HOW LONG IS GOD OF WAR?
If you're only looking to experience the main story of Kratos and Atreus' journey to the mountain, God of War is as long as 21 to 22 hours on average. However, for those aiming to earn all of the Steam achievements and PlayStation's Platinum trophy, there are numerous side quests and collectables. The most time-consuming of the latter will be Odin's Ravens, 51 of which are scattered across the game's various realms to find.
Side quests, listed as "Favors" include missions assisting your dwarven friends Brok and Sindri, helping out some dragons, and taking on the nefariously brutal Valkyries. If you only wish to casually dabble outside of the campaign whilst exploring the gorgeous in-game world, God of War can take you 30-40 hours to beat. For any 100% completionists, you'll need as long as 51-53 hours altogether.
Although the God of War Ragnarök release date is coming soon to PlayStation consoles, the 2018 game's minimal completion time certainly makes for a manageable playthrough all in all. That's everything you need to know, courtesy of our "how long is God of War?" guide.
