I gave this game a second chance on PC @ 4k, 60fps, and i can confirm that coming from God of war (2018), this game was a massive disappointment.
It failed massively in terms of writing, character development, and gameplay. When God of war 1 and 2 came out, God of war 3 was icing on the cake. It was a visual spectacle and you would feel that you are going on a war against Olympus, the mighty olympus, the mighty zeus and the might gods.
Creative decisions to shift away from the lore and making Asgard a village, and portray Odin and Norse gods as humans too was a massive fail.
The new charging of frost in combat, would break the flow of combat, where as the combat of god of war (2018) had better flow even though it feels more heavier in god of war Ragnarok.
The art direction of this game was also very disappointing. Even though they were the same realms as the game before GOWR art direction did not feel the same as GOW1.
