God of War Ragnarök

A beautiful world filled with things to discover, and a fitting close for Kratos' viking adventure that only misses full marks thanks to a light touch opening half that takes a while to hit its stride.

The truth is, there’s so much more we could say about God of War Ragnarok, but to do so would spoil the experience for you. Ultimately, all you need to know is that this is bigger and better than 2018’s God of War in every single way. Its boss battles are the definition of epic, its world is more rewarding to explore, and its combat has been refined to perfection. Throw in a story that grips you f...

God of War Ragnarok surpasses its predecessor in every way. From its captivating story to its thrilling combat to the endlessly explorable and wonderfully designed Nine Realms of Norse mythology, it's an unequivocal triumph from top to bottom.

I could spend hours upon hours talking about God of War Ragnarok, but at the end of the day, the only thing that should matter to you is if it’s any good — and it is. It’s better than good; it’s a downright masterpiece. I know that word gets thrown around everywhere, and a lot, but I genuinely mean it. The story is beyond anything I would have imagined, and by the time I finished watching every li...

Santa Monica Studio has captured lightning in a bottle for a second time. God of War Ragnarok left me speechless; it’s such a beautiful game both visually and narratively. The team has somehow managed to take what made the original such a wonder and expand upon it, delivering to players a masterpiece, an experience that sits atop the God of War pantheon.

Sony Santa Monica brings back what made the original God of War reboot great and delivers another fantastic story with exceptional writing.

There are some games that you play primarily for the story, others more for the action and sense of adventure. GoW Ragnarok is one of those rare games that does it all incredibly well, and there are perhaps no other games that can match the ways in which it effortlessly blends storytelling with gameplay mechanics. Although I wished for a more satisfying end to the story, I can’t fault the develope...

God of War Ragnarok is the best-written AAA game since 2010's Red Dead Redemption. From a narrative and cinematic point of view, it's a worthy, satisfying, and an immensly emotional conclusion to Kratos' 17 years long journey that leaves the window open just enough for an eventual sequel.

God of War: Ragnarok is a strong follow-up to a modern masterpiece, but does it sacrifice depth for breadth?

Ragnarök is a great example of refining what works rather than reinventing the wheel. If you’re after a compelling story, this is by far 2022’s best offering (sorry, Elden Ring). You’ll quickly find yourself engulfed by this world, and thanks to the unique and relatable characters, you’ll be captivated until the very end. With many hours of gameplay to explore catered to both those who want to jum...

Much like its heroes, God of War: Ragnarök learns to love itself for what it truly is: gargantuan, excessive, and wonderfully absurd.

A meandering plot filled with odd tonal choices, but elevated by incredible cinematography and animation. God Of War Ragnarok is a generous, gorgeous action adventure that’s hard to take seriously, but easy to get sucked in by.
