Ragnarök plays your feelings like a fiddle, but a well-written story needs the performances and presentation to match, which unsurprisingly this game offers in spades. Add to that the vastly expanded cast, all with their own sets of moral questions to answer, and this seemingly mythological story packs a deep emotional core that Santa Monica hits with pitch-perfect accuracy.Īnd this core strength is emphasized by the great amount of attention paid to its characters - giving each protagonist and antagonist time to communicate their life purpose that drives situations to play out in the ways they do.

Now that Atreus is a teenager, his character has a lot more depth that provides unique dynamics to the father/son relationship that tests their bond in real human ways.
