"Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me, and you will find every reason to keep living in it."
When I opened my heart to God of War Ragnarök, I was enthralled by a thematically rich, character-driven story. For as satisfying and versatile as the combat was, I often found myself content to look out over a beautiful landscape, putting the controller down and letting the serene environments and magnificent score sweep me through the valleys of Norse Mythology. The climatic boss fights, air-tight pacing, meaningful side-objectives, and distinct, layered side characters shredded any issues I had with the 2018 game into non-existence. God of War 5 is a profound achievement, taking the medium of Video Game to its bleeding edge and providing a meticulously-woven, epic, fun, beautiful, and unforgettable experience.
"To grieve deeply is to have loved fully." I love this game. I've had experiences with this franchise spanning back nearly twenty years, and I'm sad to see it go, but I think this is time. I can't see the majesty of this game ever being succeeded by any other God of War game, and I believe it is time to move on.
I cannot recommend enough, open your heart to this game and live in its world for a time, and you'll find some of the best the medium of video games has to offer.
