    The story, side quests, and combat were all better than the first game.
    it's worthy of Game of the Year.

    Este juego supera a su predecesora por mucho y concluye la aventura de la manera más épica posible. Sus personajes están muy bien diseñados y escritos, sus combates , cinemáticas y relacion padre eh hijo entre kratos y atreus se desarrolla muy bien, yo por mi parte es el mejor juego que eh jugado en todo el año, sin duda le daría el goty .

    This game was everything i'd hoped it be but it just missed the mark of being perfect..

    Things I loved: -> Boss fights - epic battles, satisfying and challenging -> Story - emotional, raw, pacing was perfect, character development is fantastic w plenty of interactions -> Gameplay - new and improved, fresh new combat systems -> Cut scenes - brilliantly done as always, cut scenes

    -> Cut scenes - brilliantly done as always, cut scenes blend into gameplay seamlessly, feels like a movie
    -> Soundtrack - my god the soundtrack really hits you in the feels, excellently done
    -> Replayability - lots to do and plenty of side missions
    -> Upgrades - as you upgrade you can see armour sets change in appearance (e.g bronze, silver, gold)
    -> Accessability options - lots to pick from to suit all players, different performance options

    Things I disliked/pet peeves:
    -> UI - I think it is a step down from its predecessor, can be hard to navigate at first
    -> Ugly Armour sets - I wanted more cool armour sets unlocked without doing side missions
    -> Transitions/loading maps - there was too many 'squeeze through a tight space' areas, it sometimes ruined the pacing for gameplay
    -> Limited Performance/ no photo mode - graphics isnt everything but TBH this shouldve only been released on ps5 as ps4 probably limited the performance. No huge improvement in graphics and no photo mode :(
    -> Not enough God/Aesir specific boss fights - I wanted to fight more gods! Just like the old games.

    This game is a masterpiece, again. However, changes to the combat system make major portions of the game really frustrating and not fun at all.
    Kratos gets staggered and interrupted by every little hit. Paired with his heavy and rather slow movements this is a recipe for deseaster. Instead of acting (you are supposed the GOD OF WAR after all) you are only reacting. Every little fight
    This game is a masterpiece, again. However, changes to the combat system make major portions of the game really frustrating and not fun at all.
    Kratos gets staggered and interrupted by every little hit. Paired with his heavy and rather slow movements this is a recipe for deseaster. Instead of acting (you are supposed the GOD OF WAR after all) you are only reacting. Every little fight turns into a game of 3D chess with zero room for mistakes. And that is at the lowest difficulty setting and all accessibility options enabled to make it easier.
    After beating Ragnarok I played the first God of War again and it is SO MUCH MORE FUN!
    I did all the extra content there, Ivaldis workshop and even all the Valkyries! But with Ragnarok I had many rage-quit moment was happy to put the controller down.
    This is a major design issue! Dear developers, let us have fun! You are not the arbiters of what fun gameplay is. Don't force us down narrow gameplay paths just because you are so proud of some specific system or another. It's bad design and Forbidden West had the same problem (like more elemental damage types than you have weapon slots). Sometimes, more is less.
    Also, what is with the fleeing enemies? Half of the time Kratos is running around, chasing after enemies. If I want to herd chickens, there are other games for that. There is little more annoying in gaming than enemies that make you chase after them constantly.
    I'll go play God of War now... the good one, not the frustrating, annoying one.

    This game was everything I could ever find in a hack and slash story game, improving upon the past 2018 game and improving beyond my expectations, a story I had waited to conclude for a very long time to see how it ends and where the series will Joe go afterwards. Game of The Year material

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad ending.
    Never experienced such a scorching disappointment. It's called Ragnarok, but there's nothing about the legendary clash between the forces of good and evil. Unfinished characters, rather poor bosses at the end. Fake prophecy. Nothing, you see a mile away that the idea was to make two more games after GoW18, but for unknown reasons they decided to make a bad conclusion

