Review: God Of War Ragnarok

God of War Ragnarok is a sumptuous production with flawless graphics, jaw-dropping grandeur, crunchy action that is both rewarding and cruel, and a world that demands to be explored in every corner and nook. It’s a stunning spectacle, but that’s only the beginning of its accomplishments.

In a game where a monstrous deity rips all kinds of animals limb from limb, the most stunning moments are delivered by profound words and deep feelings rather than blood. They are a former God of War, known for viciously slaughtering his clan, finding the language to sympathise with loss; a depressed youngster pleading with a parent to halt a self-destructive cycle; and a sweet moment in the life of a lad who bears the weight of the world on his shoulders.

God of War Ragnarok is a long game, but the story and characterisation make every step of the trip worthwhile. It justifies the length of the film by developing an intimacy with the characters that can only be achieved by spending hours and hours with them, understanding how they perceive the world and what drives their thinking. And almost every character is intriguing, especially the Aesir gods, who can be harsh even at their finest. With their doom coming, however, each of them begins to crumble in different ways. Some people’s nature gets even more focused, which has unfavourable consequences. Others, on the other hand, are compelled to reconsider what genuinely matters to them.

When it comes to facing Kratos and Atreus’ foes on the battlefield, God of War Ragnarok doesn’t deviate significantly from the previous game, however there are some new additions and extensions to core features. However, the primary gameplay stays the same, which works in its favour. It is quite easy to start tearing through the battlefield, and the tight camera perspective provides a dramatic front-row seat to the cruelty that Kratos’ famous reputation is founded on.

Kratos’ ferocity is mirrored in the foes, who attack significantly harder and attempt to overwhelm. This is acceptable in the early hours, but as the game progresses and harder foes arise, the mechanics may struggle to keep up with the increasing pace and ferocity. These adversaries frequently take far more damage, have numerous phases, or move around and strike from a distance, and there can be multiple of them in many circumstances. As a result, it is common to feel as if you are being tugged in several directions, and cracks in your defensive choices appear.

What sets God of War Ragnarok apart from its predecessor and most other action games Despite the fact that the game is about fighting gods and the end of the world, the game’s heart is significantly more romantic. It’s possible you’ve noticed that we have avoided stating character names or discussing story beats on purpose. More discussion of anything or anybody would deprive you of some of the most unexpected things that God of War Ragnarok does with its narrative and the topics it explores.

While the last game’s sensitive approach to fatherhood was surprising, Ragnarok manages to feel even more intimate about the delicate nature of families and the people who make them up. There is a true and sympathetic emotion for every act of savagery.
