* HePannedItNowHeSucks: The review by [=IGN=] Korea gave the game a 6/10 and summarized it as a "quickly brewed [=DLC=]", being notably the most scathing review in an otherwise acclaimed round of reception. Within days of the review's release, the review and its writer were torn apart on social media, leading to the writer to address the ongoing harassment.

* CompleteMonster (including [[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 the 2018 game]]): [[Characters/GodOfWarSeriesOdin Odin]], the self-proclaimed [[BigBad All-Father of the Nine Realms]], wears the mask of a wise, friendly sage, but is actually a controlling {{narcissist}} who seeks ultimate knowledge and power, and [[ItsAllAboutMe only values those who further this cause]]. Lord of the Aesir who turned his people against their creator Ymir, Odin drowned the Jötnar race in Ymir's blood in a bigoted attempt to "[[FinalSolution cleanse]]" the Realms of Giants. Crafting Midgard and beginning a campaign of brutal conquest, Odin forced Svartalfheim to craft war machines by enslaving the dwarves; threw Helheim out of balance and caused the Desolation by corrupting the Valkyries into insanity; and lead repeated genocide attempts against both the realm of Vanaheim and the repopulated Jötnar. Odin created his "eyes" by having mortal followers [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] their [[WouldHurtAChild children]] so that [[AndIMustScream their souls would be trapped as Odin's "spies" forever]]. Odin has a knack for abusing and ruining those he "loves", from tricking the huntress Skaði into murdering her own father; to torturing Mimir daily for over a century; to damning his wife Freya to be trapped, defenseless, on Midgard while her people believe she abandoned them. Odin's immediate family fare no better, as he "thrashed" his son Thor to raise him into an alcoholic killing machine, and regularly throws his other children or grandchildren into danger while deriding them as "useless" if they die. In his quest to avert his prophesied doom from Ragnarök, Odin turns Kratos's son Atreus against his father; uses hundreds of Midgardians as {{human shield}}s; stabs the beloved Brok to death, and even [[OffingTheOffspring murders Thor]] when he refuses Odin's order to "not think; just kill who I tell you to kill!" A petty tyrant who mistreats everyone and everything in service of himself, Odin is described as never having loved anyone, and even when redemption is offered, [[RedemptionRejection he promises to never stop]] his mad quest for omnipotence.

* CompleteMonster: [[MoreDespicableMinion The Raven Keeper]] is a wretched hag responsible for the creation of the Eyes of Odin. To achieve this, the Raven Keeper had [[Characters/GodOfWarSeriesOdin Odin]]'s worshippers across the realms hang their [[WouldHurtAChild children]] to provide her their souls to twist into [[PoweredByAForsakenChild spies for Odin]], [[AndIMustScream keeping them fully aware of their torture]].

** When Sif confronts Thor after Heimdall's death and asks him if their daughter will be next to die for Odin, was she convincing Thor to finally kill Atreus after losing her patience with the boy, or was she trying to get Thor to turn on Odin without the Allfather or his cronies catching on and Thor [[PoorCommunicationKills severely misunderstood her]]? The fact that she shows absolutely no ill will towards Atreus after he escapes and even wishes him well in the postgame [[spoiler: once Thor and Odin are dead]] supports the latter.

** In a more one-sided UnknownRival sense, with ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3''. While most fans were resigned to ''Xenoblade'' losing Game of the Year, even some ''Ragnarök'' fans were shocked at it beating ''Xenoblade 3'' for Best Soundtrack, resulting in the latter picking up no awards. Fans of ''Xenoblade'' are quick to point out ''Ragnarök's'' perceived flaws, linearity and [[AnnoyingVideogameHelper excessive hand-holding]], are criticisms that have been levied at the [=JRPG=] genre for decades but The Game Awards' panel forgave them [[MoralMyopia because it wasn't made in Japan.]]

** [[spoiler:'''''TYR'''''. Not only is his moveset the most diverse of any boss and among the strongest, his fight comes with the added stress of being at the end of a 20+ minute gauntlet, and if you lose, it's back to the beginning. Things get especially bad when he whips out his khopesh swords and permanently blinds you when you're not standing in a certain area (which can also move). Good luck trying to beat ''Valhalla'' without Tyr making you smash your controller at least once.]]

* CantUnhearIt: Good luck trying to read about Norse Mythology without hearing Creator/RichardSchiff as Odin, Creator/RyanHurst as Thor, or Creator/ScottPorter as Heimdall. Same goes for characters introduced in the last game, like Creator/AlastairDuncan as Mimir, Danielle Bisutti as Freya/Frigg, Adam J. Harrington as Sindri, and Robert Craighead as Brok.

** Revenants, Wulvers and Dark Elf Lords are back, and they're as annoying as they were in the previous game. See 2018's [[YMMV/GodOfWarPS4 YMMV]] for details.
** Wyverns are about as tanky as an ogre, have oddly telegraphed attacks that seem designed to both exploit your limited view and require razor-sharp parrying abilities to have a chance of avoiding, and tend to only show up with crowds of other enemies that take your attention off of them.

** Nightmares and Tatzelwurms. See [[YMMV/GodOfWarPS4 the previous game's YMMV]] for details.
** Nokkens are complete pushovers on their own, going down in a few hits. What makes them annoying is their SuperEmpowering abilities, with their songs making mobs regenerate so quickly your only chance to kill them while under a Nokken spell is to either build their stun up or knock them off a ledge. By the way, their song does this to ''all'' enemies, including already-tanky enemies like Ogres, Wulvers, Heavy Draugr, and Vikens. To add to the annoying factor, while Nokkens have a pitiful amount of health, they compensate by sneakiness: they like to hide up on walls or in trees, with the only indicator of their location being a trail of colored smoke, and even when you've knocked them from their hiding place, unless you hit them with an arrow first, they'll dodge out of the way of most of your attacks.

This entry would belong on the Lollipop Chainsaw page more than this one, given that that game is the "hindsight" in this case. Besides, wrong game. Mimir got beheaded and resurrected in the 2018 game, not this one.

** Mimir being decapitated to save him from a FateWorseThanDeath, only to end up being resurrected as a severed head and hanging from the protagonist's belt as a DeadpanSnarker EquippableAlly for most of the game is amusingly similar to the ordeals of Nick Carlyle from ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw''.
