    El juego es una maravilla... la historia es mejor y más interesante que el juego de 2018.
    Las misiones secundarias son muy buenas, en cada lugar hay algo que encontrar.
    El gameplay es la evolución del juego de 2018 en todos los sentidos... así que si te gustó el juego de 2018 este te va a gustar mucho más(;

    Another masterpiece from Sony Santa Monica studio! This is a must play single player game that everyone should play at some point in their lives... Xbox has nothing on this level.
    And it probably never will...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War: Ragnarok has been one of my most anticipated games all year, and it did not disappoint. The game feels flawless in execution, from gameplay, to graphics, to storytelling. The boss fights are intense and challenging. The regular enemies take skill to take out without being overwhelmed. All the meanwhile you feel badass every time you finish an enemy with a classic Kratos execution. The most surprising part of this game is how it transitioned from the last game feeling like Kratos’ story and Atreus was just a part in it, to this game, where Atreus really takes the lead and becomes his own character and not just “BOY”. As events unfolded I found myself wondering throughout the entirety of the game, will they follow fate. Will things turn out exactly how they did in the prophecies. The only demerit I have for this game is that Kratos could not wield Mjölnir, though it is understandable as I believe even Kratos himself would not think he was worthy. It’s sad to see the game get review bombed just for being a Sony exclusive when it is such a masterpiece of story telling and immersion. I would consider this game a must play for anyone and everyone.… Expand

    i was expecting the game to be good but this turned out to be much more than that in 22 years i had never played a single game that came close to my favorite game of all times but Ragnarok did exactly that this is definitely my favorite game of the last two decades and i cannot recommend it enough    … Expand

    I signed up to metacritic just to leave a review, the first time I’ve ever done so because I haven’t loved a game like this in over a decade. God of War (2018) was a great game, but this was on another level. I’m speechless about how much I enjoyed this game, one of the best I’ve ever played. Absolutely amazing.

    This game is a yet another masterpiece. Compared to 2018's GoW, GoW Ragnarök has deeper story. Gameplay mechanics is decent. I didn't confront with any critical bugs during my gameplay.

    God of War Ragnarok is my new favorite game of all time. Everything is incredible, from the amazing story, to the addictive gameplay. I thought it near impossible to improve on everything from its predecessor, but they have done it and did it beautifully. Not a lot of enemy variety was my main complaint of God of War 2018, but they took that to heart and added much more enemy variety. IGod of War Ragnarok is my new favorite game of all time.

    The game's narrative is very disjointed and the dialogue is poorly written. If you like Marvel quips you'll like dialogue, but if you're like me and you're a bit fatigued by that style of humor or you never liked it to begin with then much of the dialogue is very eyeroll inducing. It's also very anachronistic with the rest of the series as many of the characters talk like they're modernThe game's narrative is very disjointed and the dialogue is poorly written.

It's also very anachronistic with the rest of the series as many of the characters talk like they're modern people from the West Coast of the USA rather than mythological gods.

    The game has other issues as well, such as not innovating much from 2018, very tedious level design in one of the major zones and and a few sections of the game that are very unfun and drag on entirely too long, but to me those are all secondary concerns compared to the writing.    … Expand

    GoW ragnarök is based on classic Sony formula which turns games to boring simulator. It's repetitive and has lots of puzzles, not much new mechanics for a sequel. Game has 20-25 hours gameplay and just 10 hours is a pure cutscene.

    Santa Monica should transfer this game's licences to Naught Dog.

    Great graphics and a technical masterpiece but besides that there is not much to enjoy. My biggest issue with this game is that it is boring to play and that the writing is a huge step down from the first game. Game feels like a hallway simulator with really bad puzzle design. Game is held back by being on PS4 and there is a shimmy through a tight space section every 2 minutes. PuzzlesGreat graphics and a technical masterpiece but besides that there is not much to enjoy.

I was waiting 40 hours for the story to pick up and it never did. The best boss fights were in the first few hours. Game didn’t live up to the hype or years of waiting. I hate to say it but it does feel like a marvel game. With how they ended it I likely will not be playing any future games in the franchise.… Expand

    Perfect in every way. The boss battles require the most focus ever. Getting to play as Kratos brings you back so much nostalgia. Getting to play as Atreus is amazing too. I loved every second of this game.

    Un juego impresionante con una historia digna de contar en la saga de God of War, el fin de la saga nordica cierra los cabos sueltos que dejo la entrega anterior y mejora por completo,tanto el gameplay como el mundo que hay por explorar,o mejor decir,los 9 reinos que hay para explorar. Sin duda un juegazo de inicio a fin con un reto para el jugador.

    The game is nothing short of perfect 100% would recommend This series keeps improving and I can't wait to see what they have next in store for us
    Also a heads up
    Before you go reading into the lower rated reviews be wary there's ALOT of elden ring fans and game awards is coming up so they're trying as hard as they can to make this game look bad

    This game is an absolute masterpiece I have beat it already and have enjoyed every second of it. This game is a must play. Only downsides I have for the game is trying to find all of the collectibles which is very time consuming. The ending was very unexpected. Bravo to the developer team for this amazing game, thanks!

    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.
