The leap from the original God of War games to an entirely new format with the release of the blockbuster reimagining in 2018 was something that would be impossible to replicate exactly. So, Ragnarok will have to be content being an exceptional sequel to one of the best games of last generation.

Didn't even know the review embargo lifts that early, great to hear. Thanks for the info! Too many titles do launch day review embargos, which sucks.

From what I've read so far:
Differences:
Texture quality
Loading times
Performance
PS5 modes:
Favour Resolution: 4K resolution at a locked 30fps
Favour Performance: a locked 60fp
Favour Resolution (High Frame Rate): 4K resolution at a locked 40fps (TV with HDMI 2.1 support needed
Favour Performance (High Frame Rate): Targets 120fps (TV with HDMI 2.1 support needed)
PS4 seems to be capped at 30fps.
But I think there'll be more, like shadow resolution and AO, can't confirm though it's just a guess.

Jesus Christ is this bad.
Regarding playtime, the game takes around twice as long to complete compared to the first game:
First review leaked, Jeuxvideo from France gave the game a 5/5. Review has been removed quickly.

I think it could be lower because I see some reviewers saying "muh it's more of the same where's my evolution" so I'm going to guess an MC of 92!
3 hours and 10 minutes until the embargo lifts.

Clearly a PS4 game, loadings sections are even on PS5 and the performance mode on PS5 get really close to pretty much 120fps.

Waiting to hear what weird social shit they stuffed in this game
Definitely not a current gen game IMHO.
Still, looking fine and obviously a great experience apparently.

Looks like Elden Ring is going to have at least some competition for GotY. Impressive scores for sure.

Review: God of War Ragnarök is one of the best PlayStation games ever
God of War Ragnarok is an incredibly special game. It’s vital in a way few releases are.

GoW '18 was a good solid 8 for me and sounding like this is considerably better, which is good to hear. Though for a release of this magnitude, probably won't get true feedback until consumers have it.

Hmm, not sure I want to get it now or wait for the remake next year.

This is the boat I was in. I've considered going back and finishing '18. It was just a little too heavy on the scripted fights for my taste. Watching a battle cinematic and then suddenly needing to "mash square" is not my idea of an epic fight. lol
Shit I forgot I have a PS4 PRO in the closet. Now I am hyped.... graphics still look good

Game looks amazing. Need to play 2 again, maybe 3 for first time and then attempt 4 again?
Insane considering how even the first God of War was still a self contained story by itself, nevermind having four 90+ sequels.
