A completely blind player can play God Of War Ragnarok and make great progress in it, thanks to the professional accessibility features that have been implemented in the game.

When God of War Ragnarok was announced, one of the first features that caught everyone's attention and was widely promoted was its accessibility features, which help people with disabilities get the best experience possible. This was what encouraged SightlessKombat player, who is not only almost completely blind but has also never played a major video game before.

This player recently began his career by playing some simple games that use sound technology to guide blind players, while relying more on his friends and family to help him progress. SightlessKombat, meanwhile, stated that most of his achievements and progress in some of these games were based on guesswork.

God of War Ragnarok has many visual tweaks you can make to improve your experience as a partially blind person. You can add reverse colors to every character that partially blind people can draw, such as enemies, bosses, hazards, backgrounds, and more. However, this player, being completely blind, cannot take advantage of these features. Instead, accessibility relies on other custom game inputs.

God of War Ragnarok helped this player maximize their experience and progress through the game by allowing them to rearrange the controller's buttons to have specific, easy-to-use functions. There's also a Motor Accessibility system that helps blind people reach the target and perform the task without needing to pinpoint their location. In other words, the player doesn't need to be in front of the item to press the execute button and can instead execute the command as soon as they enter a specific range.

Additionally, there is a voice navigation system in the game, which guides the player to the goal, the path they can take, and the turning and movement points.

All of these elements combined allowed SightlessKombat to play long stretches of the game without the need for external aids, and he described the experience as “a wonderfully liberating experience.”

The only situation where he constantly needs help is with puzzles, for which there is unfortunately little help available for the blind.

SightlessKombat also indicated that it is having issues with skill trees and menus, requiring the help of sighted people to navigate, and that it hopes a future game update will provide some way to overcome this barrier.
