    Esse jogo foi simplesmente incrível e provou o contrario para todos que diziam ser apenas umas "DLC", o mundo aberto do game está cheio de detalhes e excelentes puzzles, a gameplay está bem dinâmica e os movimentos do Kratos e atreus durante o combate causam uma imersão incrivel, os gráficos desse jogo foram surpreendentes embora não chega ser next gen ele possui texturas bem definidas eEsse jogo foi simplesmente incrível e provou o contrario para todos que diziam ser apenas umas "DLC", o mundo aberto do game está cheio de detalhes e excelentes puzzles, a gameplay está bem dinâmica e os movimentos do Kratos e atreus durante o combate causam uma imersão incrivel, os gráficos desse jogo foram surpreendentes embora não chega ser next gen ele possui texturas bem definidas e sombreamentos muito bons! Sobre o desempenho fico muito surpreso já que não aconteceu nenhuma queda de frame mesmo tendo um gráfico muito bonito!! Parabéns ao estúdio Santa Mônica!! Expand

    Bigger, wider, with impactful moments and story with very few problems that do not affect the game at all. Honestly, for me, it`s better than the first!

    GOW Ragnarok maximizes and perfects everything that was already great about the prequel. Storytelling, artwork, dialogue, audio, game-play-mechanics and combat are crafted with so much love for the smallest detail, its simply astonishing.

    People might say that it's a DLC but tbh, no. Not at all have I felt that it was a DLC at all. The graphics, gameplay, etc . Is amazing truly a must

    This stunning conclusion of the 2018 masterpiece deepens the relationship between God of War Kratos and his son Atreus. This is done within a masterful created game that finetunes the previous game and add new mechanics. The game is of epic proportions combining close-up fighting with range attacks, puzzling and exploration.
    Technically and creatively you are treated with the best talent

    Este juego supera a su predecesora por mucho y concluye la aventura de la manera más épica posible. Sus personajes están muy bien diseñados y escritos, sus combates , cinemáticas y relacion padre eh hijo entre kratos y atreus se desarrolla muy bien, yo por mi parte es el mejor juego que eh jugado en todo el año, sin duda le daría el goty .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game worthy of being one of the best games of all time. With the combat, it felt very smooth and very significant to master. with all weapons, you can learn combos with all weapons and really feel purpose with every attack you use. Being a big fan of the story games, this was really a lot more than I expected. overall, the best game I've played this year Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Не хочу ничего расписывать, это просто лучшая игра за последние несколько лет, для меня это шедевр, но все же это имхо. Да она не сильно отличается от первой части, но мне плевать. Я готов следить за отношениями Кратоса и Атрея на протяжении ещё нескольких частей, в которые вообще ничего не будут добавлять. Хотя в этой части, много что изменили, но для некоторых недостаточно, я оцениваю игру по эмоциям которые она во мне вызывала, а не по тому насколько сильно ли она отличается от первой части. Expand

    Finished the game last night. I have around 35 hours gameplay under my belt with a good amount of side quests completed.

    This game is truly a masterpiece in every way. It takes everything that blew me away about the last game and improves on it. Stunning visuals, gripping story and crushing combat that never gets old. Oh, and don’t forget the music, it’s mind blowing. GOTY.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of war Ragnarok is a true master piece of a game, picking up right where 2018 left of and adding more depth and life to all the characters into the game. in this game they addressed critical issues in from the 2018 from enemy variety to the process of kicking down chains. The game has quite a few puzzles throughout the story though not very challenging they add a nice break between the exciting combat moments so you don't get worn down. The combat in the game was much better than the 2018 game adding more moves and abilities to characters and even a new weapon. The story writers and developers did an amazing job adding shocking moments to the game and evolving the experience by making Atreus a playable character. The ending of this game was very touching and emotional and I just hope the find a way to bring Atreus back to the future games. Expand

    Ragnarok lives up to the expectation and hype created by the God of War 2018. Has a perfect story followed by the amazing performances by the cast of the game. As you progress, you unfold so much that this game has to offer both in main story and side missions. Things like combat, area of exploration and ability to travel new realms takes this to a new height than it’s predecessor.

    Improves on the original in every way. Better story, better puzzles, better UI etc. This is the best game of the year and may even be the best game of all time. A must play for any gamer

    O jogo é muito focado na história e evolução pessoal tanto do atreus quando do Kratos, isso é inegável, mas desdo do god of war de 2018 e nos mostrado que o Kratos já havia abandonado a ideia de matar deuses pois ele sabe as consequências, isso não significa que ele ficou fraco ou frouxo só que ele se tornou alguém melhor, mas bom em relação ao jogo a história é muito bem desenvolvida,O jogo é muito focado na história e evolução pessoal tanto do atreus quando do Kratos, isso é inegável, mas desdo do god of war de 2018 e nos mostrado que o Kratos já havia abandonado a ideia de matar deuses pois ele sabe as consequências, isso não significa que ele ficou fraco ou frouxo só que ele se tornou alguém melhor, mas bom em relação ao jogo a história é muito bem desenvolvida, sendo meio arrastada em alguns momentos mas nada muito prejudicial, e as sise quest são muito boas atentando o próprio mapa e cenário, além de ter uma larga escala de coisas para se fazer após terminar a campanha, e tudo isso sem falar do belo cenários desse jogo, simplesmente perfeito Expand

    Best game ever made, creative and genius it feels like watching a movie yet it’s so engaging switching to combat in the middle of a beautiful looking cutscene. I’ve played a lot of games but nothing compares to this title I bought a ps5 strictly to get access to it and It was worth every dollar 10/10 would recommend to anyone #goty

    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.
