This is my first, and probably only review of a Video Game despite many played. God of War Ragnarök utilizes a combination of difficult, yet satisfying gameplay with storytelling that accomplishes what few franchises ever get right. Closure for the main character. The ending makes everyone completely satisfied with no chance of you thinking about how cool it would have been otherwise. It is complete satisfaction. The story does have a tendency to rush a few key events, such as deaths of Gods without much buildup, but overall brings the story together quite nicely. The final battle could have used more (such as a lack of Helheim) and it didn’t feel as intense at times as the siege of Olympus in God of War 3, but the character development makes up for the lack of this. furthermore, as previously mentioned, the ending to this game series is perfect and compensated for the lack of some key components to the final battle. I fell in Love with this franchise years ago and although I’m nitpicking a few details, I loved the game and don’t question a 5 star review. GOTY for sure.
