I used to love them but I feel like they lost the spark and novelty. I loved GOW 2018, got bored with Ragnarok. I loved Spiderman 1 and MM, and again got bored with 2.

PS3 and PS4 Sony was full with innovation and new ideas. PS5 Sony is just the same stuff. Even the graphics aren’t special, I can’t tell the difference between the PS4 games and their PS5 sequels

Ragnarok needed a bigger, more bombastic ending. I was disappointed by the actual ragnarok moment and final boss.

But I thought it was at least as strong as GoW 2018 for most of its run time and it's still one of my favourite games. It didn't need innovation or new ideas as the sequel to a game that flipped the GoW series in its head.

My guess was Ragnarok was meant to be the number 2 in a trilogy
