FRIST_008 God of War Ragnarök Review

After 20 hours The PS4 is holding this game back. Kratos is cramped in there :) If you judge it as a PS4 game, it's flat-out top tier. But on PS5 the technical side says, or even screams, that the game is a bit dated. Because of that I can't even give the gameplay a 9. It's an 8. But the combat system is still one of the best among slashers, so that's a 9. I can't give it a 10 because it feels like a retread. The story and the beauty of the visuals are a pure, perfect masterpiece worth a 10. The GoW music still gives me goosebumps. Every character is unique and interesting. I'll still give the game a 10, simply because there just aren't other games like this in the genre. But for me, because it's dragged back by the PS4 version, it's a 9.5. So. 40 hours in. I take my words back. Gameplay is a 9, purely because of the variety. They just bury you in it. Combat: 9. This is something you have to try. Of all the slashers I've ever played, I've never seen one like this anywhere. Not everything they've added is a huge "wow", but every slasher fan should definitely try it. It's very unusual. I don't know how they fit all of this on the PS4. Maybe even a 9.5, because the sheer variety just overwhelms you. Story: 10. A pure masterpiece in every respect, from the tips of the side quests to every last hair of the main plot, at least so far. Music: 10. The new ambient tracks are good. So far the game can't reach the wow effect of the first part. But it's already fighting for a spot in my top. My personal top games. Sony polished every single bush to perfection in terms of game design. Everything is served in careful portions with no overdose, from new gameplay ideas to the story. Every 4–8 hours the game changes a lot.
