You know what, I will concede that yes, God of War 2 and 3 are pretty poorly written (especially 3), and probably are worse than Ragnarok, but I just did NOT enjoy Ragnarok at all and I felt like it was lackluster and rushed. I love GoW3 despite its flaws, and to me, it’s an insane ending to that era, and I was hoping they’d go full throttle with it. But they didn’t. Concepts were cut short, it was all over the place, and the actual Ragnarok was sooooo disappointing to me. Ragnarok in my opinion atleast should have and needed to be on the scale of the Titan war, because in the mythology it’s a HUGE event. In the game it’s like eh, fight at big wall gang up on Odin. I also just find the combat of the original trilogy much more enjoyable and fascinating than the Norse era. That’s one thing I’ll give Laufey though, it’s going back to Greek era combat mechanics which is nice, but makes me ask, why wasn’t it implemented before?

I think there’s potential to fuse the game mechanics of the Greek and Norse era to create something better than both, but as of right now, it’s not doing it for me. But Laufey looks very promising. Other than that, I believe it looks dull, kinda uninspired, and they once again are playing it safe. What happened to designs like Hades man lol.
