It’s a blockbuster. spectacular, but these are the least of its achievements.” – Tamoor Hussain [Full review]
IGN – 10/10

Perfect writing, perfect performance, knockout action – it’s a complete film of top to bottom artwork.” – Simon Cardy [Full review]
GameRadar – 4.5 / 5
“I found God of War Ragnarok overall to be a strangely detached experience. There’s a light beginning that feels cushioned – still good but lacks depth – leading to an ending that’s equally weighty for humans. But even though it feels like a 15-hour story trying to fill 30 hours of gameplay, God of War Ragnarok is easily one of the best PS5 games of the year. – Leon Hurley [Full review]

Fighting the enemies of the kingdoms feels very much like the previous game, but has enough new and subtle elements to help it stand on its own.” – Jason Fanelli [Full review]

It bends myth around its characters in interesting and timeless ways.” – James Billcliffe [Full review]

“God of War Ragnarök feels a lot like God of War (2018), which is a compliment considering how great that game is. Sony Santa Monica was right not to break what hasn’t been broken and the studio has masterfully continued the story themes left over from the previous game.Any complaints about the overall experience (familiar combat, collecting, and gear leveling up were not particularly enjoyable) were quickly forgotten. forget in the face of compelling story, believable character relationships, incredible visuals and animations. – – Kyle Hilliard [Full review]
The Gamer – 4/5
