    In all honesty, haven't played a better game since God of war 1.
    Great story, great graphics and the gameplay is just a sick as in GOW1.

    I might add that I'm a fan of the series, but I never rate games. Made an exception for this one.

    The intro is amazing, really fast pace, it doesn't waste time to get the story going. The environments is vast and beautiful. I only wish this game was built for the PS5 as some of the textures and graphics looks like a PS4 game which it was built for that first. If you loved the previous game this is must, its a must buy!!

It somehow manages to improve on everything from God of War(2018) and offers some of the best story telling in gaming with just incredible presentation, animations, voice acting, soundtrack, gameplay, etc. I could rave about everything. I think this is officially the best God of War ever made and it’s not close.

The nine realms are a great world to traverse in. My favorite was Vanaheim. I would say almost everything in this game is superb besides a small but annoying problem with the combat, that sometimes you are stuck in an attack animation and the enemy keeps on his attack which makes it feel just stupid and not fair, But this is so small I wouldn't put a knock on the game over it.

    Let me start by saying, this is ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I have played.

    One the story front, it’s a direct continuation of the 2018 God of War game. So the initial moments does feel like the game you have already played, but once it takes off and new game-play elements are introduced it just feels fresh. To put it simply it’s a great story overall to experience that I won’t spoil further.    Let me start by saying, this is ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I have played.

    One the story front, it’s a direct continuation of the 2018 God of War game. So the initial moments does feel like the game you have already played, but once it takes off and new game-play elements are introduced it just feels fresh. To put it simply it’s a great story overall to experience that I won’t spoil further. The game is a graphical powerhouse on PS5, some designs like the Frozen Lake of Nine, Sindri's House, The Wall in Asgard etc are standout in my memory. Game play is total fun, some light puzzle elements for cool down time and the hack-slash combat is so much enjoyable to play. It really improves over the first game with lots of new enemy types, boss and mini-boss battles. Game has very nice difficult setting (I Played on Normal / Give me Balance) where the enemies provide a decent challenge, but if you do fair amount of Side missions / Favors and get gear upgrades, enemies are lot easier to defeat. The climax sequence for some non-stop action, that was epic. Main background score is retained from last game, which was great already hence no complaints. It’s a game with lots of cinematic elements where you see lots of cut-scenes, QTE in between which I enjoy actually; I understand some people may not like these.

    There are a couple of missions where we play as Atreus that slightly drags and feels lengthy, which is the only complaint for me in this game. But in the overall scheme of things, it’s minor and negligible.

    Just like the previous game, loved the way the side missions / favors are designed where you don't have go too much out of your path to play these and are nicely fit into the Areas you visit during story missions. Another great thing is the game’s attention the Lore. People who have read about Norse mythology will appreciate the game even more. All the dialogues during our travel between missions add so much detail and importance to the story, something which I truly admired.

    Overall it’s a fantastic journey to experience on the PS5. If you are a fan of the 2018 game, just do yourself a favor and BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!    … Expand

    Playing God of War Ragnarok has been an unforgettable experience. A closure open to individual interpretation but definitely sublime.

So at this point I would like to urge these people to relearn the craft of making reviews based on authentic professionalism, with analysis and objective comments as well as constructive suggestions about what a product like this or any other can offer. One thinks lightly, considering what the critic likes, but in this role, it is not about writing "what the critic likes or doesn't like" since by incurring in this practice, one is nothing more than a fanatic protected by a publishing firm or media outlet.

    I wasn't really sure how they were going to top GoW 2018, or how they would manage to cap off this storyline within two games, but Ragnarok turned out to be an incredible game that exceeded my expectations in every way.

    The combat overhaul and added verticality to level design managed to address most of the issues of the first game. They were more minor complaints for me, granted, but seeing that addressed, seeing a dedicated button added to give your attacks more elemental damage, being able to strike from above, the tweaks to the Spartan Rage system, other upgrades that shall not be mentioned here for the sake of Spoilers... all were great choices that culminated in an amazing gameplay experience.

    The narrative... it's hard to get into that without spoilers, but the way they managed to weave the storyline together in the main missions so masterfully, while enhancing it in side missions in such a way that it adds to and enriches the story without locking anything crucial to it behind them is just plain amazing. The ending feels like such a satisfying conclusion both for this story arc and for Kratos' arc in general that, even though I do hope for more, they could honestly just end the franchise here and it would feel complete.

