I'm not gonna go too deep into what makes this game great or any spoilers that shows you why this is a masterpiece of a storyline.
    If you haven't played this game, i truly recommend you to play through it because i can assure you, if you enjoy an epic storyline with amazing action packed moments whilst also having some slower character developing and emotional moments for you to feel for the characters, then this game is gonna grab you from the get go.
    And if you have played through this one, i also advise you to playthrough the old ones, they're different and more focused on action packed content than an immersive story but they also are really great games in their own with a great story aswell.
    Go ahead, Spartan. May you slay your enemies with discipline.    … Expand

    It's a perfect ten for me boss.

    Gameplay is solid and meaty - best melee and shield combat since Dark Souls. The sound is stellar! Usually, I don't even notice but the mix of voice and music is stunning.

    But it's the story that really pulls you in. Kratos and his 'boi' are constantly chatting but it's never boring or forced.

    In summary: it's amazing what a talented gaming dev team can pull off. I look at crud AAA games like Far Cry 6, Cyberpunk 2077 (bugs), Deathloop and MANY others with disdain now. Why can't everyone make games like Santa Monica Studios? Now I'm sad because every other game is going to seem like garbage until GOW: Ragnarok releases in 2022 (and possibly a lot later for us PC gamers).

    Buy it and love it, my vote for best modern game of all time.    … Expand

    Masterpiece of gaming, finally on PC.
    No regrets buying it.
    Did not observe any bug or glitch, which is quite surprising at the moment.

    The story is great.
    The characters are developing.

    Gameplay is neat.

    Graphics are beautiful.

    Happy it got ported to PC, and a broader audience is able to enjoy it. The only real addition is the ultra wide mode, which makes it look like a movie.

    About the game itself, it's visually stunning storytelling with great combat mechanics which can be quite challenging at the hardest difficulty. It's one of those few games that go up to 11.

    In terms of history, sound, gameplay, etc... the game is the same of the 2018 PS4 version, so, it's absolutely beautiful and perfect. I don't know you can't really expect less than an awesome grade.
    I would recommend buying it on a "third-party" store e.g. Instant Gaming, Eneba, Gamivo, etc. as 50€ seems like too much for me for a 4 years old game and these stores are selling it for 30€ but it's Sony "re-releasing" a game, you can't really expect it to be cheap. At least they're not as expensive as Nintendo.    … Expand

    God of War is a lavishly produced game, from its tectonic boss fights to the fastidious attention to detail that enables its seamless storytelling. And for a tale about a grumpy god who spends his time filleting mythical warriors with whirling knives that bear a curious resemblance to the Unreal Engine logo, God of War is refreshingly human.

    DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT LIKE THIS GAME AT ALL, BUT I'M GIVING IT 10/10, SO YOU CAN'T ACCUSE ME IN REVIEW BOMBING, SO FOR THAT REASON ALONE, PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ WHY I DON'T LIKE IT.

    Let's just start with the fact that, whenever i started playing video games and God of War 2018 happened to be the leading way in video game making and basically most of the games would have been like    DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT LIKE THIS GAME AT ALL, BUT I'M GIVING IT 10/10, SO YOU CAN'T ACCUSE ME IN REVIEW BOMBING, SO FOR THAT REASON ALONE, PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ WHY I DON'T LIKE IT.

    Let's just start with the fact that, whenever i started playing video games and God of War 2018 happened to be the leading way in video game making and basically most of the games would have been like God of War 2018, i would have choose different hobby. I'm dead serious, if that was the main appeal of gaming, i would have never even cared about video games, that's how much i dislike this game. Or maybe dislike is wrong word, maybe i just don't care about it at all and that would be okay, because there's thousands of games i don't care about, the problem is that God of War is treated by some people as something deep, amazing, innovative, masterpiece, one of the best games of all time, etc. I disagree strongy disagree with all these statements. It just isn't any of these thing, no matter how you look at this game.

    I have a strong feeling that people who hype this game up have never even played actual masterpieces like GTA 4 (2008), Resident Evil 4 (2005), Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 (2010/2018). I can give examples even about "just good" games like for example Days Gone (2019), i enjoy that game about million times more and i think it's way, way more innovative than God of War 2018. Even Final Fantasy 7 Remake is better game than God of War 2018.

