Updating my review after putting some good hours into it.

God of War is still an amazing franchise and Ragnarok is no exception. Ragnarok continues the story from the 2018 reboot but with improved visuals, gameplay, and an overall polish that was sorely needed from the first.

Unfortunately the game still suffers from "devs that aren't PC gamers" syndrome. The lack of a Field of View slider or offset or adjustment absolutely ruins the gameplay and my own physical health because, surprise!, PC gamers don't sit 15ft away from their monitors, we're 2ft away!

Due to the lack of a FoV slider this game causes severe headaches, or a borderline migraine, for me within 30 minutes of playing. This is a common issue for many PC gamers due to the fact that many game developers aren't PC gamers themselves.

Luckily there are mods out there now that allow for FoV adjustment AND it compensates for cinematic camera placement as well, so a little bit of tinkering solves my issue, but it does not solve the fact that Ragnarok does not natively support a simple feature.

We've had FoV adjustment in PC games for over two decades, not sure why game devs think they can skimp out on a very basic feature, especially when Ragnarok has so many accessibility options already built-in.
