God of War Ragnarok Review 

We need more games like this. No micro transactions, no lootboxes, complete on release, great writing. Lets hope this game compels others to follow

If only every game company treated their projects with love and dedication

These developers should be filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment

No Micro Transactions, No Season Pass, No Skins To Buy, Nothing. Just Pure, Raw And an Emotional Single Player Story Experience. This Truly Makes Me Feel Like A Kid Waiting For Christmas! Santa Monica Devs Are Truly One Of A Kind. They Create Magic.

Imagine creating a sequel to a game that is heralded as a masterpiece, and surpassing that 💪🏽

It's impressive that the developers managed to not only meet but surpass the expectations of their fans

literal chills

Already 40 hours in, doing every side quest is worth it every chest is worth it, this game is a masterpiece

“Death can have me, when it earns me.” Somewhere Death felt it’s spine shivering.

Crazy how theres not a single bad game in the series.

It’s a shame this has to compete with Elden Ring for GOTY. Both of them are masterpieces in their own right and deserve to stand alone as such.

This review deserves so much respect. No spoilers, and perfectly written and recorded in a way that did not give away anything about the story or gameplay. Great work!

15 minutes of pure positivity. This is what everyone expected.

Wait... You can release the review 6 days early?! That's how you know the developer is 100% confident in the project

This needsto be the best selling game, to support the devs that actually release a complete and incredible story the day it comes out

We need more story driven games like this.

This gotta be a first. That the original and sequel both get 10/10

This is why a great 30+ hour experience is better than a grindy 100 hour one

A masterpiece let’s face it we all expected no less 😂😂👍🔥

Simply a masterpiece and no other game like it!

This is just a lazy, more of the same, sequel. Underwhelming.

Wether you started playing during the Norse saga or before, GOW never ceases to awe fans

This is the reason we love Santa Monica! Never fails to deliver! Caring and giving love into the games they make! Thumbs up for the Dev team 👏👍

It's 5 times bigger and better than the last game. If you don't buy, or don't like this game. Then you are the problem.

Kratos can’t stop getting launched through his house lol

And game of the year goes to………. Elden Ringggggg

absolutely incredible game

The more time they took to polish the game and here are the results. Hardwork pays off. Huge shoutout to the devs for this masterpiece. Been a fan of this studio and they know what their fans want. This game deserves to be the GOTY. I'm awestruck with the game mechanics and scenic beauty and well written story. Wish other games could also be like this.

Great review! GOTY 2022! What's the song used by the way towards the end? is it from the game?

Seen some game plays. This is nothing but the same 2018 game again with shitty combat. Red dead redemption 2 was miles better and elden ring is million times better than this game but sadly elden ring will get robbed again

Can't believe this is coming next week, feels like a dream

We all knew it was gonna be a Masterpiece 🔥💯❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

In a game so heavily relying on that first impression feeling, IGN has absolutely crushed this review by just giving us enough to form a buy or not opinion whilst not ruining anything. Thank you!

Almost perfect scores across the board for both the Original reboot and it’s sequel… Kudos to the Santa Monica team. Amazing work.. can’t wait to play it.

It just seems like this is one of the few franchises that take great care and patience in making its game. It's all in the details. Can't wait

Damn. This makes me want to replay the 2018 game. This sounds like it might be one of the greatest games ever.

Whether Elden Ring or this wins GOTY, they are both undeniably absolute masterpieces and should be an example to the rest of the industry. The bar for quality has been raised and BOY has it been raised high

Ragnarok is a solid game but definitely not a 10. There are some serious issues with the main storyline. IGN stays corrupted.

Another masterpiece, can’t wait to play this next week.

This is why everyone will continue to buy a PlayStation regardless of what the competitors do. No one else is bringing out games even close to this quality. Just ridiculous 🔥🔥🔥

you know the review is heavily biased when they have nothing at all negative to say about the game.

This comment section is always dumb. When Ign give a 10/10 score, you people praise Ign "omg, 10/10, ign reviews the game so well. You should hire this guy more". But when some dude give it 5 or 6, you guys always said ign is the terrble reviewer. This is so hippocrite.

Straight up worth a pre order

This is one of those games that you just buy. No regrets, no reviews. just buy coz' you know its already an EPIC game.

Another Playstation masterpiece. Best publisher in the industry.

Loved every minute of this game

When his gameplay review mentioned grappling and similarities to doom killboxes it put a smile on my face. I’m going to enjoy this

"Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate." What a great quote!

Dude gave a review on a game that he “hasn’t scratched the surface on” ign is a joke

This looks absolutely phenomenal!!! We've come a long way in gaming, and this title seems like the ultimate pinnacle benchmark in game play mechanics, character development , and story telling. Kudos to Santa Monica Studios.

