God of War Ragnarök2022

First of all, I would like to quote myself from my review of Elden Ring to better explain why I find Ragnarök so awesome: I think I learned through Elden Ring why I play games primarily because of good gameplay or because of a good story. The world in which the game plays is rather secondary. Needless to say, it must not be outrageous, [...] (https://ggapp.io/jannik 1904/reviews/elden-ring/xrysTr5t) And in Ragnarök, in addition to the good gameplay and the fantastic story, a good world building is combined. Graphics/Technology: The graphics are only one thing impressive to us. Sharp textures, ingenious motion capture and good effect are just a touch of the aspects to be praised. In addition, I could not register a single fram drop let alone a crash in about 60 hours of play. Just phenomenal. Gameplay: To be brief: The game actually plays almost 1 to 1 like the predecessor from 2018. A few more players have come along. However, I find that the fight is partly too bloated, because there are sometimes too many combinations of runes, special attacks and the partner at his side. In addition, the combat system is not at this From Software level, so that boss fights, especially with several opponents at the same time, become very confusing and I died one or the other time. All in all, however, the gameplay in the main storyline is tremendous fun. It’s massive and it’s just fun to split a Draugr with a finisher. Especially since there is also an extreme variety in the gameplay: With Atreus as the 2nd playable character, another completely different component comes into the game: distance combat with arrow and bow. In addition, Freya as 2nd partner with Kratos. So the game never gets boring. But this is especially the next point: Especially in the story boss fights, God of War Ragnarök draws all stops regarding staging, image violence and effects. What is partially shown on the screen is phenomenal! Unfortunately, a God of War 3 does not come close. Story: Again, I want to be brief: the story is fantastic. Above all, I would like to praise how the Kratos saga was completed and how a character is respectfully retired, similar to Uncharted 4. Whether there is another part with other characters, I can not say, it is possible in any case. Only the story history I found a bit fragmented and not as consistent as in the 2018 part. However, this is again complaining at a high level. As mentioned, the ending was successful, as the characters go through meaningful developments and act on them. Especially Krato’s personal ending was excellent. Conclusion: The Kratos journey comes to a good conclusion with an ending with which, in my opinion, everyone can be satisfied. Ragnarök is a fantastic game that will please any player who can start a little with action games; Especially everyone who liked the game from 2018. Personally, I love this type of game and hope Sony develops it with its partners and sets an example for others in the industry of what modern Tripple A games must look like!
