    Убрать русскую озвучку с физической копии для европейских регионов, но добавить ее в цифру для польши, финляндии и т.д. Ну вы герои. Теперь вместо получения удовольствия я читаю сабы. Заслуженая единица.

    Sadly, it's a continuous misdirection action game. It's a shame they didn't embrace the old series core combo system. GoW3 is still the best God of War overall.

    IT'S JUST LIKE A DLC , far away from my imagination.

    - boring riddle and platforming
    - reused old realms and enemies
    - boring resource collection
    - all the same as GOW 2018

    There is no evolution in the way the game is played. Many enemies are also pre created, and the repetition is still high. The story is too flat on the whole,

    The game has several bugs, the weapons go through the walls, generic bosses, with little innovation, it did not evolve in graphics, it seems like a dlc from the last game, forced inclusion

Too many bugs , great story and gameplay but the bugs are just killing my experience of the the game, one that I honestly cant get around is when after ragnarok im trying to go to Svartalfheim from any other realm but crates gets caught in what looks like a scene and I can t use any of the weapons, or even run, dying isn't a option and even restartibg to the previous checkpoint does not work.… Expand

    It’s kind of like a DLC for god of war 2018. If you really really really loved GoW 2018 then you might enjoy this game, but I thought I loved it, and now I can’t even finish ragnarok. Im waiting till I can smoke weed again to play this game because it’s just not that good

    -Mal diseño de niveles
    -Es un dlc aburrido que se parece en mucho al de 2018
    - La historia no conecta conmigo
    - Mismas animaciones
    En definitiva si jugaste gow 2018 no deberias comprar raganarok

    Great graphics and a technical masterpiece but besides that there is not much to enjoy. My biggest issue with this game is that it is boring to play and that the writing is a huge step down from the first game. Game feels like a hallway simulator with really bad puzzle design. Game is held back by being on PS4 and there is a shimmy through a tight space section every 2 minutes. PuzzlesGreat graphics and a technical masterpiece but besides that there is not much to enjoy.

Game is held back by being on PS4 and there is a shimmy through a tight space section every 2 minutes. Puzzles with the hex arrows are so bad and half of them barely function. I was waiting 40 hours for the story to pick up and it never did. The best boss fights were in the first few hours. Game didn’t live up to the hype or years of waiting. I hate to say it but it does feel like a marvel game. With how they ended it I likely will not be playing any future games in the franchise.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So disappointing, this game had potential. Story was a big let down. Could have been different if it was 3 games but everything felt rushed. Built up certain things in the first game then did a complete 180 in the second. My all time favourite series turned to crap. No Valhalla??? 'Explore the 9 realms' biggest over statement of all times. 4 realms and a few side areas. Combat is a mess. side characters don't follow when they are meant to. Can be attacked during Kratos special attacks but cannot stop them to defend?? Inconsistent mess when attacking enemies, sometimes your moves will stun them other times they will keep coming? Makes it nearly impossible to plan a battle strategy. The only decent strategy is to avoid using special attacks.

    No Mjolner???? Yet it comes in the collectors/Jotnar edition. I feel genuinely ripped off.

    Finally I wanted to kill Odin and Thor. This was built up so heavily in 2018 and now we are just OK to forgive everyone? Atreus asks Kratos at one point 'is it always OK to kill those who are trying to kill you" Kratos responds 'yes'. But now we don't want to kill them? Thor's 'redemption arc' was so badly done. He was told to go with Atreus so now he's a good guy and we forgive him? it's just bad writing. Again, a 3rd game could have solved this. rushed.

    There is a lot of good in the game. If you just want more of 2018 (but less polish) more of the same plus a few new areas. it's fine. It's entertaining enough. But compare it to 2018 and it's a disaster. Even worse it's an intentionally designed disaster.    … Expand

    Go watch some gow3 gameplay with its musical score, blood and gore and compare this, you'll realize how utterly boring and tame ragnarok is. No blood splatter, blades feel weak, can't jump, music is stupid, enemy variety is minimal, even spartan "god of war" behaves like a gentleman, my grandfather used to be more fierce!!

    I don't see how this gets the same rating as the last god of war. It's a drag, poorly written, boring, full of invisible walls and slow walking, hidden loading screens, slapstick characters and lame characters with "heroic" moments, horrible and long dialogue.

    The game mechanics are better than those of gow 2018 but they have thrown overboard the incredible story that Norse mythology could give. this game was doomed since they decided on two games instead of three. I feel cheated.
    the 2018 story had just the right level of drama and depth. in this game everything is varnished with an extra layer of crying and well-being

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm left with an overall deflated feeling of disappointment after so much anticipation and love for the franchise. Compared with the 2018 masterpiece, Ragnarok certainly underdelivers in many ways, with my biggest frustration in the confused plot lines, unanswered questions, rushed climax and poor storytelling.

    I thought the introduction of Angboder would have more of a significant impact to the story. I thought the giants entrapped in marbles would be pivotal to Ragnarok glory. Where was Fenrir in the war? What was the point of focussing so much of the game around the mask only for it to be a throw away? I thought changing the prophesies was weak and that Kratos should have been killed by Heimdoll (maybe returning as a Valkyrie sent from Odin). I really felt annoyed with that fact that peace was not made with Sindri, and losing this comedy from the game was very damaging to the overall feeling for the player. Atreus morphing into bears and wolves were so underutilized and even weren't used at all in the final battles. Why did Faye betray her people? Is it Loki or Atreus?

    The game tried to do too much, diluting down what was important.    … Expand

    Gameplay was too difficult even though I chose the easiest level. Especially the battle with Berserker and Gna. Also, quests in Iron wood are boring.

    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.
