God of War: Ragnarök

A game that touches heavily on the fatherhood subject and letting kids grow to be their own person. Story is well done, characters are very fleshed out and the visuals are amazing. The final battle was a bit of a let down but everything else about the game was top notch.

[h1]Really strong sequel to a Game of the Year Game.[/h1] This Game starts out so strong with literal gods having a human conversation in the Home of Kratos to escalating to a big fight. It is one of my most favorite openings in any game. The game expands on everything GoW 2018 offered: -Better graphics -More Combat Mechanics -New weapon -New characters This expansion on everything is the only downside of the game. They tried to cramp so much story telling and so many new characters in a single game where in my opinion the Norse saga could have been a trilogy (GoW 2018, GoW Fimbulwinter, GoW ragnarok). They tried to fit Atreus in here as well. His gameplay is a bit lackluster, in the sense that it doesn't feel that satisfying. He is a god in the making so it didn't bother me that much. The thing that bothered me with the Atreus segments is that they felt like a chore... I've played this game 2 times (once on PS on release and then on PC) and everytime I get to that Iron Wood segment I roll my eyes. Generally there's more to do in the nine realms too. A lot of side quests and favors which makes the game not boring at any time. [i]"And there is Ragnarok. The skies burn. The curtains Fall."[/i] When Ragnarok finally comes omg. You feel like you are in a literal mythological War. Ragnarok was a bit short though I wanted more of that war idk how others feel about this and is the biggest reason I wanted a trilogy. TLDR: Graphis: 10/10 Gameplay: 9/10 Story: 8/10 [b]Valhalla: "Master thyself"[/b] Valhalla is a free DLC the GOATs in Santa Monica just dropped one day. This is a self discovery of Kratos who is burdened with his past he has been so desperately trying to avoid and hide the past 2 games all packed in a roguelike mode. Making the DLC a roguelike was a genius move imo as a roguelike makes you adapt on any given rank and you have to Master all weapons. This reflects that the player has to master his gameplay while kratos masters his inner self. Gameplay wise it is very satisfying slashing through enemies getting stronger with each run and having conversations with the Valkeries. Dont expect huge depth in builds though. The Devs just took existing perks that where in the base game and use them in the roguelike. Still though a really strong DLC. The DLCs point was to give a closure to Kratos closing a big chapter in his life and opening a new one. I am really exited to see how Kratos will grow and develop as he has finally come to inner peace and acceptance which he was longing for so many games. I wish all the best for the God of Hope. [u]Thank you Santa Monika for all these amazing games which I have been cherishing since a kid.[/u]

After I fully completed the first game I just couldn't wait for this game to have a discount on it. I liked this game even better then the last one. Amazing boss fights, fantastic gameplay and a great story.
