From Games Radar: "The God of War Ragnarok review embargo dropped yesterday, and the game's developers have a lot of feelings about the critical acclaim they've received.
At time of writing, God of War Ragnarok is sitting at a Metacritic(opens in new tab) score of 94. Dozens of perfect scores have helped it to joint-sixth place in this year's rankings behind only three other games. Elden Ring on PS5 and Xbox Series X are in joint first alongside the Portal Companion Collection on Switch, all on 96, while Persona 5 Royal on PC and Xbox Series X follow up on 95. At 94, Ragnarok sits in with the Switch port of Persona 5 Royal, and Elden Ring on PC.
It's an undeniably impressive achievement, and the devs are revelling in it. Writer Aly Samson said she was "so emotional," and that her work on the game "challenged me & helped me grow as a writer & a person." Gameplay animator Euna Park, who has moved on from Sony Santa Monica since working on Ragnarok, simply asked(opens in new tab) "How am I supposed to get any work done today after this?" Senior gameplay programmer Sam Handrick(opens in new tab) noted the amount of time the developers had spent on the game "trying to make something special," but that "you get so close to it that you never truly know if it's everything you wanted it to be until others try it. So to see reviews today - it's really special.""
Game music often lasts longer than the games themselves. Why soundtracks preserve gaming memories even after consoles and platforms fade.
Featuring characters from The Last of Us, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West, and more.
yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.
Sony has finally removed sales restrictions from four major games on Steam, and all of them are compatible with the Steam Deck.
Well deserved. You guys enjoy your moment for a bit - you've certainly earned it.
