God of War Ragnarok PC Launches to Mixed Rating on SteamGoW Fans Give Sony Chaos Over PSN Requirement
Following God of War Ragnarok's recent PC Steam launch, the game has sat on a 'mixed' user score rating. Tons of fans have been review-bombing God of War Ragnarok on Steam in response to Sony's much-hated-on PlayStation Network (PSN) Account requirement to play the game. Having recently released for the PC last week with still much heat on its heels, God of War Ragnarok currently has a 6/10 rating on the platform.
Sony had announced that God of War Ragnarok requires a PSN account to play the single-player action-adventure title on PC, which had left many fans dumbfounded and seemed to have motivated the recent negative review-bombing of the game on the platform.
While players have left negative reviews, a few remarked that they were able to play the game just fine without linking a PSN account. One player wrote, "I get why people are upset about the PlayStation account stuff. It sucks when developers stuff online features into a single-player game. But I don't even understand because I could play fine without logging in. It sucks because those reviews are gonna turn people away from an incredible game."
"PSN account requirement kills the excitement, launched the game and even logged in but it gets stuck on the Black screen, didn't play the game but it shows i played it for 1 hour 40 minutes, how ridiculous that can be," another player noted in their review on Steam.
However, despite the backlash, there are players that have left positive reviews on the game, commenting that they've enjoyed their experience playing it and additionally concluding that the negative reviews are caused merely by Sony's decision. "Good story as expected. Players are giving negative reviews mostly for PSN. Sony has to look carefully now into this matter.Otherwise the game is top notch in PC to play," one player commented.
Sony faced a similar situation with Helldivers 2 in the past months when it required a PSN account to play its shooter title developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. Consequently, Sony backtracked on its decision following widespread backlash and canceled Helldiver's 2 PSN account linking requirement.
