God of War Ragnarok has cleaned up at PlayStation's GOTY awards, and honestly, no one is surprised. 

As revealed on the official PlayStation Blog, God of War Ragnarok was a lot of people's favorite PlayStation game this year after. These results come from PlayStation's own Game of the Year competition which saw players vote for their favorite games of 2022. The voting was spread across 16 categories and included nominees like Elden Ring, Stray, The Last of Us Part 1, and more. 

Although the games above did garner a lot of votes, it's clear that they were no match for God of War Ragnarok, which ended up winning in 11 out of the 16 categories. There were also prizes for the runners-up, as most of the categories feature a Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze trophy (in typical PlayStation fashion). So even if the likes of Horizon Forbidden West or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 didn't win first place, they often placed somewhere below. 

Clearly, there are a lot of God of War Ragnarok fans out there. Not only did the Santa Monica Studio game do well in PlayStation's awards, it also made several appearances during The Game Awards 2022 and The Golden Joysticks 2022. That said, most of the time it lost out to the behemoth that is Elden Ring, which is also our Game of the Year for 2022.   

God of War Ragnarok still placed high up in our best games 2022 list though!

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.
