    One of the best games in the past 10 years, everything is done perfectly from the combat mechanics to how the worlds look in the game, an emotional story and a good adventure even when you finish the game there is still a lot to see

    Mejora en todos los aspectos a la anterior entrega, las misiones secundarias tiene un nivel que no había visto, sólo en juegos como RDD2 y The Witcher 3, grandes sorpresas aún en contenido endgame, la jugabilidad puede parece muy continuista pero conforme avanzas va mejorando y cambiando, y lo que muchos esperaban, la historia cumple con creces.

    "The Norse Apocalypse" is reduced to a poor family friendly thing where LITERALLY there is not a moment in the final part where you feel fear for the lives of the characters. The problem is that the game for 30+ hours brings you a "problem" that towards the end is not even mentioned, for me this thing is absurd, considering the care and maturity of the first game.

    Thor and Odin compared to Baldur are jokes, ragnarok is just disappointing. The final boss fights had to be MEMORABLE.    … Expand

It gives you everything you expected right off the bat. However, the game declines pretty hard.

    The decline comes from how much they throw at you from a narrative point-of-view. God of War (2018) is a straightforward, impactful story of a boy and his father going on a journey to spread the mother's ashes. Along this journey, bits and pieces of the world and its characters slowly start to get peeled back.

    God of War: Ragnarok feels like it should have been a fourth installment for how much they ask of you to know everything about this world. There are so many moving parts to be aware of for the story to really makes that impact 2018 did and it never does. It doesn't help that the characters outside of Kratos, Atreus and maybe Freya are pretty unengaging.

    It's not even that Ragnarok is a "bad" game, honestly it's exceptional as hell with an obvious huge budget attatched to it to help sell that this is a AAA game with new mechanics, worlds, engine improvements, etc. But that doesn't help the feeling that God of War: Ragnarok tries to do too much with too little setup.    … Expand

    When God of War received its soft reboot in 2018, I thought there couldn’t be a better game. That was until I started playing Ragnarok. It take the best of the previous game and improves upon it, adding new enemies and new creative characters.

    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.
