    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

    Technically and creatively you are treated with the best talent the industry has to offer. Everything, from animation, character and lever design to audio and music is stunning and a joy to experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game started strong with a lot of action, Freya trying to kill us, Thor and Odin entering our home, and Thor starting a fight. But then the story begins to get less interesting. Especially mid-story. Overall it’s a good game, but it could’ve been perfect if they had more boss fights, well thought out story, and a lot more action than just going to different realms killing repetitive enemies.

    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

    In no way this game surpasses its predecessor, the combat is entertaining yes but the rest is the low point, there comes a point where you take for granted that this game is an interactive movie, the amount of animations in the middle of everything and in a short time is excessive, the story does not seem surprising or as emotional as many point out.

The fight against a certain character was one of the most expected and they made it very forgettable, at least they could have improved the atmosphere around this moment. 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.

    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

    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

    The story wasn't as focused as the first game. It was still rather good however and it left me very excited to see were they go next. Combat isn't completely overhauled but you it has been improved. By playing the two games back to back Ragnarök just felt better to me.

    God of war ragnarök is the best game I have ever played since the last of us remastered. That's because of the story and the satisfaction in combat all of that make it experience that will never

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finish this game and the ending is the best. The graphic are crazy good and I love how the game is so big. You could finish the game and still have tons of things to do. At the end, you could see that kratos opens a shrine and sees that he is getting praised to. He begin to tear up because he would never have imagine that since he had killed many gods and innocent people. That scene made me tear up and it’s the best ending to a game I have ever seen. People may disagree with me but if you have played all the games and know the lore of the game you would agree too. Expand

    Cuando lo jugue en casa de mi primo fue genial, para evitar decir spoiler, solo dire que es una pieza maestra con sus graficos, banda sonora, efectos visuales, cantidad de personajes, tanto aliados como enemigos, y la tematica, TODOO es una obra maestra, y que de seguro lo seguira siendo por años, muchos años adelantes como sus juegos anteriores, la saga de GoW vivira por siempre.

    Si bien se apoya de God of War de 2018, reutilizando varias animaciones, teniendo un gameplay que al principio se puede sentir muy similar (que conforme va avanzando la historia te vas dando cuenta que sí agregaron nuevas cosas, mecánicas, movimientos, armas y demás, y algunas otras las cambiaron), a pesar de ya ser muy bueno el de 2018, y utilizando una formula narrativa que en momentosSi bien se apoya de God of War de 2018, reutilizando varias animaciones, teniendo un gameplay que al principio se puede sentir muy similar (que conforme va avanzando la historia te vas dando cuenta que sí agregaron nuevas cosas, mecánicas, movimientos, armas y demás, y algunas otras las cambiaron), a pesar de ya ser muy bueno el de 2018, y utilizando una formula narrativa que en momentos es muy parecida a su predecesor; la historia, los personajes y su desarrollo, las decisiones que toman y sus consecuencias, el "nuevo" gameplay y la narrativa, son excelentes. Es increíble como algo que ya era muy bueno (God Of War 2018), pudo haber sido trabajado mejor. En definitiva, uno de los candidatos a juego del año, no me sorprendería que no lo ganara, ya que la competencia es muy buena, pero tampoco me sorprendería que sí lo ganara. 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.

    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.
