    This is more of Kratos' story, this is the continuation, the climax... It's just awesome. The best God of War game ever made, being an improvement on the 2018 version, being the best experience possible with a PS.

    "We must be better" - Kratos. This sequel does exactly that as it draws the norse saga to a close for the ghost of sparta as him and Atreus journey through a truly unforgettable adventure throughout the 9 realms. The game builds beyond the action and gameplay of its predecessor exceeding its 2018 counterpart by addressing the very few problems and ammending them.

The game builds beyond the action and gameplay of its predecessor exceeding its 2018 counterpart by addressing the very few problems and ammending them. The way they intertwine their creativity towards norse mythology by curating and writing the stories in unique ways that fit the purpose of the narrative while still representing the original norse scriptures correctly was done in a very thoughtful manner and was an epic experience. Santa Monica have really exhausted their skills into crafting this masterpiece and their passion and hardwork is seen through and through this game. Would definitely recommend this title to anyone who hasn't grabbed it on the PS5 yet as it is 100% a must have running silky smooth on the system or to anyone that enjoyed the 2018 game as this is basically that but dialled up to 1000. This is definitely GOTY for me hands down. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well where do I begin.......... After the success of God Of War on PS4 back in 2018 I never expect a sequel to surpass the 1st game?........... BUT how wrong I was.
    This game is a masterpiece and must be played!!!!
    Awesome graphics, the world's look amazing, the frame rate is adequate...... And the story has you at the edge of your seat from start to finish.
    I purchased this game on the PlayStation Store........ I have last gen AND current Gen versions........... I have been playing the PS4 version on the PlayStation 5 and I have zero complaints with the games stability? Maybe the PlayStation 5 Is making the game run and look better?
    I won't post any spoilers but the story was tugging on my heart strings at certain points, I actually finished the story earlier today and once I unlock all trophies on PS4......... I am loading the PlayStation 5 version and starting again because I have loved every second of the game

    Why people give this game anything less than a 9 is beyond me. I crave single player games with a good story and it is clear this game picks up right where the og ps4 GOW left off. The graphics are unbelievable, combat is just as fun, more exploration and rewards. I’m only a few hours in but this is absolutely everything I imagined it would be and more.

    Sadly some Polish and Russian speaking people are reviewing bombing cause it isnt dubbed in their language *insert facepalm*.

Gameplay is sublime, with the bloodborne like elements elevating it. Difficulty can be a bit uneven on the harder difficulty, although the normal difficulty can take away from experiencing the full gameplay suite. It is slightly buggy though, and changing difficulties is broken. Side content from a gameplay perspective is fantastic but doesn't add much to the story. If you've played the first one then this is a no brainer. It's quite long and the side stuff can hurt the pacing. Game of the year for me though. Expand

    Wow. It was really, REALLY good. Magnum opus of Santa Monice (with God of War 2018). Mechanics and the combat is just legendary, I can't even describe it.

I mean, Gow 2018 felt just better about it. They could've made them less and let us focus on main story. In every 1-2 hours Mimir says "Okay brother, let's take some time off.". It felt weird. But the gameplay was so good that it didn't really bothered me.

    In the end, I can say that everyone with ps4/5 should play this game. It is a masterpiece.

    Une fois qu'on a dit ça, il faut reconnaître que ce Ragnarok est certainement le meilleur épisode de la saga depuis longtemps. La mise en scène est parfaite, les personnages charismatiques et attachant, on découvre aussi un Kratos dans un contexte inédit et excellent (son rôle de père). Techniquement quand on sait que c'est un jeu PS4 à la base, c'est bluffant. Santa Monica sont des magiciens et je suis impatient de voir leur jeu uniquement PS5.

    Fini à 100% en 52h, j'ai adoré l'aventure et je ne peux que lui mettre la note maximale pour ce moment intense qui m'a comblé du début à la fin.

    O diretor responsável não teve uma objetividade em explorar a cultura nórdica e acrescentar deuses desse universo, ficou muito aquém, nos deixando com 3 deuses somente em supostas batalhas épicas, o Jogo é excelente, mas faltou algum brilho que teve no passado na sua primeira trilogia.

