Wrose than GoW 2018

[Naruto]

FYI, I have just completed the game and god it was a nightmare.
The combat is just the same. No its not better. More options don't mean better combat. The foundation of combat is still the same and don't even get me started about that camera.
This game is no longer a primary action game but rather a narrative game. Some said there are more new enemies, much better combat and believing them I didn't spoil this game for myself and boy do I regret that.

In the game's defence it has a nice story but then again I didn't buy this game for the story which by the way including the cut-scenes + the forced walking, boat riding, talking session makes about 60% of the game. Throw the puzzles along with them and now its easy 70%.
You will be fighting for only 30% and for that time well honestly it doesn't matter if there are new bosses or not cause you are bored like crazy. Each fight ends and you are greeted with another torturous cut-scene which you can't skip. well, nothing can be skipped.

The game is linear like crazy. Sorry guys creating a hub area doesn't make a game all so non-linear. The game is linear by its overall design. You will approach things in an order, at least in a broader sense if its not related to main story.

The side quests are still piss poor, personally. Though I did do only a few of those but that took away all my motivation.

Also, there this back and through "Will not go to war" but "will prepare for it". I mean just discuss it one time and be done with it. Stop repeating it again and again and again.


Geez, I kinda hate this game even though the story is good, its not something that I wanted. The game was supposed to be action game primarily.

I disagree with combat I was suprised how much mmore they added to com,combat and changing to play as loki is a nice change of pace. Its still an amazing game 10 out of 10

The combat is overstuffed, even a bit clunky, and story-wise it's basically Rise of Skywalker: A complete and total mess.

if the game is really bad as you said. how are you gonna explain this information?

It's slightly better than 2018, mainly because of the expanded combat options.

[Bankai9212]

Meh its pacing is just as poor in the first game but combat feels better overall.

[Evil Pumpkin]

Just the 2nd game is not in your taste, but it doesn't mean that something is actually wrong with it.
I enjoy Ragnarök much more than the first game, especially the combat.

[Cantrell]

I don't find it better than GOW 2018 either so far.
Having to play Atreus is not really an improvement IMO, and the story and all the cheesy emotional stuff is boring af tbh.
And ffs that Ironwood mission with Angosomething (don't remember her name), how boring that also was...

I am not sure how you or other guys saying that I said the game is bad. I have literally said that this has a nice story but not something I wanted. I wanted more action.

Like there are genre in movies, I don't like romantic movies, I like action adventure movies.
Also, a simple + and - don't represent the whole picture and going by that logic do you agree that GoW as a series is inferior to say Elden ring.

Those are different games and have different audience so please don't throw around these numbers and read what I said.

Hello,
Personally, I don't agree. I always hate the very idea that more options make things better and my go to example is Sekiro.
Another example will be the statement from various God of war players that goes like "GoWR valhalla made me experience various combat mechanics that I didn't got to experiment with in base game". If this argument is true which I certainly think is then there are various red flags about the combat design of the base game.

I won't talk about 10/10 or what not but combat for sure is the weak point of the game.
I mean let's be real, the game is about 25 hours with majority portion being cutscenes, talking, riding, walking, running, solving puzzles etc. There is very little combat.

Also, for the most part its similar to god of war 2018.

Now for playing as Loki, let's be real never even once did I got badass feeling while playing as Loki. Yeah, you might have gotten it but neither me nor my friend had such feeling.
I won't say that its bad but for certain it isn't badass.

I hadn't played the original 3 games and kept hearing how badass it was. How you kill the GODS.

Fast-track to God of war 2018 releasing on PC. I got to play it last year on my pc and well it was ok at best in terms of being so heavy on combat. If you say it had combat as primary focus then please don't lie to yourself, the primary focus is story and I don't even hate that part, I hate the part where people say the primary focus is combat.

Now, couple more year and GoWR comes to PC and again I hear they improved the combat and now there are more enemies which after playing I can agree but only to some extent. You see the game is STILL the story based game primarily, hell they went even heavy on the story.

The new enemies are mostly meh, there are more options to combat but combat itself it not improved. It the same and don't even talk about the camera while combat.