    So what's the deal? Why the hype? Is it just people following hype without even caring? With same logic Studios managed to create so big hype for Cyberbug2077, that even when it released as extremely buggy and broken mess, some people still refused to believe that it's bad and some to this day call Cyberpunk 2077 best game of all time, because they just can't handle reality after months (even years) of extreme hype.

    So what really is God of War 2018? It's a game with heavy focus on movie-like long cutscenes (not as bad as Uncharted 4, but still, a lot of cutscenes). Other aspect of this game is extremely simplistic, you just smash 100s of enemies with you EPIC axe. And of course there's boss fights with HUGE enemies, like in literally every modern game (not an issue by the way), just pointing out what this game is. So by that logics, where's Guardians of the Galaxy GOTY? It's basically the same game with guns as weapons. I'm asking that ironically, because none of these imo deserve to be called anything extraordinary, fun? Maybe. Nothing special tho. But here's the thing, these cutscene heavy, hack and slash games were never the reason why i started to play video games. Never. So to put it short, my main issue isn't the fact that these games exist, my issue is that God of War 2018 out of all these games is treated as something extraordinary, better than all the others, not even in same genre, people in general call it best game of all time. That is my issue. In my opinion there are so many better games, way deeper, way more gameplay and less cutscenes and to me it feels like, most of these God of War fans don't even know about these games. So yeah, i'm not angry, i'm just disappointed.    … Expand

    PC gamers have all of the graphics options they could really want, and the game's origins mean that even fairly modest gaming PCs can push for high frame rates and resolutions.

I loved all the dialogues throughout the game and they talk pretty much all the time.

    The only issue I had with this game is the beggning, I think at the start the game is too difficult, even for me, a Souls series fan. You don't have many moves and you have to fight enemies that you don't have yet the tools to deal with them, like enemies that shoot projectiles but you don't have the skill to redirect their projectiles or you have to kill Nightmares but they need the Chaos Blade for easy killing or the Witches needs more arrows that Atreus have. But once you arrive at mid-game these problems simply go away and in the late game, the game becomes easy. BTW, I've played all the game on the 2nd hardest difficulty.

    Another thing that I really think they need to improve is the number of enemies, especially more epics bossies. This game has few bosses throughout the story, I think it is the GOW with the less quantity of epic bossies (Gods, Dragons, mythologic creatures). In the late game we can fight the nine Valkyries, but don't let this number fool you, their moveset is practically identical, they are just a cheap reskin. But the fight against them is really cool, it is a really good late-game challenge. It is a shame there aren't so many more bosses because the combat system is awesome.    … Expand

Yıllardır övülen ama ps4'üm olmadığı için bir türlü deneyimleyemediğim bu eseri sonunda oynadım. Harika bir büyüme, baba-oğul, kendini bulma/tanıma hikayesi. Yola kendini ispatlama peşindeki bir oğlan olarak başlayan çocuğumuz, bu süreçte önce kendini kabul ettiriyor, sonra tanrı olduğunu öğrendiğinde kelimenin gerçek anlamıyla tanrı kompleksine girip yoldan çıkma eğilimi gösterirken babası tarafından tekrar disipline ediyor ve hak yolu buluyor. Çocuğun annesine, kendisine ve babasına dair gerçekleri öğrendikçe karakterinin değişmesi, gösterdiği tepkiler şahane. Çocuğumuza karşı soğuk ve otoriter bir baba olarak başladığımız hikaye, yol ve macera boyunca dönüşüme uğruyor. Sonunda onu bir savaşçı ancak daha fazlası bizden daha iyi bir varlık olarak kabul ediyoruz. Onu bir yandan savaşçı ve iyi biri olmak yolunda disipline ederken, bir yandan da kendine güvenmesini sağlıyoruz. Tabii o da bizi dönüştürüyor ve etrafımıza daha duyarlı birisi haline geliyoruz. Hakikaten birbirini pek tanımayan baba-oğul hikayesine şahane bir örnek.

    Oyun mekanik olarak da şahane. Combat'ta sadece 2 silah ve yumrukla yapılabilecek şeyler neredeyse sınırsız. Oyunun kaosun kılıçlarını size verme şekli, o anki atmosfer, o ana kadar hiç çaktırmaması falan efsane. Vuruşlar o kadar iyi görünüp tok duruyor ki gerçekten savaştaymışız gibi hissettiriyor. Vuruş hissi çok iyi yani. Geliştirmeler, skiller, geliştirmelerin sadece istatistiği artırmayıp aynı zamanda oynanışı da etkilemesi falan şahane. Bunun yanında deli gibi bir loot oyunu olmaması da yerinde olmuş.

