God of War Ragnarök is an excellent game; most honest Steam reviews indicate as much. It was also voted “Most Wanted Game” by the Golden Joystick Awards.
A hot potato: Well, it didn’t take long to see how PC gamers would react to needing a PlayStation Network account to play God of War Ragnarök. It only launched last Thursday and has already been review-bombed to “Mixed” reviews. Unsurprisingly, most negative reviews were rants and gripes about needing a PSN account to play the single-player title.
God of War Ragnarök is an excellent game; most honest Steam reviews indicate as much. It was also voted “Most Wanted Game” by the Golden Joystick Awards two years before Sony released it as a PlayStation exclusive. Post-launch, it earned the most nominations and awards of any other title at DICE 2023, winning seven of its 12 nominations. However, it lost the DICE GotY to stiff competition from Elden Ring.
The main problem is that some players felt burned by the PSN requirement, even though this prerequisite was well-known before the PC port launched. Sony clearly noted it in its PC announcement.
