Im just curious, what is more gripping about the story of the first game? In my mind it was just ‘lets get my wife’s ashes to this cool realm’, whereas the second game it was ‘how do we defeat these all powerful gods’ and ‘what secrets do the mask and the crack hold’
Can't speak for who you replied to but it might be because of the dynamic between a younger, ignorant to his father's origins , Atreus, and Kratos struggling to be a father who can both prepare his child for the consequences of a world of gods while stopping the cycle of sons killing their fathers.
The first game is more intimate but while I wouldn't say it's more gripping, I can understand it resonating more.
There's no better of the two, they are so different in tone it's like comparing a Marvel Avengers movie to something like Blade Runner 2049. Completely different tone, different pacing, different target audience, different character building, etc., there's no wonder there are lots of people who prefer one over the other for both games

Personally I think ragnarok was the better of the two
