“God of War Ragnarök stands as a formidable exemplar of contemporary narrative-driven game design, and to approach it merely as a sequel would be to understate its ambition. Santa Monica Studio has not simply extended…”
“Ragnarok takes everything that made God of War great and elevates it to another level with a bigger story, better combat and unforgettable moments throughout. A very strong sequel that delivers all the way through.…”
“I like the Story, the Fights, the Characters, the Worlds that you created and the Dialoges. But your Riddles.... They could be ok as they are but don let the Companions always come up with the Solution after 1 Minute.…”

“A wonderful example of good story telling. Beautiful world design and an amazing score. Played entirely on Steam Deck and it played great. Only issue with the game is it requires an internet connection to get to the…”
“Looks great & plays well... praying for a 3rd game with more Christopher Judge voice acting.”
“10/10 for sure. Looks and plays amazingly. Getting over 60 FPS on High settings, doubled once I turn on FSR Frame Generation. Very well optimized. They somehow not only made combat better, but they also improved…”

“Already finished this game on PS5 when it was still exclusive to the console, but I managed to buy it for a reasonable price. It still remains one of the best action-adventure games out there. I can’t really say much…”
“Worth every dollar. Already 100% it and would do it again just for the story and character development.”
“This game is probably one of the greatest games ever made. From story to combat all the way to the graphics I couldn't be happier with this purchase. There comes a point in the story where you get hooked (about 10 or so…”

“Alright, I completed the previous game and truly enjoyed it—the events were engaging, and the character concepts were well-crafted and compelling. Unfortunately, this game, God of War Ragnarök left me feeling quite…”
“Has that Sony cinematic touch that I feel dragged the gameplay of these new GoW games. I feel Sony damages a lot of things it touches honestly. On one hand, the story was good, but on the other hand the gameplay feels…”
“It's a good sequel, but it didn't feel like an evolution of the formula. It's just more of the same. So if you liked the first, just expect around the same amount of enjoyment.”

“It's a good game but a terrible story direction choice for the franchise, considering the previous title. God of War 2018 is the most heartfelt mythology game I've experienced, exhilarating and epic, balanced with…”

“Love the story and combat. Acting is amazing. But this already long game is sadly much longer than it needs to be with the grind reliant bosses and potential softlocks. Walk into the wrong cave and the miniboss won't…”
“Here is my take on the game. Well? I cannot say. Game will not run, crashes before the main menu, crashes at the main menu, and crashes when I look at the game in my library. God of War 2022 ran like a dream. 1.78x DSR…”

“Only problem about this game is that mini-games can be so confusing when you encounter them for the first time. But you'll get used to it after a few tries. Everything else in this game looks perfect to me!”

“Fun game, but memory leak means I choose to restart every ~30 mins to avoid the lag.”
“Run pretty good on my rig load times be long for areas but we chillin the dougie and the jets”
“100% achievement + 100% collectibles on map, what a great game. Be aware that this game need at least GPU with 6GB VRAM to run well. My Steamdeck and laptop with 3050 4GB struggled so much on it.”

“Ragnarok is the direct sequel to 2018's Dad of War, and I purchased these games quite a while ago but finally got to my backlog and got to play these games in tandem. In total, it's around 100 hours to fully complete both games 100%. Ragnarok picks off exactly where God of War…”
— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“For those who love entertainment. A story about the fear of repeating past mistakes, a story about parents and children, fear, fate, and choice, disguised as an epic”
— a player, Steam review · 104 hrs played“Loved all 107 hours I spent on this game. By far one of the greatest releases of the decade. I know I am late to play this but a poor kid who finally got a big boy job and afforded my own devices bought my own game and finished it by myself, I'm sure many people would understand…”
