    One of playstations best ever games made in my opinion as someone who has been gaming for 25+ years. The graphics are incredible if your lucky enough to own a ps5 and a lg oled c1 this game is simply beautiful in 120 frames mode. The game has a new weapon, a spear which is great fun and new realms. It is anything but the same as the old game. Anyone complaining is playing on the dated ps4One of playstations best ever games made in my opinion as someone who has been gaming for 25+ years.

It is anything but the same as the old game. Anyone complaining is playing on the dated ps4 at 30 frames. It's brilliant. I will add also there is ALOT of content and it took me 40 hours 17 minutes and I still have mini bosses to defeat and side quests to do. That is value for money Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well where do I begin.......... After the success of God Of War on PS4 back in 2018 I never expect a sequel to surpass the 1st game?........... BUT how wrong I was.
    This game is a masterpiece and must be played!!!!
    Awesome graphics, the world's look amazing, the frame rate is adequate...... And the story has you at the edge of your seat from start to finish.
    I purchased this game on the PlayStation Store........ I have last gen AND current Gen versions........... I have been playing the PS4 version on the PlayStation 5 and I have zero complaints with the games stability? Maybe the PlayStation 5 Is making the game run and look better?
    I won't post any spoilers but the story was tugging on my heart strings at certain points, I actually finished the story earlier today and once I unlock all trophies on PS4......... I am loading the PlayStation 5 version and starting again because I have loved every second of the game

    Metacritic debería de implementar un sistema para que solo las personas que han jugado el juego puedan votar, allí se mirarían las notas reales y no la de haters frustados. Cualquiera que ha jugado GOWR sabe perfectamente que este juego no es de 0.

    Por favor, no seamos toxicos ni haters. El review bombing es asqueroso e inmaduro. Le doy 10 puntos porque el GOW 2018 ya me encantó antes,

    Por favor, no seamos toxicos ni haters. El review bombing es asqueroso e inmaduro. Le doy 10 puntos porque el GOW 2018 ya me encantó antes, este lleva esa fórmula a otro nivel, mejora lo que ya teníamos, y nos da lo que al juego anterior le faltaba. El combate se ha pulido, hay más variedad de enemigos y jefes y matarlos es muy satisfactorio, gráficamente es majestuoso, sobre todo en PS5 y la historia es atrapante y cautivadora.

    It’s a must play if you have a PlayStation. It improves upon Gow 2018 in nearly every way. Better combat, more boss fights, more enemy variety, more world variety. The story was more grand and complex, and some of the emotion and tension that was there in the 2018 game was missing. Despite that the story was extremely emotional. These moments will probably hit you hard. My only complaintIt’s a must play if you have a PlayStation. It improves upon Gow 2018 in nearly every way.

I got the platinum trophy and have seen everything there is to offer. There are still characters that I would like to speak with but can’t, which is disappointing. If you are even thinking about buying the game, just do it. You won’t regret it. 9.5/10 Expand

    an amazing sequel to the God of war 2018
    And the lack of different type of enemies and boss fights in the last game is no longer a fact in this part

Such a game which deserves more than one run! I am so happy that I started this game series just 10 days ago. Part 1 was so addictive, Part 2 even more. As a Elden Ring finisher I enjoy the fighting system very much. Just a recommendation for everyone! 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.

    Very cool game, in my opinio the best one of the franchise, the history, the blades of chaos, the axe, the battle in the beginning (i cant give spoilers here rsrs). Im playin in PS5 and thinking this game a master piece, one of my favorites I have ever played

    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.
