God of War Ragnarök is an action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released worldwide on November 9, 2022, for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, marking the first cross-gen release in the God of War series, and is set to be released for Windows on September 19, 2024. It is the ninth installment in the series, the ninth chronologically, and the sequel to 2018's God of War. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game is set in ancient Scandinavia and features series protagonist, Kratos, and his now teenage son, Atreus. Concluding the Norse era of the series, the game covers Ragnarök, the eschatological event which is central to Norse mythology and was foretold to happen in the previous game after Kratos killed the Aesir god Baldur.

Welp this took way longer than I anticipated but I wouldn't have done it any other way as this is our final GOW Friday 💙 Really appreciate everyone for your patience with this playthrough it's definitely been a long one, due to life getting in the way but consistency returns to the channel next week with Valhalla and so many new games. Much love and Happy Friday!

[@thekatarnalchemist]

Hey Mati! I've been looking forward to this vid all week. Congratulations on beating the base game! Also, gonna try sending a postcard sometime tomorrow. Thanks for being awesome!

[@PeachBBX]

was gonna ask what you meant by final God of War Friday lol. Excited for Valhalla

Get me some!!

​ @matiasgago I will!!! ❤❤ Btw I'm working on platinuming Ragnarok on GMGOW and I was lowkey trying to beat you to it 😅

[@TheGRW]

​@@matiasgagome too

[@Kaasi20]

I woke up this morning, and saw Mati hadn’t uploaded. I was truly sad. Now I’m happy, so hell yeah. Can’t wait until Valhalla

[@matiasgago]

Video took an absurd amount to process but we back baby!

[@insertedgynamehere___969]

Fun fact: you can find odin in your first visit to swartfelheim. He's disguised as the dwarf you find in the prison. He's the dwarf on a bridge that spits at you

[@matiasgago]

That’s incredible 🤣

[@kingstation3148]

There are a lot of people who don't feel the happiness for these long videos. They just want 10 minutes for 8 hours of gameplay! Thank you, Mati, for making this possible. ♥️♥️♥️ + Also I really liked the Thumbnail

[@odperfect1021]

THIS IS LITERALLY LONGER THAN FRICKING ENDGAME

[@BrunoVelius]

A fun fact: After rescuing Tyr the characters talk about how Odin use those people to transform in them whenever he pleased. Remember that dead dwarf you found in a cell? 4:24 . Well, it was reveal by the director of Ragnarok that same dwarf can be seeing in the game during the moment Kratos and Atreus arrive to Nidavellir. He is the dwarf that spits on the main characters but actually that dwarf is Odin in disguise stalking them. You can notice by the way he walks in one moment ans starts doing it differently in the other. It's a cool detail for the game.

[@eamoncole5778]

Gotta say you are my favorite KZbinr, youve helped me ignite my passion to play certain games again and in general watch others. Your extremely relatable and i dont know how to explain but your able to almost make us feel like we are there watching you play and we feel included. Best of luck to you mate.

[@kyle1806]

Mati, A few games for your consideration: 1. Lords of the Fallen: Really feels like a true modern day sequel to Dark Souls 1. The world design is incredible; twisting and turning on itself, then you add in the Umbral Realm layered on top of the main realm and it introduces some really cool exploration and puzzles to solve and is just so cool being able to peek into another realm entirely. The lore and ambience are equally exceptional, and the game looks fantastic. Now the combat... this might be a hot take but I LOVE the combat in this game. It definitely feels way slower than Elden Ring or GoW:R and even feels a bit janky at first but after 15 mins or so you really get in the rhythm. It feels weighty and impactful and there are a lot of moves each weapon can do - even some secrets! Bosses are super sinister looking, and while not the hardest game ever they are all quite memorable. I really recommend this game if you're looking for a more traditional soulslike that you can get immersed in the world and the lore. 2. Remnant 2: I would really be interested to see you take on a shooter and I feel like you would love Remnant 2 (and the first game, for that matter!). The gameplay is truly exceptional, there's so many guns, mods, skills and classes to collect as well as armor and trinkets that you have endless build possibilities. The bosses are BONKERS. In both presentation and gameplay. They are so fun and inventive, the designers really put their all into each boss and you'll constantly be wowed at how they thought up these mechanics or this design. I would recommend this game if you're looking for a fresh twist on the soulslike genre. 3. Another Crabs Treasure: Okay, I 100% thought this would be a meme game before it came out. I was so wrong. It has a surprisingly deep and resonant story, while still being super lighthearted and funny. The characters are so memorable and loveable (I would die for Kril) and the gameplay is really exceptional as well. Not only does it feel really polished, but the developers went out of their way to include a bunch of new mechanics and did a great job theming them around what it would be like to be an anthropomorphic crab. The bosses are also a highlight, some of them being extremely challenging. I would recommend this game if you're looking for something relatively light and fresh but still within that hardcore soulslike genre. A palette cleanser, if you will. I hope you consider some of these games for the next few series', but whatever you pick I hope you enjoy it!

[@Bayle-the-Dread-Dragon]

He still hasn't done a subnautica playthrough

[@martinarguelles165]

I dont know who's idea it was. But making the REAL tyr the kind of guy you'd see at Burning Man was just the best idea ever. He's a great example of not avoiding conflict, but fighting for peace.

[@martinc8965]

What I like about the Crater section is how tied it is to the story, Birgir is the one who gives Kratos the firework that he uses in Ragnarok, and those dragons you face you see for the first time when you arrive in Asgard as Atreus.

