- Thanks to Playstation for a review copy! This review contains minor gameplay spoilers.
From Santa Monica Studio comes the sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018).
Fimbulwinter is well underway. Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as Asgardian forces prepare for a prophesied battle that will end the world. Along the way they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters. The threat of Ragnarok grows ever closer. Kratos and Atreus must choose between their own safety and the safety of the realms.
● A future, unwritten: Atreus seeks knowledge to help him understand the prophecy of “Loki” and establish his role in Ragnarok. Kratos must decide whether he will be chained by the fear of repeating his mistakes or break free of his past to be the father Atreus needs.
● Instruments of war: The Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos and Guardian Shield return alongside a host of new abilities for both Kratos and Atreus. Kratos’ deadly Spartan kills will be tested like never before as he battles gods and monsters across Nine Realms to protect his family.
● Explore vast realms: Journey through dangerous and stunning landscapes while facing a wide variety of enemy creatures, monsters and Norse gods as Kratos and Atreus search for answers.

This review contains minor gameplay spoilers. If you're trying to avoid all spoilers I would suggest you don't consume any review content.
Had to record this while sick with strep please excuse my voice not being as smooth as usual but I can't wait for y'all to enjoy this yourselves!
Feel better man
Hope you get better man. On a side note, will you be live streaming this game or just standard gameplay episodes? Cheers in advance and a speedy recovery!
@@realslimshady6650 Gameplay, already got a buttload recorded.
Which game for you was better Elden Ring or God of War Ragnarok? Just curious.
@@LaimonasRimkus He said in another reply that he won't be able to answer that until he plays a lot more of Ragnarok.
"What the fuck ever." - Brock
Probably one of my favorite quotes from a merchant in any video game when you don't walk away without buying something.
Also, Nanya.
Nanya what?!
Brok: Nanya fuckin business.😂
that was something else though😂😂
What’re ya buying
Wishing you a speedy recovery, CB! I look forward to your gameplay; I can't believe it's been so long since 2018!
I told myself I wouldn't watch anything for the last 2 weeks before release. But a cowboy review is always a must
I almost spoiled myself the ending
Looking forward to your playthrough. I don't own a PS5, so I'll experience the game vicariously through you! Awesome review.
It is on PS4 too. I got my copy pre-ordered.
I'm going to be playing on my PS4 Pro!
YESSS I can't wait! I can't believe it's been 4 years already. Didn't see it coming!!
Yup! Just like I did with the first game years ago
Makes me sad for you that you don’t have PS5… I don’t think I would play it either if I only had PS4
I didn’t watch the video I just listened because I don’t want the visual spoilers.
That was a good choice
I did the same thing
I'm just popping in cuz I like cowboy but I'm stopping after 3 mins lol. I dont need to see/hear anything else. Cannot wait for this!
i did not do that and got spoiled of some stuff
Smart, I read your comment and thought “ehh, there won’t be anything too spoilery” oops….
I literally just finished your walkthrough of God of War 2018. Great timing.
Thanks for pulling an all nighter to get this up. Looking forward to playing it.
The father son relationship you mentioned has me really excited. I wanted more in the first one
I was a little worried the combat would be samey, good to hear they expanded on it!
I didn't know you did stuff like that for a second job. That's amazing. I love it.
Can't wait to get my hands on this game. Got mine on pre-order!
I'm happy to report that it seems they have fixed the problem you had with the touchpad. I have just finished the story and had zero problems opening the map this way and I was checking it a lot. Great review by the way 👌
Thanks for the review bro! Hope you do more of these in the future :D
Thanks for your review 🤠 I'm looking forward to playing this game.
Man I cannot wait for this game and your let's play!
Stoked for the lets play! Impatiently waiting 😆🤘
dropping reviews? Loving this! ❤❤❤❤❤
The game looks fantastic! GoW 2018 was my first plat and the first god of war game I’ve played. Looking forward to this.
