    Without a doubt, I did not think that this saga would surprise me again as it did in 2018, but how my mouth shut up! The truth is, it is a wonderful game that shines in its artistic section, soundtrack, immense history, It is undoubtedly a masterpiece that will close for a long time, Santa Monica has done it again.

    I love this game! It adds so much more to the story, and adds just enough to game play to make it not too much of a repeat of GOW 2018. The graphics, and moCAP is top notch, as well as the acting by oll of the old and new characters. This should have been game of the year IMO, but nonetheless it's my top game ive played in 2022!

Even though they are are smaller improvements it overall makes a noticeable difference. Gorgeous graphics, great artstyle this game is a looker.

    I did see some of the more median and lower review scores and find it silly with some of the comments made. This game did not need to change the formula, several reviews saying it feels like dlc is just not a well thought out comment. They kept what worked and improved upon everything and overall it made the game an even more premium package. GOTY and a truly memorable experience. One of those games that you finish and feel like your life feels a little empty.

Depois de tantos jogos, a história ainda continua interessante, o único ponto negativo é que God of War elevou tanto o nível dos inimigos que todo final teria que ser épico, o que não acontece aqui, de um ponto de vista narrativo faz sentido, é uma puta evolução de personagens, só que para quem espera algo semelhante aos clássicos e até mesmo o de 2018 não é esse o caso. Mais no geral eu gostei, teve algumas mudanças e aprimoramentos em relação ao de 2018 que foram legais, muito provavelmente a gameplay dos próximos terão um punch maior tanto na história quanto na gameplay, o que infelizmente não deve chegar a antiga geração. Ansioso para a continuação ou um remake dos clássicos. Eu platinei o jogo. Expand

    Non, ce n'est pas un God Of War 1.5. Une toute nouvelle aventure narrative au coeur d'un père et d'un fils en quête de sa vérité. Atrius pour les plus proches et Loky pour son cheminement personnel. Une production digne d'une autre suite épique.

    Un chef d'oeuvre époustouflant

    Non, ce n'est pas un God Of War 1.5. Une toute nouvelle aventure narrative au coeur d'un père et d'un fils en quête de sa vérité. Atrius pour les plus proches et Loky pour son cheminement personnel. Une production digne d'une autre suite épique. Jratos, Atrius et Mimir vivront des chamboulements importants vis à vis le Ragnarok.

    Des personnages sans détour que l'on aimera et d'autres, que l'on detestera. Comme quoi le scénario était mise en oeuvre par les acteurs est une réussite majeure.

    Les animations sont au coeur d'une réussite flamboyante. Les armes, la manipulation de ceux-ci et Permet de structurer soigneusement ses statistiques selon le rendement choisi. Des créatures mythiques aux ennemis redoutables, les combats sont vifs et nerveux. De nouveaux personnages rejoindront l'histoire. En somme, la beauté des royaumes ne laissèrent personne indifférent. God of War Ragnarok n'est pas une suite 1.5 et l'histoire ne permet pas de s'attendre à chaque tournure d'événements. Dommage que le titre ait été vendu par des personnes sans respects pour les joueurs et pour l'entreprise Danata Monica. C'est une honte à ceux et celles qui ont publié sur les médias sociaux le contenu de ce titre avant sa sortie le 9 novembre 2022.

    J'ai au compteur près de 70 heures pour platine le titre. Veuillez noter que la particularité d de ce titre permet de modifier la difficulté du jeu en tout temps. Une nouveauté pouvant être utilse aux nouveaux explorateurs des neufs royaumes.

    Félicitations pour les nombreux awards reçu pour Santa Monica. Bravo à votre équipe, une expérience sans équivoque au delà des attentes après celui de 2018. Bravo!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most well written stories in games. Kratos after years of rage and fighting, had finally been able to settle down, with a wife who guided him through his pain and regrets. Now, Kratos has to go to war again, and worst of all, see his son go through it. He fears that Atreus will go down the same path as his, and it is amazing to see their journey.
    The gameplay is a really great improvement, it feels more responsive and faster, parrying is really fun, and all the weapons complement each other amazingly well (sometimes in game development, less is more, so 1 new perfect weapon is way better than a dozen mediore ones). Admitedly, the fights thoughout the story are not that challenging, even less so if you are exploring as much as possible. You can get to Odin with so much great gear that he becomes really easy on the normal difficulty (which I believe to be fair, if you are playing on normal and prepare more than avarage, then you should have an easier time). However, there are many fun challenges in the game, the valkyries are gone, but there are Berserkers that have really cool fights.
    I think this is really one of the best experiences on games right now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my Game of The Year!

