    One of the best game in the game industry. Sony did it again and again. Thanks to the all producers who worked day and night for this masterpiece.

    God of war ragnarok is definitely a phenomenal game with fantastic combat and a brilliant story littered with twists and turns and brilliantly executed emotional moments. That being said I feel it to be a step back from the 2018 soft reboot in several ways. The combat feels less weighty and brutal with what seems to be a reduced number of options for each available weapon. The elementalGod of war ragnarok is definitely a phenomenal game with fantastic combat and a brilliant story littered with twists and turns and brilliantly executed emotional moments. That being said I feel it to be a step back from the 2018 soft reboot in several ways. The combat feels less weighty and brutal with what seems to be a reduced number of options for each available weapon. The elemental bow options also feel worse than those available last time out and the runic summons for the player are significantly weaker.
    In terms of the story while still phenomenal, I personally feel that the story can get lost in is own wake and struggles to hold its scale at times. This results in some character arcs not quite feeling as fulfilling as you would hope and some conclusions feeling a little underwhelming. That being said the set pieces these stories take place in are spectacular, all 9 realms feel like real places , not just levels, and so it's almost impossible not feel completely immersed in these lands. These realms being bookended with some of the best boss fights this side of Bloodborne certainly helps the levels reputation in mind too.

    Overall a game I do not regret a second of playing but definitely a weaker entry than its earlier installment but a top game none the less.

After I've read some of the negative reviews I still can't understand how people can be this stupid, it should be illegal to be this stupid. Anyway I hope Elden Ring and GOWR wins at many awards as possible, and for the GOTY it's definitely a competition, may the best one win. BTW how can people vote the game of the decade? Which decade? the last one or this one, it's just 2022, till 2030 it's a long road. Expand

The truth is that God of War Ragnarok looks pretty much like a DLC of the last game, graphics, mechanics, UI, gameplay, almost everything looks exactly the same. I mean, yeah, there are some additions there that are nice, for example the story, which is pretty good but a little worse than the last game, and we can control Atreus and also some new attacks and skills that we can use, but besides that it is the same game as God of War 2018. Also this game shares the same problems the last one did, like repetition of enemies (a bunch been the same enemies as the last game), extremely boring puzzles (again, i bunch of them just a copy and paste from the last game), and repetition in general, all whe have to do in this game is basically running, killing some creatures, solving puzzles and collecting some chest, that's it. Side quests are average, some characters are charismatic and fun, but many of them are shallow and uninteresting, and i feel the world is kinda dead, i mean, there are animals living there but they don't have a routine like in Red Dead Redemption, if you stand in front of them for 1 hour they'll do the same thing for 1 hour. Animations, direction, soundtrack and the art are top notch, but they were already in the past game and just remained the same, so. People love to complain that FIFA or COD are just a copy and paste game that releases every year, but i guess if the game is made by Sony then it is incredible, right? Expand

    Santa Monica Studios operates on a different realm altogether from human beings. Their games aren't even comparable to others, and a GOTY award would barely do it justice. Another masterpiece of untold brilliance in every aspect of the game.

    The good:
    New exclusive to PS5. The graphics look good and with some details. Some side quests are interesting. Continue the story of the 2018 game (Single dad throws axes)

    The bad:
    Very short drawing distance and supported by excessive blur and fog on the sides of the characters and close-ups. Companions and allies never shut up (talk and talk and talk more and you move forward and keep talking). The recycling of textures, effects and modeling of the 2018 game is noticeable. Advance on the map to inconsequential areas and moments. Fog in the background to cover lack and slow loads of objects and textures. Very continuous with respect to the 2018 game. Uninspired enemies. It seems more like a DLC for God of War 2018. Excess of in-game cinematics of characters and faces talking and talking. They are all the time giving the rattle with the theme of Ragnarok but as there is no countdown or indication of progress, it only remains as a curious anecdote. That I don't want to play with Atreus I don't care who he is, or who he is going to be or who he pretends to be. 10 USD extra pay to update the version to new generation, really?

    The Meh!:
    That yes, indeed, Kratos is brutal (but he does not recover the quality quotas of the first 3 canonical games) but his game is not the revolution that they promised and it only remained as a simplistic continuation. When he backs up, Kratos doesn't turn or look at the camera, he just walks backwards with his back turned which gives the impression that the modeling is a faceless back to save textures. Very rushed game that can give about 10-15 hours as an interactive movie and a lot of repetition (they don't get tired of talking). His enemies are uninspired especially that golem **** Lots of teasing and hee hee ha ha with Craig The Brute and it comes out here too, but there's no value in making jokes or memes about that enemy and his pitiful modeling

Immortal gods are made to deliver some of the strangest, most casual lines like walking into someone's home and saying "Nice place." or complaining about their "moms" and how typical they are. Words like yep, yeah, kinda, sorta, pretty are used just like in the modern day. This is a strong contrast versus the original trilogy, and 2018's God of War.

    Casual writing can have its place to break the tension or as comedic relief, but in Ragnarok the villains, main characters and side characters all engage in this kind of dialogue, making everything feel constantly comedic.

    The graphics are gorgeous and the combat remains as good as in the previous game, but a game this focused on dialogue and story leaves ultimately little of value when the writing fails this much.

    Bad-
    A few narrative missteps; Some technical issues.

    Thoughts-
    When a game is as good as God of War Ragnarok is though, its issues become much easier to ignore, and that’s certainly been my experience. Ragnarok is better than what I was expecting it to be, and I was expecting the world. It’s a stellar game that perfectly captures both, the scale and bombast of the older entries in the series, and the heart and grounded nature of God of War (2018). From beginning to end, it’s an exciting romp that delivers a steady stream of thrills, whether you’re going through its captivating story, engaging with its massively improved combat, or getting lost in the endlessly explorable and wonderfully designed Nine Realms of Norse mythology. It might seen like an iterative upgrade on paper, but it’s much more than that- not for the first time, a new God of War game has come along and set a new standard for the medium at large. Anyone with a passing interest in games has to play God of War Ragnarok.

    Disappointing on the PS5, it makes no use of the strong hardware of next-gen and traveling between realms is still 20-30 seconds which is a joke when it's near instant on Horizon, GoT and TLOU.

    Even non-PS5 games make and take advantage of the hardware, Ragnarok doesn't. It also copy pastes 70% of the previous game with more enemy variet and... snow.

    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.
