God of War Ragnarok has only been out for a few days, but fans have already decided that Sony has the superior version of Thor… sorry Chris Hemsworth. 

Without spoiling anything, in case you didn't know, the God of War series is based on both Greek and Norse mythology, with God of War Ragnarok opting for the latter this time around. As you probably already know, Thor is a prominent figure in both mythologies and has been portrayed in media in several different ways over the years. Following the long-awaited sequel's release though, it seems as though fans have a new favorite Thor. 

"God of War Thor is the best Thor in all media," one Twitter user boldly states. "I might be overreacting but Thor’s introduction and fight in God Of War Ragnarok is one of the best things I’ve ever experienced in media," another shared, "I’ve literally had to put the game down for 10 minutes to recover from THAT." That being one of God of War Ragnarok's most surprising moments (mild spoilers)

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
