God of War Ragnarok will be released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on November 9th.
NME reporter Jake Tucker gave his review of God of War Ragnarok four stars, stating: “‘God of War Ragnarok’ is a good job, but there are no particular surprises. It was a wise decision to change the main axis to the story of Atreus, and the worldview drawn in the game is story and graphics. It’s beautiful, but some players may feel a sense of déjà vu about what the game is about.”