As I am watching your review, I am on 15 minutes before I can play the game and I have to say that thank you for the review, we have been waiting for this game for far too long, and as for the episodes, yes three per day will do.
The first gow game is one of the top 10 games I've ever played as far as favorites go. I'm extremely excited to play this one. Thank you all involved in the creation of this wonderful experience. Woot!
First?
the 2018 one is not the first one, not by a long shot. it is in fact the 4th game in the installment. Ragnarok is the 5th.
I'm so looking forward to watching this my dude.
erm actually 🤓🤓🤓🤓 the combat quicktime, events and boss fights makes this a interactive movie like all games🤓🤓🤓(technically all games are interactive movies)
Great review. But surprised boss fight is what good games is all about. But I do see the frustration in some degree. But I can't wait to play next week.
I have to wait to get my hands on this game prob till xmas so i will be watching your lets play cowboy.
Great review. I’m hyped for the Let’s Play!
Pena is here.
@@Temeturs Tem my guy!
I come and go on your content, but goddamn do you deliver when I do watch. I had no idea how educated you were. I mean I knew you weren’t dumb, but having that different mindset when it comes to UI is awesome, because there’s some games where I can’t put my finger on it but the ui just feels bad
I hope there is a good enemy variety, the first one was a bit lacking (drougr after drougr).
The devs already said there is. Didn’t you pay attention to any of the trailers
I don't have a PS5 and I probably won't have time to play the game myself if they port it to PC like they did the previous one, so I'll more than likely watch you play it. ^^ Thanks for the review!
Cowboy off topic man I played ghost song today and I was blown away man. Definitely your kind of game you have to try it.
Your Elden ring saved me a lot of time. Thank you good sir😉
The way I play games is that I do literally everything I'm going to do in that play through, including all side quests etc. all content I'm going to do, and then I finish the game and see the credits roll. I never play a game after that point, if I do, it's because I'm starting a new play through. And I never play NG+'s, the struggle of starting with nothing and getting stronger is a big part of the fun for me. Sometimes I hold off on that last mission for a very long time, because I'm trying to complete all content first. I'm probably the only person that plays games like this.
Probably wont be playing this game but I'll definitely see your plathru of it
I can’t wait for your LP ❤️
Can't wait for your let's play on this sooo fuckin hyped!!! 🙌 Hope your trip went well sorry to hear you're not feelin 100 God bless you and tha fam as always 🙏 lookin forward to all that's ahead!! I appreciate all you do!!
Tom is here again
As someone who’s visually impaired it’s amazing to hear about the accessibility options. I just need large text really and the text looks great from what I’ve seen compare to the first one at launch.
You'll be good. Size, contrast, shading behind words. Tons of stuff to help with readability
Pretty excited for it although I don't think it beats elden ring for the goty award. Also can someone confirm that this game can enter as a nominee for this year goty award?
That accessibility stuff he’s talking sounds it could be really convenient
My copy is on the way, cannot wait
Referencing souls game was a good taste for me to hear from you even in god 👌
Im just hoping it will run well on my ps4 pro, cant wait play it.
It’s incredible how confident is Sony / Santa Monica for letting us reviews this early. I hope it sells like crazy. Everyone is loving it.
This and Elden Ring are gonna fight for GOTY lol. Ragnarok is expected to absolutely smash and I just know it will !
@@Bludgeoned2DEATH2 i think it will end up going down to whether voters care more about ER difficulty or Ragnarok’s exclusivity.
@@Roma-tp9nw lol
Game looks solid, I was a initially a bit miffed that there wasn't such a leap in graphics but it's seems everything as been refined and this sequel is a more complete package.
Thanks so much for your excellent review. I’m looking forward to playing this game. When I played the 2018 version I was so green to gameplay I’m sure I barely skimmed the surface. Now that I’m Eldin Lord 🤣🤣 I feel much more confident.
Eldin Lord? you mean Elden Lord, right?
@@zerrierslizer1 of course
@@babsdances3919 ah ok. sorry for the correction, but i just wanted to make sure so i don't misunderstand something haha. have a beautiful day.
