God of War: Ragnarök is a GOTY contender

Sony Santa Monica had a GOTY hit on its hands with God of War (2018), now four years later, it looks like the team will repeat that success. The embargo has now lifted on God of War: Ragnarök reviews, painting a vastly positive outlook for the game, which launches next week. 

Sony sent out a lot of review keys for God of War: Ragnarök and that is reflected in the number of reviews that went live this afternoon. Right now, the game is currently sitting at a 94 overall rating on both Metacritic and Open Critic, based on more than 60 published reviews so far.

Depending on how many more reviews come out with higher or lower scores, God of War: Ragnarök could potentially catch up to Elden Ring, which has cemented its position with a 96 overall rating.

God of War: Ragnarök is due to release on PS4 and PS5 on the 9th of November. While the prequel is available on PC, there has been no PC version announced for Ragnarok at this time.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