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute masterpiece of a game, that's all I can say for this game. Literal at the start we are already hit by no dialogue, just music and deep emotions from Kratos. The story with Freya going from anger to finally finding a reason to stop. Noticing that Odin is the enemy. Enough with spoilers. The music is amazing perfect with any moment that's happening. Visually it looks stunning especially with 4k quality. Combat, chef kiss thats all need to be said. And the emotional moment hit hard with the relationship with Kratos and Atreus. And while the final boss fight is a bit disappointing, still a good one. And knowing that thor isn't the enemy makes him a good protagonist with his problems being with family, not Kratos. The ending hits that Atreus is now on his own to be on his own adventures without Kratos, and Kratos and Freya are a great duo. And the "secret ending" with brok's funeral doesn't rease the next game it just shows the hard hitting feeling for Sindri. I hope this game wins Game Of The Year, if not that's good this game will have a special place in my heart Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay was fun and there were plenty of options for different builds depending on your play style. I had a great time exploring different areas and never felt overwhelmed by sidequests. Every area seemed to have a purpose to serve which made the flow of the game very well crafted. The visuals were impressive on the ps5. I enjoyed the game overall.. until the end.
    The ending was disappointing. I didn't feel anything to be honest. I went through a very generic feeling battlefield, plot points felt useless. It was so much build up just to have nothing interesting or noteworthy happen. Ragnarok shows up to do... nothing. Glad that quests means nothing. Now that gos sacrifice means literally nothing. It make the games writing feel cheap. The finally vattle itself was.... not challenging. I didn't feel like Odin lived up to being the villain he was hyped up to be. Everything felt to easy, things felt unnecessary. I think the ending ruined it for me, great game otherwise

Excelente juego, mejora en cuanto a variedad de enemigos y bosses respecto al de 2018, Kratos sigue desarrollandose como personaje, además de cerrar el arco de personaje que se abrió en 2018. Sin embargo algunos cambios en los personajes no están del todo bien hechos, un ejemplo de esto es el cambio de actitud de Freya hacia Kratos, que pasa de querer matarlo a aliarse a él, el problema radica en que su cambio de actitud es poco natural y no se siente orgánico el que pase a ser tan cercana en tan poco tiempo respecto en lo que dura el juego. Aún así es un juega o y sin duda alguna un firme candidato a Goty del 2022 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 14th platinum cup in 2022, the GOD OF WAR: RAGNAROK. An extremely excellent sequel worthy of four years, an epic journey that is enough to make people linger and forget to return, is also a family music with ups and downs and refreshing. 10 points will be given to the game itself, 9.5 points will be given to the player himself, and 0.5 points will be given to the ending loss, parting regret and future expectation. (The following must involve spoilers)

    Since the first platinum trophy in 2013, there are not many games that still make me have a great urge to play again after the platinum trophy, at least not in the three years since p5r. Unfortunately, the new game+and photo modes have not been updated yet, so I have to leave this impulse for the update. The dusk of the gods made me approve of my purchase of the oled television for the first time. Due to the lag of the ps4, the progress of its presentation layer is not obvious to the naked eye, but a careful observation of the light, shadow and material details can still feel a huge gap, only if a good display device is required. In addition, thanks to the failure to give full play to the PS5's performance, it is possible to unlock frames by turning on high frame rate in the picture quality mode. Then with the help of vrr, you can really experience the fluency of 120 frames (admittedly, frame insertion technology is not 120 frames of the game itself, and it will float around 60 after unlocking frames). The 1800~2160 is almost the same as the 2160 under the support of various technologies. This time, you can have a full view of the Nine Realms in the dusk of the gods. The new scene is beautiful with the help of the new reflection technology, but it's a pity that you can't become a photographer of the Nine Realms without a photo mode. The design and production of many of these new areas can clearly feel that they are testing the waters for future new works. Different from the way in which the end of the United States shapes scenes for light and shadow, the Ares is a scene that shapes light and shadow, which is more natural than the end of the United States.

    On the whole, this is the most expressive virtual fantasy world in the world. At least no one can surpass the next god of war. (Don't think ff16 has a chance~)

    The gods at dusk took over the last game perfectly. Although some of the first six or seven hours were not pleasant (which was also an excellent side effect of the last game), the overall experience was quite good after ten hours of the process. It was still the same taste, but it was more smooth and refreshing. The addition of new weapons also made the combination and collocation more rich, although occasionally I missed the combination key operation of the old god of war, But after rpg, the rhythm is faster and it is really cool. This time, there are many kinds of monsters, and there are also many high-level bosses. The ordinary difficulty is not enough. For me, challenging this rhythm several times can be more enjoyable than the soul. Platinum feels like he doesn't want to stop after playing the female god of martial arts. No wonder some people say that the battle is not epic enough, in fact, it is enough... but the rhythm is really too fast.