@@zerrierslizer1 no problem I was just proud to become Elden Lord at all.
Can ya say anything about being able to use mjolnir or not in the game?
Congrats on the 1mil
Cowboy thanks for the review!
I don't even have a PS5 but I'm probably gonna watch a lot of your playthroughs because all I want in the world is Ragnarok
Looks great!
the combat in this is WAY harder than dark souls, it punishes you so heavily for being in the center of the area, and then if you back in to a corner ur dead. It throws 4 enemies at you at once, and then doesn't really give you any tools to deal with that many foes. Probably wouldnt bother me as much if the healing system weren't so rigid.
whats with the enemies running behind you and the camera not even moving fast enough to allow you to turn around and block, just frustrating stuff, again, wouldnt feel as bad if the game didn't feel like ur not supposed to get hit due to the scarcity of heals
This game is beautiful!!
I am so excited!!!
could we know when the 1st episode is will come out?
I don’t know if I should watch it, I don’t want to spoil anything for myself but I’m so tempted 😅
watch the review or the playthrough? cause if we know anything about CB its that there is no way he is gonna spoil anything in the review considering how much he hates it!
There are some minor spoilers in the gameplay footage.
Just listen without watching would be my suggestion.
@@UmbrageousZX well he spoiled that we play as Atreus lol
@@watson3906 i guess we got different definitions of spoiliers in a REVIEW ^^
i dont care for gameplay footage. spoilers is the story and what happens in it! u need to see the gameplay so u know what u want to play/buy
12:01 is there a screen ratio problem? the enemies look so weird
Fuck. I wish I could’ve had the Atreus gameplay reveal surprise me in my first playthrough. Love ya Cowboy but I’ll have to listen to the rest of your review post-game.
Sorry, thought it was revealed prior 😅
@@FightinCowboy It was the next logical step and I'm pretty sure I read about this on another gaming forum weeks ago that he would be playable.
Lmao thank god he said that I don’t want to play this game anymore now that I know you play as Atreus for hours at a time that’s a big no from me
What’s your game of the year cowboy? Elden ring or ragnarok?
So excited for this!❤
i wish i had a ps5 and 4kTv to see this live
Elden Ring was a landmark whereas Ragnarok sounds like a good sequel (refinement + more stuff) to a good game. While I enjoyed most of the other parts, I was personally a bit underwhelmed by God of War 2018's combat (the "chopping wood" feel, the camera, the enemy design, most bosses, etc) and didn't find any of the combat on GMGOW super engaging outside of the Valkyrie fights, so I'm hoping the enemy, encounter and boss design is more interesting this time around even if the core system is the same. I'm encouraged by you mentioning some of the accessibility features; I really hope they have some options setting the arrow firing to an auto-fire toggle or something like that because boy did it get annoying and even physically painful to have to spam that constantly while trying to focus on melee combat.
I am excited about the game but exploring on my own and then getting stock on an area with a “mandatory” boss fight is not appealing at all. Aside from that, I am looking forward to play it. 😀
It's pretty odd design, especially when most of us want to hammer all side content to get skill tree unlocked as quick as possible. If the side missions are harder than story missions as you progress, why lock you into them?
I love all your Elden Ring content and find it very valuable. I just wish you and others had been more careful about revealing additional playable characters. I know that's barely a drop in the bucket of what's in store with this game, but it wasn't in the promotional content for a reason.
EDIT: I just saw your warning after posting that. I stand corrected, although I do consider that to be more than a "minor" spoiler. Thank you for all your work on all my favorite games.
You start playing as him within the first few hours and it's a core part of the gameplay, probably a 3rd of the game is played as Atreus, it would have been disingenuous to tell you "You get an 80 hr game" without mentioning that 25 of those hours are not as Kratos.
