God of War Ragnarok (PS4, PS5) is a big game with lots of story elements to dissect. Let’s talk about the story, the ending, who …

Narratively, this game is juggling so much (and it does so phenomenally).
When Kratos visits the Norns, they tell him that Kratos of SPARTA will die, and they weren't wrong! The spartan in Kratos died during his speech about opening his heart to the world. Sparing the people in midgard was such a crucial point in the story.
I was hoping to learn more about how Faye died.
Was she sick? Did she die in battle? What happened??
Unless the answer was in some lore I missed I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get a deeper dive into HER story…
Why Odin disguised as Tyr explained everyone about the Mask? Thru himself under the Bus?
Ok I need someone to tell me how Kratos is a 1 note character ether game reviewers are dumb as ass or forget what happened in this OG series because god forbid we remember anything that’s from 10-15 years ago
PS
you can play the OG series on your PS5
And the story of raganork sucks compared to the OG story telling
I know this is an old video but I just played the game at long last
I kinda understand what they tried to do with the ending and that point in which Kratos decides to "be better" right after killing all those midgardians but the ending indeed felt a bit soft and small after so much anticipation for the big RAGNAROK, it wasn't bad but I would have liked a bigger more epic and harsh battle against Thor maybe involving Jörmundgander, they played with the way Baldur dies in the myths having somehow Loki still set it up with mistletoe so I was expecting something like that with Thor and the Snake and even more so with Odin and Fenrir, I still can't believe they didn't use that badass giant Fenrir to chew him up at the end maybe saving Atreus. Maybe the thing that bothered me the most about the ending was Sindri and how out of character he was since Brok's death, I mean ofc grief changes people, but we have Freya whose son was killed by Kratos himself and somehow she is friends with him again, and then we have Sindri… our old friend and somewhat of a comic relief for the old game placing all the blame on Atreus, a young man, when Odin was the one who did it all and fooled all of them, idk it felt worng and there wasn't any closure to that part either, maybe they'll have him as an antagonist later on? Maybe not but I still don't like how they treated him
In shor Thor fight too small, Sindri's actions out of character
I still think the game is almost perfect but the ending wasn't what I was expecting
I just finished the game yesterday and I also was thinking the ending was soft. It wasn't bad, but also not as impactful as it could have been. This was Ragnarok but it didn't feel epic at all. It was just a level like most other levels in the game with Ragnarok happening in the background or off in the distance somewhere. It didn't feel like I was part of it.
Also, for someone who was presented as preparing for this for thousands of years Odin did was most anyone would do in the situation. I was expecting him to have a clever ace up his sleeve but he didn't at all which was disappointing. Still an excellent game though overall.
My Favorite moment of ragnarok was when everyone was calling kratos general before they went to Asgard. That alone was having my boy rage before but he just embraced it. Oh and when that guy tackled that dragon from freyr ‘s boat! I was like 😮
Probably too late to share an opinion, but i would like to say a words on Odin.
I thought Odin, in my guess, was Loki. Even tho some of part the lore may create plot hole and i might not knows Norse Mythology very much, but i thought having actual Loki destroyed his own universe would make sense than the Dev version that leave some unanswered question, especially the prophecy that Kratos and Atreus seen were actually a different world before they see their own future path.
Unlike Kratos who also destroyed his world and try to live normal life even tho he want to die originally, Loki just continue his madness to gain knowledge to find whatever in that small greenlight that required for the mask, willingly came to another Norse world, to do far worse non-stop til his fate sealed when he step in another Norse world but in GoW universe where his demise finally come, a very good twist, but in my own guessed.
Idk if they going to make 3rd game or not aside remake the classics, i really hope that some unanswered question in this game can be explain for final times.
After being a major fan of the series for almost two decades that ending scene made me tear up so much. It gave the ending Kratos deserved after going through the whole original saga and finally fixing his wrongs and being worthy of being important to people in a positive light.
The ending definitely encase that you can always be better and one day you can a better than you were. You just need to open your heart to emotion to learn those things
I really took my time playing this game. Maybe you forgot, but Kratos had a wife & daughter in the first game.
I'd be so down to play as a super dark and edgy Loki fully tatted with piercings, a single player adventure with stealth and the Nemesis system. Maybe we can can Sindri one last time? And even get to play as Angrboða 😭 Jkjk, but I just finished the game now with 100% completion. Ending was great to me, as I fought Odin I thought this could have been a lot more intense but the entire journey itself made up for it.
