God of War Ragnarok's Steam reviews are currently "Mixed," sparking controversy over Sony's PSN account requirement. The PC port's launch has been met with a wave of negative reviews, primarily targeting Sony's decision to mandate a PlayStation Network account for playing the single-player title. This requirement has led many disgruntled fans to review-bomb the game, resulting in a 6/10 user score on Steam.
The backlash is significant, with numerous players expressing frustration over the perceived intrusion of online features into a single-player experience. However, some users report successfully playing the game without linking a PSN account, suggesting inconsistencies in the implementation. One review highlights this discrepancy, lamenting the negative impact of these reviews on the perception of an otherwise excellent game. Another user describes technical issues related to the PSN login process, further fueling negative sentiment.
Despite the negative feedback, positive reviews praising the game's narrative and gameplay still exist. These reviews explicitly attribute the negative ratings to the PSN requirement, separating the game's quality from the controversy surrounding its online component. This situation mirrors a previous incident with Helldivers 2, where Sony reversed a similar PSN requirement following considerable player outcry. Whether Sony will respond similarly to the God of War Ragnarok backlash remains to be seen.
