The realms feel so...boring in Ragnarok. The only 'unique' realms are Muspelheim and Niflheim, even Alfheim got a bit more boring to me.

I will say, I prefer Niflheim in Ragnarok though, as Niflheim isn't as interesting in Valhalla.

Let's start with some comparisons in Asgard.

GoW: R's Asgard

Valhalla's Asgard:

The latter is beautiful, gigantic trees reminiscent of world tree, Yggdrasil. The Bifrost. Odin's tower, where his throne sits high above the realms so he can watch over all.

It's just so much more unique and interesting. I liked what I saw of Asgard in Ragnarok, initially. But seeing a superior interpretation just makes me wish we got better!

While I did like the swampy areas at first due to it being such a great departure from the cold Midgard, I felt it didn't really pique any of my interest. It looked bland, boring, uninspired. The Dwarven homes, though, they looked pretty neat. And seeing mining equipment littered about was a nice touch.

Valhalla has an almost familiar backdrop with such unique, and gorgeous vistas that completely outdo the best Ragnarok has to offer.

And now, Jotunheim.
Ragnarok:https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/7/5/AARI02AAEJqv.jpg
Valhalla:

I will say, both were easily the least interesting places visually. They both look gorgeous, but in a...bland way. Not the biggest fan of either.
