    Las misiones secundarias son muy buenas, en cada lugar hay algo que encontrar.
    El gameplay es la evolución del juego de 2018 en todos los sentidos... así que si te gustó el juego de 2018 este te va a gustar mucho más(;

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War: Ragnarok has been one of my most anticipated games all year, and it did not disappoint. The game feels flawless in execution, from gameplay, to graphics, to storytelling. The boss fights are intense and challenging. The regular enemies take skill to take out without being overwhelmed. All the meanwhile you feel badass every time you finish an enemy with a classic Kratos execution. The most surprising part of this game is how it transitioned from the last game feeling like Kratos’ story and Atreus was just a part in it, to this game, where Atreus really takes the lead and becomes his own character and not just “BOY”. As events unfolded I found myself wondering throughout the entirety of the game, will they follow fate. Will things turn out exactly how they did in the prophecies. The only demerit I have for this game is that Kratos could not wield Mjölnir, though it is understandable as I believe even Kratos himself would not think he was worthy. It’s sad to see the game get review bombed just for being a Sony exclusive when it is such a masterpiece of story telling and immersion. I would consider this game a must play for anyone and everyone.… Expand

    I signed up to metacritic just to leave a review, the first time I’ve ever done so because I haven’t loved a game like this in over a decade. God of War (2018) was a great game, but this was on another level. I’m speechless about how much I enjoyed this game, one of the best I’ve ever played. Absolutely amazing.

I thought it near impossible to improve on everything from its predecessor, but they have done it and did it beautifully. Not a lot of enemy variety was my main complaint of God of War 2018, but they took that to heart and added much more enemy variety. IGod of War Ragnarok is my new favorite game of all time.

    The game's narrative is very disjointed and the dialogue is poorly written. If you like Marvel quips you'll like dialogue, but if you're like me and you're a bit fatigued by that style of humor or you never liked it to begin with then much of the dialogue is very eyeroll inducing.

    The game has other issues as well, such as not innovating much from 2018, very tedious level design in one of the major zones and and a few sections of the game that are very unfun and drag on entirely too long, but to me those are all secondary concerns compared to the writing.    … Expand

    GoW ragnarök is based on classic Sony formula which turns games to boring simulator. It's repetitive and has lots of puzzles, not much new mechanics for a sequel. Game has 20-25 hours gameplay and just 10 hours is a pure cutscene.

    Santa Monica should transfer this game's licences to Naught Dog.

    Un juego impresionante con una historia digna de contar en la saga de God of War, el fin de la saga nordica cierra los cabos sueltos que dejo la entrega anterior y mejora por completo,tanto el gameplay como el mundo que hay por explorar,o mejor decir,los 9 reinos que hay para explorar. Sin duda un juegazo de inicio a fin con un reto para el jugador.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So where to begin. I really anticipated this game. Watched the release time go down like every evening after work. Than it finally came out. I started it and than.. Nothing. I just felt nothing. As the game starts you get pushed into a story a few years ahead after the end of part one. Now Fimbulwinter is reigning over the land. Simply form the very first scene, where Kartons sits at the bonfire In this cave the game didn't Catch me at all. The scene is way to long, and because there is no talking or any other significant action you don't know how to deal with it. Then both go to their sled and then finally you start taking real action in the game for the very first time. But still. No feelings.. You drive, they talk, the things spoken are not very interesting so far... Then out of nowhere Freya starts attacking you. Now there is the first time where we engage in that what the God of War franchise is known for the best. Fighting. But the fight just feels not right. I mean she has power over the land and stuff because of her magic powers and she easily could crush them in between all the rocks and stuff but she didn't. It just feels like the developers wanted to kickstart the game with this fight but they got it completely wrong. I mean why is she fighting them like this. I mean it should feel like hell brake loose. It is simply missing something. And this feeling carries on and on and on through out the whole game. I can understand that the game story wise needed to skip some years and that there are things like the dog dying and stuff that are new that need time to be explained. But the game, as good as it looks and as big and wound the story is meant to be, it lacks the one thing every game must have in order to make you feel like playing it all day long. It does not draw you into the world into the realm of the game. It does not give you the feeling of being a part of this world. I did not finish the game. This I need to say. Because every time I start it, after 10 minutes I want to close it. There is something in myself that tells me: "You are wasting your time." The only thing that kept me playing as far as I have played it (like 7-8 hours) is the combat and the possibility to discover and loot the world. I don't care for the story. There are so many things that disappoint me that make me really really sad, because the potential of a story and world like this is insane. Another big point where the developers, in my opinion, failed, is the music. The atmosphere. The level design it self is mind blowing immersive if you know how long it takes to build something impressive like this. The lighting is extremely good to. But there is no fitting music and therefor, completely missing atmosphere. This whole potential gets overlooked. You just go through the game like: "Yeah what ever." I remember God of War 2, the steeds of time level where you can just stand at the front end of the horses - the part where you have to free them - and the music is so subliminal but epic that it awakens a feeling in you like, you can really relate to the giantess and epic scale of the whole game. Within this few notes you can here the whole story of the game. But this feeling is missing completely. Any feeling is missing. They try to force you to feel, with overpriced emotional moments but again you don't get the chance to relate to the scenes. Next big negativ point are the conversations, mostly hollow and to modern, when it comes to the chosen words. Especially when Atreus speaks. In parts of the story logic is completely missing. Example: Atreus and Sindri secretly go to the lake of the nine - a well known area form the first game. There they try to awaken the world serpent. Sindri asks Atreus if he has tried calling the serpent. Then Atreus said that the horn was of no use. Than Sindri says: "Im not talking about the horn." And he immediatly starts calling the serpent in the ancient language it understands. LIKE WTF. He was there, year after year knowing that he can just call her and never did it. That makes absolutely no sense to me. Even the appearance of Thor and Odin is lame as hell. Such massive Characters - Lore wise - and then Thor appears just like that, simply walks in their house and says: "Nice place." In those moments I instantly want to close the game and delete it. Even Odin he just appears like that. I mean he is the Highest God of this realm and comes into his house, just like that to make a deal. And the whole situation with all the conversations just feels like the developers just wanted to get over with the introduction. Heartless. I would have wished for some more epic scale for their appearance. Something that does justice to the greatest gods in the realm. In my opinion, after so many great anticipated titles in last years that turn out to be hollow and superficial. Maybe its time to go back to the basics of gaming where the game it self did not needed to be a movie but something we love to play.… Expand

