Fans are angry about the PC release of God of War Ragnarök, with some expressing their frustration through poetry.

Spartan Rage has been activated. Sony's latest decision to require PC players to have a PSN account has caused quite a stir, especially with the recent release of God Of War Ragnarök on PC.
While it's not uncommon for PlayStation games to make their way to PC, Sony has recently implemented a new policy that requires PC players to have a PlayStation Network account in order to play these games. This has caused inconvenience for many players, but it has also posed a problem for those in countries where PSN is not available. This policy was previously waived for the launch of Helldivers 2, but it has since been enforced for subsequent PC ports, including Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut.
While it may make sense for multiplayer games, the same policy has been applied to single-player titles, such as God Of War Ragnarök. Since its release last week, the game has received a wave of negative reviews due to the PSN requirement. Currently, the game has a 'Mixed' review average, with 69% of over 4,000 reviews being positive.
However, based on these reviews, it seems that there is some confusion as to whether a PSN account is actually necessary for the game. Some players claim to have been able to play the game without logging in at all. One review reads, "Incredibly frustrating to see the enforcement of a PSN account for a SINGLE PLAYER game. No matter how good the game is, you shouldn't be forced to do that." Another states, "I get why people are upset about the PlayStation account stuff. It sucks when developers stuff online features into a single-player game. But I don't even understand because I could play fine without logging in."
According to one reviewer, a PSN account is required when launching the game for the first time, but it is possible to bypass the login prompt in subsequent play sessions by backing up a specific file. This essentially allows players to play the game offline.
Despite this workaround, the frustration with the PSN requirement has been too much for some players. One user even left a poem expressing their feelings towards the issue. However, some negative reviews also mention performance issues, such as crashes, audio bugs, and stuttering.
God Of War Ragnarök on PC offers unlocked frame rates and higher graphics fidelity compared to its PlayStation 5 counterpart, along with ultra widescreen support. The next PlayStation game to be released on PC will be the remastered version of Until Dawn, which also requires a PSN account. This narrative-driven horror game is set to release on October 4 for both PC and PlayStation 5.
