    Ragnarok solves the boss problem of its predecessor but loose the freshness. I also found the "Ragnarok" itself rather disappointing, Thor and Odin were great though. In general both of the reboot are great but miss a little something to be icon of this industry.

    The combat, the puzzles, the STORY (strongest point of the game). It's just better in every aspect than the last. The first worlds aren't that entertaining but when you unlock more abilities, armors, characters, Incredible side quest, then it becomes one of the best games I've ever played. 10/10 recommend it to anyone who likes a good story game. Acting is superb.

    This game is a masterwork that showcases Santa Monica's best work.
    This is one of the best games I have played
    The characters are distinct, and their side missions are amazing. This is an incredibly fantastic novel that had me hooked from beginning to end.
    if you have PS4/PS5 YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS GAME!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only metric which can cover this incredible level of perfection is „OMG per second“! I can recommend to play the first title to get fully immersed by the story. You won’t need it but it’s a direct successor of the first title. The visuals, the soundtrack and audio concept, the dialogues and cutscenes, the world and character design, the gameplay, the story concept, the game UI - just everything is one of the best in it’s class. It’s an unbelievable masterpiece in every second from start to finish. Santa Monica Studio is the most professional game manufacturer in this world (besides Naughty Dog and Guerilla Games). You just don’t need more reasons to get a Playstation. Don’t listen to any of the bad ratings here, they never played the game by sure. And we all know why they never played it, just because they can’t.

    Everything was so perfect, but the final scene just pushed me out of this world, it is the most emotional moment I’ve seen in a video game since a decade, probably of all time. It’s truly heartbreaking. A video game which makes me cry is something which is really rare and there is no handful of games which ever could achieve it within 30 years of playing games. To fully understand you will need to play the predecessor. I’ve enjoyed every second of this game so much and I can’t wait to continue this journey. Thanks a lot    … Expand

To me, this game is a solid 8.5/10 Ragnarok is a great game in many ways. Firstly the combat is the focal point of this game. Combat and abilities are much smoother in GOW RR compared to the 2018 counterpart endless hours of enjoyable combat/fighting are to be had battling through the great variety of enemies both regular and mini boss/bosses. The next and arguably the best part of Ragnarok is its story. Overall the story is very good, In some moments you're laughing along with the characters, and the very next moment you could be ready to tear up. The characters are top notch and some really grow on you. (character development is great in this game) After that, another great aspect of Ragnarok, or RR for short is its side missions/side content. If I'm being honest for a story-driven game there aren't many games I can think of with more meaningful side content aside from the witcher 3. While this game is pretty dang good all in all it is by no means perfect and I'll be discussing those shortcomings next. I know I said the story is great and it is, however the same can't be said for the pacing of the story. There are a few events that pull you out of the game (if you played you know what I'm talking about.) These moments don't ruin the game in any way, but they can be boring at times when they take longer than needed.
    The puzzles are back and in full effect. I really don't mind puzzles and I do find them enjoyable at times. However, there are MANY more puzzles in RR compared to GOW 2018 which is not really what I'm wanting in a game such as this. This next issue gets fixed as the game goes on, but the issue is Kratos doesn't feel as powerful as he should against normal enemies. I know I was asking the game to be more challenging when playing on give me no mercy difficulty however Kratos the god of war should feel much more powerful facing little dinky enemies than he does. Idk if it's just the difficulty or the game in general. This issue does get better as you level up and unlock new abilities/gear though so it's nothing major just frustrating at times.
    That is all for the negatives not many like I said a very solid game all in all.
    Overall this game is very good and if you want a game you can sink a lot of hours into and have fun destroying enemies with satisfying combat and great story components with many hours of enjoyable side content this game is for you! (Don't be sorry be better!)    … Expand

    GOW 3 resta il top, questo potrebbe meritare anche un 7 e mezzo, ma è da punire, perché dal 2018 non hanno imparato nulla, a differenza di ciò che dicono gli youtuber e la varia gente pagata (è pagata anche se non viene pagata direttamente, le copie, gli inviti, le anteprime etc ti fanno fare soldi), non cambia nulla dal 2018, ci sono solo 1 arma nuova e qualche abilità, e a livello dei nemici la varietà è solo apparente, sono skin, tolti i miniboss che sono praticamente 4 ripetuti alla nausea, altro che "hanno imparato dagli errori e adesso non ci sono più sempre i troll ripetuti" (e i troll ripetuti ci sono pure -.-).
    La verità è che ora non vedi solo troll ripetuti ma altri 4 5 nemici, e il gioco è così lungo che li vedi 40 volte a testa e li uccidi sempre con la stessa animazione, la grande "varietà".

