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 the accessibility features that help people with disabilities enjoy the game to the fullest possible experience. This is what encouraged player SightlessKombat, who is not only almost completely blind, but has also never played any major video games before.

This player recently started his career by playing some simple games that use sound technology to guide blind players, while he relied more on his friends and family to help him progress in the game. While SightlessKombat said that most of his achievements and progress in some of these games were through guesswork.

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

The game God of War Ragnarok helped this player get the most out of the experience and progress through the game by allowing the controller buttons to be reassigned to have specific and easy-to-use functions. There is also a Motor Accessibility system that helps the blind to reach the target and perform the task without needing to specify its location. In other words, the player does not need to be in front of the item to press the execution button and can instead execute the order 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 he 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 deal with it, and that it hopes that a future update to the game will provide some way to overcome this barrier.
