Listen, do I love God of War? Yes. Should and does this game deserve a perfect score? Yes. The Tyr plot twist was one of the most unexpected and greatest story points I have ever experienced, let alone ever watched. It left me stunned as to how beautifully crafted this game was made. Account for the game's enemy variety, its amazing combat improvements from the 2018 installment, its new weapons and variety, and its sheer volume of what it hopes to achieve and it is genuinely one of the best modern gaming experiences of all time. With that being said, it went on to include a DLC being a rougelike that was JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER than many even dreamed of it being and it was free! It provided some AMAZING callbacks to the original Greek mythology series while also providing just such a good twist on the God of War combat formula. The Tyr boss battle was amazing and seeing all of the original God of War enemies in full HD was awesome. I can glaze this game all day, it has a beautiful ending and the dlc just affirmed Kratos as one of the greatest written video game characters of all time!... I still like 2018 God of War more, it just is carried through heavy nostalgia.
As of this review, I haven't played 2018 GOW. Do I plan to? Absolutely. But I loved Ragnorak.
How to make a sequel to GOW (2018). Like this.
Bigger and better while not overstaying at all. Beautiful by real master of their craft.

Disclaimer: this is a re-review to get my thoughts across in a more concise manner.
For starters, this is my favorite game of all time and I don’t understand how every single one of the most like reviews for this game are extremely negative, talking about how the story is a boring mess and the gameplay is repetitive, and I can understand the view on the gameplay and yes the story isn’t perfect but said story is the one thing I don’t tolerate dissing because it’s still phenomenal.
I think this game is about loss and mortality; Kratos lost Faye and is accepting of his mortality, Atreus is faced with the possibility of his dad’s demise and can’t accept it, Freya has Baldur, Thor has his sons, Odin has the possibility of defeat, Sindri has Brok, and the list goes on and on. Point being, every major character has some sort of loss they’re dealing with.
The gameplay is a mix between Final Fantasy XV and a souls like and I can understand how that would be a turn off to people but it’s easy to get used to.
The story goes like this, Kratos and Atreus are nearing the end of fimbulwinter when Odin appears and offers a truce, Kratos declines, there’s a fight with Thor after that which Odin uses to speak to Atreus alone and offer him to come to Asgard which Atreus declines for now. Now Kratos and Atreus are on a journey through all the 9 realms to gather an army for the impending war that is ragnarok. Good story right? What if I tell you that was just the stuff that was shown in the trailers and that wasn’t the whole story.
The characters are written better than any other game I’ve played, every character feels like a complex individual.
Play this and the free DLC if you like a good story, I promise you won’t regret it.

The end was a bit disappointing, but overall the story and music are really good.
absolutely amazing with the ps5 graphics, amazing story, NEED to play it again one day maybe.
the greatest story in gaming.
Gameplay is king here because the story is very very lackluster towards the later half.
Much better than 2018. Had so much fun and loved the overall story and new combat.
eu gostei do jogo mas eu senti que era muito igual ao (2018) nada contra mas sla
God of War (2018) was a great game so the idea of improving on it was a foreboding task. Ragnarök improves on the series in every way and is the best game in the franchise. The gameplay and gameplay have been improved, the characters and music are wonderful as always, and the story is amazingly told and absolutely beautiful. For a long time, I debated if this was better than the 2018 game; obviously, the gameplay and graphics are better but I had a difficult time choosing which story was better. With the release of the Valhalla DLC, I think this game tipped the scales and is the best entry in the God of War series for the way that it handles Kratos's character and passes the reins to Atreus.
Still proving why they are the goat
Como é possível ser tão merda

Pretty much God of War 2018 but better. Anything that could be improved upon gameplay wise was improved upon, except the menu UI, which is horrendous. Exploration was so much better here than in GOW 2018, but my main criticism is how slow it feels to explore some areas, especially when you have to backtrack and you have to hope there's a easy gateway you can take otherwise its holding the analog stick for what feels like hours. Combat just feels so fucking good here its insane.
Don't really care about stories in games that much, but this one felt weird. It felt all over the place plot and tone wise. GOW 2018 felt a lot more focused whereas Ragnarok felt like it was trying to get you to as many places as it could before the game ended. There was also this one moment in the game that went so hard (the gjallahorn scene), but the moments after it felt lame in comparison.
Special shoutout to the person who made the Gjallarhorn sound, it made me nut a few times.

super disappointing for me personally. the writing was terrible compared to the last one and it felt very marvely. the game is called ragnarok and the acutal events of ragnarok suck fucking dick. its lackluster as hell & i was thoroughly bored throughout most of the story beats. ironwood is so fucking bad oh my god it was ridiculously boring in combat and in story. i cant express enough how excited i was for this game before it was released this shit was supposed to change my life and then they dont even let you have mjolnir because it "would have been too obvious" you are not fr. I DONT CARE!!!!!! some diamonds in the rough are Thor's character and arc hes really cool in thsi game except the part where his death is extremely unceremonious and stupid . the rating might be harsh but i guess my expectations were too high. writing was stinky poopoodookoo garbage
Fantastic story.
Cerrando el circulo vikingo con esta obra maestra, pendiente de que otras entregas nos dan. Con este, oficialmente, todos los GOW platinados!
🏆PLATINO

Amazing... as usual
Tipo o 2018 só que melhor
Another game with the theme "more of the same" and another instance where, fuck it, I'm here for it! While the gameplay hasn't changed much, the story and lore always dig their hooks in deep. If you loved the original you should have no trouble joining Kratos and Atreus in their grand adventure to stop Odin's nefarious schemes.
man i love norse mythology, their adaptation of the myths and characters are done so tastefully and although different they still wonderfully embody them.
The gameplay is good too, i just rly like mythology

Not as good as the first one, but still one of the best game i've ever played
One of the most beautiful stories ever told in a video game. The ending was actually god tier.
The most epic game I have ever played.
This game is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. One second you'll be punching dragurs and trolls and be on a dopamine high from the amazing death animations. Then the next second the game will hit you with a heart wrenching story beat.
I can not name a single thing that this game does bad or half baked and I love that so much.

Overall it is become better and better than the previous game. but too bad the last boss battle is not as grande as baldur's fight. I expected odin will be a challenging battle because he is the all father but i think i was wrong
Basically a perfect follow-up to the 2018 masterpiece. First one just edges it out for me though. I also don't like all the Atreus hate tbh
How can you play through the Atreus sections and still say it’s better than the previous game
What gets bigger, the more you take away?
Não entendo o hate no jogo, as sessões do Atreus são sim bem monótonas mas toda gameplay com Kratos é ainda melhor que GoW 2018, minha primeira platina, jogasso!
