Finished up Ragnarok last night. Still kinda processing it. The war looked epic, but kinda felt... brief.
The final bosses sort of just happen I guess. I think I was expecting some sort of period between the Thor & Odin fights instead of them being back to back encounters, & they weren't near the spectacle that the Baldor fights from the previous game or this game's opening Thor fight were. I was honestly thinking by the end that they were going to try & "defy prophecy" one more time by stopping Asgard's destruction by stopping Surtr, just so it could have that big spectacle fight to end it out, & it just never comes.
Still a pretty awesome game though. I don't think it's quite as focused as the first game (the last game really fleshed out Midgard, while this game does a lot of realm hopping where some of the realms still feel very small/not very fleshed out) but it's definitely more refined from a gameplay experience kind of way (a more varied selection of mid-bosses, and a greater number of bespoke boss fights as well), and it still has a ton of interesting & fleshed out side quests to complete.

@RR529 Definitely agree. Ragnarok does certain things better, but the focus of the first game makes it a more streamlined experience. I think a major issue is that Ragnarok wants to do a lot story-wise, too much for a single game. There's quite a bit of mythology that they've just skipped over or never even touched, which is a shame. But I understand them wanting to move on to something else now that games have these 4-5 year development cycles.
Actually I changed my mind about getting "Resident Evil 4" on PS4 this month, I'll hold off until they release an "unlock-all key" on the PlayStation Store, like I did with 2 and 3 remakes.
@JadeKitsune
You can play something else to make you feel better.
Maybe some light genre such as farming sim games or 3D platformer games or party games.
@Anti-Matter I promised myself I'd play the first RE I ever beat.
Well actually, I've beaten the following:
Resident Evil 4: Wii (used a 100% save file downloaded), PS2 (Action Replay for infinite ammo and health)
Resident Evil 5: PS3 (had an online partner with infinite ammo help me)
Resident Evil Revelations: 3DS (used StreetPass to give me tons of ammo)
Resident Evil 2 Remake: PS4 (bought an unlock-all key on the store and barreled through with my infinite launcher)
Resident Evil 3 Remake: PS4 (see previous line)
I've been procrastinating getting through One Piece Odyssey (got a warning that the next chapter consists of several high level encounters with no save option in-between, so I've been waiting until I really have some time to sit down & play), but looks like I'll need to power through it.

So I've played about an hour of Code Vein. The bulk of my enthusiasm was for this to be another game to play online with my brother. The problem is...the mistle becomes unavailable in co-op play.
What?
What's the point of playing co-op if access to your progression is cut off until you disband from your co-op session?
That's stupid.
It means that co-op was an afterthought and simply bolted to the single player after the fact.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,537 games (as of December 22nd, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
What's the point of playing co-op if access to your progression is cut off until you disband from your co-op session?
The idea is that coop is for help on tough boss fights like in other souls like games rather than a full 2 player experience. The DLC is best for co-op as most of the campaign bosses are pretty easy.
Stick with it though, it's got a great story and you can learn some really broken blood codes if you're struggling.
By the way, here's all the Platinum trophies I've got, all from PS4 games (in order):
1. Marvel's Spider-Man (12/30/20)
2. Late Shift (1/1/21)
3. Batman: The Telltale Series (1/1/21)
4. Ratchet & Clank (1/12/21)
5. Day of the Tentacle Remastered (2/25/21)
6. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (11/14/21)
7. The Lego Movie 2 Video Game (1/6/22)
8. The Wolf Among Us (2/13/22)
I actually started a new PS account in December 2020 as I decided to start fresh (and start collecting trophy screenshots)
