What players say

11/10 God of War remake before this game. From the moment i started Ragnarok, it was an issue here and an issue there. Gameplay was great on the hardest difficulty, this is what i want from the game. But in the puzzles they just tell you the answer in a couple seconds for some reason. And the dialogue, it's a nosedive from the first game. Explaining story points barebones and telling you how you should feel. And...

Extremely low FOV, "cinematic" camera movement over gameplay, insufferable Atreus, lowish-res textures, convoluted story, mobile-like UI, marvel-like dialogue and jokes. handholding NPCs / puzzles.. If you've played GOW 2018, this just feels like a {bad} DLC.
MattNot recommendedafter 21h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
Absolute masterpiece of a sequel! Everything was good , the story, boss fights , side quests and the Valhalla DLC 10/10 would recommend. It's sad that Sony won't be porting games anymore
