The Deepest Dive - God Of War Ragnarok Part 1
🕑 Added 2022-11-17 14:15:01 +0000 UTC
Welcome to The Deepest Dive on God of War Ragnarok! This is it, folks. Thanks to your help, we're starting our adventure and creating the best, most thorough discussion about the game on the internet. The first discussion covers everything in the new PlayStation game up until you complete the quest "Old Friends", which is roughly 7 hours into the game. We talk about the game's opening hours, the evolution of Atreus as a character, how combat has changed, our favorite boss fights, and where we think the story is going.
In this episode, MinnMax's Ben Hanson (whose code was provided by PlayStation) is joined by Suriel Vazquez (@surielvazquez), Jill Grodt from The Indie Informer (@finruin), and Delayed Input's Kyle Bosman (@kylebosman).

For the next discussion, we're covering everything in the game up through the quest called "Forging Destinies" and we're collecting your comments on Patreon on Sunday, 11/20. There is a lot to cover here with a ton of optional side content, so you don't need to finish the segment to submit a comment. Just leave a comment on whatever you've played thus far. As always, thanks for supporting The Deepest Dive format and any help spreading the video online is appreciated.

Loved the episode! Quick correction: the “extend puzzle timing” accessibility setting doesn’t impact Mimir and Atreus’ hints whatsoever. Polygon even reached out to the devs to confirm this. It just gives you a more forgiving window for time-based puzzles. I think some people thought it had an impact because the game is somewhat inconsistent about just how aggressively it feeds you hints from puzzle to puzzle, so I could see someone flipping this on and thinking it changed the hints, when it doesn’t.