    Açık dünyada yan görevler ve yapılacak etkinlikler bana az geldi. Dünyası da çok büyük değil zaten. Daha fazla ve hikayeli yan görev barındırıp daha geniş bir dünya olsa oyuna bir puan daha fazla verirdim. Tabii bu dünyası veya görevler sıkıcı ya da kendini tekrar ediyor demek değil. Oyun biraz metroidvania olduğundan, açık dünyayı keşfederken açamadığınız bir kapı ya da geçemediğiniz bir engeli ana hikayede ilerleyip edindiğiniz bir skill ya da eşya ile geçmeniz gerekiyor. Bu da her yeri keşfetmeye çalışmanıza ve sonunda kendinizi ödüllendirilmiş hissetmenize neden oluyor. Yan görevlerin hikayesi eh işte, ana görevlerin hikayesi çok güzel ama o da bana kısa geldi. Oyun tam da yeni ısınıyor dediğim noktada bitti. Ben Baldur'dan daha güçlü birileriyle, örneğin Thor'la kapışacağız ve baş düşmanımız o olacak sanıyordum. Oyunun bittiğine hakikaten çok şaşırdım. Henüz ortasında falanım sanıyordum. Çünkü diyar değiştirilen yerde daha gidilecek tonla yer vardı.

    Valkür'ler dışında pek bir boss savaşı yok. 2 defa Baldur'la 2 defa da Thor'un çocuklarıyla dövüşüyoruz. Ejderhayı saymıyorum bile, vadettiğinden daha azını veriyor. Düşman çeşitliliği fena değil. Ancak dövüş mekanikleri o kadar iyi ki boss'lara ve düşman çeşitliliğine dair tüm bu defektlere rağmen çok keyif alıyorsunuz. Bazen düşmanları öldürürken çıkan bitiriş animasyonları çok güzel, her düşman türü için farklı animasyon var, ancak o tür için sadece bir tane var. Bu da etkileyiciliği azaltıp, tekrar hissine neden oluyor.

    Oyun yan görev yaparken veya açık dünyada gezinirken ana hikayeden kopma problemini çok güzel gidermiş. Yanımızdaki kelle Mimir mitoloji ve oyunun evreni hakkında sürekli hikayeler anlatıp bilgiler vererek sizi bir şekilde oyunun içinde tutuyor.

    Oyunun optimizasyonu çok iyi. 3. parti oyunlar bile konsoldan pc'ye portlanırken özellikle çıkışının ilk bir ayında problem yaşatırken God of War ilk günden itibaren sorunsuz çalışıyor. Ekran kartımdan beklediğimin üstünde bir performans aldım.    … Expand

Not to forget the difficulty of the enemies will be increased in the New Game + mode. Even though there are no DLCs for the game which is kind of sad but that does stop you from having fun after you have finished the game. Overall I would like to say that the game is amazing and the story adds on the lore of all the previous games. There are some plot holes which are still unanswered or explained by the story writers/developers of the game but I hope they answer those things when the new GOD of WAR game is released which is GOW Ragnarök.… Expand

    Now Legendary series is on PC. As a fan of original trilogy I recommend to play this game for eveyone. We really miss for such good AAA titles previos year, even it's just a port from other platform.

    Graphics (9/10): great graphics, looks better than original, run smothly on average PC's no blur. Awesome job for people who worked on port and orginal game. Game is thrilling as other GoW games - different landscapes, huge monsters and bosses, very detailed world and design.

    Gameplay (9/10): For me it's an icon for all action adventures - thrilling story with many mechanics, and good end game, without annoying quests - just pure challenge for mind and skills. The only thing I don't like - enemies are same((( but with different magic types(ice, poison, fire) I also liked new axe, I think even more than old chain blades.And it's great, because I don't believe that I like something that good old weapn.

    Stroy (9/10): The end of the story is a bit frustrating, because it's not complete and we need to wait for Ragnarok, but I like the idea how they try to show Cratos more from the human side. On the other hand other characters are not so outstanding and memorable for the story. And actually it feels like they can't do anything to main heroes and are part of the history only for background to move personal dramatic story for Cratos and his son.

