The story was inconsistent and the saving grace were only a few good emotional moments like the last mural.

In God of War 2018. The land literally broke fighting Baldur. Jumping down to drop on a dragon was insane and Godlike.

Falling down to the bridge bracing it with your shield was insane and the immediate follow up to see the dragon crash near the Travel area was down right gorgeous.

Then there’s beautifully subtle moments of God like powers where Kratos moved a bridge and Atreus funnily asking if his back was okay haha.

The Tyr Temple flipping, there was soooo much contrast there, that was so amazing.

The final battle with Baldur. Jormangandr attacking the dead giant. The beautiful ending choreography.

Just. Wow.

In this game what do we get? A lazy Surtr. A useless Fenrir. An illogical Odin (knows Heimdall is targetted since he was pretending to be Tyr, didn’t do anything to get the Gallahorn) A poorly planned last fight with Thor, it was just an arena, it really was boring. The whole ragnarok event was an absolute waste and we don’t even find out who blew the horn.

God of War mixes spectacle with awesome storytelling. 2018 God of War mixes beautiful storytelling with maaaasterful display of spectacle. I really don’t know why this one was such a mess storywise… it felt like it was trying to be a Disney movie too much at certain points. Especially with Characters making stupid quips.

We get a diluted version of that amazing 2018 story in Ragnarok. Super super disappointing.
