One Year Later, God of War Ragnarok Getting a Half-Sequel Feels Like a Must

While it was undoubtedly a difficult task to match the success of God of War 2018, let alone improve upon it, Santa Monica rose to the occasion on November 9, 2022. From a gameplay perspective, depth was added via new realms to explore, another weapon for Kratos called the Draupnir spear, and playable Atreus segments. Entirely optional areas full of intriguing lore like The Crater helped God of War: Ragnarok’s story, while phenomenal performances from actors like Christopher Judge made moments like Kratos’ Death and the Logger story even more poignant. One year later, the game remains incredible, though Ragnarok doesn’t quite feel like the “end of all things.”
