God of War Ragnarök (PS5) 4K 60FPS HDR Gameplay - (Full Game) (Part 1)

God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released worldwide on November 9, 2022, for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, marking the first cross-gen release in the God of War series. It is the ninth installment in the series chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game is set in ancient Scandinavia and feature series protagonist Kratos and his teenage son Atreus. Teased as the finale to the Norse era of the series, the game covers Ragnarök, the eschatological event which is central to Norse mythology and was foretold to happen in the previous game after Kratos killed the Æsir god Baldur.


God of War Ragnarök is a third-person action-adventure video game. It features an over-the-shoulder free camera, while cinematographically, the game is presented in a continuous shot, with no camera cuts or loading screens. The gameplay is similar to the previous installment, God of War (2018), and like that game, it is single-player-only. Throughout the game, players battle Norse mythological foes, with more enemy types than in the previous game, and the developers also added more mini-bosses to give the game more variety.

The player controls the character Kratos in combo-based combat and puzzle game elements. Kratos' main weapons are a magical battle axe called the Leviathan Axe, and his signature double-chained blades, the Blades of Chaos. He also has a shield, formerly called the Guardian Shield in the previous game. Kratos also utilizes hand-to-hand combat. The Leviathan Axe is infused with ice elemental magic. It can be thrown at enemies and magically summoned back to his hand, similar to Thor's hammer Mjölnir. The weapon can also be thrown at environmental objects to trigger a damaging explosion, and freeze objects and some enemies in place for puzzle-solving until resummoned. The Blades of Chaos, infused with fire elemental magic, are a pair of blades attached to chains that can be swung around in various maneuvers. A new mechanic for Ragnarök is that the blades can also be used like a grappling hook to traverse over chasms. They can also be used to pick up and hurl objects at enemies. Both weapons have standard light and heavy attacks. They can be upgraded with runes to allow for magical runic attacks, with slots for a light and heavy magical attack, providing players with a variety of options for their own play style.[2][3][4][5] The triangle button on the controller was also changed for Ragnarök. In the previous game, the button was used to summon Kratos' axe back to his hand, but if he already had the axe, nothing happened. Now, the button allows the player to use "Weapon Signature Moves" to unleash a powerful elemental attack depending on the weapon equipped.[6] If on a higher ledge, the player can leap down to perform a powerful attack on enemies below.[5]

In the previous game, the shield was only used for blocking and could perform a minor parry attack. For Ragnarök, the shield was revamped for more versatility. There are different shields that can be obtained. They can be used offensively or defensively depending on which shield is equipped. Smaller shields are for parrying, while larger ones are more defensive. For example, the Dauntless Shield has a parry attack that when triggered correctly, Kratos smashes the shield into a foe that tosses and stuns
