    10/10. Might not win the GOTY as Elden Ring was particular different and interesting but Santa Monica brings us another game where you feel like a true GOD

    8 hours played and 3+ hours of those are only cinematics, a lot of bugs and the phisics are not smooth. I hope more of the game, sadly think that Cory Barlog need comeback to Santa Monica for the next gow

    Me lo he pasado pero tiene exageradas escenas de pelicula, parece un Detroid Become Human. Se juega bien en su jugabilidad y tiene buena narrativa pero aburre mucho porque tiene escenas muy largas y eso hace que uno pierda el interés

    Le doy 2 por que la historia esta regular pero la jugabilidad qué es lo que importa es una basura un intento de soulslike pero sin la dificultad para que los casual no se enojen

    Amazing game with unfinished combat and too much bloat. It would’ve been better had there been more done to make it feel better than GoW (2018). And the amount of bloated content is insane. If you’re coming fresh from the last game you’re gonna be sick of the same combat and enemies quickly

    The combat is clunky and whose brilliant idea to make enemy to lose target lock if they move out of fov? seriously, this design choice is awful.

    Poor level design, specifically Vanaheim. Every minute of walking is slowed down just so you can solve a puzzle to progress. Were it not for the 14 million puzzles and long drawn out elevator rides, you could finish the game in 10 hours. The lip syncing is horrendous. They didn't even try here.
    It's almost like witching a dubbed foreign movie. Post game dialogs don't even go with the    Poor level design, specifically Vanaheim.

    It's almost like witching a dubbed foreign movie. Post game dialogs don't even go with the events. Someone dies and later I'm told to ask the person that's dead if God's sleep. I'm gonna jump right on that mimir. There's hardly any new upgrades to the first game. Visually and mechanically just seems like a dlc. This game isn't even top 2 for goty in my opinion. Elden ring and dying light 2 are far superior.    … Expand

    El peor God of War de la historia, mucho brilli brilli, puzzles soporíferos, falta de sensación de brutalidad, jugabilidad pésima, un inventario infumable, historia pésima, básicamente como cargarse al personaje varonil de Kratos y convertirlo en un frágil.

    This God of war is just a Fake Ragnarok, nothing happens from the beginning to the end and we take no pleasure to play, go take Sonic Frontiers instead, there is gameplay at least there.

    Graphics ok, sound ok, lots of content, sure I guess. Blah blah. Honestly though, it just all feels so dumb. Compare it with Red Dead Redemption for example. A fully realised world with so much openness and physics and unexpectedness and tonnes of content in every corner. By comparison this game is on rails, the dialogue is brutish and rarely interesting.

    The locations are limited and have little actual logic in them - why must I continually do one-way things that show no one has ever been here before, and yet apparently there are people everywhere who must have needed that path. Why do dwarves build extremely complicated machines that DO NOTHING? Why are deserted areas full of lit fires? The walking around is frustrating. What can I go off that ledge? Why can’t I climb that tiny snowbank? Why can’t I get over that tiny branch? Why must I spend half an hour going around?

    Enemies spawn in front of you and then disappear as soon as killed. Loading zones appear every 100m as you crawl through gaps. It’s just all dumb and this breaks the immersion continuously and destroys what story there is. Even the dialogue is so stupid and simple. It’s for kids. It’s like a 90s platformer in 3D.    … Expand

    These Game is Outstanding. It's not in any way a DLC to GOW 2018, cause there is so much done to create it. Starting with a huge variaty of amazingly beautiful, full of life, small cratures, particles and very sharp textures and high resolution. Game starts sslowly, and the further you go, more Action you get, so as Larger enemies, bosses and etc. Story line is very good, and fightingThese Game is Outstanding.

    I enjoyed the first 3 GOW way more than this Marvel GOW. The quality of the game keeps going down, and it's really bothering me.

    It's not a videogame, but a huge waste of time. Every cutscene is unskippable, every animation is unnecessarily long. Who has time for all that?

    The 2018 GOW was a masterpiece. This game is not, not even close. Character development is so bad it is laughable. Story is simplistic and predictable - and with plot holes, no less. Level design is soo boring.
    There were reports developers panicked half a year ago, being convinced the game was trash - well, it's not trash, but it is very average at best.

    Que Gran Juego, que gran Aventura.
    Como siempre Santa Mónica; nos sorprende.
    Una gran historia, unos escenarios increíbles y un acabado técnico impecable..
    Esto si que es Next Gen...!!!!.
    God of War 2018 para PC todo en Ultra; se queda en pañales frente a la versión de PS5

    I didn't like the 2018 God of War game. They stripped away so many gameplay mechanics from the og. GOW games and didn't replace them with anything new. I also didn't like the story because it seemed poorly written with a forced character arch for Atreus and with a boring Kratos. This game is just a total rehash of that with similar flaws and full of reused assets.

    El mejor juego del 2022, firme candidato a juego del año , si el god of war del 2018 ya era perfecto este lo supera con creces, juego indispensable para los amantes de los videojuegos.

    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.
