NME gave God of War Ragnarok four stars out of five in our review, and found plenty to praise with the game’s combat.
“Combat is compulsive because there’s a real heft to fighting in God of War Ragnarok’s scrapping,” reads our review. “Kratos hurls himself around with ferocity, but there’s still a weight to every swing of the Leviathan Axe, and you feel a slight resistance as he cuts loose with his signature Blades of Chaos.”
We also enjoyed the game’s “stunning visuals” across each realm, but felt Ragnarok didn’t do enough to build upon the 2018 reboot’s success.
“Shifting the focus onto Atreus’ story feels like a smart move and the universe painted here is as beautiful narratively as it is graphically, but some players may feel like they have ridden this ride before,” found our review.
In other gaming news, EA has confirmed that it will “stop further development” of the Project Cars series.