    All in all - best PC game of the last half year and best GoW on PC) Must play!    … Expand

    Pros-
    New graphical enhancements make it look even better than the console versions
    Still holds up as the game of a generation both narratively and functionally
    UI lends itself more to mouse and keyboard

    Cons-
    Performance can dip unexpectedly (can't give it a perfect score but will when this is inevitably patched out)

I've found it very rewarding for an action-adventure title. The story in engrossing: the somewhat robotic warrior of the title has to come to grips with a young son whose ego vacillates among his three aspects. Not an ideal dad, but VERY sincere! The one promising woman in the story is many things, none of which appears on the surface. She certainly promises more than she delivers, but her complexity is an important part of the story. You may wish to play through the first time on easy difficulty just to enjoy the story and learn the mechanics.

    Then raise the difficulty and play a new game, keeping your old armor and attributes. This time, the story will be a lot more clear because you'll know who everybody is from the start, and you know the significance of certain objects and events. You'll also be better able to learn the mechanics as the challenges proliferate. Most importantly, you can pursue ALL the little side adventures the game offers. Just as an example, Lake of the Nine has numerous coves and inlets to explore. As various events occur, the lake level goes down, revealing even more adventures that were previously under water. Pursuing all these side objectives will peak your armor and skills so you can attempt some of the harder boss fights in the game.

    God of War for PC seems a very fine port. I've only found one minor visual problem in sixty hours of play. There's a fine guide, as usual, at https://www.ign.com/wikis/god-of-war-2018.

With this new attitude and new Norse mythology era, newcomer PC players like me won't be the lonely stranger in the party.

    Every scene that features Jörmungandr in it... How shall I put it? Were grandly rousing. It was game directing perfection. An example of how to make the player feel little, insignificant and in dismay.

God of War had always been the one that got away. When I heard it was coming to pc I was beyond excited, and a little surprised when I realized it was never actually spoiled for me. Anyway, combat is great. It's fluid and feels very raw and can vary pretty wildly depending on what kind of move sets you have for your axe. I swear I could sit for hours just throwing my axe and pressing Y to have it fly back to kratos' hand. It's like popping bubble wrap, or peeling off that plastic lining when you buy a new phone. The story is really good as well, I won't spoil it, I will just say I was fully engaged. Sound is perfect, from the sound the axe makes when it is thrown into enemy flesh to the ambient sounds of the world around you. Speaking of the world around you, I used to think RDR2 was the pinnacle of beauty when it came to world design and I suppose it still is when it comes to being in our own reality but I have never seen more beautiful settings than I have in God of War. That photo mode was getting a work out while I was playing. I admit, chances are most people have already played this so what I am saying probably isn't new to anyone, but if you are like me and had to wait or even if you are someone who didn't like the original series (I didn't, sorry hardcore fans I was never into hack and slash games when i was younger) but you wan't a great story and solid gameplay then you gotta try it.

    Good performing PC port, but not without flaws (on release).

    On PC, God of War plays really well thanks to being a very competent port in many aspects, but this is another port from PlayStation that launches with bad mouse input, much like HZD did in 2020 (Edit: Feb. 12th: Precise Mouse Input has been added, working nicely). The main issue this game presents to the PC user is the    Good performing PC port, but not without flaws (on release).

    On PC, God of War plays really well thanks to being a very competent port in many aspects, but this is another port from PlayStation that launches with bad mouse input, much like HZD did in 2020 (Edit: Feb. 12th: Precise Mouse Input has been added, working nicely).

    The main issue this game presents to the PC user is the terrible Negative Mouse Acceleration it has, because the developers mapped gamepad input to the mouse camera and, in addition to that, it came out with very strong negative acceleration, meaning that very slow movements will quickly increase in speed, and swiping the mouse pretty fast will make the camera completely stop, therefore doing quick flicks will be detrimental to the player.
    This needs to be fixed, because other than that, the game plays pretty well on Keyboard and Mouse and, even with this issue, one can get used to moving the mouse in very controlled motions and constant speed.

    I completed (100%) the game on Hard difficulty, exclusively using Mouse and Keyboard so…even with negative acceleration, any experienced player can adapt to it, for sure, but it needs to be fixed.

    Moving on, the game also launched with some Memory Leak issues, which I personally didn’t encounter, and a couple patches have already been released, addressing some of the issues, and I do expect a few more patches for the mouse input, etc.

    On the Performance side of things, which is crucial to any PC game review, the game runs quite well on my Ryzen 5 3600 and [b]RTX 3060 Ti; At Original (Console) settings, it’s pretty easy to run at 100-120 FPS (120 FPS lock is not completely possible, but close, due to being a little bit CPU bound at times) and, if we want stable 60 FPS or anything in between, higher graphical settings are of course doable, pretty much.

