God Of War: Ragnarok (Nov. 9th, 2022) (PS4/PS5) (Valhalla DLC out 12/12/2023)

Finished the main story a couple of hours ago

Overall, great game. They did a masterful job using the previous game to land a lot of very emotional moments.

Spoiler: End game and final mission spoilers

"You are ready" had me

Kratos breaking after seeing the shrine Faye painted of him being worshiped

All the moments between Atreus and Kratos

Brok

Sindri going full demonic

Gameplay wise though, I thought it was waaay too similar to the 2018 GOW. Kinda disappointed it didn't move forward at all. I guess they went "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

It's kind of a the opposite of what happened with Horizon Forbidden West, were the narrative went to shyt and gameplay took a step forward (even though it was fun already). Now, at least GOW Ragnarok still kept a fun gameplay instead of going to shyt, but I was still expecting more on that front.

Really curious on how they go about this franchise to be honest. Is Cory Balrog's original idea of taking Kratos to different pantheons still the plan?

Eric Williams has been doing a round of interviews, he said not to expect a DLC or expansion, the team is exhausted and the other parts of Santa Monica are working on Corys game and some other stuff.

As big and successful (probably sonys most iconic franchise at this point) they should put it on ice for the rest of the generation. I think all Sonys studios should move onto new IP after doing sequels, people get burned out easily. It makes sense for them to have sequels for their most popular games from last gen but they shouldn’t run the risk of playin them out.

Santa Monica studios for as talented as they are having only one franchise in 20 years is kind of crazy. They need another IP.

Kinda surprised by this, it certainly felt the game was telling me to be ready for a DLC.

I was only asking because I think I remember Balrog talking about wanting or being able to take Kratos to different pantheons after the smash hit that GOW 2018 was.

I honestly don’t think I’d be able to beat her without the Beserker Kings Hilt move.

Half the jumpscares involve those b*stards

Damn near anything I look up about the game calls that quest "my least favorite part of the game"

 

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

Is this worth the purchase???

Is this worth the purchase???

If you liked and completed the first one.

I honestly think its a crime to own a ps5 and not own this game, regardless.

Take your time and let them switch never chase after one. Attacks are easy to block, dodge or parry. The worst one is the guy's blue attack you gotta shield bash cause it covers the whole arena.
