    Absolute perfection of a game, this game got review bombed by some elden ring fans which is quite disappointing that some people cannot be a fan of 2 masterpieces.

    Must buy and a must platinum.

    El Ragnarök ha llegado y está nueva aventura de Kratos e hijo prometió mucho y para satisfacción de muchos cumplió con su cometido, una gran obra de Santa Mónica Studio.

    Historia: Sin duda lo que más ansiaban los jugadores era saber el desenlace de la odisea de Kratos en los nueve reinos, aunque se siente un poco apresurada la historia debido a que aquí veremos lo que debió haber sido desarrollado en dos juegos, aún así la historia se desenvolverá naturalmente, desde el principio al fin la historia te mantendrá al filo del asiento, pasando por momentos de acción, humor y lágrimas. El final es epico y un gran cierra para la saga nórdica.
    Sonido: Las actuaciones son magistrales y su doblaje al español latino un excelente trabajo. La única voz que tal vez no me convenció fue la de Odin ya que no se parece mucho a su voz original, pero no quita que hizo un buen trabajo.
    En cuanto a la banda sonora es un diez en todo su esplendor, cada pieza en este juego encaja perfectamente en todo momento. Su soundtrack es simplemente algo que podrás gozar jugando o no.
    Gráficos: 10/10 sin duda ver God of War Ragnarök en 4K o 60fps es un deleite visual, cada rincón de los nueve reinos está sumamente detallado, se extraña inmediatamente el modo foto de lanzamiento, aún sin este modo es muy fácil notar el trabajo hecho por el equipo de Santa Mónica Studio.
    Gameplay: La parte más importante de todo juego y claro este apartado no decepciona, si bien es familiar ya que es prácticamente el mismo gameplay de su versión anterior, con algunas mejoras y nuevos modos. La dificultad en el juego aumento un poco más con respecto a su versión anterior, el atacar y hacer combos se siente muy bien, así como matar a tus enemigos, cuyas muertes varían según el arma que portes. Una de las quejas que puedo poner en este apartado es el control Dualsense, el cuál no ha Sido explotado casi nada, si bien la vibración háptica se ve que trataron de implementar la poco o nada se siente el cambio de terrenos o golpes o armas, lo más que puedes llegar a sentir es cuando viajas en trineo y pasas de hielo a nieve a tierra. Los Gatillos Adaptativos son otros grandes olvidados, usados solo para algunas pocas partes del juego y vaya que pudieron ser aprovechados mejor, si Sony no aprovecha su control que me puedo esperar de juegos de terceros.    … Expand

    after playing GoW 2018 and rating it 10 this sequel was very disappointing. the handholding was so frustrating like let me figure out the puzzles by myself. the boss fights are disappointing and its titled Raganarok when in reality you only see and played against him for a short time. The cinematics are too long too.

    GoW Ragnarok is an epic, ambitous, jaw-dropping, unforgettable gaming experience. From the story, to the acting, to the music, to the characters, to the enemy variance, and to the details of the realms, the game keeps you entertained from start to finish! A must play for all PS5 owners.

Teaching new lessons to aspiring fathers such as myself. Amazing story, great gameplay, and my vote for Game of the Year

    - The last act can drag up until the final mission.

    God of War Ragnarök is a fantastic game that is absolutely worth the money and I personally feel, is a solid contender for the 2022 game of the year. It’s an improvement over everything 2018’s GOW did and it tells a great story. There aren’t many issues with it that have me reducing the score. Even though I am giving it a 10/10, it’s not a perfect game, the last act drags a bit up until the final battles but besides that, it’s an excellent game that is well worth the price of admission. If you’re a God of War fan, you’ve probably already played and conquered it, but if you’re on the fence, I can assure you it’s well worth it and is my personal game of the year for 2022.    … Expand

    To keep it short and sweet. The game is a masterpiece. It’s everything you could ever ask for. And in my opinion it is the greatest game of all time. It improves on everything God Of War 2018 didn’t do too well and did what God Of War 2018 did well, EVEN BETTER. The combat is similar but fresh, the graphics are fantastic and the story is absolutely incredible. 10/10!