[@polo5760]

I'm glad that you finally got all the crows. That entire quest messed me up for so long. Especially the super messed up lore involved in it. Those kids deserved better than that. At least they can have peace

[@polo5760]

If you do the quest before you kill Odin they ask you to kill him for them.

[@polo5760]

Also your right about the mother and father line

[@Theoneandonlyjeremyrenner]

Don’t know if you’ve already played Red Dead Redemption 2 in your free time, but if you haven’t you should to play it for the channel! It’s pretty long, so I get if you don’t.

[@regisofcorvobianco]

Mati, your GoW series playthrough is the best I have ever come across. Can't wait for Valhalla now and oh my god bro you are NOT ready 😂 Thank you for so much joy and know that your content has helped me through some tough times these past months 💕

[@Theoneandonlyjeremyrenner]

You should watch Jetro Jetro. He played the recent games, but not the old ones. The playthroughs are very good through like Mati’s

[@whosdanl]

oh my god this one’s a movie and a half 😭

[@zanderbeasley5868]

Gna is one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced in video games. I can see her moves in my sleep

[@Bo-my5bn]

4 hours hell yeah! Awesome way to conclude GOW fridays tying up all the ends to the story. So many beutiful last moments but Kratos with Fenrir in Jotunheim, and Chaurli's new carer hit hard for me. Also the grave in Midguard you noticed with the bloomed flowers was Fenrir's...

[@garrettjackson1451]

Nice that you rescued Tyr the real one would of gladly helped to lead the realms against Asgard

[@WojtekGoose]

So you probably realised this during editing but yeah 2:48:57 very literally means that all these children were hanged and sacrificed for Odin. So not only The Raven Keeper forced these children's souls into working for Odin but their parents also just killed them for Odin in a very painful way

[@matiasgago]

I did! So outrageous

[@prm6690]

I'm so glad to have made this journey with ya Mati! Keep up the amazing work and can't wait for the DLC is absurdly amazing

[@josephmad3255]

I love watching you play this game man. It’s going to absolutely suck once it’s over but I am enjoying every minute.

[@Mohammedthecrimsonknight]

Holy moly freaking guacamole a 4 hours video from matti . We have been blessed ! And I need a lot of snacks for this one😂

[@Guirko]

Hey Mati! Wanted to give a heads up about the DLC and how it changes things up gameplay wise. Just to maybe help manage expectations, but you can ignore it if you don't wanna know. I've seen some people have a less than great time with the DLC because of the change in genre. Valhalla changes the game into a rogue-lite which, if you're unfamiliar, usually involves a lot of dying and having to start over from the very beginning. It's part of the fun though, because every 'run' is different and you get to create new crazy builds each time. Some people get frustrated with it, because they interpret dying as failure. Knowing you it probably won't be an issue, but i just wanted to make sure you knew what you're getting into so you won't get frustrated like they did 😆

[@artistTomcat]

Almost 4 hours? Seems like I got something to spend my weekend with. Thanks a bunch

[@ededpesa]

I got that bug with King beserker too! Respect for loading back!

[@prime207]

These boss fights take forever. Always make sure you're fully upgraded on armor and weapons before anything else. Each of them took me an hour

[@SwoleHippie]

Holy MOLY 4 hours of Mati goodness! Weekend sorted! 😍

[@LaughingSpartan]

A week’s wait was finally worth it

[@jonmichaelbarnett2051]

Some coffee in the afternoon and a Mati upload. Can't beat that, no sir!!

[@SnartCaptaincold52]

If it makes anyone feel better, it took me a week to defeat Gná. I was playing on easy mode. For comparison purposes, I also faced Sigrun in easy mode and defeated her after 3 attempts.

[@themagikconk]

Mati returns! With a movie and a half no less. Since you're getting close to finished with the god of war series, I recommend the DOOM series to be on your radar. It might be a nice change of pace and DOOM dark ages is coming out next year. The modern games are just absolutely amazing and DOOM eternal especially is one of the few games I'd call a masterpeice. Meanwhile classic doom might not be amazing for views (though you never know) but it would be neat to see you play such a different era of gaming and honestly, once you get used to them, the classic games in the series hold up well for being around 3 decades old.

[@caseywilliams4145]

Kratos got to be one of the best characters of all time but I can't lie I'm a lot less afraid of the older Kratos then I am of his younger self and if I ask myself which one do I like more I got to go with younger Kratos he was just so much more hard core..... but I'm glad he got peace even if the nightmares still haunt him he's a better man...odin and company are lucky he never really showed them what he was

[@osamita4701]

Been waiting for this all week LETS FKN GO! i'll go grab something to eat for this movie

AND NOW ITS TIME FOR GOW ASCENCION

[@tonypeparoni1235]

[@killjoy362]

Atreus never got to know týr . I would like reunion

[@Funktioner1]

38:56 did anyone eles see freya going friking bananas on that guy's shiled cuz she coud not get a hit in 🤣

[@Joshheath61]

Love these videos! FYI, You get different dialogue from Atreus if you decide to do all this side stuff with him before finishing the main story. Makes playing the game again interesting from a different POV. Looking forward to you starting the other GOW games! 😊

[@lijpootje]

Here is a video idea: The new game + modes makes these optional Berserkers even tougher with modified attack patterns. Real fun especially GNA en King berserker. That would mean finishing the game again, but you could only upload the Berserkers and GNA. Its the same for God of War 2018, especially Sigrun.

[@SenjenRodagu]

Finally we PC players can now Enjoy the Finale of GOW on PC 😆
