With the God of War Ragnarok reviews from critics now in, the sequel from Santa Monica Studio is now officially Sony's highest-rated PS5 game so far. With a Metacritic rating of 94, it is also the second-best-rated game of 2022 overall — only Elden Ring has it beat by two points.

  2. Demon's Souls — 92
  3. The Last of Us: Part I — 88
  4. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart — 88
  5. Horizon Forbidden West — 88
  6. Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut — 87
  7. Gran Turismo 7 — 87
  8. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection — 87

In our own God of War Ragnarok PS5 review, we awarded the game a rare 10/10 rating and concluded: "God of War Ragnarok is phenomenal. Even amongst PlayStation Studios' typically stellar output it's a showpiece — a masterfully crafted game that smashes expectations at almost every turn." The game launches for PS5, PS4 next week on 9th November 2022, so these incredibly high review scores only make the wait to play more agonising.
