God of War Ragnarok's PC Steam launch has been met with a mixed reception, largely due to Sony's controversial PSN account requirement. This mandatory linking has triggered a wave of negative reviews, impacting the game's overall user score.
Mixed User Reviews on Steam
Currently boasting a 6/10 user rating on Steam, God of War Ragnarok is facing a review-bombing campaign. Many fans are expressing their frustration with the PSN requirement, deeming it an unnecessary intrusion on a single-player experience.
The requirement, announced prior to launch, baffled many players. However, some users report successfully playing the game without linking a PSN account, suggesting inconsistencies in implementation. One user commented, "The PSN requirement is frustrating, especially in a single-player game. But I played fine without logging in. It's a shame this is overshadowing an amazing game." Another user's review highlights technical issues, stating, "The PSN requirement ruined the experience. The game got stuck on a black screen after login, and it falsely registered 1 hour 40 minutes of playtime."
Despite the negative reviews, many positive comments praise the game's quality, attributing the negative feedback solely to Sony's policy. One player stated, "The story is excellent, as expected. The negative reviews are almost entirely about the PSN requirement. Sony needs to address this; otherwise, the game is fantastic on PC."
Echoes of Past Controversies
This situation mirrors the backlash surrounding Helldivers 2, another Sony title requiring PSN account linking. Following significant player outcry, Sony reversed its decision for that game. Whether they will do the same for God of War Ragnarok remains to be seen.
