    Un 10 es una nota muy complicada de poner ya que la perfección es un concepto abstracto pero me cuesta visualizar un juego mejor acabado que este.
    Despunta a todos los niveles y mejora la entrega anterior, por eso desde mi punto de vista tiene mi 10.

    God of war Ragnarök is the definition of a sequel and the ultimate advertisement for how far gaming has come. It is the block buster that puts to shame corresponding productions of other branches of entertainment. With the the slightly lighter and more humorous approach to dialogue and its style in general, the title is better in every other aspect than its predecessor.

    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.

    reseña personal con 41 horas de juego sacando el final con los créditos en PlayStation 5.

    el cierre y el fin de una era se va con este juego, vivirá por siempre en mi memoria hasta el final de mis días.

    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.

    la dirección de arte es hermosa, cada uno de los paisajes desde midgard hasta asgard son un deleite para la vista.

    gráficos, al ser un juego que esta hecho para la generación pasada en PlayStation 4, se le dio un gran tratamiento en PlayStation 5 a un framerate de 80 a 90 con VRR.

    es literalmente el juego perfecto.

    A masterpiece just like it's predecessor. Highly recommend everyone play this game if they have not done so yet. Epic storytelling, epic gameplay combined with some of the most well written characters in video game history comes together to produce one of the greatest games of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muy buen juego, me gustó más que el 2018. El plano secuencia es agradable.. y en lo personal no soy de hacer muchas secundarias pero estas son muy entretenidas que sueño perderme por ahí haciéndolas sin darme cuenta que son secundarias. Muy buen juego la verdad. Expand

    "We must be better" - Kratos. This sequel does exactly that as it draws the norse saga to a close for the ghost of sparta as him and Atreus journey through a truly unforgettable adventure throughout the 9 realms.

The way they intertwine their creativity towards norse mythology by curating and writing the stories in unique ways that fit the purpose of the narrative while still representing the original norse scriptures correctly was done in a very thoughtful manner and was an epic experience. Santa Monica have really exhausted their skills into crafting this masterpiece and their passion and hardwork is seen through and through this game. Would definitely recommend this title to anyone who hasn't grabbed it on the PS5 yet as it is 100% a must have running silky smooth on the system or to anyone that enjoyed the 2018 game as this is basically that but dialled up to 1000. This is definitely GOTY for me hands down. Expand

    Clearly all the really low reviews are to bomb this game. It's a shame, but that's fanboys & the crazy world we live in. This game is a step above the first game and the fact that it is nominated for GOTY and it just recently dropped should tell u all u need to know. Nothing will beat Elden Ring but this game is close.

    I just don't know how Santa Monica keeps pushing it's limits. This game improves upon everything it's prequel did, and it definetly is improving on one of the best games ever made. Better combat, bigger realms, exquisite story telling. This game has it all. A super masterpiece!

    Thrilling combat, stunning visuals and amazing boss battles.
    But most importantly, a masterclass in storytelling in a video game: capable of making you laugh and cry.
    There are some problems with the pacing in the first half, but the final act more than makes up for it with intense action and touching moments.
    Possibly the best game I played in the last five years.

    To surpass the already phenomenal 2018 God of War is in itself saying a lot. And that game was also a 10/10. If you liked 2018 GoW, then this is a must play. Everything is better in this game in comparison. Combat is fluid, the narrative is gripping and intriguing. The characters are very well written and performed. Visuals are great. Way better than 2018 GoW but you do see why this isTo surpass the already phenomenal 2018 God of War is in itself saying a lot. And that game was also a 10/10.

Art direction is otherworldly.. literally. The artists that worked on this all deserve a raise. Actually everyone that contributed to this game deserves a raise. Great OST & sound design.
    This is my favorite Norse interpretation by far and probably my favorite GoW game to date. 10/10

    Самый настоящий восторг! Я многого ожидал от этой игры, но даже представить не мог, что будет настолько круто. Перипетии сюжета, персонажи, великолепные диалоги - всё на высшем уровне. Эта игра пробудила во мне множество эмоций, заставляла улыбаться или чувствовать ком в горле. Она навсегда в моём сердце, рядом с лучшими играми всех времён. Спасибо!

    While by the end of the main story its clear the game was actually planned as a trilogy, the landing of the ending and the culmination of the Norse Saga was well executed. We can only wonder where the story will go from here

    This game had a lot to prove following up one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time and that it did. One of the best stories ever told in a video game, the best graphics a game can offer, breathtaking music, and gameplay which will keep you glued to the screen, this is truly one of the best games ever made.

    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.
