God of War (2018) left a huge impact not only the game series, but the video games as a whole. The shift direction of bringing something new to God of War was a risk to take, and successful one at that. Now, we come to the next sequel of the Norse era getting the taste of Ragnarok and how our lovable characters handle their next adventure.
Pros: I love the dynamic of father and son with Kratos and Arteus grow in this game and their relationship. Thor was really a threating matter and was the biggest hype boss fight of the game. We do get to see new realms and characters as we go on and the side quests makes it feels like it's part of the main story. The gameplay had some new elements to them to make the experience newer and fast-paced. There was a lot to unpacked from this game since this is the end of the Norse mythology for the series, setting up for what God of War will be like in the future.
Cons: I really enjoyed the story for God of War: Ragnarok and its long length, but there was something in the story that just dragged on a bit too long and felt a bit unnecessary, which cause it to be boring sometimes. I love the introduction of new characters in this game, and they are very well-acted, but the choice for voice acting was very questionable and I do wish they would tone down the humor and profanity a little bit in this game (the game does drop a lot of F-bombs which I don't mind, but calm it down, but that's just me). Last but not least: the bugs. The last game had some bugs, but it was barely noticeable where in this game you can tell. I sometimes don't mind bugs in video games, but it can take out the experience during good moments.
Overall, It's a brilliant follow-up game with a different experience than the 2018 game. To be honest, this game is Game of the Year worthy but if you asked me which God of War Norse era game I would play, I would pick 2018 over Ragnarok.
