Сюжетные события максимально нелогичны и необоснованны, в реакции персонажей не веришь т.к. сцены выстроены неумело, есть откровенно пустые эпизоды и многие сюжетные крючки по итогу не срабатывают. Кроме графики в этой части меня ничего не порадовало, как будто разработкой занимались люди без опыта а у сценариста отец ушёл из семьи за сигаретами и он теперь экстраполирует свои проблемы на сюжет игры. Думаю фанатам Марвел и 14-и летним девочкам с отчимами-алкоголиками понравится. Геймплей тоже просел, сломали систему уровней, новых врагов по пальцам одной руки пересчитать, новых приёмов столько же, импакта практически не ощущаешь. Я не думал, что скажу это, но я даже от Elden Ring получал больше удовольствия после 50-и часов прохождения, чем от этой игры. Кроме графики похвалить не за что, а свои бесконечные ребусы, которые стали основным геймплеем игры сразу после бесконечной диалоговой милодраммы, можете затолкать себе в задницу и там же потерять. Благо у нас остался второй и третий GoW, в которые я прямо сейчас и отправлюсь играть.… Expand

    GOW Ragnarok is a wonderful game and in my opinion the best game of 2022.
    But you can't deny it suffers a few issues in term of plot holes and story wise.

We also learn that Frigg and Freya were the    GOW Ragnarok is a wonderful game and in my opinion the best game of 2022.
    But you can't deny it suffers a few issues in term of plot holes and story wise.

    1. Plot holes
    - Last game covered up ever single plot hole with Mimir storytellings. We even got to learn that he was Puck from Celtic mythology who moved North and started over his life. We also learn that Frigg and Freya were the same person. This game however does not fix such plot holes and it should have been easy since they did it last time.
    - E.g. Angrboda, her mother, grandmother and Hildisvíni are all portrayed with African heritage, but why is noone mentioning it? Why isn't there a single dialogue that they, or their ancestors moved to the Northern lands similar like Kratos and Mimir? And what about other races? Why don't we see Latinos, Asians, Arabs or other races in these lands? Shouldn't Mimir have a simple story about it? HE ALREADY KNEW HILDISVINI!
    - Angrboda was also my favorite character, but we barely got to know her. Why did her parents die? Why is she and her grandma all alone? Where did they all get their African heritage from? WHY, WHY DIDN'T SHE JOIN LOKI'S JOURNEY?!
    - Then there is the fact that Tyr left arm is covered in Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Why doesn't Atreus ask about it and try to read them? It feels really out of character for him, especially when his job is to decipher the mask from Odin with all sorts of different languages.

    2. Underused gods
    - The same problem occurred with the Greek GOW games, in which we might not see all the gods and it's a damn shame.
    - There was a very long discussion if this Norse GOW saga were supposed to be two or three games. You can definitely feel that uncertain choice in this game.

    3. Scale is big, but not BIG ENOUGH!
    - The scale of these enemies are big, but when compared to previous GOW games, they are rather tiny. I understand that giants, dragons and monsters all come in variety of sizes, but this game enemies are clearly smaller than Hræzlyr and Thamur.

    Nevertheless.
    I truly, TRULY loved this game. Graphics, gameplay, story, music. I loved it, 10/10 game.

    Kratos story at this point feels done.
    If Loki story continues, I really want to see him reunite with Angrboda again and hopefully have a few more dialogues of covered up plot holes.    … Expand

    Honestly mediocre like a superhero movie, A bad guy, a journey to stop him, a hero doin stuff his way nothing new but entertaining.
    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

    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.    … Expand

    Disappointing. It's a rushed and unfinished game and it needed to be a trilogy. You don't even feel like you are fighting with gods anymore.

Here in the last boss fight, it's like you are fighting with mini boss from a random anime game.

    The entire game you only get one new weapon which is absolutely disappointing. The game is joky and it has lost its serious tone. 50% of the game is with Atreus and it's very meh. Is this even God of War? They have ruined the franchise. Also when we talk about Dragons, Nidhogg is the first thing that comes to mind. This dragon is so powerful that Kratos needs to activate his whole power to be able to killing it. The design and the fight itself is very weak and washed.

    The inside of Asgard is very disappointing and it's like a generic village of Assassin's Creed. You can't even compare it to that glorious and crazy Olympus that they made in God of War 3. The Ragnarok itself with all its hype is very disappointing, rushed and generic. They really dropped the ball in this God of War.

    The old greek God of War trilogy is remained the best and i don't need to see another God of War anymore after this mediocrity.    … Expand

    Big disappointment.

    God of war 2018 was amazing. It feels like more of the same, I should still like it but I don't. Maps are bad, design and views are meh. Enemies are just OK. NPCs are nothing special, one of the antagonist from main quest line feels like a Patison from "Twilight".
    The beginning of the game is great but after that game was painful to finish.

