After nearly two years of being a PlayStation exclusive, God of War: Ragnarök was released on PC two days ago on September 19. This highly anticipated port allows PC players to finally experience the sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018), which follows the journey of Kratos and his son Atreus in a Norse mythology setting.

In terms of performance, the PC port has, naturally, been well-received. However, two aspects have given rise to a flurry of complaints to the point of the game being review-bombed. Large game files are one, while the other is the mandatory requirement of having a PSN account to play.

The first one is very understandable: large game files have been an issue in the recent AAA gaming space with poorly optimised games needing more space than they should. This, in turn, makes it a nightmare to play for people who can’t afford to break the bank to afford terabytes of storage.

And as for the requirement of a PSN account, it's Helldivers 2 all over again. In all fairness, Sony did disclose that you would need a PSN account to access the game before its PC launch. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that a single-player PC game should not require a PSN account and that you simply can’t make a PSN account in many countries. What this means is that a bunch of players simply aren’t able to play the game in their current state, even if they were willing to make an account.

Besides these two problems, the PC launch hasn’t received any other major complaints yet. It runs well and feels very good to play.
