God of War Ragnarok early impression preview - A powerful start for Kratos’ next adventure
God of War Ragnarok is a highly anticipated action-adventure title developed by Santa Monica Studio, and the most important question we can ask is, “Does the game disappoint?” The short answer is “Absolutely not”.