    So, I've just finished the main story of God of War Ragnarok and it has exceeded my high expectations in just about every way. The combat was never in doubt but they managed to improve upon that by making you more mobile and it gives you a lot of options on how to dismantle enemies. The puzzles were fine and not terribly difficult or too easy and the visuals were all around great. The score is one of the best I've heard in a game in quite some time and it really emphasizes the emotional beat of the story and it can make
    You feel like The God of War. As for characters they're all very interesting and unique and I found myself enjoying all of the dialog options when I was given a chance to interact with them. The acting was superb and the writing was well done. The biggest takeaway from the game is that it has a lot a fun and unique enemies that always keeps thing interesting and fun to fight. There were a few minor bugs I encountered one was during a cutscene where a character was dying and the floor was invisible and that took me out of the immersion and hinder my emotions. And I did feel that the story did drag just a bit, but it does help that they were fun missions to play. Now down to some real SPILERS. So, this game focuses a lot on atreus a.k.a Loki. It's similar to how The Last of Us Part II did it but it was a billion times better. You get to play as him every now and then and he was my favorite to play as, because he has the fluid nature and a very cool ability to turn in a Wolf and a bear that can tear you enemies apart. He also has some potential love interest or just a cool companion in a new character called Angrboòa. Now Odin was a really compelling and formidable foe. His reason wasn't too bad, because all he want was information but the we he went about it was wrong and caused a lot if death around him. Now, turns out he was more of a trickster because he made himself look like Tyr who was allies with Kratos and Atreus but like Loki from the MCU he can shape-shift and that ended up causing the death of Brok who was one of the dwarfs. Now I could sit here and right another 3 to 4 paragraphs but I'm not that guy. So my final score is a 98/100. It is very much worth the time and money especially if you enjoyed 2018s God of War or if you have a PS5.

    Gameplay is better, more variety overall, and other characters to play as and with other than Kratos. There are so many upgradable things for your skills. And magic abilities.

    For the story, no spoilers, everything that was left a question in the prior game are all answered and engaging to see what happens next. The pacing was good better than the first game. Everything makes sense as you progress through the story not many plot holes.

    The game did not force me to do any side missions. I strictly did the main story, and was capable of finishing it. I still progressed becoming a stronger Kratos at the end.

    Emotions in the story had a solid foundation each chapter was building up to an important scene or scenes in each characters personal development. Everyone had a different path.

    Lastly, enemy variety was one of the strengths of this great game. Each realm had its own unique enemy variety boss types. It felt fresh every time, and sometimes it was challenging. I played on, give me balance difficulty mode.

    All in all, fantastic game the characters had so much depth to them. Each character had their own unique ability throughout the story. It made me so happy and smiled. At times you can tell the developers really put a lot of time and effort and hard work into this project. Good job Santa Monica studios.

At the end Atreus makes his own choice and Kratos respects him. Long story short thank you for such a game!!!! Expand

    Bravo Sony Santa Monica, bravo. I enjoyed every minute of the game listened to every dialog. It was a great journey. I had high very expectations and you delivered. That happens very seldom. Worth every penny.

A tear in my eye, a smile on my face, and a white spot in my pants. My absolute wonder as the story reached new heights of story-telling, new innovation in the combat, and absolutely stunning voice-acting is simply too great to even explain. The playability even after the game is completed is about as good as 2018, with the optional bosses not being as great. Everything about this game is what I would have hoped for, and even more. Simply stunned. 10/10. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far only about 12 hours in and this game is incredible. They improved everything that was wrong with the 2018 game, which wasn’t much. In the first 5 hours, there were already more enemy types and boss fights than there were in the last game. The traversal is improved and it feels smoother. The story so far is good. Boss fight with Thor is probably the greatest boss fight I have ever played in a video game. Gameplay is improved overall imo and the sections with Atreus are amazing and unique but a little boring at times. I guess that’s my only criticism right now, that and lack of stun finishers. I also love the more rpg feel of this game where you have more skills, more abilities, and more weapon options. Can’t wait to finish this incredible game. Expand

    Lejos el mejor juego de los últimos años. Se mire desde donde se lo mire. Un 94 es muy injusto si tenemos en cuenta la nota que le pusieron el año pasado a un early access como Halo infinite. Pero bueno...así son las cosas...

    I don't think this game is an actual 10 out of 10, but it's easily a 9+. There is no universe where a game like this is a 0 out of 10. We've entered a world where "normal" people are less trustworthy than critics. There's a 3rd weapon. New substats and gear customization that actually encourages different builds.

There is no universe where a game like this is a 0 out of 10. We've entered a world where "normal" people are less trustworthy than critics. There's a 3rd weapon. New substats and gear customization that actually encourages different builds. Different status effects. More companion power. Different charge features for all weapons. Upgrades for individual move sets (which encourages you to learn and use every move, and not spam). Almost every criticism raised against this game is extremely hyperbolic, or just a lie. Also, Toby from West Wing I'd the villain, so maybe this is a 10 out of 10 game... 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.

    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.
