    It's simply brutal! 100% recommended. I've only played for about 4 hours and I can see all the effort Santa Monica has put in this masterpiece.

    One of the best games of 2023, and I wonder why it didn't win the Game of the Year award

    Absolutely fantastic. When I thought god of war 2018 couldn't be topped, this game has all the same great features and impact but does it better in every possible scenario! It made me angry, made me laugh, cry, and just all the feelings in one.

    Un 10 es una nota muy complicada de poner ya que la perfección es un concepto abstracto pero me cuesta visualizar un juego mejor acabado que este.
    Despunta a todos los niveles y mejora la entrega anterior, por eso desde mi punto de vista tiene mi 10.

    An improvement upon the 2018 GOW and its perfect. The story, portrayel of the characters and gameplay it just blends together really well and dont even get me started on the side quest they alone constitute a full flegged game and are a sight to behold. There is a ton of custimization option you can play the game in a wide variety ov styles and builds there is something for everyone herAn improvement upon the 2018 GOW and its perfect.

    Una obra magistral. Digna de los estudios top de SONY.
    No es un techo grafico. Pero no le falta nada. Sumado a un gameplay que no falla en nada, una historia de las mejores de la saga, o la mejor. Me da placer volver a jugarlo.

    God of war Ragnarök is the definition of a sequel and the ultimate advertisement for how far gaming has come. It is the block buster that puts to shame corresponding productions of other branches of entertainment. With the the slightly lighter and more humorous approach to dialogue and its style in general, the title is better in every other aspect than its predecessor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fascinante una historia en la que le dan protagonismo, a personajes secundarios, vemos la evolución de Kratos y Atreus, nos llena de empatía y tristeza con las historias de los hermanos Hundra y la vida de Freya, es genial poder por viajar a los 9 mundos, Santa Mónica Studios lo hizo de nuevo nos dio un gran juego para volver a disfrutarlo al 100%… Expand

    Bad-
    A few narrative missteps; Some technical issues.

    Thoughts-
    When a game is as good as God of War Ragnarok is though, its issues become much easier to ignore, and that’s certainly been my experience. Ragnarok is better than what I was expecting it to be, and I was expecting the world. It’s a stellar game that perfectly captures both, the scale and bombast of the older entries in the series, and the heart and grounded nature of God of War (2018). From beginning to end, it’s an exciting romp that delivers a steady stream of thrills, whether you’re going through its captivating story, engaging with its massively improved combat, or getting lost in the endlessly explorable and wonderfully designed Nine Realms of Norse mythology. It might seen like an iterative upgrade on paper, but it’s much more than that- not for the first time, a new God of War game has come along and set a new standard for the medium at large. Anyone with a passing interest in games has to play God of War Ragnarok.    … Expand

    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.
