Soapbox God of War Ragnarok Is a Real Game of the Year Rival to Elden Ring
Sammy didn't expect it
I absolutely loved Elden Ring. My relationship with FromSoftware’s rise into the mainstream has been, well, complicated. Many forget that the Japanese studio has been knocking around PlayStation platforms since the days of King’s Field, where it was resolutely considered a B-tier developer at best. Even with the remarkable...

Now this is a real rarity: God of War Ragnarok has ended up sitting at the same Metacritic score as its predecessor, God of War (2018).

News This Japanese God of War Ragnarok Ad Is an Absolute Must Watch
Don't worry: no spoilers here
Yesterday saw Ben Stiller cosplaying as Kratos, but the advert specific to Japan for God of War Ragnarok is, well, quite a bit different. Instead of LeBron James and John Travolta, Japan has Mr Sato singing and dancing along to "Goddo Obu Woragnaroku no Uta". It's an utter delight and makes for essential viewing as we...

News Ben Stiller Is Kratos in God of War Ragnarok Ad with John Travolta, LeBron James
You read that right
What in the pits of Muspelheim’s lava pools is this? Sony has spent big on God of War Ragnarok’s latest commercial, which sees Ben Stiller dressed as Kratos for a group therapy session with John Travolta and LeBron James. We think the commercial’s trying to play into the complicated relationship between the aforementioned...
News God of War Ragnarok to Feature a Transmog Armour System Due to Popular Demand
Looking good, boy
God of War Ragnarok is shaping up to be a groundbreaking video game; that much is obvious from the time we've spent exploring the Nine Realms so far.