    Ultra Shadow Quality is pretty demanding due to the huge amount of new shadows included in many areas where the original console settings didn’t have any or they were a lot weaker. This setting can impact performance around 20% or more, depending on the area, so be aware of that.
    Lowering Atmospherics, Reflections and Model Quality one notch down from Ultra to High can also provide another decent boost, and paired with DLSS (and DLDSR, which works with DLSS too), we can find a decent resolution and settings combination that looks and performs great, because the Graphics Settings have pretty decent scalability.

    Keybinds are another aspect crucial to PC games and many reviews omit talking about it; well, I don’t, since I’m left handed, in the first place, and that means I will always need to remap the default keybinds.
    In this game, all of the keys I would normally use can be mapped, and only a couple actions are not able to be remapped, like the one bound to “T”, which is used to access Lore we find in game, we have no option to remap that one action, so I ended up mapping it to one of my extra mouse buttons.
    The Arrow keys work for movement, too, which it’s what I use, and another lacking feature here is that there’s no Walk key, so Kratos will always be jogging.

    Other than that, with those issues aside, what remains is a truly amazing video game, with a really nice story and character development; voice acting is phenomenal for the main cast and other characters, such incredible talent and passion put into this game, clearly.
    Sound and music are amazing as well, and the visuals and level design are quite good, and I do love being able to go back to areas I’ve visited and explore more of them, because level design in this game I think it’s pretty well done.

    I love exploration in video games, and this game promotes one of the best ways to do exploration: let the player do it because they feel curious about it; the level design, especially for the Lake of Nine, does exactly that, it did for me at least: I wanted to explore because I was interested. That sentiment was pushed even further thanks to Atreus, which was always so eager to explore, like me. Then with the amazing stories from Mimir, the experience felt absolutely complete for me, it’s an amazing feeling.

    I also loved the subtle hints, even early on, about what was going on, even in the first minutes, there are hints all over the place; the minds who thought about all of this and placed all these hints and clues, visual or in events we see at certain points, are great, such a good job.

    Combat is also pretty snappy and responsive and there are lots of ways to deal with enemies, which is refreshing. I really enjoyed fighting enemies in this game, especially some of the optional bosses, which can get pretty difficult, but they’re so fun to fight.

    This game is pretty good, after such legacy the God of War franchise holds, I like how this game marks the beginning of something new, honors the past very well but, at the same time, leaves us with so much more for the future.    … Expand

    Well, it's quite a good game, but i did expect a lot more reading all the reviews online. It's was a bit of a let down playing it, but it was my fault that i expected more. The game is good, just not a masterpiece in my opinion.

    Been looking forward to it since the game was released in 2018, the game is so great even though it has been around for a long time. Give me the god of war!

    Я прошёл эту игру и считаю, что это шедевр. Одна из лучших игр, в которые я когда-либо играл на пк.

    God of War is more or less a game for everyone who is not afraid of action gameplay and appreciates good narrative and production quality. It's also great to watch, so it can be recommended to extended family members over the series. [Issue#317]

    After more than 55 hours spent playing, I’m still awed by just how great God of War is. This is the result of a clear, determined vision, its separate elements harmonizing almost perfectly to deliver an experience that understands the series’ blood-soaked origins but is also not afraid to push it into a more mature and nuanced direction. Kratos and Atreus’ relationship develops naturally as does their understanding of the foreign land they’re journeying through. The story takes its time, never rushing its satisfying reveals, and making way for a set of surprisingly personal boss fights, while the continuous camera shot used throughout the game is a masterstroke in terms of presentation. All this is built around a snappy and responsive combat system that has more depth than you’re initially led to believe. There are more jaw-dropping surprises I didn’t touch upon simply because it’s best that you experience them for yourself. Looking back, aside from the port’s few performance flaws, my only real complaint has to do with Sony taking this long to bring the game to PC.

    God of War merges all its gameplay elements into one excellent package, dressed in unparalleled direction and amazing storytelling. The scale of the narrative, the divine but always human Kratos, the "boy" who sees everything with childlike enthusiasm, all this offers the player a thrilling story that has at its heart the most human and natural relationship between a parent and his child. Regardless of preference, God of War is a must-see title. Benchmark for each and all its elements and still fresh in 2022.
