God of War Ragnarök: When Modern Games Nail the Formula
God of War Ragnarök proves that big-budget games can still deliver meaningful experiences. A modern classic.
Not all great gaming experiences are retro. God of War Ragnarök shows that modern games can achieve the same emotional impact as the classics we grew up with.
A Story Worth Telling
The relationship between Kratos and Atreus is the heart of this game. Watching Kratos learn to be a father while dealing with his violent past creates genuine emotional moments.
Combat That Respects Your Time
The combat is challenging but fair. Every enemy type requires different strategies, and the skill ceiling is high without being punishing. It respects both your time and skill.
Why It Matters
In an industry often criticized for empty open worlds and microtransactions, God of War Ragnarök delivers a complete, polished experience. No DLC, no battle passes—just a great game.
If you have a PS5, this is essential. It proves that modern gaming can be just as magical as the games we remember from childhood.
