God of War Ragnarök Playtime
The release of God of War Ragnarök was one of the biggest events in gaming of 2022. Now that the game finally got released, fans can finally start their journey with Kratos and explore this great new game.
Players who only care about completing the main storyline and don't care about side quests will probably have to spend around 25 to 30 hours to beat the game. This is quite the average playtime for a game of this size, but still a little longer than its predecessor of 2018, which took about 20 hours on average to complete the main story.
You must be aware, that only rushing through the storyline will get quite hard really fast, because the difficulty level gets higher and higher with every main quest you take. Side quests are not only providing valuable content to the game's narrative, they also give you the chance to improve your skills and upgrade your gear, which obviously makes more advanced quests easier to complete.
