It’s no PS5 revolution, but it is one of the
most finely crafted adventures we’ve ever
played, mixing thrilling combat with fab
storytelling. [Issue#21, p.68]
God of War: Ragnarok is, simply put, the complete package. It tells one of the best stories in video games, one that will have you run the gamut of emotions while playing through it. Fighting the enemies of the realms feels a lot like the previous game, but there's enough new and refined elements to help it stand on its own.[...] Ragnarok may be coming, but this is one world-ending event I'm excited to experience over and over again.

I am still playing this, such an amazing sequel to the previous game.

If I could give this game an 11, I would. It exceeded my expectations in every single way that it could have, made me emotional, and made me care so much more about a cast of characters than I thought I could in a game. From top to bottom, this game is polished and refined like a perfectly aged wine and it allows you just like in the first game to take the story at your own pace and explore, which you will really want to once you get into all the different realms.

Despite its shortcomings and eagerness to wrap things up, God of War Ragnarök feels like a better game than its predecessor in almost every aspect.
The surprise effect of the new formula is gone, but its power remains. The first game was already pushing the limits of what we could expect from a blockbuster on consoles, this sequel only widens the gap. More than the colossal work of Santa Monica, it's also the result of a vision of action-adventure with a high narrative content explored for a few years now by Sony PlayStation and its first party studios. A total success on which we can find very few things to say: God of War Ragnarök is definitely a title that commands respect.
Ragnarök is well worth playing even if some of its callbacks fly over your head. We only get a handful of single-player games each year that deliver such high-calibre storytelling, finely tuned action, and gorgeous graphics in a single package, and Sony’s Dad of War ranks high among them once more.
God of War: Ragnarök manages to set a new standard, striking the right balance between profound storytelling and invigorating gameplay.
The combat is beefy enough to carry you through the slower stretches, but even when you're lopping heads off dragons it can feel like what you're really killing is time. [Issue#379, p.100]

The polish and gameplay are great, near perfect even, but the writing and some bad acting really hampers this sequel. There are many scenes that are just so cheesy they had me rolling my eyes. Freya is annoying and impossible to relate to- she's just nasty to everyone, yet we're supposed to see her as this powerful, respected leader. Atreus's actor is somehow much worse than in the first game and his character is so bratty it's frustrating. New characters are really stupid and forced. The writers make the mistake of making them all really snarky and know-it-all, which just makes them unlikeable. Modern writers do this a lot, where they think that to make a character strong and have dimensions, they only have to make them ultra passive-aggressive and pissy- how they expect but 12 year olds to like these characters is beyond me.
I'm really hoping that part 3 isn't all Atreus and Angrboda, though I'm sure the writers will do just that.

It was a good game but not as good as the first one (2018). Atreus was an excellent character, the development of Kratos was very decent and mature and the relationship between the 2 was deep and emotional. BUT! Too many cinematics ffs, too many cringe **** too many "americanization". Furthermore, for some reason, they made more complicated the rpg elements and all that stuff on screen which was imo unecessary. Finally, i want to express something. We need games and not movies. And we need authenticity and uniqueness. Everything produced by Sony tends to be identical these last few years. This game for example, after the first trilogy, which was pure hack-n-slash, now became action adventure like The last of us etc....

Huge dissappointment. I got bored of the game and couldn't get back into it. Its simply God Of War 4 but over again. Same graphics, gameplay, combat the same. Kind of feels like just a DLC. Don't get me wrong, God of War 4 is a great game. But this is simply 60 dollar DLC. Maybe if I try to get back in the game and finish it, I would rate it higher.

Summary The freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard, making survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Norse wilds even more challenging than before. Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. He wants to keep his son safe, above all, ...
