Getting a PS5? Then read about the game to play first in our God Of War: Ragnarök review. PlayStation SonySantaMonica
The story continues Kratos and Atreus’ journey through godhood in the harsh Norse pantheon, and both combat and exploration feel familiar – from punching chests to find gear, to slicing through enemy flesh, it’s like we never turned the console off at the end of the last quest.
By the game’s end, the gods do clash, though God Of War: Ragnarök's structure can sometimes feel less focused than the specific ‘reach the tallest mountain in the realms’ goal of the first game. What results is a lengthy journey across the realms to find answers, and allies, to face the coming pantheocalypse.God Of War: Ragnarök wastes no time in showing you the threats snapping at the pair’s heels.
A few do get the short end of the stick – that’s perhaps unavoidable in a game this ambitious – and more could be done to dig into the plight of the common folk across the lands, who are otherwise mostly voiceless . Kratos, meanwhile, has more than a few new combat tricks up his sleeve . This is still some of the best over-the-shoulder melee action you’ll find, neatly adapting the gruff protagonist’s character action roots. You start out with both the Leviathan Axe and Blades Of Chaos, and it can seem almost overwhelming at first, even though he doesn’t retain skill upgrades between the games, but with more options for staying mobile, the axe and dual swords complement each other brilliantly.
Combos are rewarded with the ability to temporarily power up your weapons, a neat trick that complements Kratos’ Spartan Rages .
