“God of War Ragnarök is a masterpiece in all aspects and is a very strong contender for the Game of the Year 2022 title,” says our resident reviewer. “The buildups towards the climax felt like the end of a very long, but satisfyingly attractive, tunnel. It’s definitely one of the games on my list I wish to play again for the first time.”
God of War Ragnarök launches on November 9, 2022 on PS4 and PS5.
