The soft reboot of the God of War franchise from 2018 was always going to be a tough act to follow, but it looks like developers Sony Santa Monica Studios have managed to capture lightning in a bottle once more with God of War Ragnarok.
The review embargo for the game has lifted, and critics who are lucky enough to have played through the game ahead of its release seem to have nothing but high praise for Kratos and Atreus’ latest outing. Elden Ring may have kicked the year off with a bang, but it looks like the return of the Ghost of Sparta and his boy will make for stiff competition as a Game of the Year contender.
