God of War Ragnarök is facing backlash with disappointing Steam reviews due to Sony repeating the same mistake as with Helldivers 2.
The highly acclaimed God of War Ragnarök has made its way to PC! This should be a reason for celebration as this action-adventure is considered one of the best video games of all time.
Unfortunately, the launch on Steam is not going as smoothly as many PC gamers had hoped. Instead of jumping into divine battles, players are encountering a hurdle that has already caused significant criticism with Helldivers 2.
Annoyance over unnecessary PSN hurdles
One major point of critique revolves around the mandatory PSN account requirement. Players must log in with a PSN account to play Ragnarök, even if they purchased the game on Steam.
Many find this requirement unnecessary, especially since God of War: Ragnarök is a single-player game. Those who have never owned a PlayStation are particularly irritated by this demand.
Some players have reported difficulties in creating a PSN account, with challenges like age verification processes in certain regions.
Technical problems and performance issues
In addition to the PSN connection annoyance, players are also facing technical challenges. While the 2018 predecessor had a solid PC port, Ragnarök seems to have performance issues.
Players are experiencing stutters, frame drops, VRAM limit problems, and various graphics issues. Control problems have also been highlighted, with some users unable to control the camera with the mouse.
Despite these issues, the game itself is receiving positive reviews. Most negative Steam reviews are related to technical problems and the PSN requirement rather than the game’s content.
If you have also purchased the game on Steam, how has your experience with God of War Ragnarök been? Are you facing technical issues? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
