About this gameFull description from Steam
THE NORSE SAGA CONTINUES From Santa Monica Studio and brought to PC in partnership with Jetpack Interactive comes God of War Ragnarök, an epic and heartfelt journey that follows Kratos and Atreus as they struggle with holding on and letting go. The sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarök picks up with Fimbulwinter well underway. Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as Odin’s forces in Asgard prepare for a prophesied battle that will end the world. Along the way, they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters. As the threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer, Kratos and Atreus must choose between the safety of their family and the safety of the realms. A FUTURE, UNWRITTEN Atreus seeks knowledge to help him understand the prophecy of “Loki” and establish his role in Ragnarök. Kratos must decide whether he will be chained by the fear of repeating his mistakes or break free of his past to be the father Atreus needs. FLUID, EXPRESSIVE COMBAT The Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos, and Guardian Shield return alongside a host of new abilities for both Kratos and Atreus. Kratos’ deadly Spartan skills will be tested like never before as he battles gods and monsters across Nine Realms to protect his family.

AN EPILOGUE TO RAGNARÖK Kratos’ journey continues as he enters Valhalla, a new location in the God of War Norse saga. Faced with echoes of his past, he fights to overcome the trials within himself and walk the path laid out before him. BELOVED COMBAT REIMAGINED The beloved combat from God of War Ragnarök with fresh and experimental twists inspired by the roguelite genre. Valhalla will push you to master different aspects of Kratos’ arsenal during each attempt as you face new combinations of enemies and some surprises along the way! FIGHT. LEARN. GROW. Death is never the end. Kratos will have access to his weapons, skills, shields and abilities, but each new attempt will reset his Stats, Runic Attacks and Perks.

Content notice

God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure game where players take the role of Kratos and his son as they embark on a quest to prevent the coming of Ragnarök. Players explore the Nine Realms, battling enemies in close-up, hand-to-hand combat against human-like raiders and fantastical creatures. Players use the Leviathan Axe and the chained Blades of Chaos to battle enemies, with attacks resulting in large sprays of red blood, decapitation, and dismemberment. After weakening an enemy, players can perform finishing moves that depict close-up impalement, dismemberment, and decapitation. Strong Language is used in the dialogue.
