    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything is spot on from the technic perspective. However, the lack of a narrative ending made everything seem much more flat and disappointing. The myth of Faye was explained as "she's been protecting you", and the mask and truth went away like nothing happened (don't know why it took hours for players to go looking for the mask), and the "different side adjusted differently justice" ends up with Odin was simply just a total jerk... A lot of potential ending in a truly cheap way, which made it hard to justify the fatigue combat and old system over many hours. The father and son ended just like the other mortals... Expand

    Поиграл, часов 15 по основной сюжетной линии. Причем последние часов 10 пересиливал себя, это фильм, это не игра.
    Куча трёпа причем скудного и односложного( дело не в локализации). Постоянный гундёж и скулёж персонажей изматывает. Пон

    You already played this game back in 2018.
    This game should have been advertised as a 30$ DLC instead of a 70$ game:
    - Minimal amount of blood and gore - Too sterile, no sex scenes etc. - Recycled animations - Same repetitive and brain-dead puzzles made for toddlers - Same repetitive and mediocre combat mechanics - Same boring single dad simulator - Boring and spongy enemies

    - Buggy at launch
    - Old-gen holds back it's potential
    - Feels more like a movie than an actual game
    - Extremely linear story and level design
    - Holds your hand all the way through
    - Bad pacing
    - Slightly improved graphics
    - Black-washing
    - Woke libtard soy writing

    This would probably have been more like a 3/10 if not for the following circumstances:

    - I'm sick of lazy game development and cash grabs
    - I'm sick of woke storytelling and race-swapping
    - I'm sick of micro-transaction gotcha mechanics - even though this game has none of the sort.
    - I want to counterweight the fake 10/10's

    The gaming industry is in shambles and we need to push back against this and tell the truth about new games and corrupt reviewers who shill for a review copy.
    Make games great again!

    God of war Ragnarok is 50% front ended with borderline cut DLC ideas. And back ended with an over-bloated mess of an ending that would have been in service to a third title. Pros: wonderful environments and physics

    Its an ending I guess Kratos is finally likeable after like 8 games or some **** Cons: combat is borderline on rails Falls into “sony 3rd person sad dad game 100” territory
    God of war Ragnarok is 50% front ended with borderline cut DLC ideas. And back ended with an over-bloated mess of an ending that would have been in service to a third title. Pros: wonderful environments and physics

    Its an ending I guess

    Kratos is finally likeable after like 8 games or some ****

    Cons: combat is borderline on rails

    Falls into “sony 3rd person sad dad game 100” territory that they just kept running with since the Last of us

    Entire game feels like its holding your hand to the point that you barely have to think outside of combat

    Extended ending is locked to doing some fetch quests after 22 hours of gameplay

    Voice acting is borderline unbearable outside of kratos and mimir. Atreus feels like they had a decent child VA who hit puberty and doesnt care about voicing a main character. Game borderline forces you into using the axe over everything else. This is not a devil may cry game where you can use everything or nothing. Upgrade system is a cool idea. But largely a numbers game to out damage bosses. Overall. Its sad that the “final” chapter is an actual bloated mess that basically boils down to “melee only last of us story” and little much else. 6/10. Beat after 22 hours on 11/12/2023 PS5 version.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War Ragnarök is a roller coaster for sure. Amazing game with a brilliant story fleshed out in the main path but also really well developed side quests. I loved this game but have a few nick picks regarding the bosses and story. Below are my issues - The question of 'Who blew the horn to summon the serpent in 2018' - This was never answered - Should have been able to weird Mijolnir at somepoint for a section of a boss battle or one segment of the campaign
    - Should have been able to go on the rainbow bridge for a segment of campaign (maybe part of the Heimdall boss fight)
    - Would have been really cool if Fenrir ate Odin as per norse mythology - Played as Atreus a bit too much in the main story for me - Could have done with better pacing boss fights as like GOW 2018 (Fighting Thor 3 times rather than 2 would probably have done it)

    These are all fairly minor story beats/critiques to a game I'll remember and continue to replay for many many years to come but just wanted to share some honest opinions 9.5/10 for me

    Linear. Nothing innovative. Worse story characters and fights compared to the first one. Drags on with melodrama and when you do get gameplay its mostly puzzles. Npcs give too many dialogue hints to the puzzles and the combat is repetitive.

    GOW Ragnarök es una hermosa obra de arte, con un final que me hizo llorar y muy emotiva la historia. Un desarrollo de KRATOS demostrando sus sentimientos y dejando un lado su frialdad a lo largo de los juegos es un claro ejemplo de madurez y desarrollo que kratos ha obtenido

    This game is EXCELLENT! Its very much like the first but improved and expanded upon without changing the formula. Its an immediate sequel thus you will need to have played the first one to know whats going on.

    I am not going to spoil anything but I will say this is one of my favorite representations of Norse mythology ever done that I can think of. Yes, Santa Monica took some liberties but it is amazing. The acting, writing, and overall performance is top tier. Especially with the phenomenal graphics.

