25 hours into God of War Ragnarok, I experienced the thunderous action game’s first real moment of quiet. Returning from a long excursion to Svartalfheim with his way-too-chatty companions, Kratos walks into his bedroom and sits in silence as he reflects on his increasingly strained relationship with his son, Atreus. His normally unshakable stoicism cracks just enough to let a rare moment of vulnerability shine through, as you can almost catch a tear about to roll down his cracked face before he retreats to sleep – the one place where he can heal.","2025-02-03T07:25:24.458898-05:00","2025-07-08T15:21:03.962609-04:00",{"id":206,"logo":268,"name":269,"slug":270,"tags":73,"bluesky":271,"twitter":272,"youtube":273,"facebook":274,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":275,"website_url":276,"score_format":79,"average_score":167,"default_timezone":49,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":50,"headquarters_city":277,"news_editor_email":278,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":279,"reviews_editor_email":278,"editor_in_chief_email":280,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FDigital-Trends-Logo.jpg","Digital Trends","digital-trends","digital-trends.bsky.social","digitaltrends","UC8wXC0ZCfGt3HaVLy_fdTQw","DigitalTrends","Tech for the way we live.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com","Portland","gcolantonio@digitaltrends.com","United States","nick@digitaltrends.com",{"id":282,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":283,"author":284,"original_score":290,"normalized_score":64,"review_url":291,"review_date":292,"summary":293,"created_at":294,"updated_at":294,"author_id":285,"last_edited_at":295,"outlet":296},105449,139,{"id":285,"bio":26,"name":286,"avg_score":287,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":288,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":289,"claim_token":26,"article_count":110,"claimed_by_user_id":26},9201,"Taoshi",81.56410256410257,"2025-03-27T06:45:48.697854-04:00","2026-06-23T11:38:57.405898-04:00","7","https:\u002F\u002Fgamespace.com\u002Fall-articles\u002Fnews\u002Fgod-of-war-ragnarok-ps4-review\u002F","2023-05-05","The game experience of God of War: Ragnarök is very uneven.

Although I wished for a more satisfying end to the story, I can’t fault the developers for their continued commitment to small details in both graphic and sound design, and there are countless aspects of the narrative which are as well-crafted and memorable as any from the previous game. The core mechanics are expanded in constructive ways, and you can do more than ever with different combat options.

Yes, it was a continuation of Kratos’ original multi-game journey, but it placed him and a new family in a foreign world to reflect on his past and try to secure his future. Kratos’ journey to connect to his son while battling a new legion of distrustful gods was a revelation in both video game storytelling and action, setting a high bar for the inevitable sequel. Ragnarök may lack the unique impact of the prior game, but everything that worked so well the first time comes forward, along with a story that earns the proper definition of the term epic.\n \nRagnarök basically picks up exactly where the previous left off in terms of narrative. Atreus is a little older and has shed the ‘boy’ nickname entirely. In a tradition established early in the God of War series, the opening hours are stellar. The action kicks off immediately, setting up new foes and old friends, but among all the explosive set pieces are quiet moments of engrossing performance showcase. Newcomer Odin and returning scorned mother Freya’s characterizations are particularly fantastic, but even the weakest performance in Ragnarök makes the typical video game performance pale in comparison.","2025-03-26T07:55:46.481233-04:00",{"id":1202,"logo":1215,"name":1216,"slug":1217,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":1218,"youtube":1219,"facebook":1220,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1221,"website_url":1222,"score_format":47,"average_score":48,"default_timezone":49,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":50,"headquarters_city":1223,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":279,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis",{"id":1225,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":1226,"author":1227,"original_score":47,"normalized_score":313,"review_url":1234,"review_date":831,"summary":1235,"created_at":1236,"updated_at":1236,"author_id":1228,"last_edited_at":1236,"outlet":1237},144551,149,{"id":1228,"bio":26,"name":1229,"avg_score":1230,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":1231,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":1232,"claim_token":26,"article_count":1233,"claimed_by_user_id":26},12348,"Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja",81.72727272727273,"2025-05-07T12:52:34.153513-04:00","2025-05-07T14:33:33.303339-04:00",22,"https:\u002F\u002Fsirusgaming.com\u002Fgod-of-war-ragnarok-review\u002F","When a title gets a grand number, it’s a video-game worth spending your whole life in.","2025-05-07T13:54:04.178161-04:00",{"id":1226,"logo":1238,"name":1239,"slug":1240,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":1241,"youtube":1242,"facebook":1243,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1244,"website_url":1245,"score_format":47,"average_score":80,"default_timezone":49,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":50,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":1246,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":279,"reviews_editor_email":1246,"editor_in_chief_email":1247,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fsirus-gaming-logo.png","Sirus Gaming","sirus-gaming","SIRUSGofficial","\u002FSirusGamingOfficial","SirusGamingOfficial","Sirus Gaming is a team of passionate gamers delivering the latest news, reviews, and insights on the gaming industry.","https:\u002F\u002Fsirusgaming.com\u002F","editorial@sirusgaming.com","lexuzze.tablante@sirusgaming.com"]