    Ragnarok is a disappointing sequel that fails to capture the magic of its predecessor. The story feels rushed and lacks depth, leaving players unsatisfied. The combat, once exhilarating, now feels repetitive and uninspired. Overall, it's a lackluster addition to the God of War franchise.

    This game no more than 7 out of 10, the same elements from the previous game,
    Slow and boring gameplay, mediocre story, bad AI enemies, repetitive enemies.

It’s has the same hack and slash element as the 2018 version, but some some new additional moves/combinations. I was expecting it to be on par graphically as say, Horizon forbidden west, it’s not.
    The bosses feel numb and un-rewarding when beaten. The only time I enjoyed this game, was when briefly you get to play as additional characters. Personally, I got bored of this game within the first few hours. It is most certainly a dlc of the 2018 game. Marketed as more. Genuinely dissatisfied and feel like £70 down the drain.

    It's a good videogame but not a Master piece, my low rating is for the PS5 version because it's exactly the same game than PS4 but more expensive, there isn't a new generation in this videogame, don't buy PS5 version it's a rip-off

    Most anticipated disappointment of the year. Combat is same or worse than last iteration, slow clunky, easily stun locked, get hit with first artack of combo, well you're now stuck getting hit the rest because you cant move block duxk dip dive or dodge once you get hit. Your attacks never break enemy guard, they just tank through everything. Everything is a mob, amd if you play on anythingMost anticipated disappointment of the year.

    No se puede consentir todo a Sony, no pueden vender un juego que lleva en el nombre una de las sagas más emblemáticas de la historia del videojuego, y que visualmente no innove en nada con respecto al de 2018.

    No se puede consentir todo a Sony, no pueden vender un juego que lleva en el nombre una de las sagas más emblemáticas de la historia del videojuego, y que visualmente no innove en nada con respecto al de 2018. Es un juego pasillero a más no poder (falsamente la prensa de los videojuegos a nivel mundial nos lo han querido vender cómo la octava maravilla en un mundo abierto).

    No haces más que andar adelante y atrás en multitud de escenarios mientras Atreus te calienta la cabeza. Los escenarios son aburridos, repetitivos a más no poder. Los oponentes y sus físicas son de risa (por no decir que se quedan bugueados más de una vez, al igual que Kratos que se me ha quedado flotando fuera de uno de los escalones por los que trepas en dos ocasiones), las formas de atacar de los diferentes tipos de adversarios son básicamente las mismas.
    El audio merece una mención a parte, porque también falla. En ocasiones se quedan pillados los sonidos de respiración de Kratos en bucle, y también otros efectos sonoros.