    Ese videojuego y Elden ring son los títulos mas sobrevalorados de lo que va del año que en lo personal son un 90 muy justo ni mas ni menos. Por lo que no puedo darle un 9 como nota de usuario dado que hay gente dándole notas imposibles (10) y no reflejando la realidad con ello hasta que no se tomen medidas serias al respecto.

    Very solid gamplay and interesting story.
    Previous game was a touch more interesting story wise but I think that's mostly cause it was still fresh and new while this one is building upon previous systems already in place.The new spear is a nice touch. Though I still prefer the axe and blades. Always happy to see a game finished on launch for once. I don't think I saw a singular bug the entire game

    God of War Ragnarök is that kind of game that you’ll probably remember for a long time.

    For me it was the best written game this year, the story takes a bigger scale on Scandinavic mythology comparing with the 2018s game.Also characters from previous game appears and has their own character arc, my favorite among them was Freyas arc.She transformed from a broken woman who seeked only revenge to a strong warrior who learned how to forgive and become better than she was before.Also ive gotta admit that i liked Atreus more than he was in the fourth game, his humor and relations with other character are awesome especially with Kratos, Sindri and Angraboda.The new characters on the other hand are also awfuly interesting - Thor,Odin,Thrud,Freyr,Tyr,Heimdall -these characters also has their character arc and some of them are even better than some character from previous game.For me the most memorable and amazing character was Thor, his arc and the tragedy of his family was so realistic and so close to me that i really understood Thor and for me even at the middle of the game he wasn’t a bad guy, and his fate for me seemed like throwing a good character into garbage.And of course the the best duo in the game for me is Kratos and Mimir, they are the best characters in the hame for me, and i would be pleased if Christopher Judge would receive a Best Performance award and the Game Awards, after seeing almost everything in this game i could say that he deserves it more than anyone among the nominees.
    The gameplay core is kinda the same as we saw in 2018 game, and for me it wasn’t a problem, because developers merely advanced an already perfect gameplay, and the fights in this game and the difficulty "Give me the challenge" feels really good, except some fights with Berserkers ( the ones with a 3 in 1 fight, and 2 in 1 fight - these are horrible unfair stupid **** fights ), ive gotta admit that direction in the bossfights with Thor ( both fights ), Garm, Odin and Heimdall is fascinating and i could say the these are the most beautifully paced fights for a long time in industry.Also the direction of the cutscenes is taking new heights comparing with the firts game, the cutscenes is literally a pure art and a admire hard-work of the developers from Santa Monica Studios.
    The world of the game also became bigger and there some new activities and new worlds to explore - Vanaheim is the most beautiful among all the worlds and it was a pure pleasure to explore, the same thing i can say about Svartalheim, Alfheim and Midgard.Also the Muspelheim trials became more interesting and fun comparing with previous game, even Thor admits it…
    In the end i have to take credit of magnificent soundtrack written by Bear McCreary, one the best soundtracks that i’ve ever listened to for a long while, he’s soundtrack is so good that even after completing the game and then again listening to the tracks from huge dramatic moments it bringing me to tears just from a track.
    Also after completing this game and obtaining a platinum i could say that it was an amazing and memorable journey that i will remember for a log while, and if this game would get a GOTY this year i wouldn’t be disappointed ( cant say that about the fact if Elden Ring would win, i hope it wouldn’t happen ).But i’m still rooting for Srtay :3
    Loki will go, Atreus remains…

    This product is a hate crime. But even putting aside the malicious insertion of a black girl and promoting miscegination in a game about Norse mythology. It's like smearing feces on Michaelangelo's David. Nobody wants to play as Atreus. He's not a compelling character and the segments with him are way too long

Larger world, many more characters, more enemies, more weapons, different types of upgrades for these weapons including shields and spartan rage. This game solidified a 10 from after the whole sequence where you get the spear, the cool fight with Heimdall you stumble across what seems to be an insignificant side quest that opens up u huge area with many more cool monsters and side quests.… 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.
