God of War Ragnarok proved me wrong, in every way imaginable. I was very sceptical going into this game, as the first game never really appealed to me. But BOY was I wrong.
This game is nothing but a SERIOUS masterpiece. Never did I imagine finding myself emotional at a game where Kratos is in it. The combat is super enjoyable, I love how every mission has you go through almost different Realms every time so you're not doing the same thing over and over at times like in the first game. And of course, the story. The characters, the passion behind Kratos's character arc in becoming a better father for Atreus and of course finding out more about Atreus's story, in which I found at times to be some of the best moments in the game. It was very peaceful exploring different realms, and the odd fight in between just to remind you you're never truly safe. The environments were magical at times and really made it worth exploring and finding more loot as you go.
They really did use the foundations of what was an incredible first game, and turned it into one of the greatest games of all time. It is definitely one of my favourite games I've ever played not just because it was super enjoyable to play, but also super enjoyable to immerse myself in this really perfectly crafted world. Some of the best 20 hours I've spent in a video game and I recommend it to everyone as it sets the tone very quickly and gets your immersed from the first couple of minutes of gameplay.
10/10 EASILY.
