There's too many good things to say about this game. For me this definitively wins game of the year over the great Elden Ring. Although gameplay is just built upon 2018 is still feels fresh and has the players always on his toes. Opposed to the 2018 game, this one has plenty of enemy variety. Where this game really sets itself apart is story and characters. I now think of kratos at a top 10 character in fiction. The story is great and connects everything in a way for the most impactful ending for kratos. He finally becomes a loved god and has healthy relationships around him. Even though I wanted to absolutely tear apart Odin and Thor, the way the game went made the story much better. And I still got to choke Heimdall to death. My one complaint would be that ragnarok should've contained multiple levels and Thor's final fights should've been bigger in scale, maybe even having them fight on Jormandgandrs back. The soundtrack ramps up the epicness of Ragnarok though and even Hozier makes a song for this soundtrack. Bear did an amazing job with it. Cory and Eric did an amazing job with this game and deserves a lot more recognition than it will ever get due to it being a PlayStation exclusive and people being addicted to cod and nothing else. I live the twist in this game although I saw it coming and had since watching a YouTube theory on it back in 2018. Can't believe it guessed it. Hurst is amazing as Thor and I prefer this to mcu even. I enjoyed that they went all out with the 2 realms we hadn't visited yet. The Thor revive screen was fun and creative. The spear was a great weapon and added new thoughts to a players combat. So many touching scenes, fun fights, lores, discoverable areas, great visuals, and great dialogue make this game. Kratos and Atreus connection is amazing, mimir is a great brother, freya compliments Kratos, Odin is a business dictator and Thor his hammer. I'm going to have to think whether this is the best game ever made, but it is definitely worthy of being in the conversation.