It was suburb drama in the dialogue and I would’ve rather had it more gritty.
I loved Odin. Such a great villain.
I think the final mural for kratos should be viewed through the lens of fayes love for him as she made the mural. She saw in him what no one else did and inspired and lead him to fufill her "prohphecy" just before the war in the camp you can tell hes grown so weary in not understanding his purpose or what fayes plans were and feeling like he cant escape his cycle of vengence and pantheon destruction. I feel like once he sees the mural he kind of breaks down as he feels fayes love and belief in him. She knew he would pull through she had faith in him despite odin telling him no one ever worshiped or admired him, his family always did all along.
I've been waited so long to watch this video. I just finished the game about an hour ago. Man did I love it! I choked up a bit a few times during the game and espesaly in the end. Now that I've played it, it's defiantly more deserving then Elden Ring. Not saying Elden Ring was bad. It wasn't. But GOW Ragnorok was way better them Elden Ring. But that's my opinion.
People are complaining that kratos didnt die, but OLD kratos died in this game. With him opening his heart he completely killed his old self
Since you actually do find Tyr in a prison in Niflheim and they’ve already mentioned that he’s associated with other pantheons they do have the door cracked for adventures into other mythologies. And of course there is a sense of incompleteness specifically with Sindri and his emotional turmoil (catalyst for the next game?)
I LIKE everyone’s personality chiefly Odins. As I play through this game i became more interested In the story because of the personalities and not the boxed in hack and slash.
The only thing I would have added to this game that would have made the finale better is just more Surtr/Ragnarök. There’s only a couple of instances where he does something at the final battle. He was severely under utilized. I would have added another running sequence like when kratos was carrying injured Freyr. Maybe Atreus gets knocked unconscious by a falling boulder and you have to carry him racing back to the Midgard gate, hitting the qte’s to fend off remaining enemies trying to attack you and also maneuvering around Surtr’s rampage. That would have been a nice little final push to the end.
But…Everything else was still chef’s kiss tho. And I personally liked the way Odin was killed. It made perfect sense considering everyone’s character arcs.
I feel like sidri could almost become a villain. Dude went dark.
Loved the Thor's Daughter story line
Nothing about the dwarves and Heimdall?
I was expecting a Logan (2017) esque ending for Kratos but was much more satisfied with what we got.
“Open your heart. It is your nature…I was wrong.”
This SHOOK me.
The worst part about the game is by far the RPG elements and also the fact that you can’t turn off boss checkpoints in the story
I would like a game with Faye. We could know the story but knowing that Kratos and Atreus can't, how in the world did she got a weapon like the Leviathan, the interactions with the dwarves, the fight in the valley against Thor, and, for me the coolest thing: she said that when she met Kratos they wanted to kill each other, so, yeah, an unwinnable fight against the God of War himself.
I REALLY do not think that Kratos' ending is having to see off his son. It's his redemption. That's what the end panel in that last prophecy meant imo.
The story was overly sappy imo. Angerboda section almost made me quit the game. Writers really dropped the ball with ragnarok imo. The gameplay was great. Hated the story
There should have been a final boss fight with Ragnarok. Huge missed opportunity. Ending felt unfulfilling without that. The game is literally called Ragnarok. They have done boss fights of that scale before. I was pretty disappointed.
Absolutely loved it. I did think the end was a little underwhelming considering they said there wasn't gonna be a 3rd game in this specific series but I thought the whole game was great. I have two young sons so there were alot of story moments that hit for me. I have to say though, even leading up to the very end with Odin, I kept thinking something was gonna happen that would explain that horn being blown in 2018 when Kratos was taking Atreus to Freya after he was passed out and hurt. I was also surprised there wasn't more of a story to the mask. Either way I thought it was an amazing game and I loved my 40 hours with it.
Just finished the game. At the start i didn't like Odin's character. I kinda wanted a more intimidating character but towards the latter half of the game i realized why they went in that direction. He grew on me. It was a great choice to not make him intimidating
The ending when Kratos fights through Ragnarok needed to be of much bigger scale, we needed to see a shot of each army going against one another! Where are all the soldiers of the other realms gathered?? I was expecting to see a shot similar to that of Avengers Endgame! Otherwise, brilliant game. What a masterpiece!!
I loved everything up to and including the blowing of Gallajorn. The ragnarok was disappointing. Felt relatively small scale and rushed.
When I compare it to the opening of GOW3 it just didn't measure up.
