This will be a God of War 2018 full retrospective and review, as well as a God of War Ragnarok retrospective over 6 years later for both. The new Norse Saga of God of War games have been a departure from the Greece Saga from its gameplay, levels, story, and direction for Kratos. There is much debate wither Sony Santa Monica made the new God of War games better than the original ones. Today, we will review and analyze both GOW 2018 and Ragnarok.

I just replayed the entire series in chronological order it is my favorite series in all of gaming there is really not a bad God of War game imo.
Even the side games?
Yes ser chains of olympus and ghost of sparta the only one I didn't play was Betrayal which was a mobile game back in the day.
@@oukeith nice!
top favourite GoW games? Mine is GoW2
@@lightmohamed5700 GOW 3 is the GOAT imo.
@@oukeith understandable
To explain the thing about Fate and the Norns is this, The Norns cannot foresee all things to ever happen. All the Norns can do is see what choices people make or have made and then make a creepy accurate prediction that mostly comes true. The moment in which they changed destiny is when Kratos told his son that “He was wrong. Open your heart to their suffering.” That moment is what defied destiny which is your choices. Fate however is something different. Fate in this series is more accurately defined as the events which happen. For example in the 2005 game, the Oracle tells Kratos that the god of war will bring the destruction of Olympus. This was true as Kratos killed Ares and became the god of war, the same god of war that would bring the death of Olympus. They even talk about it after seeing the Norns where kratos talks about many prophecies coming true as people tried to advert fate, only to make said fate occur. I know it’s very difficult to understand, basically Destiny = Your choices, and Fate = Events.
Really like that you’ve been branching away from the COD franchise with these recent video essays. Keep it up man!
Personally i found GoW 2018 to take a few hours to get into the story while with ragnarok i was hooked from the start
GIW 1-3 ARE BETTER
Yea I’m playing it for the first time right now and once I got to alfheim it started to kick in
Well that makes sense because they have to set up the world, new characters, and story from scratch in the first one. Ragnarok, like any sequel, benefits from being able to pick up where the first game left off and immediately jump back into a narrative we're already invested in.
I definitely agree with your review, I am playing through GoW 2018 rn and i have seen the same problems especially with the non combat gameplay, but the puzzles are very fun. Also you should play mass effect next, that is one of the best games ever made.
the thing that GOW (2018) did really good job is the combat especially with the fist build, idk why they got rid of that in ragnarok...
fr, light fist was so good
I prefer the spear, not only because of the clear reference to Ghost of Sparta, but I also miss some attacks with the shield, especially one where I think you had to hold down R2 and it made like a shock wave by hitting the shield with your fist.
Fist was good
Camera and difficulty pacing hold back the experience quite a bit
@martinc8965 I love the spear as well, but the fist combat provided movement and combo connection that it makes alot of people who delved I to the combo side of gow2018 really miss it. I wish we could change what combat styles we could have in our roster.
@@Cal6942 I understand, I played the game about 15 times but I always preferred weapons over fists, but it is true that they made a very good combination.
I love the video, as I do with all of your video essays, I do disagree with your critique of the random voice lines that recommend you go do side missions in Ragnorak, since due to the story, you feel like you need to just get to the end. It naturally calls the player to take a step back and enjoy the world.
I like the Norse Kratos but I desperately miss the Greek Kratos and that gameplay 😔
I think both ragnarok and 2018 were top tier for the times they were released, 2018 after the abomination that was god of war ascension brought back players back into the series in a way i think even santa monica wouldnt have expected, ragnarok admittedly has its story problems but in terms of combat, giving the main characters satiafying ends and setting up and some amazing villains in thor and odin is only second to gow 2 in terms of ranking the series. These are games which are amazing for different reasons where god of war 2018 is like season 1 of an epic norse show, ragnarok tried to do season 2 and 3 in one and obviously it was never gonna be enough without an rdr 2 level of runtime, but it still did its job of giving a satiafying conclusion and not to mention, the valhalla dlc makes the entire series pop and stand out where the most recent game makes all 7 of them stand out even better
Layered characters with development that you can follow and get behind, graphics that grab your attention with good detail and great showpiece moments, addicting combat with a good build system that gives you a variety of options. I must not understand what i good game is anymore if people are saying all that makes a bad game
(Before watching this video) I will say one thing god of war 2018 did really good at reviving a franchise, but at some parts did feel like it stretched a story that felt like it could take an hour to explain. I love the game and the first god of war game that got me interested in the franchise. I played god of war 3 before but not interested in the story. After this game, it did and it did very good bringing me into Kratos head and what he thinks.
Just stated playing it last week after getting Ragnarok for $30. Idk why I never played it before, I’ve had it from ps+ for awhile and I’ve been sleeping on it. Just got the blades of chaos and went to hel! Game is so good so far
This is a very good and well rounded review. ❤GOW 18 felt like devs were holding back content while GOW ragnarok felt like too much content cramped up together.
Thanks:)
Yes they are.
Video ends.
1st one no
2nd one definitely yes
@@knowingbadger i feel the opposite
opposite for me as well@@knowingbadger
@@knowingbadgerhella naw bro. 2018 is 10000x better than rag
@@dripp_droppstory wise I agree, but the combat and boss fights in ragnarok are vastly superior
I cannot believe it has been 6 years. SIX.
