    I thought that more GOW would be fine but they managed to meet AND exceed the expectations I had. The story is incredible. The gameplay feels so solid. Finished the story in approx 30 hours but so much more to enjoy!

    Troppo severo il pubblico nei confronti di God of War Ragnarok. È un seguito in forte continuità con God of War (2018). Spero che venga realizzato God of War 2 come seguito di God of War Ragnarok che vengano aggiunti approcci più vari a God of War Ragnarok.

    What an absolute masterpiece. This game takes you in a rollercoaster of emotions, action, fear, discovery, and so many more. It just keeps you engaged from start to finish.

    Amazing story, shows how a good, polished game doesn't need to be uninspired.

    Ragnarok gripped me from the first second to the last, providing a sensational conclusion to the series.

    With great enemy variety and super diverse combat options even from the start, it felt even more fun to hack n slash monsters than in the original God of War (2018).

    The great cast of characters was a lot more fleshed out, involving them in different parts of the story, usually as team ups with varied combinations. This ended up being a fantastic idea in order to give each of them a lot of time interacting with each other and expressing their feelings or telling their stories, also further developing different relationships.

    Atreus was more mature and had a lot more to say in this one, he was no longer either a docile punching bag or a bratty rebel, Kratos himself grew a lot as well.

    The set pieces were spectacular and I've also enjoyed the enemy design a lot more, especially in terms of the bigger opponents, it felt like I could interact with them consistently and they were a lot more visible and transparent with their attacks.

    The acting performances were also amazing, I could really feel the emotion coming out of them during dramatic moments as well as being charmed or otherwise amused at the more comical scenes.

    If I had any criticism it would be with the way some fights are designed... in the sense that sometimes there seems to be a philosophy of "throw as much stuff at Kratos as possible in order to increase difficulty", which, combined with the enemies being able to instantly jump backwards on the opposite end of the entire arena and multiple enemies surrounding you or throwing moving balls of fire at you, it turns into a fiesta where you have to track a million things at once with a relatively limiting camera.    … Expand

    first, I thought that this game is just an asset flip from the first one and I hated to see the same animations and textures. But after playing for 6+ hours I didn't care about that stuff because I was engaged in the story, characters and gameplay. This game feels like the first part, 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.

    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.
