Kratos and Atreus’ latest adventure also had a solid debut in Japan, while in the UK, launch week sales beat those of Elden Ring and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. review of the title in question we assigned a score of 9.3, stating that: “God of War Ragnarok amazes right away and it is strange how he is able to do it even if, fundamentally, one can expect what one is getting into, at least from the point of view of the rustic and playful structure. Perhaps, however, it is precisely that emotional involvement and that drive towards the previously mentioned humanization, which is immediately felt, that makes the difference”.
