Like many open-world titles, the length of the game will differ depending on what your goals are, however, if you’re simply after the story and nothing else, then you can complete God of War Ragnarök in around 20 hours.

As you’d expect, this time flies when you’re experiencing the epic story that flows perfectly from cutscene to gameplay. Having the story be bite-sized is going to be ideal for all gamers including those who may not have the time to explore the other side content in the game.

This being the case you’re only scratching the surface of this game if you stop there as outside of the main path is a wealth of exploration to be done during your story adventure, and even more that becomes available post-game.

If you’re looking at exploring side content in Ragnarök then you’ll probably get somewhere around 45 hours of gameplay; around the same as in 2018’s God of War.
