    I'm left speechless

    Never has a game left me with such awe. Left in goosebumps I sit here thinking about the last hours I poured into this beautiful game. With the same set of goosebumps that help tight to my skin the entire playthrough. The character development had my face stained with a permanent smile. The story had me engrossed and excited. The gameplay was far more snappy and quick, heavy hitting and impactful. The world is so immersive and real. The lessons learned and the story presented is one that will forever stick. I know as a certainty that this game won't leave my mind for quite some time.

    This is undoubtedly the best game I have ever played.

    Peak of Story Telling Achieved

    This game is nothing less than an emotional roller coaster ride, I won't spoil the story but very few Hollywood movies can match the story telling. Story, Gameplay, Graphics all were perfect, the same perfect formula of 2018 game God of War was used and you don't need to change what you have already perfected, Don't watch any YouTube reviews go in the game blind and experience every new character for the first time, its a must buy for first day and playstation have told us that they are still the king of making single player story games and no studio can come even close to playstation when it comes to making a great story.

    God of War Ragnarök

    A fantastic and strong continuation of its predecessor, God of War Ragnarök is not afraid to take unexpected turns, or slow its pace for you to fully explore an environment. It has the same upgrading system as before, but with better armor, in my opinion. Atreus is a little bit older now and it's so great to see everybody reprise their magnificent roles.

    I don't want to give away too much in this review, but it's definitely worth buying. One of the best looking games on PS5. It'll definitely be a game of the year contender with Elden Ring. If you're new to the series, I recommend you start with God of War (2018) If you have the dedication, you could always start from the very first one. They're all on the PS+ collection. I still have yet to beat this newest entry, but I wanted to spread the good word as soon as possible: Ragnarök is here and it is beautiful.

    MASTERPIECE (Read my whole review to understand why some people are rating it 0 or 1)

    God of War Ragnarok is a MASTERPIECE. It has met every fans expectation and by far surpassed it. It improves everything on what made God of War 2018 so great. I am having a time of my life playing this game. Graphics are out of this world. The best graphics I have seen in any game to this date. The Gameplay remains unbeatable. So satisfying with every click of a button and you can feel all those attacks with haptic feedback on the ps5 controller. The pure bliss of all the variety of attacks, combos and moves. Different ways to slaughter your enemies. Oh boy If I sit and state every great thing this game offers it will take me an eternity. This game is the sole worthy of the title "Masterpiece" and "Game of the Year 2022" atleast in my and many MANY others opinions.

    Reviews speaks for themselves on how great this game is. Any rating you see you see on amazon that's 1 star is review bombing. Same goes for Metacritic "User score" everyone who gave it a 0 or 1 is just trolling. I am stating all this because I was also once following these rating of trolls and was mislead so many times until I got to know for myself, So be aware. You can easily see these trollers pattern; They will rate it 0 and will go on to say how the game is just "DLC" "Overrated" "good but not that many improvement for a ps5 game" "This game is joke wasted my money" and blah blah blah. These people are just haters and trollers and not to be taken seriously as they have never played the game nor know anything about it. They just know how to go on internet and rate anything 0 or 1.

    Now if you are new to the series and want to get into it. I recommend you to play God of War 2018 first and before that Watch a video on Youtube by Playstation Grenade with the title "God of War The Story So Far... Everything You Need To Know (2018)" This video catches you up on previous 1-3 God of War games and spoils nothing of God of War 2018. God of War 2018 is also called God of War 4 among many fans of the series as it is indeed a sequel so watching and understanding everything in the recap video I mentioned above is a must. After You have watched and understood the video, you are all set to hop in God of War 2018. Now if you loved God of War 2018 after playing it than Get God of War Ragnarok cuz this game is a sequel to the 2018 one. God of War Series is my favorite game of all time in my 20 years of gaming. No game has met and by far surpassed my expectations like God of War did. That's why I HIGHLY recommend this series to everyone, give it a chance. Trust me you won't regret it. You have the word of a loyal fan.

    P. S. Short Story on how I became a loyal and did hard fan of the series. I took the same path as I have mentioned above. I watched the recap video than Played 2018 and my god I LOVED IT. I got soo hooked to the series that I played the first 1-3 God of War games myself by buying Playstation Plus premium with free trial for 7 days and finishing all thoes titles in just 4 days. After that I played God of War 2018 again for the second time and finished the main story from start to finish in just 2 days to be all ready and prepared for Ragnarok. I am so glad that I caught up on the previous games. This game and journey will forever be very close and special to me.

    Thank you for reading 😊

    it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details

    What Homelander has said? "It was perfect... Perfect. Everything. Down to the bone." I love this video game. I am a huge God of War fan and I love PlayStation video games. Uncharted, Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank, Twisted Metal, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, Stray, Little Big Planet, Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, etc. I can keep going. I love everything about this game, the story, acting, characters, cinematography, controls, and music. My god, this video game is perfect. God of War deserves the Game of the Year. I love both T. C Carson and Christopher Judge as Kratos, they are the best, at what they do. I love this game and this game really does deserve to be Game of the Year. 10/10. God of War never lets me down. PlayStation/Sony, you done it again folks. That's why you guys are the best. More games like these Playstation. More like these. 10/10.

      In a cut scene, after bringing Tyr to his senses, Atreus tries to give him a spear, which Tyr rejects. He leans the spear against a wall. When the game is given control back to the player, if you turn to look at the spear, it is gone.
