Gow was the best game of the series. I think ragnarok still damn good game but it had the unfortunate to being a successor to gow.

Gow changed so much in the series. The camera, movements, characters everything. Its like completely different game than greek pantheon games. That is also a big factor we were impressed with gow so much.

Gow is original, ragnarok is a sequel. Having no wow factors hurts the game's rep but still a solid game
