    Minha franquia de jogos favorita, possivelmente uma das maiores de toda a indústria de games, o jogo é extremamente otimizado na antiga geração de consoles.

Depois de tantos jogos, a história ainda continua interessante, o único ponto negativo é que God of War elevou tanto o nível dos inimigos que todo final teria que ser épico, o que não acontece aqui, de um ponto de vista narrativo faz sentido, é uma puta evolução de personagens, só que para quem espera algo semelhante aos clássicos e até mesmo o de 2018 não é esse o caso. Mais no geral eu gostei, teve algumas mudanças e aprimoramentos em relação ao de 2018 que foram legais, muito provavelmente a gameplay dos próximos terão um punch maior tanto na história quanto na gameplay, o que infelizmente não deve chegar a antiga geração. Ansioso para a continuação ou um remake dos clássicos. Eu platinei o jogo.… Expand

    I would give it 9,5/10 if there was an option. But this will do for now. The game is absolutely incredible with only a couple of promblems. +the combat has many builds, it is flashy but doesn’t take control away and it is mostly perfectly balanced
    +the characters all have their own amazing arcs and even Freya, a character that I hated, became alright by the end

Llevo 50 horas jugando al videojuego, terminé la historia principal y la mayoría del contenido secundario y en conclusión puedo decir que está al nivel del anterior, es superior en algunos aspectos pero en otros es inferior.

    Gráficos: 10
    Si jugaste al GoW 2018 con la actualización de PS5 te puedes hacer una buena idea de como se verá este nuevo juego. Es muy difícil que mejore gráficamente al juego de 2018 porque gráficamente es perfecto. Ahora GoW Ragnarok luce muchísimo más gracias a los entornos más variados. Los modelos de los personajes son excelentes en todos los aspectos, y el rendimiento es increíblemente bueno, mantiene los 60 fps de manera consistente.

    Sonido: 9
    La música está bien, pero tampoco es que cobre tanta importancia como ocurre en otros juegos como Final Fantasy XVI o Persona 5, la música de Ragnarok es buena pero no me pareció espectacular. Lo más sobresaliente es que el juego tiene audio disponible en una gran cantidad de idiomas y en mi caso me quedo una vez más con las voces en inglés.

    Jugabilidad: 8
    Ragnarok patina muy feo en el apartado jugable, para mi gusto hicieron el juego demasiado injusto para el jugador. Arruinaron muchas cosas en el aspecto jugable que tenia el primero Kratos se siente extremadamente débil y la mitad de los enemigos que encuentras en el juego pueden matarlo fácilmente de 3-4 golpes mientras que Kratos requiere conectar como una docena de golpes para derrotar a esos enemigos. Hay muchos enemigos que son literalmente esponjas de daño, y durante los combates aparecen y aparecen enemigos de la nada siempre buscando hacer daño por atrás y algunos de ellos volando por todo el escenario.
    También es ridículo ver como muchos adversarios caminan como si nada ante los ataques de Kratos y se mueven libremente mientras son atacados y además son capaces de interrumpir tus ataques mientras ellos son atacados. Los ataques rúnicos no tienen frames de invencibilidad y te dejan por completo vulnerable, incluso cuando conectan.
    Ahora, la mayoría de los jefes vuelan a velocidades ridículas por todo el escenario y las peleas contra ellos aburren porque parecen siempre lo mismo, la mayoría tienen patrones muy similares, siempre peleando de manera cobarde, con un patrón de pega y corre, spameando proyectiles, volando de un lado a otro para arruinar el enfoque.
    La ira activada con L3+R3 ha sido nerfeada de manera importante, casi no hace daño y es ridículo ver que tantos golpes causan tan poco daño, sin embargo sique siendo un recurso útil para interrumpir los ataques ridículos inbloqueables de los jefes y acortar distancia cuando se ponen a volar como locos por todo el escenario, por lo que recomiendo mucho activarlo para interrumpir ataques, acercarte, desactivarlo y continuar con ataques con armas.
    Otro aspecto que me molestó un poco es que también hayan nerfeado terriblemente las habilidades del escudo, ahora ya no tiene un árbol de habilidad como en el juego anterior, quizás porque ahora Kratos ya no depende tanto de quedarse sin un arma, al contar ahora con tres distintas.
    Por último, en el juego puedes utilizar a Atreus en algunas misiones. Sin embargo controlar a Atreus es super aburrido y simple y la mayoría de las veces consideré sus escenarios como simple relleno.

