Ragnarok – Midgard
Ragnarok is a worthy sequel to the 2018 reboot, thanks to a better combat loop that dwarfs the scope of the original while retaining the moments that made the original such a great time. And of course, Ragnarok also improves upon the visuals of the first game, and we get to witness those improvements with this game’s rendition of Midgard. The Lake of Nine that was once flowing with clear water is frozen now that Fimbulwinter has kicked in, and the realm is filled to the brim with all sorts of structures that house interesting activities. Sony Santa Monica does a great job depicting a frozen and desolate place with Midgard, thanks to great use of cool colors like blue and white in the presentation. It’s not all show either, the realm is home to some great side quests and boss fights which should entice players to check every nook and cranny of this wonderful map.