    This game is EXCELLENT! Its very much like the first but improved and expanded upon without changing the formula. Its an immediate sequel thus you will need to have played the first one to know whats going on.

    I am not going to spoil anything but I will say this is one of my favorite representations of Norse mythology ever done that I can think of. Yes, Santa Monica took some liberties but it is amazing. The acting, writing, and overall performance is top tier. Especially with the phenomenal graphics.

    Combat is more fluid than the first (GoW 4 technically). Just feels a bit tighter and cleaner. The weight from impacts is still solid and amazing.

    The amount of Accessibility options is amazing BUT I wished there were 2 more settings:

    - Puzzle Hints from NPCs: Default, Delayed, Delayed+, OFF
    - Gyro Aim (Motion Controls) ON all the time

    Atreus and Mimir give hints way too quickly in the game for puzzles. This was annoying. Same problem happened with Horizon FW but if I recall they eventually patched a slider for adjusting this in their Accessibility options. GoW needed the same.

    Gyro Aim is an EXCELLENT addition for ranged combat and makes it much more responsive and intuitive like if you were using a mouse. Im a main Gyro Aim user and so I extremely appreciate this addition. The implementation was excellent and feels great. My only suggestion is to have a Gyro ON all the time with Flick Stick. This is incredibly responsive and my go to method.

    None the less, AMAZING game.    … Expand

    God of War Ragnarök is everything you could possibly want from a sequel. I was blown away by the craft - it is exceptional video game production. The story, the characters, the environments, the combat, as well as the performances are all top tier across the board. This is another must-play from Santa Monica Studio.

    Amazing game with amazing character development. Gameplay hasn't changed much, but you don't change a winning formula. They have added a lot more enemies and bosses. Everything they did in the previous title they expended upon. I even choked up a couple times during the story. The voice acting is just too good.
    If you liked GoW 2018 then you will love this game.

    O jogo é absolutamente incrível. O combate é frenético, e esta melhor que o de 2018, A história é excelente. Os gráficos são muito bons, e seriam melhores se fosse apenas do PS5, mas, entendo a estratégia da Sony. Ainda não acabei, mas, posso dizer que esta um pouco a frente de Elden Ring (outro excelente jogo) e deve ganhar o goty. Mas, se ER ganhar não vou ficar chateado.

    The perfect sequel. This game improves on almost everything from god of war 2018.

    The combat has been better balanced and given even more complexity. Some overpowered skills have been removed and changed to fit the combat system better, this makes all the weapons feel equally amazing and weapon switching is better than ever. The weapons also have allot of complexity to themselves with    The perfect sequel. This game improves on almost everything from god of war 2018.

The weapons also have allot of complexity to themselves with all the skills and combos you can pull off so the game really rewards learning each weapon. They have added an enemy attack which you have to shield bash to escape.

    One big weakpoin of the 2018 game was enemy variety but that is not something you are going to have to worry about in ragnarok. There is a huge amount of enemies and they all feel unique and different so you can come up with different ways to handle them.

    The story and character development are even better than gow 2018 which already had a great story and character development.

    The world is way bigger in this game, you can visit all the realms and there is allot of stuff to do and explore.

    My only gripe with the game is the resource collection and gear upgrading system. It can definetly get better. The way you have to collect sertain materials from chests feel verry unrewarding due to you needing rare materials to upgrade your gear. These rear material can only be found in certain areas of different levels, this makes looting allot of areas kind of useless since you will only get lower level mats that you already have there. For example, i spent hours looting every chest i could see only to realise that i still havent got a single of the rare materials i need. This could definetly be simplifed or at least smoothed out, i dont want to have a million hacksilver and still no way to upgrade, it just becomes frustrating.

    The way gear upgrading works isnt great either, you have a gear score level which will decide how much damage you deal to enemies. If they are a hihger level than you then you will deal less damage regardless of your stats just because you dont have a high enough gear score.

    In the end the resource collection and gear upgrading system is just a minor gripe of mine, i wanted to mention it though since i hope that this is something santa monica studios can improve for their next 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.
