games I cannot recommend them enough; they did not need a trilogy to "be better."… 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.

    God of War: Ragnarok is an utter masterpiece of a game. it is visually astonishing, constantly entertaining, and tells an absolutely beautiful story that defies every expectation that the original God of War would have loomed large over its sequel.

    The only negatives I can offer about Ragnarok amount to two issues: The first is the game's occasional issues with pathing, where I was misled about where to go for a quest or two. This is a minor nitpick, and not something you should concern yourself with - in every other technical and performative aspect, this game is sublime, and performs with almost zero hiccups of any kind.

    The second issue I have is that Ragnarok is a one-time sort of affair. The game is a highly evocative meditation on grief, identity, forgiveness, revenge and family - the performances from the game's cast of characters are all phenomenal, and the story is undeniably poetic and beautiful. But once this game's story is told, and the post-game is complete, it has given all that I believe it has to offer. The combat is fantastic, and the gameplay is all generally excellent. But the story is so central to the gameplay that playing through the game more than once feels pointless. In short: The approximately 40 hours you spend with this game will be incredible. But the replay value is not really there, in my opinion, and I think that this is the sacrifice Ragnarok chooses to make in order to tell such a moving story. I think this is an issue plaguing modern games like this, and similar 'story games' - Ghost of Tsushima and the Uncharted series seem like prime examples to me - do not offer enough variety in gameplay paths to make any more than one playthrough seem worthwhile to me. I hope that this approach to video games is not something we see become the norm, because I personally love games I can replay in different ways multiple times (i.e. Elden Ring and other build-based games).

    Despite my aforementioned fears, I cannot possibly avoid giving Ragnarok anything but a perfect score. The story it tells is so powerful that I believe it can alter the way we choose to live our lives. What it lacks in replayability, it makes up for with the single marvelous punch it delivers. It is not the most fun game I have ever played, nor is it the best. But what it does, it does wonderfully, and it does so many of those things so excellently that anything but a "10" would be biased and begrudging. I hope that such beautiful stories, like the one Ragnarok tells, continue to populate the world of gaming as much as other, non-narrative-focused games - if Ragnarok is any indication of what may come, I look forward to what we can expect from game developers in the future.    … Expand

Kratos, a character known for his brutal nature, is forced to confront his past and come to terms with his own mortality. Along the way, he learns how to be an amazing father to his son, and the bond that develops between them is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

    The game's music (OST) is nothing short of amazing, with soaring orchestral pieces that perfectly complement the game's emotional themes. The gameplay sounds are also top-notch, immersing players in a world that feels alive with sound. The clashing of weapons, the crunch of snow underfoot, and the roar of giants all serve to create a sense of immersion that is simply awesome.

    But what truly sets God of War: Ragnarök apart is how it manages to weave these emotional themes into a game that is also packed with thrilling combat and stunning visuals. The action sequences are nothing short of breathtaking, with the game's combat mechanics feeling tighter and more polished than ever before. Players will find themselves immersed in epic battles against some of the most iconic figures from Norse mythology, each one a thrilling and memorable experience.

    Overall, God of War: Ragnarök is a game that fires on all cylinders. Its stunning visuals, incredible combat, unforgettable story, and beautiful music all come together to create an experience that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. This game is a true masterpiece that every gamer owes it to themselves to experience. After completing this unforgettable journey, players will undoubtedly be left with a deep sense of emotional resonance that will stay with them long after the credits have rolled.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece like the previous one. All these Xbots gamers are trying to review bomb it because they are overwhelmingly jealous that Xbox has nothing to offer but Gamepass with hardly any new Xbox studio titles. If you loved GOW 2018. You will love this one. It's amazing.

    One of the best games I've ever played.
    Satisfying gameplay, Awesome Graphics, Engaging story, Climatic ending.
    Only minor issues was with help from companions i.e. Mimir / Atreus / Freyr doesn't give you much time to solve the puzzles yourself. Also the default settings for the PS5 versions ruin the frame quality.
    Turn off Blur effect and High frame rate mode.

    一句话总结：本作就是一代的大型资料片。这在我这里绝不是贬义，一代是一款几近完美的配方，哪怕放在今时今日也绝不过时。让人垂涎欲滴的盛宴再来一次，何乐而不为？虽说如此，本作还是在一代的基础上做了相当多的扩充。首先就是从原来的箱庭式打法扩张到了开放世界，从米德加尔的白雪皑皑，到华纳海姆的热带雨林，再到亚尔夫海姆的沙尘滚滚，每个世界都栩栩如生让人沉醉。其次就是剧情从聚焦父与子扩散到九届中的战友，尤其是矮人兄弟的结局让人唏嘘不已。再来就是玩法的扩充，长矛的加入真是让战斗的乐趣更上了一个台阶。最后提一下奎爷终章的猛虎落泪，奎爷重生了，活着再也不是受人驱使，摆脱了头三部曲的复仇以及上一作妻子的遗愿，他终于为了自己而活。一句话总结：本作就是一代的大型资料片。这在我这里绝不是贬义，一代是一款几近完美的配方，哪怕放在今时今日也绝不过时。让人垂涎欲滴的盛宴再来一次，何乐而不为？虽说如此，本作还是在一代的基础上做了相当多的扩充。首先就是从原来的箱庭式打法扩张到了开放世界，从米德加尔的白雪皑皑，到华纳海姆的热带雨林，再到亚尔夫海姆的沙尘滚滚，每个世界都栩栩如生让人沉醉。其次就是剧情从聚焦父与子扩散到九届中的战友，尤其是矮人兄弟的结局让人唏嘘不已。再来就是玩法的扩充，长矛的加入真是让战斗的乐趣更上了一个台阶。最后提一下奎爷终章的猛虎落泪，奎爷重生了，活着再也不是受人驱使，摆脱了头三部曲的复仇以及上一作妻子的遗愿，他终于为了自己而活。

    One word WOW. Santa Monica have outdone themselves. Yeah there are several things which are similar to GOW 2018. But they were the best features of the game retained in Ragnarok. Game is absolutely phenomenal both in scope and scale. And yes it felt like 2 parts fitted into one game. Pacing is perfect. Quality is top notch. I didn't encountered any bugs and glitches.loved the game.

    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.