    As the most successful film and television game of Sony, Zhanshen's plot is always the most watched. My evaluation of this plot is very excellent and approaching perfection. At dusk of the gods, the story really revolves around the dusk of the gods, but its core is affection, growth and salvation. These cores look old American, but in fact, they are very modern and moving, which is worthy of ending Lord Kui's journey to northern Europe. Maybe some people think that the story is not epic and the war of God of War is not magnificent, but in fact, the core of the story has changed since 2018. It may be written as a heroic epic. The war between Kui Yeh and his son against the Nordic gods can more ignite the enthusiasm of players, but the carefully polished arc of characters and the skillful lines of travel weave a more stylish character growth and father son relationship. In the whole game, whether it is the transformation of Queyette, the growth of Atreus in the rebellious period, the Odin family's belief that one's selfish desire has become confused, Freya's giving up hatred and selfishness, the story of dwarven brothers, and the branch line of Higglune, they all explain the most important word in everyone's life, home. This seemingly small theme is actually more profound than those grand stories.

    Who hasn't rebelled, who doesn't have family, who doesn't have bad family, and whose life is smooth? The story that can bring people to think is far better than Shuangwen. When the characters grow, the players will also grow. This is more likely to make people hollow and unforgettable than the journey of killing gods like Zhanshen 3. In this regard, the gods are successful at dusk.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War Ragnarök ist der Grund, warum ich mir jetzt unbedingt einen Metacritic Account erstellen wollte, um meine Meinung zu teilen. Selten hat mich ein Spiel so begeistert, weshalb ich es auch als einen der großen Meilensteine der Videospiel Geschichte beschreiben würde. Dieses Spiel reiht sich neben The Last of us (Part 1 und Part 2), Zelda BotW und The witcher 3 ein. Aber warum das ganz? Fangen wir mal mit den offensichtlichsten an Technik (10/10): Auch wenn hier nicht alles aus der PS5 herausgeholt wird, gerade neben A plage tale Requiem ist die Grafik eine Wucht. Nicht nur in dem verrückten Detailgrad, sondern auch die Flüssen 60 FPS sind einfach nur wohlwollende für die Augen. Was Partikeleffekte angeht, steht dieses Spiel auch eine Ratchet and Clank und Returnal in nichts nach. Das dieses Spiel wahlweise auch on 120 FPS läuft ist echt eine krasse Zugabe, die leider von einigen Videospiel Magazinen sehr runter geredet wird. Hinzu kommt, kein einziger Bug oder Absturz. Gamplay (10/10): Die Kämpfe sind richtig schön wuchtig und werden zu keiner Sekunde langweilig. Verblüffend wenn man bedenkt, dass man eigentlich nur drei waffen hat. Diese unterscheiden sich aber zum Glück sehr voneinander und spielen sich auch deshalb sehr anders. Auch das man hin und wieder zu Atreus wechselt, bringt eine schöne Abwechslung ins Gamplay. Die Charaktergestalltung ist ausreichend komplex und spaßig zugleich. Story (10/10): Ich habe hier und da gelesen, dass einige meinen, dass die Story schlecht geschrieben ist. Ich glaub viel mehr haben die Leute ein Problem damit, sich in die Charaktere hineinzuversetzen. Auch wenn Atreus hier und da etwas nervig zu sein scheint, sein Verhalten ist zu jeder Zeit nachvollziehbar. Auch die Dialoge sind fantastisch geschrieben. Vor allem aber, ist die Charakterentwicklung von Kratos einfach nur großartig und hat mich hier und da zu Tränen gerührt. Wie episch hier vor allem alles inszeniert ist, Wahnsinn ehrlich…

