. PhilVillarreal says 'God of War: Ragnarok' is a towering achievement that shows what the PS5 is capable of.
TUCSON, Ariz. —"God of War: Ragnarok" is a gorgeous, heart-rending descent into the elements and emotions that have plagued mankind over the eons. At the same time an icy death march and an exuberant embrace of all that makes life worth living under the most crushing of circumstances, the game is a towering achievement that cuts your legs out from under you again and again, sweeping you along its magnificent path.
SCE Santa Monica strives to outdo its considerable past, and largely nails the task. This is not only the best-looking and smoothest-playing"God of War" game — sprawling with side quests, collectibles and moving character arcs — but also the one with the most to say. With the events of last entry having given way to the coming Fimbulwinter winds, Kratos and Atreus must contend with the hostile elements, the looming threats of man and mortal and the fatalistic gloom that their efforts will be for naught. Thematically, the story blends the Greek irony of the"God of War" past with the cut-throat starkness of Norse fables.
Thematically, the story has matured along with its characters. Now Kratos is well into middle age and dealing with Atreus, a feisty teen son who is increasingly independent and resentful of his father's ways. You face down a breathtaking gallery of imposing goliaths, solve intriguing puzzles and traverse harsh lands that bubble with hidden treasures. The journey, rather than the destination, is the reward here.
