5/5 ★ – maiisiie_w's review of God of War: Ragnarök.

literally one of the BEST games i have ever played. gow2018 was a taster compared to this game. kratos and at atreus's relationship develops so much more, many conflicts that result in reconciliation, as atreus grows up, with his own ambitions and desire for independence. during this game, many other side characters you don't consider too much about before become more crucial to the plot line. the emotional depth of this game is even more impactful, and the antagonists are SO interesting, and i found a way to feel bad for most of them (most being all except for odin ofc). every character is so beautifully written and has their own troubles and mistakes. this is also such a visually pleasing game, for example the side quest in alfheim where you free the hafgufa and see them in the sky was sooo beautiful. gameplay this time felt smoother than the last, and i am in LOVE with the addition of the draupnir spear. all three weapons are so incredible, each feature about them is so detailed and fun to play with. one thing i would criticise is the odin fight. i do wish it was more epic, such as the scale, but honestly it's fine as it is. but this is literally my favouriteeee game ever i love it so muchhhhhh!!