    Combat is more fluid than the first (GoW 4 technically). Just feels a bit tighter and cleaner. The weight from impacts is still solid and amazing.

    The amount of Accessibility options is amazing BUT I wished there were 2 more settings:

    - Puzzle Hints from NPCs: Default, Delayed, Delayed+, OFF
    - Gyro Aim (Motion Controls) ON all the time

    Atreus and Mimir give hints way too quickly in the game for puzzles. This was annoying. Same problem happened with Horizon FW but if I recall they eventually patched a slider for adjusting this in their Accessibility options. GoW needed the same.

    Gyro Aim is an EXCELLENT addition for ranged combat and makes it much more responsive and intuitive like if you were using a mouse. Im a main Gyro Aim user and so I extremely appreciate this addition. The implementation was excellent and feels great. My only suggestion is to have a Gyro ON all the time with Flick Stick. This is incredibly responsive and my go to method.

    None the less, AMAZING game.

    I have mixed feelings
    At First the game was addictive and attracting, I had the same feelings when I started playing witcher 3, but after 12-14 hours the passion dropped...
    Character development + Story are great but the combat unfortunately is not... Keratosis is heavy and slow but atreus is combat is much better and quicker.
    Game is fun but could've been better!

    A game worthy of being one of the best games of all time. With the combat, it felt very smooth and very significant to master. with all weapons, you can learn combos with all weapons and really feel purpose with every attack you use. The story is one of the best and most memorable stories I've ever played. Being a big fan of the story games, this was really a lot more than I expected.A game worthy of being one of the best games of all time.

    Es un juego más de la franquicia más sobrevalorada del mundo de los videojuegos solo por ser exclusiva de Sony, si fuera por ejemplo de Microsoft o Nintendo, no sería tan exageradamente aclamado.

    A very good game nonetheless. When i started playing it felt more of the same (GOW 2018) but that's not necessarily a bad thing. To be honest i expected "more" in terms of graphics and dualsense utilisation. Combat felt somehow slow in the beginning but as the game progresses and Kratos unlocks new skills, it comes to the right pace. The cutscenes, voice-overs and set pieces are top-notch.A very good game nonetheless. When i started playing it felt more of the same (GOW 2018) but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    Im halfway through, and so far, this seems like the perfect sequel to 2018’s God of War. The interactions between the characters, the story, the traversal, the combat and the skill tree all seem like they were upgraded.

    The love Santa Monica has with this saga shows, and this feels like a masterpiece, cant wait to finish the game, just so I can restart it again!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The ironwood part killed my soul, jokes beside the game is good combat is good, new areas are good, some of the side missions are fun to play, cinematography in this game is real good and exacting to watch but the main story, when i finished the main story i felt like i watched a marvel movie or something i dont know how did they make a boring Ragnarok story but the story is boring, it didnt feel like a god of war game and combat is still the same with the game when came on 2018. I can see there is few new abilitys but it doesnt change the gameplay and the enemys is just a copy paste from the first game even the finishing animations are the same. Before i played this game i expected so much but in the end it is still a good game but not a great game it would be much better if the game used the potential of what could be and last i want to say if this game is good it's because it's the first game released in 2018.

    De los mejores juegos de todos los tiempos, buena banda sonora, buenos graficos, enemigos variados, una Muy buena historia.
    Realmente me encanta la evolucion de lo que una vez fue un personaje muy cruel y despiadado que no le importaba nada, a uno que es capaz de proteger con su vida lo que le importa y su desarrollo en esta saga fue de los mas espléndido, sinceramente 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An underwhelming experience, the game is fundamentally identical to the first with a few minor changes to the UI.

    The exact same combos on all of Kratos weapons. including light and heavy runic attacks, recycled from GoW 2018. Where 2018 god of war had puzzles to break up the fast pace of the action, Ragnarok feels like it has puzzles to barrage you with dialogue or to fill out a 25 hour game.

    The first 5 or so hours of this game were a legitimate slog to get through, I quickly realised Kratos' moves and toolkit had not been updated at all. From this point you play as Atreus, which is a slog on its own, he is agile but hits like a wet noodle and is overall not fun to handle, particularly on higher difficulty. Atreus is yet another slog to play through.

    As a whole the game feels more bogged down by puzzles, the pace of the game has slowed down drastically and it is not a positive. Shortly after playing as Atreus your receive the draupnir, the weapon itself is not fun to handle at all, and once again forces you to slow down your pace of play by adding yet another mechanic that slows down the game.

    Not to mention the price tag 125 AUD for what is effectively a 25 hour dlc, which could ultimately be cut down to a few hours of cutscenes. The interesting part of this game is the story and the game seems hell bent on making it as painful as possible to get to it. The graphics in this game are incredible, just a waste they didn't update anything else. Strong 7/10

    Really bummed by this game, one giant cut scene and recycled everything from its predecessor. Critics are in recency bias mode no doubt, this one won’t age well.

    Idk why this masterpiece is rated so low. Definitely an upgrade from GoW 2018. Just don't expect a completely new game with mechanics never seen. It just takes the first game and makes it better, longer and overall more enjoyable.

    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.
