There are some minor flaws but don't affect your gameplay.The switch between characters is so refreshing. Level design and character design is very eye catching.

    Apart from the story, the game mechanics are extremely satisfying. It is a relativity difficult game, and you may die a lot, but when you nailed the fight you feel rewarded by your efforts. The haptic feedback is glorious and imo helps a lot with the immersion. I never felt frustrated by repeating the fight if I died.
    It is quite remarkable of how much Santa Monica Studios put into this game in merely 3 years of development.
    I highly recommend everyone to play it, as you won't feel disappointed

    Die Erfolge sind gut platziert und ausgearbeitet. Vieles kommt nebenbei, wenn man einfach nur alle Ecken erkundet. Platin zu holen war eine Freude und keine Arbeit!
    Spiel hat auch einiges an Zugänglichkeitsfeatures, damit das Spiel so viele Spieler wie möglich erleben können.

    Kampfsystem ist wieder richtig gut und man das kloppen macht einfach Spaß. Treffer sind auch ordentlich wuchtig.
    Auch in dem Teil ist der Kampf gegen die Spezialgegner mega. Im vorherigen Teil waren es Walküren und in diesem Teil …. Pssst :)

    I just finished taking out all of the super bosses. I've done nearly everything in this game and can thus say how excellent this game is. The story has staying power, deep themes of redemption and healing, some of the best acted scenes I've ever seen in a videogame, and ridiculously well done characters. Every character has their time to shine and meaningful growth. Many of the scenesI just finished taking out all of the super bosses.

The emotions of this story have stayed with me for weeks following the release and once New Game Plus is released, I can easily see myself playing through this game another four times.
    If you want complex gameplay, Ragnarok has it. If you want vast worlds to explore, this game knocks it out of the park with numerous worlds to explore. If you want a game with memorable boss fights, I lost track of how many main bosses and side bosses there were. There is variety, there is wonder, and there is so very much that Ragnarok offers you. After this masterpiece, I am more than willing to wait another five years before the next God of War if it's anywhere near this good.

    God of war ragnarok is a masterpiece. It has loveable characters, incredible world design, and it is all topped of with one of the most cinematic ending in all of gaming

    This game is in every way better than the original (2018), and that’s saying a lot! From the story, characters, side quests, and the level design are phenomenal. This game was well worth the wait! I’m not even all the way through yet, but I know this will continue to be great all the way through. You can tell the genuine effort and love that was put into this game.

    I understand that some people would have trouble sitting through Atreus temper tantrums, and want to slap the kid silly at times. I'm with you right there, but that's what kids are known for. So I'd rather praise Santa Monica for making such a realistic great character that get under my
    The tallest trees catch the most wind. All these negative reviews, especially 0 are beyond a joke.

    I understand that some people would have trouble sitting through Atreus temper tantrums, and want to slap the kid silly at times. I'm with you right there, but that's what kids are known for. So I'd rather praise Santa Monica for making such a realistic great character that get under my nails at times, then deprive myself of (one of) Kratos's best game. Seeing my man's story go full circle and his incredible character development over 15+ years does make even men like myself reaching near 40 burst out in tears.

    Also, the combat can be certainly frustating at times. But it's funny that people lay the fault at their terrible decision making which can lead to you getting owned quickly on the combat system. The combat can be as great as you want to make it. Yeah Kratos ain't stopping mid animation to dodge, but how is that wrong? And if you can't get the timing for parries, stand before the mirror that maybe you ain't that great of a gamer.

    Personally, I love the game to death. It's definitely goty material in my book. The story is amazing, the graphics are beautiful, with spectacular level designs. Maybe some are just getting too spoiled. I really don't know which games they are comparing it to for **** on the graphics. And the combat with it endless combinations can be addictive as hell as long as you want to keep bettering yourself. I certainly don't regret spending every penny I have on it, and the GoW controller that I purchased with it.

    Another banger. I’m lost for words how these games are as good as they are. Generally I’m not that into Norse mythology but god of war makes me a fan and keen to learn more. Everything from the story to the gameplay to the graphics are a 10. Absolute joy to play and can’t wait for more

    So many awesome moments and one of the best opening for a game. Thor portrayal is one of my favourites I’ve ever seen in any medium. and Kratos and Atreus relationship is really testament how great the writing and storytelling of the game.

    An epic adventure that lives up to the name of the franchise and lives up to the hype of two years into its release. From the graphics and gameplay to its story, this game is simply a natural evolution to its predecessor, and expands the universe even further into the future.

    GOD OF WAR 1 & 2 Absolutely the best game I’ve ever played! I just finished Ragnarok and honestly this game is so good! Wish it never ended! Loved Kratos and Atreus. Atreus has grown so much it really feels as if he is your child to look after and protect but you also have to understand he is growing up this game has everything I hope there’s plenty more GOW in the near future. 10/10

    Excelente juego que mejora al juego anterior en todos los aspectos, la jugabilidad es entretenida y adictiva; excelente direccion de arte en cada uno de los escenarios, sonido impecable y mas con la mejora del sonido 3D, la historia logra transmitir muchas emociones aun mas si eres fan de la saga

    el comienzo es un juego excelente, las primeras horas están llenas de acción y escenas

    el comienzo es un juego excelente, las primeras horas están llenas de acción y escenas increíbles. Ragnarök es mucho mejor que el anterior: mucha más variedad de enemigos y zonas, su estilo de combate es más pulido y se siente excelente, justo lo que debe ser una secuela. Uno de los mejores juegos creados en lo que va de la década e incluso podría decir que de la historia, Santa Monica Studio nunca decepciona.

    Probably the best game I have ever played so far. Great story telling. Gameplay and combat are both engaging and rewarding. I can’t get enough of this masterpiece. Bad ratings on this game are hilarious and ridiculous. It certainly seems these trolls don’t have a life. Will it be our game of the year? Possibilities are high!!

    God of War Ragnarok is a perfect sequel, it expand 2018 game in every single aspect, new realms, better graphics, a better history, new mechanics and more bosses.

    The sequel did not disappoint, I will do without spoilers. The game logically completes the Scandinavian mythology, the plot is clear and good. There are intrigues, and tough fights, and a plot twist. If you like GOW 2018 then Ragnorek is required to pass

    Anyone who rates this game bellow 8 is out of their minds.
    This game is brilliant ! Even better than the first one and I can't wait for what we got installed for the next game.
    Once again Kratos did not disappoint and will probably Will win GOTY. Although Elden Ring has a good fan base the game is very niche and doesn't appeal to the majority of the audience like God of War does.

    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.