The hype,the interest,the fan base,the dedication from developers everything was on point,So no surprise of this being a Absolute Masterpiece❤.

The music combined with gameplay, Goosebumps man, literal goosebumps. Just from hearing the overwhelming gameplay review.

What a year for the PlayStation. Thank you Santa Monica Studios and Sony for continuing to deliver such masterpiece!

It is overwhelmingly amazing, the game told the story without making it so linear or "spoon-feeding" the right amount of immersive combat, drama, and puzzles is absolutely blew my head off the roof, expectation met and exceeded. A million out of 10 amazing, well done Santa Monica the 4 years really is worth it

the game may be a 10/10, but so was that script! Bravo Simon Cardy, beautifully written

From PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 5, From Calliope and Lysandra to Atreus and Faye, From Greece to Norse, From Jaffe to Barlog to Williams. Kratos has come far and now he will become the hero he was destined to be. This game is beyond masterpiece.

Why is 80% of positive reviews fake accounts 🤣

This is probably one of the best reviews that I’ve even seen by IGN we NEED more of this that builds anticipation for games.

Glad to see it lived up to the expectations. Santa Monica never disappoints!

They need to stop giving these games 10s that are not tens. This is not a ten. Tbh it’s really a 7-8.

When Atreus says " It's time to Ragna- ROCK!!!", chills literal chills

Ah yes, the best part about this game is surely the puzzles… They are the best part because the game literally tells you how to solve them if you can’t figure it out in 30 seconds!

xbots crying

'Spoiler free' proceeds to give spoilers

Thor vs Odin already enough making this game 10/10

Elden ring is better

Is it only me that sees spoilers in the review?

10/10 The game makes you feel like you’re a calm and a reasonable person!

we all have come a long way, lets give kratos the best ending he deserves the one he desires , as this is the last game in the norse saga.

People saying this goty even though no1 in the comments has even played it

The best game I’ve ever played

Although a 10 for this game is the only logical option considering everything, however this review felt like a sales pitch rather than a review.

FINALLY A GAME THAT LIVES UP TO THE HYPE

It a 10 no surprise you can leave now 😂

I’m sorry but this game does not deserve a 10. It’s basically dlc from GoW 2018.

Sad you can't visit asgard after the main story

This review should have a spoiler warning in my opinion. You guys should not have shown oden and some other stuff.

So Kratos obviously survives the game if you can do end game content after the story.

A TRUE GAME for sure, can't wait to play one of the best sequels..

As expected, huge love to Santa Monica, their games are a part of my life, and they will always be my favorite among many others, but GOW has a special place in my heart

Totally over hyped game

ur overhyping the game saying it greatest game of all time.. we know the fact that its not

The backseating by NPCs isn't a very rare annoyance....it's a very frequent annoyance

Just ordered a ps5 with Ragnarok. And preordered the Spider man 2.

The game will suffer from the same flaws that forbidden west did...it is literally the same game as the 2018 game with a few small extra features. The only reason it's getting 10/10 is because of the lack of quality games in 2022 anything half decent that comes out is seen as a masterpiece. 2022 was one of the worst years ever for gaming. There was about 3 games that came out all year that were worth playing.

When a studio of devs actually put in their passion to create a game. Money comes second, passion comes first. Games from these types of devs always come out amazing.

Please give us more cloak-like armour types for Kratos he looks so badass in that outfit

There is something so special and satisfying in this game series. It's kinda like you're rewriting the mythology but in a fun way.

Santa Monica really out did themselves, expanding the world of the previous installment and bringing new life into it ,with much grander designs and beautiful gameplay,lively characters and beautiful directing,it's no doubt that this game is quite simply a masterpiece 👌 🤧🥵

I'm glad the father and son relationship is still the centrality of the story

Two back to back games with a 10/10 review this saga is hands down the best...

Playstation takes thier first party stuff to the next level. Dropping Ragnarok and forbidden West in one year is an insane undertaking, and having them both be so massive and detailed. It's insane, they keep the bar so high, noone puts out quality like this, at this pace.

90% ingame cinematics, and 9.5% QTE's.. is this even a game? Looks like the typical linear experience with hollow open world elements we've seen in games since 2003. How can you possibly award a 10 for that?

Always Knew this was gonna be a banger. Sony and Santa Monica never disappoints 💯

Holy their comparing it to godfather 2, knew it would be masterpiece

What a legendary moment in gaming history 10/10

Looks just like the first game just a different scenery

Wish this review didn’t show so many clips of cutscenes that have never been shown before.

Whether Elden Ring or this wins GOTY, they are both undeniably absolute masterpieces and should be an example to the rest of the industry. The bar for quality has been raised and BOY has it been raised high

Excited to give this game a swing... In several years when it comes to PC.
