    As a player who has played all God Of Wars, this game is bigger than God Of War 2018. The enemies are super cool and the combat is so satisfying, Parries are so satisfying.

    GoW 2 is almost the same as Gow 1 but with slight improvements for all parts - better graphics, better narrative, better characters etc.

    There are things to reprimand the game like not very user-friendly UI, some side quests could be removed from the game, some main quests are not that good as others. And main argument - there are no big changes.

    Each game, actually everything in the world has drawbacks. The question is to forgive them or not.

    In case of GoW 2 it worth to forgive especially such minor minuses.    … 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!

El juego es muy bueno de inicio a Fin, una gran secuela y gran uso de recursos que normalmente no se veían en la saga, el mapa es el mismo de la primera parte aunque eso era algo que ya se sabía por las zonas no exploradas en la primera parte, la historia y trama son una joya, una lástima que los dioses Nórdicos no estuvieran a la par de Kratos, espero que en futuros títulos nos den más dificultad.… Expand

    Absolutely love the 2018 Reeboot / Sequel to original trilogy, this one tho, this one takes it to another level. Everything is so epic , big ang grandiose. Love it. 2 games and not a new trilogy was a good decision tho, i think 3 games like this would drag it out and kill the hype. Good finish to the norse saga.

    God of War Ragnarok delivered an absolutely perfect conclusion to an phenomenal story.

Wasting no time after the events of the first game, this amazing narrative took me on an incredible journey through nine beautiful realms seeking answers to seemingly unsolvable problems. Starting you off with all the weapons from the previous game, Ragnarok felt like a perfect continuation as though the first game had never ended. This shows in the narrative as you quickly meet new characters, both friend and foe alike, who carry the plot into entirely new directions and always leave you wondering what will happen next. The acting is superb for both the returning cast as well as some wonderful new additions like Odin, Thor, and Thrud. Story is definitely the highlight of this journey and it doesn't disappoint in the slightest, nor does the incredible gameplay with boss fights so incredible my jaw often dropped in complete amazement. There's little more I can say without venturing into spoilers, other than every aspect of this game was perfect. A tight and complete story, a whole new form of exploration, an amazing cast I found myself emotionally invested into, expanded combat, and a soundtrack that stands above many others. If you've not played these two incredible games I cannot recommend them enough; they did not need a trilogy to "be better."… Expand

    This game is incredible. Sony Santa Monica have once again absolutely blasted the ball out of the ballpark. It will bring you joy and it will bring you to tears... It's a continuation of a thrillingly action packed adventure story, wrapped up in a stunningly beautiful graphical package. This is what AAA gaming is and I'm so glad to be alive to experience this kind of flawless greatness.

    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.
