    Es igual que el primero y aún mejor porque tiene más reinos, más mecánicas y se ve espectacular, además de que la narrativa es de lo mejor que se ha hecho hasta ahora.

    An incredible, a bit predictable, story and top notch acting from the characters. But actually playing GoW Ragnarok is mindless and boring. I think Santa Monica Studio needs to enter Sony's movie/series department. They can tell a great story but they can't design engaging gameplay..

    A few complaints: Combat is floaty and too similar to GoW 2018, camera is your biggest enemy, enemy design is generic, bosses are healthpool sponges, character progress feels unimpactful, exploration and mission design is linear, pacing issues, ps4 graphics and whoever made these mindless god awful puzzles to pad the game by 10 hours+ need to find a new job, SERIOUSLY.    … Expand

    El juego es simplemente maravilloso. A la gente que solo tira hate sin sentido por ser de Xbox no seas así y aprecien las cosas. Ganamos nosotros. 10/10 para mí el mejor juego del año.

    Muy muy normalito el juego, más cuando piensas que el salto a la consola de nueva generación iba a ser mucho mas visible, y lo que ha sido es una decepción, sin lugar a duda esperaba un salto grande para mi PS5, y me he encontrado un juego normalito que perfectamente se puede jugar en una play4

    Great gameplay and a good story bogged down by aggravating arena fights with over-tuned mobs and sub-par boss fights that tend to be easier than some normal mobs, main story boss fights also have too many check-points that make playing on the harder/hardest difficulties feel a little bit too easy.

    Most anticipated disappointment of the year. Combat is same or worse than last iteration, slow clunky, easily stun locked, get hit with first artack of combo, well you're now stuck getting hit the rest because you cant move block duxk dip dive or dodge once you get hit. Your attacks never break enemy guard, they just tank through everything. Everything is a mob, amd if you play on anythingMost anticipated disappointment of the year.

    Ragnarok is a better version of its predecessor. Better combat, better story telling and acting, new skill tree…
    Graphics are not top tier. The performance is stable in PS5. The only problem is it doesn’t give a new game feeling, its better but its new. In overall its a great game and probably the best of 2022.
    -5= Graphics.
    -5= Being better but pretty similar with GoW 2018.

    I don't usually write reviews or give ratings, but God of war is one of my favorite series along with mass effect and tlou. As with the original, the developers managed to improve the original formula and make an already excellent game even better. I liked the graphics, characters, variety. I can't find any disadvantages. The best game of 2022.

    10/10 easily

    This game should've been a DLC. This is nowhere near 70$ "brand new" title.. Not to mention the fact that half of the time I was watching a movie. Not a game... I'm fed up playing movies.....

    I played almost 15 hours and this Game.... it´s not just an Game, it´s a duty for every Single Player to experience this masterpiece. Story, combat, satisfaction, characters, dialogs are made with love and high quality. You can see the work of 4 years!! I couldn´t find any cons, everything makes fun. even some Side quests are Witcher 3 Niveau! My GOTY 2022!!!

    There has never been a sequel this good. There has arguably never been a game this good. In the first 5 minutes you are 100% immersed, and the immersion doesn’t leave the entire time.

    Nesse novo God of War trouxeram os acertos que têm no jogo anterior e, além disso, adicionaram muitas novidades no combate, nas animações, finalizações etc. A arte visual está lindíssima e riquíssima, bem como a trilha sonora impecável. Sem dúvidas, um dos melhores jogos desse ano de 2022.

    Story is good, worlds are (mostly) very fun to explore, and there are a lot of very memorable characters. The combat is great against bosses, but fighting groups of enemies (the majority of the damn game) is mostly garbage and not fun. The camera is garbage, and you’ll either be spending a lot of your time trying to keep all the enemies in frame or getting shanked from off screen.

    A few really good fights and an awesome story unfortunately ruined by terrible pacing and gameplay. The majority of the game is spent on frustrating mandatory fetch quests, puzzles, walking simulation, and unskippable cutscenes. If you're already bought into the story from the first game it might be worth the time, but if you're looking for a fun video game this isn't it.

    Everything is designed so perfectly from the weapons to world design and dialogue, I didn't think anything could be more well made then God of war (2018) but somehow they managed to do it and I can't stop myself from playing every chance i get to see what new gear i can use and what new story there is to absorb, Truely a Masterpiece i will never forget.

    Every combat encounter begins and ends with you crawling through a narrow passageway, gets annoying fast. Areas are small and lack branching paths for exploration. The puzzles are a downgrade from the last game, likely because of the small areas, brain dead ez.

    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.
