    I already loved the last God of War from 2018. The characters, the world and the overall detail of the nordic mythology made it a masterpiece.

    Really good game, with a few woke moments here and there but most of it is worth playing. Awesome gameplay, astonishing graphics and a really good story, I'm really glad we are finally able to see Kratos under a different light. It was a really good game.

A cool innovation was that you could sometimes play with Atreus and these were so much fun. They had Freya, Brok or Sindri as an accompaniment and that fitted perfectly with the story. Kratos and Freya had an unbelievable character development that made me even cry sometimes. Many plot twists, which surprised me very much with an ending that could not have been better. I could talk about this game for years and how perfect it is but I think we all know how good this game is.… Expand

    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

    Very good work at the cinematics but that's it.
    Feels like a long dlc and not a proper sequel.
    Once the sequels were different from the original game, so you saw something else.

All too often a wonderful cool event will happen and just as it is winding down with the music still playing a damn tutorial will appear, completely taking me out of it. This is even with tutorials on minimum. There is also the issue of the NPCs telling you the solutions to puzzles before you get the chance to even look around properly. it's infuriating to be given a puzzle and then a second later the NPC says, oh you should try and hit that over there. The UX design is ABSOLUTELY the number 1 reason this didn't win game of the year.

    Guys, when you release this for PC can you please sort out the UX design. Also, the menu system and the excessive stats and upgrades could do with being reworked. This game is so damn confusing in that department.    … Expand

    전투 이팩트가 화려하고 싸우는 맛이 있는 게임이자 스토리가 훌륭한 게임. 듀얼센스로 사소한 것까지 다 잡아줘서 실감나는 게임인데 퍼즐 요소는 호불호가 많이 갈릴 것 같음. 어느정도는 좋았지만 너무 많은 퍼즐요소는 가끔 지루하게 함.

    Some of the best character writing coupled with a master class story and a great score. Takes all the shortcomings of god of war (2018) and improves on them. Better enemy variety, more boss fights and bigger set pieces the combat feels more fluid and engaging than the last game. Easily the system seller for years to come that the ps5 desperately needed.

    I thought this game took everything that was good about the 2018 smash and elevated it. It felt like a great continuation that gave me an ending I wasn’t expecting but thoroughly enjoyed.

    they destroy all created in gow 2018. why? why the rushing the saga in only two games? the potencial of north mitology was amazing. the ragnarok its only one hour over 30. groa lies? false. they only do that cause they want do only 2 games.

    Awful. They made Kratos into a baby crying for his momma. 0/10, one of the worst games on the PS5. Awful voice acting and forgettable side characters. They should scrape the God of War series as it always sells 0 copies and no one likes it. The only way the next God of War could be saved is if they replaced Kratos with Jesus Christ.

    after playing GoW 2018 and rating it 10 this sequel was very disappointing. the handholding was so frustrating like let me figure out the puzzles by myself. the boss fights are disappointing and its titled Raganarok when in reality you only see and played against him for a short time. The cinematics are too long too.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    Jogo é bom (melhor que o primeiro), mas carrega muitas falhas de seu antecessor, como a falta de um botão de pulo e a exploração chatíssima.

    Not only is it better than the first but it **** all over any Marvel or DC film in terms of storytelling, character development and cinematics. BUY THIS GAME IF YOU HAVEN’ T ALREADY !!!!

    Uno de los mejores títulos de Play Station. Es una continuación que mejora todo lo anterior con una mitología nórdica fantástica. Los combates pueden ser un poco repetitivos cuando llevas unas horas jugando, pero la historia atrapa de tal manera que querrás saber como acaba. Santa Monica lo volvió hacer ¡Bravo!

    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.
