    This is a great game! Just as good at God of War 2018 and a great sequel with more engaging story. Highly recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Santa Monica Studios outdid themselves. What lacked from God of War 2018 was the lack of weapons and gear and enemies. In the first 30 minutes you fight more type of enemies from GOW 2018. Then the weapons. Wow, we get the curve by not welding mjolnir but the spear. I found myself just using the spear. The combat is amazing and precise. The variety of gear lets you customize how you want to play. You want to go full glass cannon or tank with your builds. So much fun. Story wise did lack a bit but not enough to ruin my experience. Brok blessing the spear and that other scene had my allergies going. Amazing game. I can’t wait till new game plus… Expand

    Incredibly beautiful game, with amazing detailing and mechanics polished to the ideal. A whole story about life and death, pain, acceptance, forgiveness, growing up, and the evolution of relationships between people. But the key is the interaction between father and son.

    Amazing game, this game is the perfect sequel to the 2018 game, all of the characters are beautifully written and you actually start caring about them, and the story is a work of art.

    This has been an amazing game! A perfect follow up to God of War (2018). The story is enriching, the gameplay has a familiarity to it but enough differences to make you change up how you play, and it’s take on Norse Mythology continues to be a breath of fresh air compared to the Marvel take that dominates pop culture (nothing against marvel).

    God of War Ragnarok is a comprehensive improvement over God of War 2018. From story telling and deeper characterization. and a more attractive gameplay with effective role-playing elements and a third weapon (spear) that is like blades and an ax a weapon with unique capabilities

    Amazing writing and gameplay. God of War Ragnarök has its own way of keeping you reeled in at every moment while also making you want to slow down on story progress so the game doesn’t end.

    God of War: Ragnarok is an amazingly great game and should win GOTY at this years Game Awards.
    I'm currently at 28 hours of playtime according to my ps5 games page ( Love the fact we can see how long we have played a game thanks Sony) its so mesmerizingly detailed in graphics performance and fps, the emotions are a roller coaster of amazement.GG and Good luck Santa Monica Studio.

    Fantastic game. Sucks it’s being review bombed so I thought I’d come in and bring a review. Great bosses. Vanahiem was easily the best realm. It was the one that utilized verticality the most. Some of the areas really didn’t which sucked but overall I had a great time with the game. I had a few issues with the story but not enough to fully impact my experience

    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.
