God of War Ragnarok Mixed on Steam Amidst PSN Controversy

God of War Ragnarok's Steam launch has been met with a mixed reception, largely due to Sony's controversial PSN account requirement. The game currently holds a 6/10 user rating, a result of numerous negative reviews from disgruntled fans.

The requirement for a PSN account to play the single-player title on PC has sparked significant backlash. Many players feel this is an unnecessary addition, particularly given the game's single-player focus. However, some users report successfully playing the game without linking a PSN account, suggesting inconsistencies in implementation. Reviews highlight both frustration with the PSN requirement and the game's quality, with some praising the compelling narrative.

One player commented on the frustrating situation, stating, "I get why people are upset about the PlayStation account stuff. It's frustrating when developers add online features to a single-player game. But I played fine without logging in. It's a shame these reviews might deter people from an amazing game." Another review highlighted technical issues potentially linked to the PSN requirement: "PSN account requirement ruins the experience. The game launched, and I logged in, but it got stuck on a black screen. It says I played for 1 hour 40 minutes, which is absurd."

Despite the negative reviews, positive feedback also exists, acknowledging the game's quality while attributing the negative scores primarily to the PSN mandate. One user wrote, "Great story, as expected. Most negative reviews are about the PSN requirement. Sony needs to address this. Otherwise, it's a top-tier PC game."

This situation mirrors Sony's previous experience with Helldivers 2, where a similar PSN requirement led to significant backlash and a subsequent reversal of the policy. Whether Sony will respond similarly to the God of War Ragnarok criticism remains to be seen.
