God of War Ragnarök (PS5)

God of War Ragnarök is everything I hoped for and more. From the stunning visuals to the deeply emotional story, this game is an absolute masterpiece. The combat is smoother and more refined than ever, and the variety of enemies and boss battles keeps things exciting throughout. Kratos and Atreus have incredible character development, and the Norse mythology is woven into the world so beautifully—it really pulls you in. The environments are breathtaking, the soundtrack is powerful, and the attention to detail is just next level. It runs flawlessly on the PS5 with fast loading times and incredible graphics. Whether you’re a fan of the first game or new to the series, this is a must-play. Easily one of the best games of this generation! I eagerly await another entry into the series.

I really enjoyed God of War Ragnarok and the combat is excellent, in the harder difficulties it forces you to use everything at your disposal and effectively too. Characters are written very well, the fact you see Kratos develop his more understanding, merciful and compassionate side is beautiful to see when in the past he’s been mainly a vessel for pure rage and destruction. The bond with Atreus feels very genuinely crafted, alot of scenes hit hard playing as a father yourself. I give the game 5/5 because of how much I enjoyed it I feel like I cannot give less, it is a very good game and most of the set pieces are masterfully executed, but if I was being very critical I would. Why, because too much of the games mechanics just feel outdated and boring. I am playing as the God of War, can someone please explain why I’m forced to crawl painstakingly slow through crevice after crevice and climb countless cliffs. At least in games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted they try to make these segments somewhat engaging and it makes more sense to be doing them in the context of you’re a human explorer but I’m KRATOS and the movement just feels so sluggish. I completely understand what they were going for with this and the original God of War 2018, but I think they focused too much on making the experience feel weighty and somewhat realistic rather than remembering first and foremost this a video game and the focus should be pure fun. The puzzles are also lame, why even include them at all when whichever NPC you’re playing alongside blurts out the answer if you don’t instantly complete it. The constant annoying chatter from your companions made me want to quit and boot up Elden Ring, I feel like my intelligence was being constantly insulted. These gripes are not exclusive to this game, I think it’s just the way most Western first party developers have veered too heavily towards and I feel like people need to start following devs like Insomniac Games more, all of their games are insanely fun to play and perfectly encapsulate what the focus of video games should be, pure enjoyment first and foremost. I know not all games can be the same but even when you look at a lot of Japanese games (Metal Gear Solid, Yakuza) that are very custscene and set piece heavy, it balances out because the gameplay is so fun and fast paced. I really hope these outdated game mechanics stay in the last generation because from what we have seen already with pure next gen games, the potential for innovative creative and exciting games is endless, we don’t want to spend time having our hands held and wasting time climbing, that’s just not fun and devs need to start doing better. Ultimately Ragnarok is a very good game but ironically serves as a reminder that new generation games need to take bold steps in a new direction.

I have just finished the whole game and wow, what a ride I've been on for the last few days. I completely lost myself in the story, I couldn't stop myself playing. The story is extremely well written, the graphics are fantastic and will definitely ruin the next few games I had my eyes on, as the attention to detail, textures and animations will be hard to top from what the next big releases on my list have previewed so far. The story has been a roller coaster of emotions and I'm glad that we also get the chance to play as other players than Kratos at times to experience a whole different timeline/side of the story. I laughed, I cried, I shouted at my TV when I got killed in a boss fight, i was shocked at some twists and turns. Everything I could ask of a game and so much more. If you, too, found Atreus incredibly annoying in the first part, there will be times where you wanna kill him and will roll your eyes, but by far not to that extent and I even took a liking to him in general (apart from some things he said and did), the character development is apparent - not only in Atreus, but also in Kratos in particular. I do hope for another part or at least a long DLC, there's some questions and loose ends that need explaining!! 10/10, would recommend (if you couldn't tell).

Great game and amazing gameplay

I've been looking forward to this game for a while. It took a little bit of time to install the 91GB base along with any patches. You start out selecting from a fair selection of accessibly options and other performance settings. Once in the game it gives you the option to catch up on what happened in the previous game which is nice to go through. You then kick off the game learning the basic movement and combat before really progressing into the fantastic game play. I have not observed any bugs or glitches in the game play so far. I did make sure to install the day one patch as recommended. First thing i really noticed is the haptic feedback on this game is amazing as are the visuals and sound effects. The combat controls are similar to the previous game and felt natural and easy to get into. Kratos himself is as gruff as ever with Christopher Judge continuing to do a great job voicing Kratos as the character develops new layers. Characters from the previous game return with the same great banter to lighten up a sometimes-heavy story. New characters have an interesting choice of voice direction but works well once you have got used to it. There are more side quests in this one and a lot of opportunities to explore to find loot for upgrading your equipment or making new equipment. The usual skill tree can be augmented if you use a skill enough times, you can unlock a rune for it to make it more powerful. Items comes with different perks so you can really customize kratos to your play style. So far, I'm very much enjoying playing Ragnarok and would absolutely recommend it to everyone.

God of War: Ragnarok is everything I hoped for and more. The graphics are stunning, the story is deeply emotional, and the gameplay is incredibly smooth and engaging. You can really feel the power of the PS5 with this title — it’s a masterpiece from start to finish!
