    Apesar do jogo ser uma refinação da primeira iteração e muita coisa se repetir. A história a imersão gráfica e sonora deixam o jogo mais uma vez épico.

    I think the middle part was a little dragged out but it was definitely perfect from when atreus returned from asgard.

    El mejor juego que podrás jugar a dia de hoy, es tan perfecto, que se recordará durante décadas, si gana otro juego el goty de este 2022, la votaciones estarán tan amañadas como la liga para el Varsa o los que le ponen un 0 a esta obra maestra no son dignos de disfrutar de esta delicia

    Sony could. The greatest story that will make anyone cry. The game plays elegantly with your emotions. At first you worry, later you scream from an overabundance of emotions. The best game I've ever played.

    Al grano, mi goty 2022, mecanicas continuistas, intrudiciendo alguna nueva para darle frescura, narrativa espectacular, pero lo que nos tenian ya acostumbrados en el 1, no creo que pueda pedir mas, que un juego de , 30horas en las que he disfrutado todos los minutos sin sentir que sobra nada.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра действительно заслуживает свои 94 балла и даже больше , но есть один минус. В финальной битве с Одином нет такого соперничества и "мяса", как в битве с тором. Есть ещё один непонятный момент с мъелниром, очень ждал это оружие во владении Кратоса, хотя копьё ничем не хуже.… Expand

    8 hours played and 3+ hours of those are only cinematics, a lot of bugs and the phisics are not smooth. I hope more of the game, sadly think that Cory Barlog need comeback to Santa Monica for the next gow

    I can only say Santa Monica Studio you finally did it again.

    All of the aspects from the Story, Lore, Graphics, Characters, Combat Mechanics are as I expected to be or even more with a pleasant twist here and there that actually make sense and enjoyable.

    I really am thoroughly enjoyed God of War Ragnarok and I'm not yet done with it for now.

    This game is totally worth the money. The story is really really good. And the combat and enemies are so satisfying to fight. If you liked the first, you will definetly love this one. 10/10

    Pure art. It's that simple. It exceeds even the greatness of the first. And that obviously isn't easy to do.

    Me lo he pasado pero tiene exageradas escenas de pelicula, parece un Detroid Become Human. Se juega bien en su jugabilidad y tiene buena narrativa pero aburre mucho porque tiene escenas muy largas y eso hace que uno pierda el interés

    In my opinion this game deserves GOTY because this will be the last God Of War and it also closes a series of games that everyone enjoyed in their childhoods or whatever age you played them Thanks for this games.

There are some minor flaws but don't affect your gameplay.The switch between characters is so refreshing. Level design and character design is very eye catching. I'd definitely recommend this masterpiece to all players.… Expand

    The game is literally perfect. They took everything that worked in the first game and made it better, changed or improved everything that didn't work, and introduced new things that are just as good. I could not have hoped for a better experience.

    Easily game of the year and perhaps even game of the decade.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ragnarok is a sequel to the God of War game on the PS4.
    Probably fine if you are twelve.
    I'm not. The game has very nice vistas and good music. That's it.

    The fighting isn't interesting nor challenging. With Kratos it's just "OK", but his son is not good at all.
    The story holds no interest. It's bland and uninspired. If Kratos doesn't deserves his title of God of War anymore, I find Atreus properly insufferable. You have hear that brat's two brain-cells attempts at manipulation all the time.

    The dialogues are pure drivel. And, to top it, you can't skip any of them. I can only explain why they would inflict them on us by hubris and utter contempt for the player's time. I've spent most of the "cinematic" time watching YouTube and it was just bearable ... up to a point.

    First, there was that squirrel that has childish vibes that I don't like at all, thankfully I may never see it again.
    But later in the story, you suddenly encounter another annoying child (with a surprising very non-Scandinavian look : I guess someone has to check that box, that's not the issue here).
    She uses kind of paint-ball attacks that may be appealing if your are a young girl or something. For an adult man who bought this for fights and blood, it's cringe inducing.
    The game proceeds to ask to to do some slow, tedious, utterly boring harvesting task, slowly carried by some cow. After a few minutes I simply had to stop : Animal crossing isn't my thing.
    I've waited two days to go back. My first move was to mute the voices : much better.
    But an hour or so later, I was still on that stupid cow doing some stupid tasks interrupted by lame fights.
    No, no way. F this, I'll reroll an Elden Ring character instead.    … Expand

    Writing is the worst I've seen in my 20+ years of gaming. I enjoyed 2018 GoW and never audibly gone " Eurgh, jesus christ" while playing as I have done far too frequently during this one. Looks pretty and combat is serviceable but nothing special. Ultimately very boring and I won't be playing anything else by Santa Monica Studios going forward.

    God of War Ragnarök is a beautiful sequel with a wonderful story. As a Play Station gamer, I appreciate the combination of good visuals, gameplay and story. God of War Ragnarök has not only reached my expectations but has greatly surpassed them. I would definitely call it a GOTY material.

    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.
