The release of God of War: Ragnarök is not far away and yet the game is already on everyone’s lips. In the run-up, the entire game was spoiled because a dealer in the USA had accidentally sold copies of God of War: Ragnarök prematurely. Sony tried to remove the spoilers as much as possible and then asked for leniency with fans who want to wait until the game’s release on November 9th.
But now there are official test results and specialist reviews from the gaming press for the game, so that interested parties can find out in advance whether God of War Ragnarök is worth playing. To that we can say: Yes, it does. And plenty of it. All the results of the trade press are compiled on the Metacritic website and provided with a final average Metascore as the final final grade.
God of War Ragnarök has been raved about by critics, followed only by Elden Ring
As is well known, God of War Ragnarök is a “Sony title”, which means that for the time being only owners of a Playstation 4 or 5 can exclusively play the game until Sony agrees to port it to the PC as at the beginning of the year with the related God of War from 2018. Accordingly, these are the only test platforms for the critics, with practically everything happening on the PS5 with them.
So far, 117 reviews have been collected, with none scoring less than eight out of ten for God of War Ragnarök. Only eleven critics awarded a total of less than nine out of ten points. There were 40 full points, including well-known websites such as VideoGamesChronicle, IGN, Gamingbolt, Dexerto, Gamerant or our PC Games colleagues.

Only the acclaimed open-world RPG left Elden ring has a higher metascore of 96 points. This should actually convince fans of the series who may still be struggling with a purchase. Here one can confidently speak of a purchase recommendation. So what’s so great about God of War Ragnarok? The colleagues from PC Games know more about this.
In principle, almost everything about the game is praiseworthy. This includes the beautiful and varied game world, the combat system with skills and combos as well as the well-written storyline and characters. Emotional moments and many surprises should also await God of War Ragnarök players. If you like the challenge, you can choose between five levels of difficulty.
Sony’s Santa Monica Studio has also thought of the brain and added puzzles that are well integrated into the environment. Ultimately, according to PC Games, the graphics and background noise are also positive. God of War Ragnarok is an all-round successful action-adventure, implemented with protagonist Kratos in a setting of Nordic mythology.
