God of War Ragnarök

This is god of war's (2018) doom eternal situation. A really good game reboots a beloved franchise and gets a sequel after four years that takes the original and improves on everything. Still this game is unique enough from the original to feel completely new.

From beginning to end you are enthralled into the 9 beautifully realized realms as the story takes you from amazing spectacle to amazing spectacle. This game is never predictable and it makes for a rollercoaster i wanna ride plenty more times. The acting performances, the character models and camera work make every cutscene something you should never skip. This truly is another sony masterpiece.

After the success of the 2018 reboot of God Of War, I found it very hard to even fathom what could possibly be improved and was concurrently worried that a sequel would water down the brilliance and poignance of the first.

Not only were my concerns alleviated, it improved upon the sequel in every imaginable way. The score by Bear McCreary came back with vengeance and introduced new themes providing the emotive path that would be tread throughout the story.

This is similar to the 2018 sequel but at the same time wholly different, with more characters to meet and (what seems) a vastly larger world, you are more immersed and really do feel part of the world and story arc at large; the ambient sound and tasteful use of 3D audio also completely encompasses you in whatever realm you end up in.

Speaking of realms, there's more of them and they're stunning! Each has their own dynamic and tale just like the first but this goes far more in depth.

Ragnarok has an incredibly written story, worthy of Oscar's (let alone game awards). Speaking of which, Christopher Judge as Kratos, Sunny Saljic and the whole host of incredibly talented cast really showed off what is possible with acting in the game industry; their performances are all award worthy, the story is award worthy, the soundtrack...

Many may think my title is a stretch, but, this game really does set the bar for years to come and in my opinion (at the moment at least) nothing comes even close to what the team at Santa Monica Studios has created.

Bravo.

This is one for the books. I've been playing god of war since its inception and this is the most satisfying installment in the series by far and that's saying a lot. The journey Kratos has took over 8 games defies description but I will do my best to give it justice. This man has became a God by slaughtering the Pantheon. You sympathesize with Kratos, knowing he's justified in all his actions. Sure, they're out of anger and malice but that ill-will is well deserved. Then we have the Norse version of the games and I'm taken aback by this much more reserved and wise protagonist. His redemption arch sets a bar I don't think another game will top for a long time. To watch him become a father and a fully-realized God is a sight to see. Anyone who has a Playstation I urge you this is a series that cannot be missed.

God of War Ragnarok is a MASTERPIECE. It has met every fans expectation and by far surpassed it. It improves everything on what made God of War 2018 so great. I am having a time of my life playing this game. Graphics are out of this world. The best graphics I have seen in any game to this date. The Gameplay remains unbeatable. So satisfying with every click of a button and you can feel all those attacks with haptic feedback on the ps5 controller. The pure bliss of all the variety of attacks, combos and moves. Different ways to slaughter your enemies. Oh boy If I sit and state every great thing this game offers it will take me an eternity. This game is the sole worthy of the title "Masterpiece" and "Game of the Year 2022" atleast in my and many MANY others opinions.

Reviews speaks for themselves on how great this game is. Any rating you see you see on amazon that's 1 star is review bombing. Same goes for Metacritic "User score" everyone who gave it a 0 or 1 is just trolling. I am stating all this because I was also once following these rating of trolls and was mislead so many times until I got to know for myself, So be aware. You can easily see these trollers pattern; They will rate it 0 and will go on to say how the game is just "DLC" "Overrated" "good but not that many improvement for a ps5 game" "This game is joke wasted my money" and blah blah blah. These people are just haters and trollers and not to be taken seriously as they have never played the game nor know anything about it. They just know how to go on internet and rate anything 0 or 1.

Now if you are new to the series and want to get into it. I recommend you to play God of War 2018 first and before that Watch a video on Youtube by Playstation Grenade with the title "God of War The Story So Far... Everything You Need To Know (2018)" This video catches you up on previous 1-3 God of War games and spoils nothing of God of War 2018. God of War 2018 is also called God of War 4 among many fans of the series as it is indeed a sequel so watching and understanding everything in the recap video I mentioned above is a must. After You have watched and understood the video, you are all set to hop in God of War 2018. Now if you loved God of War 2018 after playing it than Get God of War Ragnarok cuz this game is a sequel to the 2018 one. God of War Series is my favorite game of all time in my 20 years of gaming. No game has met and by far surpassed my expectations like God of War did. That's why I HIGHLY recommend this series to everyone, give it a chance. Trust me you won't regret it. You have the word of a loyal fan.

P. S. Short Story on how I became a loyal and did hard fan of the series. I took the same path as I have mentioned above. I watched the recap video than Played 2018 and my god I LOVED IT. I got soo hooked to the series that I played the first 1-3 God of War games myself by buying Playstation Plus premium with free trial for 7 days and finishing all thoes titles in just 4 days. After that I played God of War 2018 again for the second time and finished the main story from start to finish in just 2 days to be all ready and prepared for Ragnarok. I am so glad that I caught up on the previous games. This game and journey will forever be very close and special to me.

Thank you for reading 😊