    I still recommend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Is this a good game? Sure, it is fun and the story is good in parts. Is it a good follow up to 2018 GoW? Hardly. It is closer to Uncharted 4 than GoW 2018.

    While 2018 GoW was not a very "open world", this feels like a game on rails the entire time. They went so far as to throw up asinine & arbitrary barriers in many places you've already been to when you try to revisit earlier areas.

    The combat is a bit deeper, however the actual encounters are mostly much worse, especially for trash mobs. Whereas Souls games use creative combat and good skill sets to make even the trash challenging to defeat, GoW:R went with the "more health, more mitigation, more damage" route, and that's it. Kratos is no god in GoW:R. He's barely able to take 2 hits from trash mobs on the hardest difficulty b/c that's all they could come up with for difficulty.

    In 2018, the story moved along with a very good pace without too many distractions. GoW:R constantly flips between Kratos/Atreus, Atreus/X, Kratos/Freya, Atreus/Y, Atreus/Z, just non-stop. The work you've done over the last 4 hours feels undone as you move from 1 setting to another, and the pace of the story goes from a gallop back to a trot as it tries to orientate you to the new chapter/character combo.

    Various other complaints:

    1. Way too much backtracking
    2. Lots of broken AI with mobs and your teammates sitting there doing nothing very often. Many difficult fights just break and the mobs sit there until you kill them (2 trolls did this, werewolves do this very often as well)
    3. Inappropriate jokes. Why is a Seinfeld joke in a GoW game?
    4. Unnecessary cuckolding of Atreus by Thrud with modern "sensibilities" feeling incredibly out of place
    5. No planning allowed for any encounters. Nearly everything spawns out of nowhere. This is a cheap trick to make the game last longer and nothing more.
    6. Several 1 ways that make no sense at all
    7. Another Playstation game that vastly overpads the game time by putting in far too much climbing. Do PS fanboys really enjoy this? It adds nothing to the game but annoyance and time. It isn't interesting or challenging like Breath of the Wild, a 5+ year old game on a much less advanced system.

    Again, not a horrible game, just not nearly up to the same standards that GoW 2018 set. Anyone talking about this for "Game of the Year" is blinded by bias or paid off by Sony.    … Expand

    It’s a shame that this is the standard for today’s triple A. It’s the same game as many others but with fancy graphics and mediocre gameplay and engagement. It’s unfair and misleading for people who wants a challenge and gameplay mechanics that doesn’t feel as an excuse to stick together different cutscenes.

    The decline comes from how much they throw at you from a narrative point-of-view. God of War (2018) is a straightforward, impactful story of a boy and his father going on a journey to spread the mother's ashes. Along this journey, bits and pieces of the world and its characters slowly start to get peeled back.

    God of War: Ragnarok feels like it should have been a fourth installment for how much they ask of you to know everything about this world. There are so many moving parts to be aware of for the story to really makes that impact 2018 did and it never does. It doesn't help that the characters outside of Kratos, Atreus and maybe Freya are pretty unengaging.

    It's not even that Ragnarok is a "bad" game, honestly it's exceptional as hell with an obvious huge budget attatched to it to help sell that this is a AAA game with new mechanics, worlds, engine improvements, etc. But that doesn't help the feeling that God of War: Ragnarok tries to do too much with too little setup.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. very underrated game, it is far inferior to previous games in the franchise. Kratos in this game is very pathetic, he doesn't show anger at any point in the game. trailers promised a more bloodthirsty kratos for classic styles, but here half the game is followed by atreus. Kratos besides being excluded in the game doesn't really show an attitude of the classic games except in the Heimdall fight where the kratos really fights seriously in the game. the battles against the gods are horrible, it seems that we are facing just a common enemy of the game. and this question of kratos being nice to Thor instead of killing him is one of the biggest clichés I've ever seen, it sounds like the famous phrase "revenge is bad". but apart from 99% of all the crap in the game, graphics are the only thing that can save the game.… Expand

Unnecessary. 2. A bit bad pacing during the second half of the game. 3. The Ragnarok battle was disappointing.A good and enjoyable game but there are a few things I dislike about it. 1.

Unnecessary. 2. A bit bad pacing during the second half of the game. 3. The Ragnarok battle was disappointing. Should've been longer and more impactful but instead it ended very quickly with the only important character on our side dying being Freyr. His death was poorly written , unnecessary, and his character wasn't developed enough for me to even care about him let alone be upset about his death. 4. In Gow 2018 the Leviathan Axe in imbued with Eitr, the World Serpent's venom which is suppose to kill Thor during Ragnarok or something along those lines, but in this game even though Thor is pierced multiple times with the axe the venom has absolutely no effect, it's almost like they forgot about it entirely. I was really hoping to see something happen with that but alas I am fated to be left disappointed. 5. Not enough boss battles during Ragnarok. I feel as though there should've been 3-5 big battles against the different Aesir Gods during Ragnarok but instead we got just Thor and Odin. I know Odin has two brothers but they aren't seen at all, there's also Vidar who's supposed to kill Fenrir in Norse mythology but he isn't mentioned at any point. I really feel that they could've done a much better job with Ragnarok, both the battle and the game, but overall I did enjoy it and had a lot of fun.

