    God of War Ragnarok Players on PS5 Can Finally Tone Down Puzzle Hints in Game Version 06.00

    Oh boy.

    Sony Santa Monica has finally released Patch 6 for the PlayStation 5 version of God of War Ragnarok that tones down companion puzzle hints (and adds PS5 Pro support).

    Game version 06.00 is now live and, according to a blog post, includes a handful of bug fixes alongside the gameplay upgrades added in the PC version of God of War Ragnarok six weeks ago. These are, most notably, the addition of audio descriptions and the aforementioned ability to reduce companion puzzle hints.

    Though 2022’s God of War Ragnarok was incredibly well received, selling a whopping 11 million copies in less than three months and earning a 10/10 in IGN’s review, one gripe players had was with companions throwing out puzzle solutions before players had a chance to solve them themselves.

    The Best PS5 Games

    <h2>The Top 25 PS5 Games</h2> <p> The first quarter of 2024 is in the bag, and that means it’s time for us to update IGN’s Best 25 PlayStation 5 games list! But what do we mean by “best?” To be very clear, this is not an attempt at an “objective” ranking that will indisputably line up with the tastes of gamers of all types. That, sadly, can never exist; when one person’s epic RPG masterpiece is another’s boring and impenetrable slog, they’ll never see eye to eye on where that game should rank against others of different genres. Even the personal lists of two people who love the same types of games will rarely line up exactly.<br />Instead, this is a list of games that IGN’s crew of PlayStation gamers recommend as a group, ranked using our Face-Off tool so that everybody got to weigh in equally on which games they thought should be placed above others. It’s presented in the spirit of recognizing games we love, and encouraging others to try them if you haven’t.<br />With only 25 slots to fill, there are tons of amazing recent games that didn’t float to the top – but that doesn’t mean we don’t think they’re awesome, too! Everybody who participated in voting has tons of personal favorites that didn’t gain quite enough traction with the group to make the cut, which is inevitable when there are this many games and so many different perspectives.<br />Bear in mind that while the PS5 is a powerhouse that can play any PlayStation 4-compatible game, for the sake of clarity and sanity our criteria for this list narrowed the pool down to focus on games that have PlayStation 5-specific versions. So while we still love games like the 2016 Doom, God of War, Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, and many, many more, until they get that update they’re relegated to the PS4 list – and of course many will have a spot on our list of the Top 100 Games of All Time.<br />Most importantly, remember that this list is just our group’s perspective and is no more “right” or “wrong” than a list that you create yourself. Speaking of which: if you have your own ranking you’d like to put out into the world, we’d like to invite you to make your own top 25 (or top 100!) list of PlayStation games using our Playlist tool and share it in the comments.<br />Most recent game updates were made on March 28, 2024.” src=”https://res.6chcdn.feednews.com/assets/v2/4121eb5de63b3b718ea7e0cc069981eb?source=nlp&quality=uhq&format=webp&resize=720″ data-image-width=”888″ data-image-height=”500″></p> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <h3>IGN’s Twenty Questions – Guess the game!</h3> <h3>IGN’s Twenty Questions – Guess the game!</h3> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>Sony took action almost two years later by releasing a feature that would “reduce the frequency” of these hints, though only released it for the PC version upon its September 19 release, until now. Alongside <a href=the PS5 Pro support for God of War Ragnarok comes the reduced puzzle hints, but these are available in all versions of the game and not just on Sony’s $699.99 console.

    Features exclusive to that behemoth include the ability to run the Favor Quality mode at 60 frames per second, compatibility with PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, and more. The full patch notes are available below.

    Sony Santa Monica made clear it was aware of the frustration with companion hints way back in February 2023, with narrative director Matt Sophos saying “the timing for the first hint was too aggressive and should have had a much longer countdown timer before something comes up.” It has finally addressed the issue after 21 months.

    In IGN’s God of War Ragnarok review, we said: “God of War Ragnarok is an almighty achievement and creates a new high that makes many of its peers look mortal by comparison.”
