God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla is an unfortunate amalgamation of Norse words.

More combat is never a bad thing, considering how satisfying the systems in place are, and never-before-seen enemy groupings and a «few surprises» were teased. Likely learning a few lessons from Hades, the idea of repeat playthroughs is sweetened by the tantalising prospect of additional story beats.