The storyline is epic, and the characters are interesting, especially Thor and Odin. It took me 72 hours on Give Me God of War difficulty to do everything, so it's also reasonably lengthy.

    There are two reasons Ragnarok isn't 10/10. First, it's a retread of old ground that seems familiar. The gameplay is superb, but it's all something we've seen before.

    The second reason I can't give it the highest score is that GoW:Ragnarok has contracted a severe case of JRPG-itis for a lack of a better term. The game has way too many drawn-out cutscenes that are supposed to be moving, but end up being melodramatic in the extreme and very wordy, breaching the etiquette of showing and not telling. I'm not against wordy, but I am when it's mostly just to convey mawkish sentiment and after-school special preaching. There's an entire chapter where Atreus has a pseudo-romantic adventure which was cringy. The nuanced storytelling and beautifully realized subtle relationship between Kratos' stoicism and Atreus' idealism of the first game has been replaced with cheap moralizing and tedious hand-wringing and "I love you" monologs. Characters can't stop stop blubbering, and everyone has some secret tragedy that they just have to blurt out like a Lifetime movie in a moment of vulnerability. This is manipulative hack-writing 101, and the shift in tone is inappropriate for a God of War game.    … Expand

    Phenomenal game. I gave GOW 2018 a 10/10 but I feel like it'd be dishonest to give this a perfect score despite being on par in terms of overall quality. Gameplay-wise this plays a lot like a GOW 2018 DLC, and it's blatantly obvious that their not focusing solely on PS5 held the game back massively. There is a masterpiece here, and it being hindered by decade-old hardware is a real shame.

    God of War: Ragnarok é fenomenal em quase tudo, história, trilha sonora, gráficos, tudo isso é simplesmente incrível. O desenvolvimento da relação entre o Kratos e o Atreus é espetacular. Outra qualidade desse jogo é o nível de detalhes e informações das missões secundárias. O único problema é que a gameplay fica um pouco repetitiva com o tempo.

    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

    El camino de Kratos y Atreus es también el nuestro. Todos los personajes, desde los protagonistas a los secundarios están escritos a la perfección y con los mejores diálogos (y doblaje) que se han visto en un videojuego.
    Uno de los videojuegos con un tratamiento más adulto de todos los tiempos, en la línea de TLOU2.
    Las sorpresas que ofrece a lo largo del juego, ofreciéndonos una visión que no esperábamos y seguramente la mejor para la saga.
    Gráficamente, pese a ser intergeneracional, es ya el juego más avanzado tecnológicamente de la nueva generación. Simplemente apabullante.
    Todos y cada uno de los nueve reinos a explorar, con decenas de secundarias y tareas a realizar.
    Combate ultrasatisfactorio, con muchas posibilidades de superar al enemigo.
    Los jefes finales, mucho más abundantes y variados, a la altura de God of War 3.
    Secundarias de calidad, que alargan el juego de forma interesante y que aporta a la historia.
    Sobre las 50 horas cuesta completarlo al 100%, una excelente duración para el género.
    Dificultad con algun que otro pico desafiante. Sacar el platino cuesta sudor y sangre gracias a los Berserkers.
    Todo lo que hacía God of War 2018, este lo hace más y mejor.

    anche il gameplay mi ha a tratti annoiato , tuttavia questo è un elemento del tutto soggettivo .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I 100%'d this game about a week or so. Took time to soak it in. This is a great game but not without flaws - sadly, the most obvious flaw is that this game is inferior to the game that came before it.

    How is it that Baldur was a far more compelling and threatening villain than Thor and Odin combined. Sure, Thor packed a punch and had layers. But, most of his - and Odin's - story was about Atreus' adventures rather than anything to do with Kratos.

    The combat was great and the graphics/visuals were beautiful - but only slightly better than the previous game in both regards.

