    I'm truly sorry for what happened to the once great God of War series, after Cory Barlog took over, the series went from an epic Hack and slash game to a corrupted Souls Like that was completely lacking in Gigantism, violence, sex scenes, and cool boss battles.

    I’m generally silent about the plot, yesho was written by a child from elementary school, and now they are trying to sell us DLC for $ 70, I think this is arrogance and disrespect for users. I hope the second reboot of this series will go better than from 2018, and the series will live for more than 1.5 parts    … Expand

    It feels like a movie not a game and honestly not as fun as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Wth Sony.

    Great Game
    Sound design is a liitle bit off, but the art design is amazing, It has everything GoW 2018 lacked, more variety of Monsters and characters, the norse mythology is more present than ever, and that's what makes this videogame so thriving

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad ending.
    Never experienced such a scorching disappointment. It's called Ragnarok, but there's nothing about the legendary clash between the forces of good and evil. Unfinished characters, rather poor bosses at the end. Fake prophecy. Nothing, you see a mile away that the idea was to make two more games after GoW18, but for unknown reasons they decided to make a bad conclusion    … Expand

    Good: AAA production, graphics, characters, locations, mythology

    Bad: too long, story is unnecessary bloated and super confusing, puzzles mostly annoying, dungeons are boring so is combat at some parts of game.

    Первое сюжет очень простой. На столько простой и стерильный, что даже тошнит. Побочные задания все как один простые и банальные. Принеси мусор, убей врага. Они никак не влияют на сюжет и повествование. Скучные и бестолковые. Головоломки однообразные. Сделаны для детей. Так еще и компаньоны вас достану с первой секундой начинаю подсказывать как решить эту головоломку для пятилетнегоПервое сюжет очень простой. На столько простой и стерильный, что даже тошнит.

    Второе в игре присутствует автолевелинг. И это худшее, что может быть в игре. Вы просто не будете чувствовать прогресса. Сколько бы вы ни играли, вы все время будете долго и мучительно убивать врага. И даже старых врагов. В чем тут кайф я не знаю. Из-за этого игра выглядит очень растянутой. А бои вводят в сон и уныние.
    В-третьих. Графика вообще не изменилась. Разницу между PS4 и PS5 нужно искать с лупой. Есть те же враги из предыдущей части. Те же анимации ударов и тот же патер поведения врагов. Да можно защищать игру и сказать, что это одна вселенная, и что это продолжение. Но за что я плачу 70$ если в игре добрые 50% взято из старой части?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay was fun and there were plenty of options for different builds depending on your play style. I had a great time exploring different areas and never felt overwhelmed by sidequests. Every area seemed to have a purpose to serve which made the flow of the game very well crafted. The visuals were impressive on the ps5. I enjoyed the game overall.. until the end.
    The ending was disappointing. I didn't feel anything to be honest. I went through a very generic feeling battlefield, plot points felt useless. It was so much build up just to have nothing interesting or noteworthy happen. Ragnarok shows up to do... nothing. Glad that quests means nothing. Now that gos sacrifice means literally nothing. It make the games writing feel cheap. The finally vattle itself was.... not challenging. I didn't feel like Odin lived up to being the villain he was hyped up to be. Everything felt to easy, things felt unnecessary. I think the ending ruined it for me, great game otherwise    … Expand

    Infelizmente o game não está 100/100… tem alguns problemas técnicos e desbalanceamento nos inimigos fazendo levar mais tempo do que deveria para eliminar eles... sem contar a impressão que fica que sabemos ao desviar dos atk deles, parece que eles têm um ímã que faz que ele nos siga e acerte o seu atk (complicado)
    O diretor responsável não teve uma objetividade em explorar a cultura nórdica e acrescentar deuses desse universo, ficou muito aquém, nos deixando com 3 deuses somente em supostas batalhas épicas, o Jogo é excelente, mas faltou algum brilho que teve no passado na sua primeira trilogia.    … Expand

    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 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

    The combat, the puzzles, the STORY (strongest point of the game). It's just better in every aspect than the last. The first worlds aren't that entertaining but when you unlock more abilities, armors, characters, Incredible side quest, then it becomes one of the best games I've ever played. 10/10 recommend it to anyone who likes a good story game. Acting is superb.

    God of War Ragnarok is a strongly continuous second part of a duology of games. And that's good, since they upgraded what they already done in a level of excellence that not many can reach.

    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.
