For people who expected a whole new different game are huge dumbasses because what changes you want more?, it's a full sequel made in the same sauce, just grow up. Very nice Sony, good games as always. People need to understand that all the games needs the same amount of respect, for the game and for the developers. 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

    No words can describe how great this game was. Amazing cast of characters, satisfying combat, amazing visuals and atmosphere and a lot of cool minibosses. This was such an epic conclusion to Kratos and Atreus story. 10/10.

    Me lo he pasado increíble jugando a este título. Los doblajes buenísimos, me encanta la evolución de los personajes, los mapas de los mundos y que siempre haya algo que hacer, es imposible aburrirse, me ha ido de 10 en PS5, ningún fallo reseñable. Muy recomendado.

    I am not sure how this does not have a perfect 10. I play a lot of games and this is one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life. This game does everything the first God of War did but much more and everything extra I was praying for.

    To start off I played this on the ps4 which handles it honestly fine and that is shocking. The load times while not fun were workable. I am    I am not sure how this does not have a perfect 10.

    To start off I played this on the ps4 which handles it honestly fine and that is shocking. The load times while not fun were workable. I am sure it is much more handsome on the ps5.

    This game has a story that really grabbed me more than any book, movie or any other game. Being a direct sequel to the other games in the series it continues and grabs you so fast. You see Kratos doing and saying things you would never expect but they are in character and they do a good job following how he would act as he is growing as a person / god. His son has grown a lot to into a character I really like.

    You get to play as both of these characters and even though you do not play as the son as much he is still a fun character to play as. He has good moves, attacks and solid storytelling. The new characters introduced are all fantastic and just fun to interact with and hear what they think. The extra dialogue is so fantastic to hear. I loved every moment of everything this game had to offer.

    So my big wish was more killing animations. This game offers A LOT more than id ever dreamed of. Every weapon has unique kills, then there are special kills with your rage meter, and lastly, the boss kills are *FANTASTIC*.

    I am pleased at everything there was offered in this game and honestly, I did not even want to beat it. I was sad at the thought of completing the game. I did though and now im working on getting all the trophies. The game opens up after you beat it and you can't miss any trophies which is great.

    I can't wait till it comes out on pc!    … Expand

    I didn't even finish it yet but Ragnork is barely perfect, and that coming from someone who would give the first game an 8. It is unbelievable how they make Kratos interact with a talking squirrel without that looking foolish. Every hour in the gameplay blows my mind with innovative stuff. Wow. Wow. WOW. Ragnarok might knock RDR2 from my pole. Amazing!

    -Combat very fluid and fast, very dinamic, similar to 2018.(SPOILER ALERT) the draupnir spear is satisfactory, and in beginning with Atreus I thought it was very bad, but I was wrong, Atreus is stylish.

Would definitely recommend as God Of War is a phenomenal game franchise and if this is your first game (which i would definitely recommend GOW2018 first to lay out some context) it will definitely keep you yearning for more. 10/10 combat and side missions and that is what makes it a 10 even if in my opinion in comparison to GOW2018 it is a 8/10 story. The side missions are LARGE and a couple of them would even pass off as a main story mission in alot of games.… Expand

    I've been playing this game since its launch and its story is so well done that I just have time and start playing it. Another fact is that in terms of graphics it is the best of now and it is that for example the snow in this game is the one that acts in a more realistic way that I have seen even much better than the snow of red redemption 2.

В финальной битве с Одином нет такого соперничества и "мяса", как в битве с тором.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do not hand out 10’s lightly however God of War deserved it in my opinion. Never has a game gotten me to fly out of my seat in excitement and stand to finish the game. God of War: Ragnarök took what was great about the 2018 reboot and continued forward. The combat may have felt stale to others which I understand. To me the combat felt similar but I enjoyed that combat so much previously that I did not mind. They made changes and included old runic attacks into the normal combos, one of which was my old favorite move for the leviathan axe. The thing that made it better in my opinion was a return to brutality in the finisher. Watching Kratos chop an enemy with the axe, kick them into the air spinning, and cleave them in two was a return to the old god of war we knew. Especially ripping enemies apart with the blades of chaos. The exploration aspect remains with plenty of side objectives to conquer as well. These added plenty to the lore of the story and characters. I found the interactions between the characters more humorous and charming seeing how they have bonded over the years between games. Now, the part of this game that DESERVES the 10/10 is the story. This was truly a masterclass in narrative and storytelling. The moments, the music, the action. All of it compounded into a story that will be remembered fondly by all. The game may start slow to some, after an intro scene that is one of the greatest game intros to exist. Side note: if you’re reading this and are the genius developer that had the amazing idea in the first fight with Thor, bravo. The game eventually leads into its title event where I knew I could not put it down till it was over. Truly an amazing experience that I will look forward to playing again soon. If you enjoyed God of War 2018, you will most likely love this game as well. Congratulations to the dev team. Enjoy this story my friends.… Expand

    O jogo está incrível, a história te prende e a jogabilidade é excelente. Os gráficos poderiam ser melhores se o jogo não fosse crossgen, mas mesmo assim são muito bonitos e isso não prejudica a experiência. Muito legal terem colocado as lâminas do caos pra acessar lugares mais altos usando a corrente como uma corda.

    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.
