Old Kratos VS Young Kratos God of War Ragnarok / God of War 2005 Blades of Chaos / Athena

Tyr gotta be thinking this Kratos guy is the absolute weirdest right now

[stephencarroll]

I dont like how they reduced the amount of fire and ice that comes from the weapons

I'd say, the axe felt and sounded heavy in 2018. From recalling the axe, feeling your controller vibrate as Kratos palms it, to the heavy sound it makes when it arrives in Kratos' hand, it feels heavy. Even when it spins on its own when you hold R1, you can hear how heavy it sounds. In Ragnarok, it sounds and feels light. It doesn't feel like that heavy duty axe in 2018. I preferred the 2018 axe sounds and graphics. The ice was bright blue, distinct from the environment. The ice from the axe in Ragnarok seems to follow a warmer tone, which sometimes doesn't contrast with the environment, rather it blends in and one can seldom tell that he's deployed some ice attack.

Some of these moves are now belong to the Spear. God of War 2018 was more raw power. Ragnarok focus on utility and versatile which mean you can go crazier with different combos this time.

It feels more powerful using the axe in the gow
Gowr feels more realistic but the satisfaction is reduced

[tisbutascratch]

THIS GOTTA BE THE BIGGEST DOWNGRADE BUT THEY DID THE BLADES OF CHAOS EVEN WORSE

[nomorepartiezz]

the axe felt and sounded so much weightier and heavier in 2018. no idea why they changed it

[CannibalisticCorpseGrinder]

2018 had way better effect. Attacks felt more powerful, miss that in ragnarok

[aNsWeRkEy]

the effects & sound have more impact in the previous game..

[StaggerjAGGER]

If Fimbulwinter really drains all magic, then why are concentrated pockets of magic running around as Wraiths and Elementals trying to kill us? Just something I felt was weird

[thesilentsociety]

Hel Touch in 2018 was like a damn flash bang, but in Ragnarok it feels weaker but the flow up is a godsend in those damn Bezerker fights

[benchlord]

Those ice particles on GoW 2018's Ivaldi's Anvil relic hits different

[Danieru_]

In terms of combat, I liked GoW 2018 more than Ragnarok. Especially when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the lack of a skill tree for it in Ragnarok is disappointing. You have the Lunda Armor set that focuses on hand-to-hand combat yet there's barely any moves for it.

i think it's worth mentioning that the Returning Whirlwind no longer is activated with L2-R1, and is now activated with L1(shield)-R1, along with Returning Storm. IMO this is a horrible decision since now you can accidentally fire off runics when doing fast combos with Rw or Rs. If they moved the input to L1 because they wanted to replace it with something else id get it. But it just seems like needless change that's just another backstep from 2018. i defiantly wouldn't say they work the exact same.

[dominiclam]

All the effects for both the Axe and Blades seems heavier in 2018 yeah, they are more swift now, kinda indicating that Kratos has mastered them and oh, Fimbulwinter drains magic lol

[kingkaizoku]

1:06 I really prefer ragnaröks here despite less effects. The reason is because in 2018 it literally looks like water, meanwhile in ragnarök it actually looks like ice

[tratamarack]

Effects and moves feels like improvement because you aren't blinded by the frost particle effect anymore, but the sound effect change make the axe feels really light and weak. The same problem with blade of chaos, there is no "OOMPH!!!" behind this supposedly heavy attacks.

[samtg]

I wouldn’t say ragnarok’s effects are worse than 2018’s. It’s personal preference really. Ragnarok has more emphasis on the actual element the weapons are using. Yeah the attacks in 2018 felt bigger and more powerful, but thats bc they were all just huge over the top streams and particles that were colored to resemble ice or fire.

[cameronlott]

Tyrs revenge being a regular attack in Ragnarok is pretty cool
