    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yet another game trying to be a movie. Typical of Sony nowadays. This game is not the last of us or uncharted but it easily could be. Cutscenes all over the place, I lost interest very quickly as the game was nothing new and I could of easily been playing the original Gow.… Expand

    The game is far from the that great as someone says it is. Very overrated. Graphics and gameplay are average at best. Look at Elden Ring.

    Had potential to be a great game, but with Santa Monica hiring female and lbgtq developers, they've turned our favorite badass into a soft daddy who doesn't like to kill. He's now weak and feminine. Basically same thing that happened to WoW.

    Dear AAA developers,
    Please make your npcs shut the hell up. This game is literally hand hold simulator. Deveiopers treat u like baby. They do not believe the player can solve simple puzzle or notice any detail on screen!
    I'm giving Gow Ragnarok award for most underwhelming experience of 2022

    Nothing but a SJW God of war 2018 DLC. Extremely sad. I really wanted to like this game. Not sure if the old creative director left but it feels that this was not made by the same people who brought God of war 2018.

    The overall impression of this game is really really bad.

    The story is lack luster and kratos (who is a very ugly character with an even uglier personality) son is the most annoying part of this game. The combat system is as dull as in every other hack and slay game and the puzzle sections are just pathetically easy and made for kids of age 6!

    I don't know how biased or addicted to fentanyl people can be to rate this game higher than a 0 tbh.

    The management and the devs should be ashamed of themselves and all the studios involved should disband to make sure that less people are being harmed by their products in the future.    … Expand

Antes de la nueva partida plus merece un 9, lo jugué como 10 veces seguidas, y disfrutsbs con los jefes finales. Sin embargo en la nueva partida + mi valoración es un -9, ya q de nada te sirve llevar las armaduras y armas al nivel 10, me fui a por la reina gna, a la que vencia fácilmente y mis armas solo le hacían caricias y mis armaduras no me daban protección, intente probar con un jefe berseker en que Luchas contra 3 a la vez, y lo mismo. No me dieron problemas en la versión primera, pero en la nueva partida + son invencibles y kratos muy muy débil. He desinstalado el juego, y es el último título de la saga que comprare ( he jugado todos en playststion, y hasta la versión 2028 - la mejor en pc tambien). No me gusta el enfoque de la nueva partida plus en ragnsrok, pues en la versión 2018 notabas más facilidad para derrotar a las valkirias con las armaduras +, ahora el personaje kratos vuelve muy miy débil en el nivel 10 y los jefes como la reina gna y el rey berseker suyos solo para jugadores profesionales. God ofcwar deja de ser un título apto para todo jugador y solo apto para jugadores muy muy buenos. No comprare ningún título más de god of war.… Expand

    God of War Ragnarok: A Disappointing Sequel
    The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War game has finally arrived, and unfortunately, it falls short of expectations.

    The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War game has finally arrived, and unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. While the game boasts impressive graphics and an epic story, its lackluster gameplay and repetitive combat mechanics make it a frustrating experience for players.

    One of the major issues with God of War Ragnarok is its pacing. The game takes far too long to get going, and the slow buildup of the story and character development feels tedious. When the action finally picks up, it's often interrupted by lengthy cutscenes that detract from the immersion.

    The combat system, while flashy, lacks depth and variety. Players are often forced to rely on the same few moves and button combinations to dispatch enemies, leading to a repetitive and dull experience. Additionally, the game's difficulty spikes are inconsistent and can be frustratingly unfair.

    Another issue is the lack of innovation in the game. While God of War Ragnarok introduces some new mechanics, such as exploration and puzzle-solving elements, they feel tacked-on and underdeveloped. The game also fails to address some of the criticisms of its predecessor, such as the lack of boss variety and a meaningful progression system.

    Overall, God of War Ragnarok is a disappointing sequel that fails to live up to its predecessor. While it has some redeeming qualities, such as its stunning visuals and epic story, its lackluster gameplay and underdeveloped mechanics make it a lackluster experience for fans of the series.    … Expand

    Bugged out after a death without having the option to interact with required function and so I had to reset the game several times.

    The combat is soggy and unenjoyable outside of the easiest difficulty for the lack of controls to parry from behind and ruins the fluidity of the game.

    In the vast landscape of gaming, expectations loom large. Anticipation can often overshadow the product itself. "God of War Ragnarok" is a lamentable example of when such promises not only fall flat but tumble into an abyss of mediocrity.

    From its onset, the game grapples with an identity crisis. Gone is the gravitas of Kratos, replaced with a caricature of his former self. The brooding god, once a paragon of rage and redemption, now seems lost, adrift in a sea of incongruous plotlines and half-baked character arcs.

    Graphically, one would expect a sequel to leverage advancements in technology. Sadly, "Ragnarok" appears to be stuck in time. The once pristine landscapes of Midgard are marred by texture pop-ins, and character models, surprisingly, lack the attention to detail the previous installment was lauded for. Interactions with the world around you feel stilted, a far cry from the dynamic and responsive environment of its predecessor.

    Narratively, the game falters with every step. The plot is a labyrinthine mess of convoluted sub-stories, none of which seem to resonate or culminate in anything meaningful. What was once a poignant tale of father and son is now overshadowed by a cacophony of irrelevant side quests and banal dialogues.

    Combat, the series' backbone, feels sluggish and unresponsive. The visceral fluidity of the earlier game's combat system is replaced with a clunky mechanism that often feels like a chore rather than an exhilarating dance of death.

    It's truly disheartening to witness such a fall from grace. A franchise that once stood as a beacon of storytelling and gameplay innovation now stands as a cautionary tale of squandered potential.

    In conclusion, "God of War Ragnarok" is a disservice to its legacy. It's a jumbled mosaic of misplaced ambitions and underwhelming execution. One can only hope that the series finds its way back to the pantheon of gaming greats in future iterations.    … 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.
