Combat on this one is far and above the best of any ME game and is overall just very well done. I think people are overly harsh on this game; the story isn't anything groundbreaking, but it's good enough. overall, the game honestly reminds me of how I felt about ME1 prior to playing 2 and 3 in terms of story.

I'm glad Game Freak did SOMETHING different, but I just couldn't get into this one; the new mechanics were appreciated, but it felt like much of the same at its core, and I could tell by hour 5 that I'd get bored midway through, so I stopped. It's like they took one step forward on fixing pokemon but still have about 50 or so steps before it doesn't suck anymore. The side-quest requests just felt like busywork to me.
Also graphics, specifically, were terrible. Especially coming from a AAA open-world game like Cyberpunk or Death Stranding to green-brown diarrhea that is the land of Hisui.
This game could be a good stepping stone toward an excellent current-gen Pokemon game, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Close to perfection. The story is a perfect mix of simplicity and spectacle, and I'd say this is one of the few games worth nearly 100%ing, (fuck getting all Odin's Ravens).
Half a point off just because the enemy variety wasn't always great. Feels like you fight eight different Troll bosses out of like 12 story boss fights in total.

Where Ragnarok improves on GOW2018's gameplay significantly via new enemies, weapons, etc., I think the story in 2018 is just straight-up better. 2018's simpler story felt more cohesive and hit me harder than most of the story beats in Ragnarok. Some characters, like Freyr, barely get any screen time, and it feels like a missed opportunity and something that wouldn't have happened in 2018 because its roster of characters was so much smaller. Overall a phenomenal game that I'd recommend to most anyone, but I can't help from enjoying 2018 more.
