God of War Ragnarök starts off deceptively simple and familiar, but it shakes up expectations and keeps the player guessing. It improves upon the prior title in every way, including audio, combat, gameplay, narrative, and visuals - and the original was already outstanding.

The conclusion of the Norse Saga starring Kratos and Atreus is most certainly the best part in the series. God of War Ragnarok take the formula from the previous game and refines it to almost perfection. If God of War (2018) is seen as a masterpiece, God of War Ragnarok sits one tier above, in a league of its own.

God of War: Ragnarok is a fantastic title, building from its predecessor's already phenomenal combat, though the story wasn't everything that I hoped it would be.

Basically, repeating a masterpiece is extremely difficult and to some extent impossible, and most numbered titles, whether in the medium of video games or cinema, lose their magic and sense of freshness after that first journey. Regarding the new God of War, it should be said that maybe this title is not as revolutionary or even magical as the 2018 title, but it definitely succeeded in all areas to perform better than the 2018 God of War and expand the same successful formula in the best possible way. it can be clearly said that it is a better title than the 2018 version

God of War Ragnarok is what happens when developers actually care about fans criticism, and try their best to make some amends. in GOW: Ragnarok, gameplay has seen some important improvements; exploration and in general gameplay progress is faster, searching environment for loot is more optimal and backtracking is less annoying and variety is on another level. That being said, the core of the game remains intact. a great journey filled with epic cinematics, ample QTEs and lots of blockbuster elements. On the other hand, pacing issue is serious and over the shoulder camera make fights in the second half of game unmanageable because they are too crowded. If you liked God of War 2018, you're going to love God of War Ragnarok, but if you prefer a game that never let you put controler down then it might not be for you.

Ragnarök is here, and it is everything you expect from a God of War game (and some more). It has the personal, emotional storytelling of GoW (2018), epic and brutal battles of Greek-era and a unique, interesting take on Norse mythology. It's a beautiful and satisfying sequel through and through...

This concluding entry builds upon the strengths of its predecessor and is a final conclusion to its story, but some of the flaws still remain.

In the end, I can't shake how captivating the chemistry among the characters was in God of War: Ragnarok. I probably laughed and got misty-eyed more times in the first few hours of playing this than I did for the whole first game. Plenty of heavy themes are tackled here other than life and death: alcoholism, abusive relationships, codependency, depression, emotional breakthroughs, true father-and-son bonding, manipulation, etc. You could call this game God of War: Families, Amirite? I've deliberately been vague about many of the key plot points, funny exchanges and gut-punch moments because I think people need to experience them for themselves. I probably already said too much regarding the bears, but they left an impact. The rest of God of War: Ragnarok will make quite an impression as well, and perhaps provide lessons that can outlive us all.

Ragnarök is popcorn entertainment, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. This game’s going to sell a billion copies for a reason.

God of War Ragnarök is an innocuous sequel that continues on the path laid out by its predecessor. The writing and narrative leave something to be desired, but with solid gameplay and great presentation, there's plenty to see and do in these Nine Realms.

God of War: Ragnarok is a natural evolution of the 2018 title, featuring an excellent story, an amazing technical side, new gameplay features, incredible battles and lots of varied content to explore. Easily a game of the year contender, Kratos and Atreus' new adventure is unforgettable and satisfyingly concludes this chapter of the Norse mythology.

God of War Ragnarok is a masterpiece in all aspects and is a very strong contender for the Game of the Year 2022 title. The buildups towards the climax felt like the end of a very long, but satisfyingly attractive, tunnel. It’s definitely one of the games on my list I wish to play again for the first time.

God of War Ragnarök is a highly successful, polished game that, with its PC version, shines like never before. Beautiful worlds and an engaging story are incredibly strong elements that make it difficult to pull away from this title. The exploration, however, might not be appealing to everyone, especially if you've maxed out the previous installment, as here we primarily get more of the same. Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly recommend the PC version of Ragnarök as it gave me with many moving moments as well as those that made me chuckle.