O gameplay mantem a base do anaterior mas está mais polido, e algumas novidades nos acessórios de Kratos. A história esta bem desenvolvida. É uma completa satisfação desde as batalhas, as cenas cinematográficas tudo junto torna o jogo algo épico. Expand

    I was skeptical if they could match 2018’s game, but this is absolutely another great game from Santa Monica. This game will stay with you for quite a while. Here are my pros and cons from the first game:

    -Better characters and character depth
    -Atreas. He is phenomenal in this game. His character and voice acting were the best in the game
    -Amazing aesthetics. The locations are great

    CONS:
    -Imbalanced difficulty & pacing, more so early in the game
    -Tediousness & repetitiveness in puzzle-solving that wasn’t nearly as present in the first game
    -While improvements were made and new things were introduced, I felt like not enough new stuff was created for this game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my Game of The Year!

    So, I've just finished the main story of God of War Ragnarok and it has exceeded my high expectations in just about every way. The combat was never in doubt but they managed to improve upon that by making you more mobile and it gives you a lot of options on how to dismantle enemies. The puzzles were fine and not terribly difficult or too easy and the visuals were all around great. The score is one of the best I've heard in a game in quite some time and it really emphasizes the emotional beat of the story and it can make
    You feel like The God of War. As for characters they're all very interesting and unique and I found myself enjoying all of the dialog options when I was given a chance to interact with them. The acting was superb and the writing was well done. The biggest takeaway from the game is that it has a lot a fun and unique enemies that always keeps thing interesting and fun to fight. There were a few minor bugs I encountered one was during a cutscene where a character was dying and the floor was invisible and that took me out of the immersion and hinder my emotions. And I did feel that the story did drag just a bit, but it does help that they were fun missions to play. Now down to some real SPILERS. So, this game focuses a lot on atreus a.k.a Loki. It's similar to how The Last of Us Part II did it but it was a billion times better. You get to play as him every now and then and he was my favorite to play as, because he has the fluid nature and a very cool ability to turn in a Wolf and a bear that can tear you enemies apart. He also has some potential love interest or just a cool companion in a new character called Angrboòa. Now Odin was a really compelling and formidable foe. His reason wasn't too bad, because all he want was information but the we he went about it was wrong and caused a lot if death around him. Now, turns out he was more of a trickster because he made himself look like Tyr who was allies with Kratos and Atreus but like Loki from the MCU he can shape-shift and that ended up causing the death of Brok who was one of the dwarfs. Now I could sit here and right another 3 to 4 paragraphs but I'm not that guy. So my final score is a 98/100. It is very much worth the time and money especially if you enjoyed 2018s God of War or if you have a PS5.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So far only about 12 hours in and this game is incredible. They improved everything that was wrong with the 2018 game, which wasn’t much. In the first 5 hours, there were already more enemy types and boss fights than there were in the last game. The traversal is improved and it feels smoother. The story so far is good. Boss fight with Thor is probably the greatest boss fight I have ever played in a video game. Gameplay is improved overall imo and the sections with Atreus are amazing and unique but a little boring at times. I guess that’s my only criticism right now, that and lack of stun finishers. I also love the more rpg feel of this game where you have more skills, more abilities, and more weapon options. Can’t wait to finish this incredible game. Expand

    -Combat very fluid and fast, very dinamic, similar to 2018.(SPOILER ALERT) the draupnir spear is satisfactory, and in beginning with Atreus I thought it was very bad, but I was wrong, Atreus is stylish.

    -Thanks to Rafael Grasseti for this masterpiece of art.
    Enviroments are so unreal

    It’s not only 300 quests which don’t reward you appropriately like AC, everything you do during the game is rewarding

    O jogo está incrível, a história te prende e a jogabilidade é excelente. Os gráficos poderiam ser melhores se o jogo não fosse crossgen, mas mesmo assim são muito bonitos e isso não prejudica a experiência. Muito legal terem colocado as lâminas do caos pra acessar lugares mais altos usando a corrente como uma corda.

    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.
