God of War Ragnarok is a must-play. There are no two ways about it. It is one of the best games out there. So I hope for your sake you don’t get spoiled and enjoy the game for the first time like a lot of us reviewers did and the way the devs wanted you to experience it.
A God of War Ragnarok PC mod that removed the game’s PSN requirements has been removed from Nexus Mods and GitHub.
God of War: Ragnarok is out on Steam and Epic Games. Although the game launched a few years after the first one (on PC), the visual quality is largely unchanged. There’s no ray-tracing or advanced global illumination tech to back up the delayed release, but Santa Monica has included a variety of upscalers.
God of War Ragnarok is now available on PC, and if you're wondering how it compares to the existing PS5 version, read ahead.
So practically the same. While pc is sharper, Ps5 must be a bargain then! These pcs are over twice the price!

PC is the better Version for now
( Ragnarök arrived on PC this week, offering a newly upgraded version of the PlayStation hit with a raft of graphical upgrades and new PC-specific features )
" Scaling beyond PS5, avoiding shader compilation stutter and plans for RT."
It’s not just how it looks but it plays. Higher frame rate is a big plus especially if you can push into the 144+ range.
Looks about what I expect from a first game developed for a console and ported by an unaccomplished studio.
Actually the game runs surprisingly well for an "unaccomplished studio" of 4 people. Mind you there are companies out here in these streets with hundreds or thousands of employees but can't get a PC port to run smoothly.
The game was developed for last-generation console hardware that is at least four PC generations old. Not to mention, the game itself is equivalent to a modern corridor shooter with intermissions in between, so not exactly what most sane people would call impressive or demanding.
So sorry, but no, that is not "surprisingly well"; it's quite literally the bare minimum. And I really wish people would stop praising mediocrity. When you do that, you set the bar low, which hurts both the industry and the consumer.
@vits so now you change it from your first point, to Ragnarok is a corridor game so it's not impressive anyway? If you have problems with what the game is, critique the original. The studio that does the port had nothing they could have done on that part. Should they have made it a massive open world sandbox or what did you expect them to do, would you be happy and impressed then or blame them for changing the game?
All your points are correct. We still haven’t seen what Sonys first party can do save for maybe ratchet and clank and returnal, but those were “launch games”. We need some meat on the bone with the new ones. State of play I just found the list, is not going to be that impressive
God dam where is new god of war and whatever naughty dog doing
You can also use Reshade to make the game and actually all PC games look better, though the FPS can take a minor hit but it's worth it. I cannot play a PC game without using this at all LOL. https://reshade.me/
Exactly. Not to mention what the modding scene will put out in the coming months.
You bet!