    Es un juego lento, carece de ritmo (hasta hacerse tedioso y aburrido) y para colmo tras 12 horas de juego te puedes echar las manos a la cabeza con el absurdo inclusismo metido a calzador.

    Lo siento, soy un fan acérrimo de la saga. Pero esto no es ni la sombra de lo que ha sido Kratos y God of War.

    Por suerte la tienda online donde lo he comprado no pone pegas a la hora de devolver un juego abierto. Recuperaré los 80€ y cuando valga 20€ o incluso menos, entonces lo volveré a comprar por el mero hecho de tener mi saga favorita completa, pero poco más. Porque es un sin sentido lo que le han hecho.    … Expand

    A few really good fights and an awesome story unfortunately ruined by terrible pacing and gameplay. The majority of the game is spent on frustrating mandatory fetch quests, puzzles, walking simulation, and unskippable cutscenes. If you're already bought into the story from the first game it might be worth the time, but if you're looking for a fun video game this isn't it.

    Santa Monica lost all my grace when I discovered in the game a skill tutorial "Death from Above" and that I strictly remember was the hall mark of "Middle Earth - Shadow of Mordor". Santa Monica thought that people might have forgottton about that game and we have a chance to gather few gems from that mightest title of the year 2012. which also happened to be the GOTY. Now this isSanta Monica lost all my grace when I discovered in the game a skill tutorial "Death from Above" and that I strictly remember was the hall mark of "Middle Earth - Shadow of Mordor". Santa Monica thought that people might have forgottton about that game and we have a chance to gather few gems from that mightest title of the year 2012. which also happened to be the GOTY. Now this is disgraceful. For a highly hyped game, you are copying ideas from another masterpiece instead of crafting your own!. Plus when I paid attention, the music intrument too is exactly the same which was in the background music of Shadow of mordor, Of Course one would always crave to make titles which came out of no where (Unlike GOW which has developed grounds for pre-hyped anticipation) and made amass players fall in love with it's fight mechanics and combat systems. Speaking of fighting mechanics, Let me emphasize first that this is a 2022 title, The developers should strive to impress the audience, not some average combat mechanics which are only made cinametically impressive with button pressings i.e. O, R1, L1, L1+R1 etc. because they couldn't craft such mechanics into skill-based combat so they made it fixed like a movie, that's completely not fine. I urge every GOW fan to at least play a full gamethrough of a 2007's Dark Sector, and you will forget the Kratos Axe, and admire the fighing mechanics it offers ( Provided you like skill based combat as opposed to pre-fetched combat scenes). Anyway, I wanted to enlighten the GOW fans that it's developers are cherry-picking ideas from another massively successful title, but still didn't manage to surpass or even give us at it's par combat system which we could really enjoy.
    * And for a true gamer, which isn't really interested in a dull story line, they should have given the option to ski the cinametics, Seriously?, we have had far better stories to watch out there, it's a waste of time, watching a dull movie, which can't be skipped in it's fresh experience ( I know once you finish the game, you can skip in the Game+, but why not at our will)

    ** Wolfs: As far as I remember, In the first game, we have been slaying wolves, and all of a sudden here we see "The Boy" has a wolf pet, which as it dies, attempts to give a grieving touch to it. Hey? if you want to make it emotional, better make a attached character from the last episode die instead of a new "Wolf" which came out of no where, I didn't care even a little about it.

    Overall, there are far better games out there to play and have fun with, and at most this is going to be a one-time playthrough for me, unlike some other games out there, where gameplay never gets old!.    … Expand

Kratos is now going to be worshipped, the Norse gods died, the prophecy that kratos would die wasn't true because apparently Sony doesn't want to kill their golden goose. Such an MCU ending. Kratos has literally killed all the people of Greece because when the Olympians died Greece itself died but now people worship him because he is a decent father?

    This game should have been about kratos doing everything he can to avoid Ragnarok because he knows when you kill the gods the lands itself dies and it should have ended with kratos dying.    … Expand

    Time to beat is 20-25 hours and just under 15.5 hours of that is cutscenes.
    They've Marvel-ified/Reddit-ified the story and characters even more than the previous game.

    Most people are rating this game based on the name alone, this game is no better than the previous game, except with more cinematic’s and even on a PS5 it doesn’t even look any better than the previous game, too much walking, talking, and cinematic’s, they are charging $74.99 for these games, they really have to do better, maybe Forspoken will be the GOTY, it’s definitely not this one.

    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.
