God of War Ragnarok is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game was released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on November 9, 2022. It is the ninth entry in the God of War series and the sequel to the 2018 game. Themed with Norse mythology and set in ancient Scandinavia, the game tells the story of Kratos and his teenage son Atreus as they face the prophesied events of Ragnarok.

Gameplay is similar to the 2018 game, with combo-based combat, puzzles, and role-playing elements. Kratos wields a magical battle ax and double-chained blades, as well as a versatile shield and magical spear. Atreus and other characters assist in combat, and players can control Atreus in some story missions. The game contains more enemy types and mini-bosses than its predecessor.

It was originally scheduled for release in 2021, but was delayed due to actor Christopher Judge’s health issues and the COVID-19 pandemic. The free downloadable content pack called “Valhalla” is the epilogue to Ragnarok and will be released on December 12, 2023.

Ragnarok was critically acclaimed for its storytelling, characters, visuals, and gameplay improvements. The game sold 5.1 million copies in its first week, making it the fastest first-party launch week in PlayStation history, with more than 15 million copies sold as of November 2023. The game won several awards, including Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards and won the 26th DICE Award for Best Adventure Game of the Year.

God of War Ragnarok gameplay

Ragnarök offers a third-person action-adventure experience via a player-controlled over-the-shoulder camera, providing a seamless gameplay experience without camera switches or loading screens. Players control Kratos and engage in combo battles with enemies in Norse mythology. They encounter various types of enemies, such as heroic warriors, wyverns, stalkers, phantoms, etc., including mini-bosses that increase diversity.

Kratos wields the magical Leviathan Ax, which freezes enemies and triggers explosive attacks, as well as the fiery Blade of Chaos, which now features a grappling hook mechanic. A new weapon, the Draupnir Spear, is infused with wind magic and allows for both close and ranged attacks. Upgradeable weapons include runes for magical attacks, providing diverse play styles.

The improved shield offers versatility with different types of offensive or defensive strategies. Kratos’ Spartan Rage ability introduces three variants: Fury for unarmed attacks, Courage for health regeneration and parrying, and Fury for powerful weapon attacks. Kratos’ son Atreus helps fight, travel and solve puzzles with improved artificial intelligence and expanded abilities.

Players can also control Atreus during certain story missions. The game retains RPG elements, including crafting, armor upgrades, and over 70 assist options. The DLC pack “Valhalla” introduces roguelite elements, including procedurally generated levels, challenging trials, and new enemies, providing a unique gameplay experience outside of the main story.
