God of War: Ragnarök

A fantastic and strong continuation of its predecessor, God of War Ragnarök is not afraid to take unexpected turns, or slow its pace for you to fully explore an environment. It has the same upgrading system as before, but with better armor, in my opinion. Atreus is a little bit older now and it's so great to see everybody reprise their magnificent roles.

I don't want to give away too much in this review, but it's definitely worth buying. One of the best looking games on PS5. It'll definitely be a game of the year contender with Elden Ring. If you're new to the series, I recommend you start with God of War (2018) If you have the dedication, you could always start from the very first one. They're all on the PS+ collection. I still have yet to beat this newest entry, but I wanted to spread the good word as soon as possible: Ragnarök is here and it is beautiful.

This is one for the books. I've been playing god of war since its inception and this is the most satisfying installment in the series by far and that's saying a lot. The journey Kratos has took over 8 games defies description but I will do my best to give it justice. This man has became a God by slaughtering the Pantheon. You sympathesize with Kratos, knowing he's justified in all his actions. Sure, they're out of anger and malice but that ill-will is well deserved. Then we have the Norse version of the games and I'm taken aback by this much more reserved and wise protagonist. His redemption arch sets a bar I don't think another game will top for a long time. To watch him become a father and a fully-realized God is a sight to see. Anyone who has a Playstation I urge you this is a series that cannot be missed.

Never has a game left me with such awe. Left in goosebumps I sit here thinking about the last hours I poured into this beautiful game. With the same set of goosebumps that help tight to my skin the entire playthrough. The character development had my face stained with a permanent smile. The story had me engrossed and excited. The gameplay was far more snappy and quick, heavy hitting and impactful. The world is so immersive and real. The lessons learned and the story presented is one that will forever stick. I know as a certainty that this game won't leave my mind for quite some time.

This is undoubtedly the best game I have ever played.

This game is nothing less than an emotional roller coaster ride, I won't spoil the story but very few Hollywood movies can match the story telling. Story, Gameplay, Graphics all were perfect, the same perfect formula of 2018 game God of War was used and you don't need to change what you have already perfected, Don't watch any YouTube reviews go in the game blind and experience every new character for the first time, its a must buy for first day and playstation have told us that they are still the king of making single player story games and no studio can come even close to playstation when it comes to making a great story.

Now I understand how Sony was convinced to release first GOW (2018) on PC. Honestly if I wouldn't have a Playstation, I could be looking to get a PS4 or PS5 asap. Because this is not only one of the greatest title of Sony, but also it's probably the best blockbuster in recent memory. Even first Avengers or Endgame didn't give me this sort of satisfaction to be honest, nowhere close. Such a complete and epic storytelling, vastly increased depth in character development, dialogues and actions make sense, unforgettable moments, perfected an already great gameplay with highly improved graphics. And most of all, face animations are probably the most realistic ones. Especially Freya and Kratos seemed like almost real people.

Before the release, I've been thinking this is going to be a huge DLC as some claimed but I can assure it's entirely something else. Maybe first one or two hours you'll have that feeling briefly but be patient, it only gets better and better along the way. They've already created an amazing game engine and strong gameplay with first one, apparently it gave developers an opportunity to focus on storytelling, art direction and additional characters and oh boy, it really paid off.

No need for any spoilers. And I highly recommend avoid any gamesplay videos at all costs. You'll want to see and feel every detail for yourself. I'm very careful using overused words like masterpiece and epic, and I'm really careful to rate a title 10/10. But this game deserves everything.

Finally, thanks to Sony. Single player gaming should never die because such a perfection is only possible by single player titles. And thanks to Santa Monica. This game is a "naughty" statement to other Sony Studios about how a sequel should be made. This is a must-have!