W! Ngl I have been wanting you to do GoW reviews for a while, ever since your Elden ring review!
appreciate you watching!
@@Ch0pper no problem man, got me through studying last night so thank you!
As an Xbox guy who bought a PS5 as not to miss out on any exclusives.
I've now played many Playstation exclusives and enjoyed them.
GT7, The last of us, Death Stranding, Demon Souls are some of my favourites.
However, I found God of war to be one of the most overated games of all time.
Aside of trying to be a movie, I found the combat average, and next to no gameplay outside of combat, and the puzzled tedious at best.
There is xp to be gained through the challenges of doing all the moves a certain amount of times, this let's skilled players level up much faster
As a GOW fan this was a great video
HOW MANY YEARS LATER?
God of war is what’s up!! I left cod forever and this is my favorite game
Real shir mane I’m visually impaired and I’ve been playing games for years mane and o be mad ash cause I still play my ps2 and 3 and shit and be mad cause the people blend in with the map or shit too hard too see I be saying all the time I’m glad games have become easier for us blind people to play
Bro start the video already it has been 10 minutes (great video btw)
Man comments really get to this guy
Why mw3 is complicated video?
NEW GENERATION PLAYERS
they want to be "newgen" to follow the new players from this era
Im glad GOW got rid of platforming in the new ones , might be unpopular but the older I get the less I like platformers lol.
I loved Elden rings combat, build options, weapons variety, world, boss design, etc but I hated the platforming, and there is soooo much of it. I never finished the full game because of it.
I'm a huge gow fan and finished all the original trilogy as they came out and didn't mind platforming then but I'm happy it's not here.
I may be in the minority here too but I enjoy the cinematic nature of a lot of the games nowadays. I feel like GOW balances cinematics and gameplay really well for my taste.
I do agree gameplay is the most important part of a video game, but I feel like the gameplay is top notch, the combat is amazing, that's why I keep replaying the games , the combat.
I do not think this is a perfect game, my biggest issue with Ragnarok is the story itself, the rest of the game I thoroughly enjoyed. It's one of my favorite games I've ever pkayed.
Appreciate your review though, I 100% agree with you about the echo chambers that have formed around certain games where any critique or legitimate criticism is rejected. This isn't good, especially for video games, nothing is perfect and there are always ways to improve and legitimate criticism helps that happen moving forward. If only positive discussion around games is allowed they won't get better they'll probably only get worse.
Anyway thanks for the effort and the video.
Yes, yes it is
Yes, it's a fantastic game
Why yes yes it was
Top Tier RUclips Content. 💯 but stop making videos altogether.. haha
Answer NO
2018 Game of the year, cry about it
@@emmanuelc316 that's less of a testament to how good it is than how bad a year 2018 was for gaming.
@@emmanuelc316 "God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 received eight nominations each, the most in Game Awards history at the time. At the show, Red Dead Redemption 2 tied for the highest-awarded game in the show's history with four wins, and God of War was awarded Game of the Year." Lmao it tied with RDR2 and they gave it to God of war because "reasons". It shafted a much better game lmao.
What is the video with that much dislikes ? Haha
God of war 2018 and ragnorok are NOT true God of War games they were very lackluster cinematic movie games, 2018 wasn’t the worst cause I did enjoy it but compared to the Original trilogy these 2 games don’t hold up at all, the original trilogy are truly Phenomenal games.
İ play all games recently release date order and i hate god of war
What a boring fest
Is jumping THAT DEEP??
Yeah, it’s such a whiny opinion. Like I get missing platforming, and the new guided platforming isn’t incredible, but the platforming in the OG trilogy pissed me off so much. Like are we really going to be nostalgic about the underworld segment of GoW 1? The platforming of the trilogy was basic and kind of sucked at times. We were really there for the combat, scale and story, which the new games handle extremely well, even with their flaws.
Jumping is always better than not jumping.
It feels limiting when you cant do something that you once could.
Jumping is not that deep. The souls games didn’t get one until elden ring and they win goty almost every damn time
You could jump in te old games but you had to run while doing it
Dude. I implore you please before you make a video to just watch one video on the game. Please. Some of the things you say or ask about are explained in the simplest terms
No, as i remember it being trash.
2018 Game of the year, cry about it
Irony coming from a Skyrim fan
GOW is nothing without TC Carson.
When they didn'thire him again, GOW ended for me.
*likes player agency* …. *acknowledges that GOW is about the story and combat* “just really don’t like that this thing that I enjoy isn’t in a form of media or narrative that naturally employs that thing” hmm it’s almost like player agency ISNT the point of GOW so knocking it for not having it is idiotic
It's mid sony movie game slop
2018 Game of the year, cry about it
@@emmanuelc316 and? Am I meant to care
why cant there be movie games? it sold well so theres a market for it
Better than all Bethesda and bugisoft games
It’s combat has a lot of depth, clearly haven’t played it. The story is great
It’s good but overrated
Bro you do not stop yapping, clicking off
Three minutes in and just the defensiveness made me not trust the narrator. I'll go watch something else.
alright cya, wont be missed
Lmao
main character syndrome personified
No one cares. Leave then🤡👍🏾
Cry about it
