God of War PC Vs PS5 Performance Review

ign.com:

“A little far from home, aren’t you?”

Kratos most certainly is! One of the biggest anti-heroes in the PlayStation family has moved home twice in the past four years. First, Kratos left the ancient Greek climes and mythology behind and hit the colder and harsher environment of the Nordic mythology. But by far the bigger move, though, is that he’s no longer a PlayStation-exclusive character, with PC players now invited into the fold ahead of the PS4 & PS5 release of the concluding chapter in this tale, God of War Ragnarok. The question left to be answered is: Is Kratos sorry or is he better?

It is fair to say that PlayStation Studios has been at the forefront of gaming technology and quality for the past couple of generations. This is borne out by one of the longest-serving studios, Sony Santa Monica, exploding onto the PS4 with arguably the game of the entire generation. Even though it may be four years old now, God of War is still a gorgeous looking game. With exceptionally high production values, incredible art direction, strong visual and technical implementation, and memorable and complex characters with a compelling story throughout, it really reinvigorated the plot-driven, single-player aspect of games whilst expanding on a pre-established character and lore with confidence and honesty. Name me a game that has a better opening 30 minutes than this? It sets the tone so well that I found it almost impossible to stop playing. The 2022 PC version loses none of that and is as excellent as the 2018 PS4 game, which – if you haven’t already read the IGN review of, now’s your chance.

Have you played God of War?

I expected great action from God of War, and it delivers that handily. But I didn’t expect it to be a thrilling journey
