    No me gusto ni poquito, como es posible que con ese costo que tiene en este momento los juegos de ps 5 (con su nueva tarifa de precios para los nueva generacion) el juego solo sea una continuación del anterior GOW, no tiene nada de nuevo, deberia ser visto como expansión no como juego nuevo y si compre un ps5 es para jugar juegos nuevos exclusivos para esta consola no jugar juegos de ps4No me gusto ni poquito, como es posible que con ese costo que tiene en este momento los juegos de ps 5 (con su nueva tarifa de precios para los nueva generacion) el juego solo sea una continuación del anterior GOW, no tiene nada de nuevo, deberia ser visto como expansión no como juego nuevo y si compre un ps5 es para jugar juegos nuevos exclusivos para esta consola no jugar juegos de ps4 mas caros en una consola diferente Expand

    God of war ragnarök is a masterpiece level game. We rarely see such a story presentation next to great action.

    Overall, a disappointment. The current director is nowhere near as talented as the last one. Playinh as Atreus on GMGW mode is pathetic. I had fun for awhile, but this game does not have any replayability value. Its just an average game really.

    Same game as 2018 with a couple little things added, your typical repetitive Sony game that follows a safe formula. Your freedom in this game is very limited kinda like Uncharted where you can only climb on yellow painted ledges because Sony thinks we are too dumb to know where to jump.

This is the pinnacle of gaming. The story by itself is better than any movie i have seen in my life. The combat is thrilling, and the characters are so interesting. The way Kratos and Atreus develop and grow during the game is inspiring. And i love how the game is a perfect continuation of the first game, and has a perfect ending too.

    There are a lot more new and terrifying enemies, a lot more gods, bigger map, better side quests, and more beautiful atmosphere than in any game ever!

    I am truly inspired by all the people who had a hand in creating this game, you all rock!

    I laughed, i cried, i screamed and had intense moments. This game marked a moment in time for me.
    Thank you Santa Monica studio, for an unforgettable experience.

Why is the plot full of inconcistencies, like why neither Atreus nor Kratos understand that Durlinn is a traitor & the weird behavior of Tyr is because he is Odin disguised? Or are they just braindead in this entry? & yes, it IS a plot hole or an inconsistency, 'cause they are SUPPOSED to be extremely smart, Kratos back in Greece solved giant puzzles crafted by Daedalus, the creator of the labyrinth & Atreus is his son... why couldn't they see right through fake Týr? Why is Odin sooooo dumb? I mean, you don't go to some1 who is searching for a supposed dead man & show/express you're bothered or annoyed by it. It basically confirms the dude is ALIVE! Ok it was so that he could trick them & gather info by posing as him, but he NEVER used anything he learned among his enemies to have a leg up, so he's a moron regardless Expand

    The game's combat was freaking amazing a straight 10/10, the best soundtracks ever in a God Of War game but the story was lacking not in a bad story sense but it was lacking the momentum of a God Of War game so id give 8/10 to story.. so all that said 9/10 is a perfect score for this game..

The game is a visual masterpiece, the story telling really gave you insights into the character’s history but the actual store felt rushed yet drawn-out at the same time. I expected more from the final battles/moments of the game. Expand

    First of all i have to say that God of war always been one of my favorite franchise since i played the first game on the PS2.

    Ragnarock have to be the worst Gow ever made. 1. Very bad pacing. 2. lack of combo 3. some meaningless characters in the game we dont care about. 4. A reuse of a lot of sony mechanics that they had in many of their game in the past 10 years i am not able to

    Ragnarock have to be the worst Gow ever made.

    1. Very bad pacing.
    2. lack of combo
    3. some meaningless characters in the game we dont care about.
    4. A reuse of a lot of sony mechanics that they had in many of their game in the past 10 years i am not able to stand anymore since they are in many of their franchise.
    5. I know its a linear game and not an open world but this have unnaceptable invisible walls for 2022. I have a puddle of water 3 feet away there is only grass but i cannot reach the puddle lol.
    6. this is because its crossed gen but still desapointing outdated level design.
    7. I remember back in the old GOW all the puzzle were different and some were tricky and you could die, the climbing in the previous GOW was more epic not jusct climbing mountains... example climbing on an actual titan, I feel the Reboot version of GOW lost some of its Scale epicness.
    I liked the 2018 game but this one is the The one that is now reaching a point of boredom.

    I still give 6 because we can see dev have worked hard on the game but i think the effert were not put at the right place.

    In comparison Elden ring from software took their dark souls franchise but cranked everything by 100. made it open world, made exploration viceral the rewards were always a surprise, a freedom of exploration, they added great things like gorse combat they managed to really improve the magic.. they made incredible art visual even if the graphics were not the best.

