GodofWar Ragnarok has an impressive suite of accessibility options, some of which just make the game better.
There are a lot of reasons to be excited about God of War Ragnarok, which launches on PS4 and PS5 today. The action-adventure sequel is another high-quality first-party game for PlayStation owners, following up 2018’s hit God of War reboot with a bigger experience. Some fans may be eager to see Kratos’ story continue, while others just might be itching to swing the ever-so-satisfying Leviathan Ax again.
Auto Pick Up Whatever you do, I beg you to turn on Auto Pick Up. Accessible from the Gameplay menu, this does exactly what it says on the tin: It allows Kratos to automatically grab items when walking near them. Usually, you’d have to keep tapping a button to grab health, resources, and other items. That can especially be a pain when you’re trying to grab a healing item mid-battle, but can’t quite get in the right spot to grab it.
Puzzle Aim Assist God of War Ragnarok features a lot more puzzles than its predecessor, sometimes to an exhausting degree. Many of those follow the same few rules, like hucking your ax at different objects such as bells or reflective surfaces. That can get a little frustrating when you’re specifically dealing with small or faraway objects. To help account for that, I went into the Gameplay tab and toggle Puzzle Aim assist on. This option essentially snaps to a puzzle target when locking on.
Navigation Assist Navigation Assist is something I tend to turn on anytime a Sony game gives me the option to do so. When this is enabled, you can press the right stick in to have the camera point toward the direction of your current objective. It’s a very standard quality-of-life feature that’ll keep you from getting too lost in some of the game’s larger open areas. You can enable this one from the Gameplay menu.
