Gameplay Stats: 72 hours, 48/48 achievements

God of War Ragnarok is still a good game! I wanted to replay so I picked it up on PC and figured I'd check out the Valhalla roguelike mode they added after I played originally on PS5.

I think the added Valhalla mode was pretty fun but I am glad they didn't release it as a standalone game. I don't think there is quite enough here to be a full-fledged rogue-lite. That being said, I had an excellent time playing this through the lens of it being a post-game DLC. I think most of the levels are full of some simple enemies at first but then they add more monsters from the original God of War games set in Greece. This definitely adds to the challenge in a fun way! The combat in this game is already super fun, getting to experience more permutations was a great time. I do wish there was a bit more variation in the boons/runes you get to change up your run. I feel like I saw a lot of repeats. But it was just a little side project, so I think it was probably fine. Well done Sony Santa Monica Studios! Can't wait to see what they get up to next.
