It’s very telling that some of y’all are using graphics to drag this game 

Literally that's the only drag

I finished Ragnorok last week and it's a 7/10 in the first half and a 9/10 in the second (I prefer it overall to the 2018 game due to enemy and realm design variety, its gorgeous). It really does show the homogenization of PS exclusives though  , The Last of God of War Part II. A lot of emphasis on graphics fidelity, Kratos polycount, and a cinematic story baked with prehistoric game design/mechanics (TLOU2 excels in every area though, that masterpiece can't relate and was an unforgettable exp, innovative everywhere). Nothing truly stellar when it comes to the gameplay in this series. I find it overrated compared to the other PS games, but it's decent for being a jack of all trades? I love a cute Marvel-feel blockbuster moment though and it is polished performance-wise. 

 

flaws on the top of my head, some nitpick

-the hand holding puzzles spoiled by Atreus or Mimir in 5 seconds, the sigil arrow ones are absolutely atrocious just for the sake of something new

-ironwood serving GoT finale length, fetch quests, and the backseat gaming, the pacing is kind of worse than its predecessor and drags a bit 

-the amount of crevice shimmying to get to the next level, and its not even for loading so THAT was a choice 

-the stale 2010 Uncharted wall climbing, invisible barriers that break true open world immersion

-chests bloat don't feel rewarding when they're spammed all over the place

-press/spam O to watch the action mid boss fight and the boss fights aren't memorable to me

-combat is no better than what Dark Souls was serving 15 years ago, especially with the bad camera controls

Yes Malenia yes GOTY 

[nathanspears]

I mean it was fine 

 

I don't understand why the gaming community HATES on the modern AC games because of how repetitive they are but got wet over Elden Ring which is just as repetitive

[MonsterTown]

my friend did stream me that game, was so boring, 

[Comedor]

Congrats.
 

GOW continues to be overshadowed entry after entry. A cute b-side franchise. 

[Phaunzie]

I am gonna say it. Poor Horizon however thank god GoW didn't sweep up all of the awards, like sharing is caring. Like let Elden Ring get the award it rightfully deserves.

[Chasing Comet]

The correct winner

You spilled. God of War is literally better as a movie, so how can it be game of the year? 

[Cloudy]

Deserved, but also GOW deserved too. Shame both couldn't be winners, if you think about it they are very similar games so it's difficult to choose (not saying similar as in form but in nature, both very fantasy, action adventure combat type of game so if you love one you probably would love the other was well)

[Marla Singer]

Deserved. It's not a perfect game and does have it's flaws, so it's also right that it didn't sweep all categories. But for the overall immersive gaming experience unmatched by any other open world game post-BOTW, it deserved the big award.

 

I'm playing Forbidden West right now and it definitely got done dirty with the release schedule, it's a great game too. Hopefully Aloy will get her flowers with a future game.

[OhMyAlf]

Did not understand the hype of this one in the slightest personally, but I guess I can appreciate the game for what it was. GOW deserved of course though

[Arcadius]

Them giving Ragnarök all the technical awards just so they could give Elden Ring GOTY. A Grammy tea.

It means they don’t have skill set required to play such games

Animal Crossing doesn’t need a stupid award to be GOTG. 

 

These stupid year end award shows are meant for overhyped high budget million marketing single player games. If you don’t meet the criteria you are out.

[TaggedGalaxy]

Undeserved.

 

Horizon FW deserved

Are you 5? It looks better than most ps4/Xbox one games. I want whatever you're smoking. Not surprising tho since terrible takes have been your forte. 

I want whatever the devs were smoking before they launched a game that looks like this in 2022.   
 

A Cyberpunk level mess, but it was overlooked because all the snot wiping fan-boys of the Dark Souls franchise hyped this mess up.  

 

The graphics were sh*t

The mechanics were sh*t

The unadjustable difficulty level was sh*t

And your taste is sh*t.

[UnusualBoy]

Didn't get to play it but the visuals alone warranted.

[MAXIMO]

GOW people really thought they were gonna sweep. 

I will be waiting for BAFTA for more interesting noms and wins.
