Kratos looking cracking on the PC
As a console player I’ve always been a bit jealous of PC gamers.
While the hardest choice console users ever have to make is Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, PC gamers have to choose from the plethora of gaming machines available — and the better the computer, the more eye-watering the price.
But the results often speak for themselves. While more powerful consoles mean better gameplay and graphics, a high powered PC can elevate a game to something truly majestic.
Months ahead of the release of its highly anticipated sequel
— God of War: Ragnarök — PC gamers can finally get their hands on the next chapter of Kratos’story.
Retired to the snowy wilds of
Midgard, Scandinavia, Kratos stands older, calmer and wiser, mourning the recent loss of his wife and now the sole parent to his young son, Atreus.
The pair set off to scatter her ashes on a distant mountain. The Norse gods, however, have very different plans.
On the PC, God of War has never looked better, with the port providing a host of meaningful visual enhancements. The game supports play on ultrawide monitors — such as 21:9 aspect ratio — and has up to 4K resolution.
Of all of God of War’s achievements, it is the father-son relationship which is the most impressive. It is rich and loving and its growth doesn’t come at the cost of the game’s thumb-achingly superb gameplay.
This remains a masterpiece.
