    I know people don’t like to read things like if you liked the first game (2018) then you will like this one, but this is a perfect example of that being true. Go ahead and hit that unhelpful button for me. I don’t want to tell you anything about this game that could be a spoiler, so if you played the first game, then you should play this one unless you didn’t like the first game.

I don’t want to tell you anything about this game that could be a spoiler, so if you played the first game, then you should play this one unless you didn’t like the first game. I absolutely loved the first game (2018), and I almost feel the same way about this one, it’s continuing to grow on me, but it might not be quite as special to me as the 2018 game. Conversely, if the 2018 game didn’t do much for you, this one won’t either. I think the combat is better, but it’s similar, so keep that in mind if you are deciding whether to play this one. If you didn’t play the 2018 predecessor, you have to play that one before this one.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute masterpiece and best game of 2022. I love the story, the ending, the characters, the voice acting, the gameplay, the music.. I just love everything about this game.

    Plus, I kinda already figured that you'd be able to play as Atreus, but I didn't think he'd be so fun to play as! My only gripe is that you can't play as him again once you finish the main story. But it just means that I'm gonna have to play through it again, and I will NOT complain about that.    … Expand

    Игру тащит назад пс4. Кратосу тесно) и если оценивать игру как для пс4 то это тупо топ. Но для пс5 техническое состояние игры говорит или даже кричит что игра немного устарела. Из-за этого я не могу ей за геймплей дать 9 баллов даже. Это 8. Но боевая система всё ещё одна из лучших в соешерах, потому это 9. Десять не могу дать из-за вторичности. Сюжет и красота картинки чисто идеальный шедевр на 10. Музыка бога до сих пор пробирает за мурашки. Каждый персонаж уникален и интересен. Я дам игре на метакритике 10ку всё равно, просто потому что таких игр и в этом жанре ну просто нет. Но для меня из-за пс4 обратки это 9.5.

    Итак. 40 часов.

    Беру свои слова обратно. Геймплей 9 тупо из-за разнообразия. Они просто задавили им.

    Боевая система 9. Это то что надо пробовать. Такого слешера не было ранее нигде в какие я только слешеры не играл. Прямо супер вау от всего, что они понаделывали нет, но это однозначно стоит пробовать каждому любителю слешеров. Это очень необычно. Не знаю как они это всё поместили на пс4. Возможно даже 9.5 потому что тупо разнообразием задавили.

    Сюжет 10. Это чистый шедевр во всех аспектах. От кончиков сайдов до волосков основного сюжета пока что.

    Музыка 10. Новые эмбиенты хороши.

    Игра пока что не может достигнуть вау эффекта от первой части. Но она уже борется за место в топе. Моих игр. Сони выдрочили сука каждый кустик в гейм дизайнерском плане. Очень порционно и без передоза поддается вообще всё, от нововведений в геймплее до сюжета. Каждые 4-8 часов игра меняется очень сильно.    … Expand

    I don't usually write reviews or give ratings, but God of war is one of my favorite series along with mass effect and tlou. As with the original, the developers managed to improve the original formula and make an already excellent game even better. I liked the graphics, characters, variety. I can't find any disadvantages. The best game of 2022.

    10/10 easily

    Amazing game, good story and awesome combat, soundtrack is epic as hell.
    Even better than 2018 GOW.
    Good character development too.

    Sadly some Polish and Russian speaking people are reviewing bombing cause it isnt dubbed in their language *insert facepalm*.
    or people forget its a sequel: so yes its gonna take place in the same realms ofc...

    No spoiler here, i just want to say for who never played this game: worth it to try. The game-play rescue the best of the first God of War and innovate in crucial aspects. The dynamic is perfect, makes you want to explore each corner and also makes you wanna progress in main story. I have no words to say about the graphics. One of the best games i ever played in my life

    El camino de Kratos y Atreus es también el nuestro. Todos los personajes, desde los protagonistas a los secundarios están escritos a la perfección y con los mejores diálogos (y doblaje) que se han visto en un videojuego.
    Uno de los videojuegos con un tratamiento más adulto de todos los tiempos, en la línea de TLOU2.
    Las sorpresas que ofrece a lo largo del juego, ofreciéndonos una visión que no esperábamos y seguramente la mejor para la saga.
    Gráficamente, pese a ser intergeneracional, es ya el juego más avanzado tecnológicamente de la nueva generación. Simplemente apabullante.
    Todos y cada uno de los nueve reinos a explorar, con decenas de secundarias y tareas a realizar.
    Combate ultrasatisfactorio, con muchas posibilidades de superar al enemigo.
    Los jefes finales, mucho más abundantes y variados, a la altura de God of War 3.
    Secundarias de calidad, que alargan el juego de forma interesante y que aporta a la historia.
    Sobre las 50 horas cuesta completarlo al 100%, una excelente duración para el género.
    Dificultad con algun que otro pico desafiante. Sacar el platino cuesta sudor y sangre gracias a los Berserkers.
    Todo lo que hacía God of War 2018, este lo hace más y mejor.

    God of War Ragnarök is everything 2018 is, but better. I mean, every little thing has been improved one way or the other, and almost 10 hours in, it shows very well. 2018 was already a critically acclaimed “masterpiece”, but Ragnarök takes it a step forward and really shows the talent at Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, and this game is the crown jewel of the PS5 so far. 10/10 worth playing,God of War Ragnarök is everything 2018 is, but better.

    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.