    Contenido: 9
    El contenido secundario mejoró enormenente. La historia principal apenas cubre un 30% del contenido total del juego. Hay muchas misiones secundarias, las cuales permiten expandir el lore. En Ragnarok puedes explorar los reinos que no estaban y la mayoría de ellos son mundos enormes, semiabiertos, con muchas misiones secundarias, muchos sub jefes, tesoros y muchas recompensas por descubrir.
    No le puse una nota perfecta al contenido porque al principio tiene mucho relleno, el juego es super pesado al principio, puzzles, puzzles, y más puzzles, muchos de ellos muy mal explicados. Recuerdo que en la primera misión conté como una docena de puzzles, y así sucede con las primeras tres misiones principales.
    Las misiones de Atreus son muy aburridas también, para mi aportan muy poco e incluso alentan el ritmo y disminuyen las ganas por jugar.

    Personajes/Historia: 10
    Excelente historia, personajes memorables y excelentes actuaciones. Aquí el juego es soberbio.

    Conclusión: Es un gran juego y sería perfecto de no ser porque el combate ahora es muy injusto para el jugador, lo cual lo hace muy frustante en algunos momentos, con un Kratos increíblemente más débil que la mayoría de los enemigos y los problemas de ritmo que se sienten sobre todo al principio del juego y que me hicieron muy pesado el principio del juego.    … Expand

    No superó el del 2018, Atreus es un niño malcriado y lo deteste. Disfrute mejor él del 2018. Los personajes en especial Odin parecía uno de esos señores que son vagabundos, sin buena presentación y su arte es verdaderamente grotesco. Pensé que Odin tendría una armadura imponente y respetar el nombre que lleva. No no no. Lo platinie pero jamás lo volvería a tocar.

    In the vast landscape of gaming, expectations loom large. Anticipation can often overshadow the product itself. "God of War Ragnarok" is a lamentable example of when such promises not only fall flat but tumble into an abyss of mediocrity.

    From its onset, the game grapples with an identity crisis. Gone is the gravitas of Kratos, replaced with a caricature of his former self. The brooding god, once a paragon of rage and redemption, now seems lost, adrift in a sea of incongruous plotlines and half-baked character arcs.

    Graphically, one would expect a sequel to leverage advancements in technology. Sadly, "Ragnarok" appears to be stuck in time. The once pristine landscapes of Midgard are marred by texture pop-ins, and character models, surprisingly, lack the attention to detail the previous installment was lauded for. Interactions with the world around you feel stilted, a far cry from the dynamic and responsive environment of its predecessor.

    Narratively, the game falters with every step. The plot is a labyrinthine mess of convoluted sub-stories, none of which seem to resonate or culminate in anything meaningful. What was once a poignant tale of father and son is now overshadowed by a cacophony of irrelevant side quests and banal dialogues.

    Combat, the series' backbone, feels sluggish and unresponsive. The visceral fluidity of the earlier game's combat system is replaced with a clunky mechanism that often feels like a chore rather than an exhilarating dance of death.

    It's truly disheartening to witness such a fall from grace. A franchise that once stood as a beacon of storytelling and gameplay innovation now stands as a cautionary tale of squandered potential.

    In conclusion, "God of War Ragnarok" is a disservice to its legacy. It's a jumbled mosaic of misplaced ambitions and underwhelming execution. One can only hope that the series finds its way back to the pantheon of gaming greats in future iterations.    … Expand

    The overall impression of this game is really really bad.

    The story is lack luster and kratos (who is a very ugly character with an even uglier personality) son is the most annoying part of this game. The combat system is as dull as in every other hack and slay game and the puzzle sections are just pathetically easy and made for kids of age 6! Graphics are not good at all and    The overall impression of this game is really really bad.

    I don't know how biased or addicted to fentanyl people can be to rate this game higher than a 0 tbh.

    The management and the devs should be ashamed of themselves and all the studios involved should disband to make sure that less people are being harmed by their products in the future.    … 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.
