This is why fans have been rooting for the game so much. Unlike GOW Ragnarok, Elden Ring provides a much wider sense of being and purpose than God of War Ragnarok and its plot. Thus, there is a debate going on between fans for the game.

One this more to notice here is the fact that the PlayStation fanbase is really supportive of God of War Ragnarok, but despite all this, Elden Ring is also a masterpiece that has been the talk of the community from the start of the year and thus is the reason, why it holds the most priority in the fandom.

Additionally, God of War Ragnarok is a brilliant game but is a more focused storyteller than a video game. Elden Ring, on the other hand, has the ability to prove itself as a game. Although, the graphics for the game can be a little cartoony at times, in comparison to God of War Ragnarok, undoubtedly, the game has a strong hand in telling more visually than any other game in the entire list.
