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 sparked a wave of negative reviews, impacting the game's overall user score.
Steam User Reviews Reflect PSN Backlash
Currently sitting at a 6/10 user rating on Steam, God of War Ragnarok is suffering from review bombing. Many players are expressing their frustration with the forced PSN account login, viewing it as an unnecessary intrusion on a single-player experience.
Interestingly, some users report successfully playing the game without linking their PSN account, suggesting inconsistencies in the implementation. One review highlights this discrepancy: "I understand the anger about the PSN requirement, but I played without logging in. It's a shame; these negative reviews will deter people from an amazing game." Another user describes technical issues, stating, "The PSN requirement ruined the experience. The game got stuck on a black screen, and it falsely reported 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. A positive review states, "The story is fantastic, as expected. The negative reviews are almost entirely about the PSN requirement. Sony needs to address this; otherwise, the PC port is excellent."
Sony's Repeated PSN Controversy
This situation mirrors the backlash Sony faced with Helldivers 2. The requirement for a PSN account prompted similar negative reactions, ultimately leading Sony to reverse its decision. Whether Sony will respond similarly to the God of War Ragnarok controversy remains to be seen.