The other reviews i watched kept saying there are gameplay related things that they do not want to share. Four minutes into your review and i think i see what they were talking about lol. Wow.
any chance we get to use mjolnir?
freya ai is wild
question are you doing a walkthrough for your first playthrough or like a soulsborne game you will do a walkthrough playthrough after your first playthrough?
edit:
fromsoft hasn't really been good with optimization
do you remember bloodborne day 1 loading screens?oh boy
elden ring has a bit of pop in on the ps5 but i dint really care abit that
glad my 2 most anticipated games this year reviewed well, looking forward to ragnarok
The one good thing about being a big variety streamer is getting games early
How can the story be BETTER?!!? Can't wait I'm literally jumping up and down constantly
I actually played this game during the holiday season of 2022. I enjoyed exploring the nine realms even I kinda felt like they were a bid alien like such as Alfheim, Stravalheim, Vanaheim and Jotunheim, the most bizarre and strange looking of them all. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Kratos, Atreus and the 2 Dwarves. My favorite moments were the arrival the Asgard as well as Odin giving Atreus the tour of his kingdom, the Heimdall boss fight and Ragnarok itself. I would give this game a 10 out of 10.
I just think the unique nature of Elden ring, along with the absolute polish of the dark souls formula, makes it the game of the year.
Elden Ring is not polished, lmfao
Very different games but yeah, hard to top ER.
@@vordt4139 bro what 😭
Elden ring suffered from way too many reused content that keeps it from being GOTY imo
Elden Ring was great but Polished it certainly was not and souls games have never been bar bloodborne. If anything they are known to be buggy/ dated but you deal with it as part of the charm & atmosphear of those games.
I guess it is too late Cowboy but I would really like if you downloaded the game in PS4 and run it for like a half an hour or something to let us know how it performs in old gen.
i wanna know about the spear and that sword too
M son looks identical to Atreis. Made me feel wierd playing it and get super invested.
Does the game support gyro/motion aiming?
It is far easier to aim with it + it is great for accessibility too
Yes
How do you get early access codes?
How did you get this? It just came out.
Honestly, the story and direction was my biggest positive from GoW 2018. If you say this one has even better story, I'm gonna keep my hopes up
I actually wasn´t a huge fan of the God of War reboot. I thought the fighting was super clunky compared to a lot of other action games and action RPG:s. I liked the first three games becasue they reminded me of DMC. This looks a bit better though...
I didn't think that Sindri would be one to drop the F bomb
This or Elden Ring for goty? Would love to hear your thoughts on it cowboy 🤠
drop a walkthrough for this man
will you play the game "The Last Hero of Nostalgaia"?
It’s already downloaded on my PS5. Just two more days!
Yeah I kinda didn’t like the fact they Atreus play time is too much, I wanna kill enemies with kratos
This game looks incredibly beautiful.
CB who do you thing GOTY this or ER?
Hi cowboy
Awsome review, loved The last gow game and surely finna love this one.
Are i plan kng to do a walktrough series like The one with elden rings(great videos there also) or u gonna settle with The let's play videos?
Love your walktrough videos on the souls games. So one for this wouöd be awesome!
haven't watched the vid because I want to go blind as possible but how is the hardest difficulty like in the first one I found some parts very annoying at that difficulty.
Ham is here again
Damn, I guess I need to go back and finish the last one. 😂
Nice play
Nice review cowbro
When is the let's play starting cb
Man the fact they decided to do multiple playable characters is pretty cool, I'm excited to see how Atreus kicks ass without Daddy around.
This review is pretty unique.
Tbh God of war is in my opignion the best franchise ever made :p the story telling and combat mechanic are insane.
I really expected the entire game to just be kratos and Atreus. I was happily surprised to see all the companions come and go throughout the game.
Quick Question GOW Ragnarok or Elden Ring?
I'll come back after I play it
"Get up, Brother!"
Yesssssssss!!
Can we expect a 100% walkthrough series
@@atlantic_love Sekiro is about the same length.
I’ll wait for it to be free on ps+ like i did on the first one, first one was ok for me, so i can wait a couple of years to play this one