    The overall gameplay maybe felt a little too familiar - I wouldn't call it DLC but see some people's point when they use "DLC" to criticize the game. Vanaheim was the only place that felt new. Even Svartleheim just felt like an extension of Midgard in the first game (lots of rowing, beaches to explore, mountain to climb via tunnel system, etc.).

    Now into spoiler territory...

    The story was great at its peaks (Ragnarok was epic), but also had some repetitive and lazy bits. The standout "lazy bits" for me are in regard to Freya and Sif. Although it would have broke my heart, the only logical ending for Freya after God of War 2018 was for Kratos to kill her - another God wiped out by the Ghost of Sparta. For her to suddenly be like "if you kill Odin and break the curse that lets me travel out of Midgard, I'll forgive you for killing my son"... felt a little lazy. Now an objectively "lazy bit" of storytelling was Sif. Her sudden change of heart made absolutely no sense. Her disdain for Odin and Thor was primarily because Odin was allowing Atreus to stay in Asgard - rather than avenging or allowing Thor to avenge the deaths of Magni, Modi, and Baldur. She hated Atreus and Kratos for their deaths and there were never any signs/hints that she cared about the Midgard refugees. Then Ragnarok comes, Atreus and Kratos are at their doorstep and about to fight Thrud, and suddenly Sif shows up to convince her daughter to help the people of Midgard and help Atreus and Kratos because Odin is a cruel god?! Sounds to me like the writers of the game couldn't figure out a way to keep Thrud around as an ally post-game and shoe-horned this into the story.

    All that said... I NEED New Game + mode. I've replayed the first game easily a dozen times. Although the above may seem mostly negative, this game is still amazing and I'll likely replay it just as much as the first after New Game + is released.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics and combat are fantastic but its like the developers went out of there way in both games to make Atreus a completly unlikabe character. I recenty replayed Gow 2018 and its fresh why I hated him in that game, his constant smart ass comments and attitude. Its no different here, every section you play as him is a slog and you cant wait for it to be over.

    The story is poorly written and the whole "LOKIE" character, the so called champion never does anything but find some mask pieces, that in the end goes no where. Both games would have been better with out him.

    Every fight has some room you have to enter and some annoying dialog and if you die on harder difficultys over and over, you have to go through crack again and hear the same dialog over and over. Sections in this game are so annoying it henders replays.

    This game is basically The last of us 2, forcing you to play characters and do gameplay that I dont see how anyone thought it would be fun, its padding at best.

    The must be better and we dont war is played to death. Tyr is a pointless character, everything hyped from the first game never is fleshed out, there is no deeper meaning to anything in the end kratos does everything, boi finds a mask. This story is terrible and you will really notice how bad everything is on your 2nd play through on higher difficultys, thats when I started to despise the game.

Try to accept changes in characters this is what makes them emphatic and that’s why the GoW series as a whole is such a master piece, because of the way Kratos changes throughout the series.

As a console gamer, I've played all the entries in this long-standing series. God of War is one of the last console exclusives to envy. The Norse saga maintains David Jaffe's brutal smash & grab gameplay whilst staging a genre-defining cinematic experience. Ragnarok is a fine blend of controller combat and storytelling and shouldn't be passed over by any video gamer.

    The light RPG elements and fine-tuned combat take cues from various evolutions in the industry. Dark Souls and its finesse come into play and add depth to a feverish hack and slash formula. But God of War doesn't obscure accessibility like From Software games. Santa Monica designed a game that everyone can enjoy. The player isn't punished for arbitrary missteps and the difficulty can be changed to incite a challenge for players looking for one.

    Motion capture brings an extensive range of emotions to Kratos. A bellowing voice and harrowing actions come to life when the player senses a degree of personality. I witnessed a great depth of character from Kratos through a well-placed grunt of facial expression. This kind of body language enabled by modern motion capture technology adds depth to a formerly one-dimensional anti-hero.

    The attention to detail is arresting. Dialogue, gameplay, cutscenes, etc; all form an incredible journey. Nothing's amiss in this adventure and I highly recommend it along with all the other God of War entries. As you progress, you'll see the progression of combat and storytelling, and fully realize how intact the original God of War is in these modern titles. Which in itself is a testament to game design in early titles.

    I give this game a 9/10, because nothing is perfect. But this is damn close. It seamlessly tailors everything engrossing about a video game and distills it into a story.    … Expand

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.
