Excellent review but one thing i will disagree with is the fact that I think that the combat is similar to the original is a huge plus for me, i mean look at the souls games they all play very similarly but what really brings out the potential of these combat systems are the enemy/boss variety and since in the combat in the original was phenomenal but the problem was the lack of enemy/boss variety to see that this game doubles down on this aspect will hopefully make this combat system one of the best in recent memory.

As promised, I am back here now that I've finished the game. Amazing review Huber, and pretty aligned with my thoughts too - while a great game, it does not merit a flawless 10/10, as it tries to spin many different stories and characters, and leaves lots of open endings and things half resolved. In many ways, it felt like this game's focus was not to tell a story, but mostly to set up future GoW titles (avoiding spoilers here), and I wasn't entirely satisfied with the delivery. With that said, this is surely one of the best games of the year, and the production value and performances are really top tier.

It's so funny how the Allies are some of the harshest critics score wise for the games you think they'll love the most (Zelda BotW for example). I can already hear Huber calling this a tenouttaten on Frame Trap even though he literally gave it a 9. Edit: Also, want to specify that obviously a 9 is an excellent score and it's well justified in this review. It's just that it's below average currently as was their Zelda review back in the day.

"God of War Ragnarok doesn't have the same impact as 2018's dramatic reinvention" Such a weird description to the video.

I don't agree - yes, the set pieces are better and the characters are more entertaining, but I agree, that it dragged on some times, the story wasn't as coherent as in the first one, the exploration and combat system in my opinion overstayed (example: going back for collectibles to almost empty worlds) its welcome just a bit. Its still a fantastic game and definitley up there, but it did lose the novelty aspect with this entry.

Honestly I'm disappointed. GOW 2018 is in my top 5 games of all time and Ragnarok is quite below. The level design is bad while in 2018 it was done with such attention and detail, story was done way better in 2018. In Ragnarok it feels too slow early and rushed in the end. And on top of that the UI is quite bad in Ragnarok, and they gutted/removed the shield/hand to hand combat tree. Also the 360 turn during combat doesn't feel smooth and fast in this one due to pressing 2 controls not one. Also the parry system is done in a bad way in this one cause it doesn't stun lock the enemy like in 2018. Also the enemy spawns and enemy waves are designed poorly in this game while in 2018 felt really natural. Also I would have liked to wield Mjolnir another missed opportunity. Who cares if it doesn't fit in the story. So many things they could have improved in combat and they took a step backwards. GOW 2018 is a clean 9.5/10 for me while this game is a 8.5/10 max

Everything is a 10/10 to Huber except the the things that are actually 10/10. 😂 I don’t really understand the complaint about the blades of chaos not having the same story resonance and importance in this game because we start with them. We played the first game, and the originally trilogy, we know their importance. Was the expectation that the game was going to take away the blades? Because that’s a horrible mechanic. We’ve seen this in games like Metroid. There are some complaints, like this, that seem like a stretch to find more things to pick apart and strengthen the review. It’s not needed.

Based on your review content this sound like a 9/10. It would be suspect if this was a 10/10 after your comments. Which I really don’t have a desire to pay for Ragnorok since I didn’t care for combat in 2018. I will be watching the main story online which all reviews claim to be so great I think GOW 2018 was overrated and I suspect this is as well especially with combat just improved vs a huge leap and some jumping mechanic that is was sorely missed in 2018. I don’t care what others say that 2018 was so great.