    To me Gow feel like a rushed uninpiring game. The story was ok but like i said half of it was boring and could have been cutted to make it a way more viceral and well paced experience.

The ironwood part killed my soul, jokes beside the game is good combat is good, new areas are good, some of the side missions are fun to play, cinematography in this game is real good and exacting to watch but the main story, when i finished the main story i felt like i watched a marvel movie or something i dont know how did they make a boring Ragnarok story but the story is boring, it didnt feel like a god of war game and combat is still the same with the game when came on 2018. I can see there is few new abilitys but it doesnt change the gameplay and the enemys is just a copy paste from the first game even the finishing animations are the same. Before i played this game i expected so much but in the end it is still a good game but not a great game it would be much better if the game used the potential of what could be and last i want to say if this game is good it's because it's the first game released in 2018.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. very underrated game, it is far inferior to previous games in the franchise. Kratos in this game is very pathetic, he doesn't show anger at any point in the game. trailers promised a more bloodthirsty kratos for classic styles, but here half the game is followed by atreus. Kratos besides being excluded in the game doesn't really show an attitude of the classic games except in the Heimdall fight where the kratos really fights seriously in the game. the battles against the gods are horrible, it seems that we are facing just a common enemy of the game. and this question of kratos being nice to Thor instead of killing him is one of the biggest clichés I've ever seen, it sounds like the famous phrase "revenge is bad". but apart from 99% of all the crap in the game, graphics are the only thing that can save the game.

Within the first hour, the game is already trying to invoke tears into my eyes with the death of Atreus' wolf. Every part of this game is compelling. You can tell other people agree when over 10% of the people who played it have the platinum. There's always something to do, even when it can get tedious sometimes. My only problem with it was the fact that every time I play this, it overheats my PS5. Regardless if i wipe it down or lay it vertical. This may be a design flaw itself or the game is so intricate that even the 5th generation of console can't handle it. All around, this game is a must play and Santa Monica has developed a masterpiece. Expand

    Great narrative and characters and an amazing soundtrack (in my personal opinion). Gameplay is refined and an evolution of the 2018 game. When I started playing I wasn’t a fan of the new UI and menus (replayed GoW 2018 before the release of Ragnarok) but they have since grown on me. I personally love the combination of the linear story and the more open level design and exploration. TheGreat narrative and characters and an amazing soundtrack (in my personal opinion).

The game looks and runs great on PS5 and throughout my 40 hour play throughout I encountered only 1 bug (and it was hilarious, during gameplay). This game is a work of art and it might even take the top spot on my list (need a second play through first). Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War Ragnarok is a good game not great. I beat it 28 hours with some side quests done and my gear around level 7. I would consider the 2018 a 10/10. This misses the mark just a little. First off I didn’t need any of the moments you play as Atreus. He is under powered and just annoying to play as. I bought this game to play as “God of War” not his prepubescent son. He felt under powered even after I maxed out his bow and gear. 2nd other thing that marked it down for me was the story. It’s not that clear what you’re doing or why. Kratos is just trying to protect his son and Atreus is doing whatever. Not like in 2018 where it is a story of a father trying to connect with his son on this journey to honor their wife and mothers death while teaching his son about life. Then the macguffin of the mask in the game turns out to be nothing and it just disappears. Last the fight of Ragnarok was weak and how the fight with Thor ended with Odin killing him sucked. My advice is to play the 2018 and if you want to know what happens next, play this - just realize it has its limitations and weaknesses. Expand

Amazing game overall only minor nitpicks would be the pacing at some points *ahem ironwood* and the fact Thor isn’t shown as much as I’d hoped. Those are only minor details though and it’s does not take away the fact this game is filled with such amazing narrative driven content and amazing combat that was improved upon since 2018 Expand

    What an epic, monumental game. Definitely one of the best games I've played! Always will remember it.

    Wonderful game to finish out the Norse story arc. Loved every second of this story, bittersweet that it has come to an end. Excited for the next chapter.

    No one in their right mind would rate this game a 0 out of 10. It's unfortunate that trolls who can't play the game have to ruin the score.

    I just finished the game and I got to say I’m very impressed. All the issues with Gow 2018 were improved upon, and the game feels great. It’s very rare that a sequel is just as or better than the first game, but this is one of those cases. MY GOTY!

The writing for both main story and side quests is fantastic, and is one of few sequels to truly improve and extend upon the previous installment.

    This game deserves to win GOTY for so many reasons, even with the stiff competition it faces. No game comes close in terms of writing, and it narrowly beats out Elden Ring in the gameplay segment. It is without a doubt up there with the greatest games of all time.

    In all main titles of the franchise, Ragnarök except of combat has a worst pacing and story. But it's still of of the bests.

    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.
