4/5 ★ – DanteSnowcone's review of God of War: Ragnarök - Valhalla.

This was a lot of fun, but I’m a little surprised at how repetitive it was even at such a short run time. Repetitive fights is a common complaint about GoW 2018 and Ragnarök, so I guess it’s even more obvious when there’s less filler between encounters. I probably would have found it more frustrating if I came straight from the base game, but I finished that over a year ago so it was a welcome return to the Nine Realms. I played on the default difficulty, which may have been a mistake because it went by so quickly, but I appreciated how quickly you can level up that way. Perks system seemed well-balanced, and burdens were a useful challenge. Boss fights were all very engaging and mostly fluid. Top-quality design, as always, but I think this experience is worth a higher difficulty. The story was a good, hard look at Kratos and his past, even more so than usual. I don’t wanna spoil anything, but I really enjoyed the angle it took. As a free add-on, it’s great! If you finished Ragnarok and just want more, this is worth your time. Time Played: 5 hours