    Atmosphäre (10/10): Nun zu meinem Highlight, die Atmosphäre. Einige Schauplätze haben mir echt die Kinnlade nach unten schallen lassen. Wahnsinn was man sich hier ausgedacht hat. Viel beeindruckender finde ich aber, wie stimmig alles ist und wie nachvollziehbar die Welt gestaltet ist. In Svartalvhame (Land der Zwerge) hatte ich in den ersten Minuten das Gefühl, mit meinem Boot überall anhalten zu können. Mit welcher Detailverliebtheit das alles gemacht wurde, macht mich echt sprachlos. Fazit: Für mich wie gesagt ein Meilenstein der Videospielgeschichte und eindeutig das Game of the Year 2022

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where to I even begin? From the first 10 minutes beginning with being chased by Freya, to then Fenrir passing away mixed with the emotional music. I cried many times whilst playing during cutscenes. I also want to say this game is gorgeous to look at, from the beginning being in Midgard, to the rest of the realms you get to travel to. Seeing the dynamic between Kratos and Atreus becoming even stronger. Watching Atreus come into his own character and also is playable with his own move-set which is super satisfying to use. The core of this game for me is the story and the characters, which I believe this game pulls off flawlessly. You will lose hours playing this epic adventure, I have so many side missions to complete as of writing this review which will add even more hours to my already lengthy playthrough. Now to spoilers, Tyr being Odin actually took me by surprise because when he stabbed Brok, I audibly screamed because I really cared about him. Then seeing Sindri's reaction later on, from being a germ-free, lovable dwarf, to a vengeful dwarf filled to the brim with anger and hate. I felt that, he lost his only family, and he has nothing else now. Also taking out Heimdall was such a joy, that I would do it over and over again in a more brutal fashion. This game finishes the Norse Mythology of God Of War exceptionally well, I highly recommend this game. This is my game of the decade, I have never been this immersed in a world as beautiful and as packed with content as this. Please buy this! Expand

    Pretty disappointed by the plot in several points, most of all about Giants (giants in the marbles guys? Seriously?!) and Ragnarok's very last part (boss fights with Thor and Odin are great, but plot wise I didn't like the twist). All in all an outstanding game anyway

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game, amazing story. It's sad to see Brok die but at least he had a really nice farewell. Love the character depth and character progression. They did the story/tragedy of Thor and his family being used by Odin. Beautiful environment on every realm. Did not expect Tyr to be Odin that was a nice plot twist. The actual Ragnarök event was a little lack luster but I loved the story and fights in it, being level 9 facing level 6 enemies gave me a real power trip. I love the father son dynamic between Atreus and Kratos. It's really heart wrenching at times, pretty funny at times (mainly Mimir 10/10 character btw). I genuinely think this game is phenomenal. I don't think it's a masterpiece cause of a few flaws in pacing, and how glanced over the actual Ragnarök event seems, but that might've just been my fault for not really looking at what was going on. in conclusion, if you liked 2018 you'll love this game, it improves upon 2018 in such amazing ways it's actually surprising how well they made it feel the same but different as well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving 10/10 for compensating review bombing, but it would be a 9,4. God of war Ragnarok perfects all the cons of the 2018 game (mostly thanks to the variety of enemies and bosses), it has a mature, emotional and high-sounding plot full of twists. The combat system is more balanced (maybe Leviathan Axe needs a little nerf) and variegated than the previous one. The equipment choice is extremely good (maybe two or three more armors would be appreciated, but no shortage is felt), builds can be very different and creative. Draupnir spear is an incredible addition which adds variety and speed to gameplay, it has an huge combo possibility wich made me love it. The rythm of storytelling is incredible, with sensational and frequents bossfights. The satisfaction given by exploration is huge and the curiosity to discover new areas of the game is constant, because the game has a lot of beautiful side quests and secondary content. The characters characterization and acting are two of the finest in the industry.
    One thing that I didn't like is the scenic rendering of Ragnarok war: too speedy and too little heavy (emotionally). The contribute of Surtr (Ragnarok) in the battle is minimal and hard to notice. But these two bad things are immediately balanced by two incredible bossfights (Thor and Odin).
    I loved this game and I hope all of you can play it and catch the same emotions that I caught.
    P.S. Sindri best character in human history.

    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.