    desde su inicio hasta que acaba se mantiene siempre bastante entretenido, hasta en esos momentos de tranquilidad que puedes ir a explorar y hacer las misiones secundarias.

    el sistema de batalla es llevado a la perfección kratos y atreus se sienten muy bien y bastante, la dirección de cámara que nunca tiene cortes todo se lleva a cabo en primer plano y es algo impecable digno de admiración.

    la narrativa esta perfecta en todo sentidos.

    la dirección es llevada a un nuevo nivel nada que reprochar.

    la actuación de todo el cast es tan buena que todos los personajes les tomas gran aprecio.

    el soundtrack de Bear McCreary es tan poderoso que te llega a el alma con cada melodía usada en cada uno de los reinas, eso sin contar las batallas tienen también su tono especifico.

Es absolutamente increíble la cantidad de subnormales con la que compartimos aire en este planeta; es decir... Muy poco o nada te tiene que llegar la sangre al cerebro para puntuar este juego con un jodido 0!
    Es que de verdad que no sé si reír o llorar (supongo que haré ambas cosas).

    En fin, una vez comentado esto, que es que quería desahogarme... Ahora sí: mi opinión SIN SPOILERS de este juego es que es... A-SOM-BRO-SO; en lo que se refiere al apartado de su historia te puede gustar más o menos (que a mí me encanta, vaya) pero vamos, que en términos generales ES UNA BUENA HISTORIA y quien te diga lo contrario ya te digo yo que mucha idea de lo que dice... no tiene. Como esta es una reseña sin spoilers no os voy destripar ningún momento de ella ni a deciros lo que pasa, pero si os diré que está llena de momentos absolutamente espectaculares, llena de giros que te sorprenderán y un final que... Aún sigo intentando de asimilar.

    De sus gráficos no me voy a parar mucho a hablar ya que salta a la vista que son sobresalientes (aunque su apartado artístico es incluso mejor 15/10), yo lo estoy jugando en una Ps5 en modo rendimiento y todo luce fantástico; ah y para todos aquellos que dicen que es IGUAL al GOW de 2018 en este apartado, decirles que se vayan a ver comparativas en YT y se pongan gafas, que hey igual simplemente decís esas gilipolleces porque tenéis algún tipo de problema de visión o algo!

    La jugabilidad es sin duda su punto más fuerte porque... OH MADRE MÍA... PERO MADRE MÍA EH... ! Si ya disfrutaste en el anterior GOW masacrando a tus enemigos con el HACHA y con LAS ESPADAS DEL CAOS... Ya te voy adelantando que en este no te haces ni una más mínima idea de lo que vas a disfrutar jojojo. De verdad que el combate en este título es una completa locura lo sumamente bien pulido que está y lo variado que puede llegar a ser; también comentar que dentro de este apartado jugable tenemos bastantes puzles y si bien sois como yo que no sois demasiado fan de ellos (por no decir nada, ya que yo soy una persona que en general destesta hacer puzles) deciros que tampoco os preocupeis por ello ya que en su mayoría son bastante sencillos, ejem ejem, EN SU MAYORÍA.

    Y bueno, ya por último y antes de finalizar esta reseña me gustaría hacer una reflexión/comentario y es que... Pese a todo lo que haya dicho y lo mucho que haya disfrutado de este GOW... Este juego... NO ES PERFECTO... Pero... qué juego lo es? Por qué yo mismo entonces le doy un 10?? Pues aparte de por la cantidad de subnormales ya citados que lo puntúan con un 0... Pues porque PARA MÍ realmente es un 10 con sus defectos y con sus virtudes; y es que a absolutamente cualquier juego denominado como una "OBRA MAESTRA" le vas a poder encontrar fallos si se los buscas. En lo personal este GOW me ha hecho sentir cosas que no sentía desde que tenía 14 años jugando al GOW 2 de Ps2 (mi favorito) y es por ello que PARA MÍ, es una obra maestra y un 10 sin ningún lugar a dudas. Si de hecho ha sido precisamente por eso, por lo que he sentido con este juego al jugarlo, que me he animado a hacer esta reseña (primera vez que escribo aquí en Metacritic) y compartir mi opinión por si alguien le sirve de ayuda o lo que sea; y también de paso porque me apena bastante que en estos tiempos que corren aún siga habiendo gente con 30, 40 e incluso 50 años que se comportan como críos/niñatos haciendo estúpidas guerras de consolas y criticando juegos solo por ser de "x" o "y" desarrolladora. Un abrazo y paz, disfrutad de este juegazo y disfrutemos todos juntos de los videojuegos.    … 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.

    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.
