How long is God of War: Ragnarok Valhalla?

A single playthrough of God of War Ragnarok Valhalla’s main story should take you about 6 hours, according to HowLongToBeat. However, if you plan to immerse yourself deeper in the mystical realm of Valhalla and plan to go for a completionist run, you can expect to spend up to 8 hours.

Nonetheless, these hours may vary depending on your playthrough. Since Valhalla features a plethora of roguelike elements that allow you to tackle the different levels in a variety of ways, you might end up crunching more hours if you plan to experiment more.
