God of War Ragnarok - Santa Monica Studio - Ep#47
19God of War Ragnarök is a third-person action-adventure video game. It features an over-the-shoulder free camera, while cinematographically, the game is presented in a continuous shot, with no camera cuts or loading screens. The gameplay is similar to the previous installment, God of War (2018), and like that game, it is single-player-only. Throughout the game, players battle Norse mythological foes, with more enemy types than in the previous game, and the developers also added more mini bosses to give the game more variety. The player controls the character Kratos in combo-based combat and puzzle game elements.
Kratos' main weapons are a magical battle axe, called the Leviathan Axe, and his signature double-chained blades, the Blades of Chaos. He also has a shield, formerly called the Guardian Shield in the previous game. Kratos also utilizes hand-to-hand combat. The Leviathan Axe is infused with ice elemental magic. It can be thrown at enemies and magically summoned back to his hand, similar to Thor's hammer Mjölnir. The weapon can also be thrown at environmental objects to trigger a damaging explosion, and it can freeze objects and some enemies in place for puzzle-solving until the axe is summoned back to Kratos' hand. The Blades of Chaos, infused with fire elemental magic, are a pair of blades attached to chains that can be swung around in various maneuvers. A new mechanic for Ragnarök is that the blades can also be used like a grappling hook to traverse over chasms as well as to pick up and hurl objects at enemies.
Both weapons have standard light and heavy attacks, and over time, they can be upgraded with runes to allow for magical runic attacks, with one slot being for a light magical attack and the other for a heavy one, providing players with a variety of options to cater to their own play style. The triangle button on the controller was also changed for Ragnarök. In the previous game, the button was used to summon Kratos' axe back to his hand, but if he already had the axe, nothing happened. The button was changed to allow the player to use "Weapon Signature Moves", which, depending on what weapon is equipped, unleashes a powerful ice or fire magical attack. If on a higher ledge, the player may also leap down from the ledge and perform a powerful attack on enemies below them.
In the previous game, the shield was only used for blocking and could perform a minor parry attack. For Ragnarök, the shield was revamped for more versatility. There are different types of shields that can be obtained, and when summoned, the shield can be used offensively or defensively, depending on which shield is equipped. Smaller shields are more adept for parrying while larger ones are more defensive. For example, the Dauntless Shield allows for a parry attack that when triggered correctly, Kratos smashes the shield into a foe that tosses and stuns enemies. Dissimilarly, the Stonewall Shield is more defensive based. Guarding with the Stonewall Shield raises its kinetic energy and once it is fully charged, the player can slam the shield into the ground, emitting a large wave of energy that knocks back enemies. Other shields with different abilities can be acquired throughout the game. When not in use, the shield folds up and appears like a vambrace on Kratos' left forearm.
