God of War Ragnarök
Who to buy this for: The potential hack-and-slash fanatic.
Why: This is the newly released follow-up to the much loved 2018 revamp of the long-running series. So far, early reviews suggest that while God of War Ragnarök doesn’t innovate the genre the way that its predecessor did, it’s still an absolute banger. If you’re looking to get your friends addicted to video games in general, there’s probably not much better that you can throw at them.
How to play: Released November 9, Ragnarök is currently only on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. But the franchise is no longer exclusive to the PlayStation, with a PC version of its predecessor released this year, so it may not take long for this to end up on PC as well.
