Good news: as of today our review of God of War: Ragnarok is officially underway, and Odin willing, you’ll be able to read it here on Thursday, November 3 at 9:00AM PDT / 12:00PM EDT / 4:00PM GMT / 5:00PM CEST. If you’re counting, that’s six days ahead of Ragnarok’s November 9 release date. It’s being tackled by our own Simon Cardy, who you may remember from such reviews as Overwatch 2, Horizon: Forbidden West, and his annual drubbings of FIFA Legendary Edition on Switch.
That’s about all we can say for the moment, but we’ll have some spoiler-free thoughts on the first hours to share this Friday at 6am PT, so check back soon! In the meantime, please weigh in on this crucial question:
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s look back at what we thought of the previous game for a reminder on why we’re so excited to play the new one:
What We Said About God of War (2018)
I expected great action from God of War, and it delivers that handily. But I didn’t expect it to be a thrilling journey in which every aspect of it complements the others to form what is nothing short of a masterpiece. It’s a game in which Kratos, a previously one-note character, becomes a complex father, warrior, and monster, embattled both on the field and within his own heart about how to treat his son; one in which the world opens up and shifts, offering rewards in both gameplay and knowledge of its lore that I treasured with each accomplishment. The obvious care that went into crafting its world, characters, and gameplay delivers by far the most stirring and memorable game in the series. – Jonathon Dornbush, April 12, 2018
