    - He is actually a 2018 game, and the graphics performance in 2022 will not lose to any game today.
    - Immersive movie one shot to the end.
    - The top of the action game, the swinging movements are so smooth.
    - It's better than ML !!

    This is the OG, this has all the good of the restarted GOW. The sequel Ragnarok throws all the good out of the window, I can't believe they made the game even clunkier than some crap like AC Valhalla.

    It's a good game, PC optimization is not bad either. But once you finish it, there's no point in playing it again, and it's not a game that can be compared to RDR 2.

    RDR 2 should have gotten the Goty award in 2018.

    One of the best story driven games I have ever played. The gameplay is buttery smooth and left nothing desired for me. Rarely have I felt more attached to game characters than with Atreus and Kratos. I went the full length and got all achievements on Steam, which I rarely ever do. I really hope Sony decides to publish Ragnarök in the near future.

    God of War sin duda es un paso adelante en la franquicia que eclipsa a los anteriores que, en su mejor caso, eran mediocres.

Y es que GoW reinicia en muchos sentidos la franquicia y la cambia profundamente en todos los sentidos. Primero, la historia, ahora importa y tiene interés y no es una sucesión de estupideces por justificar más violencia gratuita sino que hay una evolución de personajes, muchos más grises, etc. Además, el tratamiento de la mitología (aún con algunas libertades) es mucho mejor aquí que en lo anterior, lo cual para mi es muy importante. Añadimos a esto una jugabilidad realmente buena, que brilla en todos sus aspectos desde el combate a la exploración, y el juego es realmente redondo. Quizás le habría venido bien algo más de progresión en el árbol de habilidades y esas cosas, llega un punto que si eres un poco completista tienes muchos más puntos de experiencia y dinero del que realmente vas a poder usar jamás. Y sin duda le habría venido bien algo más de variedad de enemigos, aunque los que hay son suficientemente diferentes entre si como para que no se note demasiado. Y tengo sentimientos encontrados con respecto a la región de las nieblas porque no entiendo por qué meter una región a farmear en un juego así, si no es por alargar las horas de juego artificialmente.

    Gráficamente el juego es espectacular, con escenarios y localizaciones muy diversas y que van cambiando con los eventos y unos personajes muy detallados y cuidados desde en sus animaciones de combate a las expresiones faciales, etc. El sonido es igualmente impecable, con una música excelente, unas voces que transmiten un montón y unos efectos de sonido perfectos. Además, al menos en mi partida, no me encontré ningún bug. Eso si, el port a PC debería haber estado algo más optimizado y sin duda no hay justificación que se me ocurra para que no haya una opción para poner el juego a pantalla completa.

    Pero vamos, algunas sombrillas puntuales en lo que es una experiencia excelentísima que realmente vale la pena. Una maravilla de juego. Un 9.

    The game as a whole reminded me of Prince of Persia games, which I miss greatly. Surprisingly to me, unlike previous titles on God of War series, this game is not in the same genre as Devil May Cry. However, I really didn't feel like the game suffered for this change.

    GoW has profound lore and story. The groundwork of the gameplay is solid, and the art department did a phenomenal job.
    The game as a whole reminded me of Prince of Persia games, which I miss greatly. Surprisingly to me, unlike previous titles on God of War series, this game is not in the same genre as Devil May Cry. However, I really didn't feel like the game suffered for this change.

    GoW has profound lore and story. The groundwork of the gameplay is solid, and the art department did a phenomenal job. In the beginning, enemies felt a bit spongy, but as Kratos learned more moves, the combat became exponentially more fun. Especially after getting the Blades of Chaos, combat switches into high gear. I found myself clenching my controller, grunting, and even screaming as I lay waste with the chained blades.

    The story is very deep for a game of this genre. The relationship between Kratos and Atreus is too real at times. I love how we never see some of the characters like Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother Faye, Odin, and Thor, and yet we get to know so much about them. Especially the build-up of expectation around Odin and Thor captivated me, and I can't wait to play Ragnarok on PC. All the supporting characters were interesting, and I never got bored of Mimir's stories.

    There are only a few things that keep this game from being perfect for me. The spongy enemies in the early-game, have lots of fillers like long transition animations, and backtracking, and on higher difficulties, the enemies get even tankier.

    Overall I loved the game. I had a long un-scratched itch for action-adventure games like Prince of Persia, Darksiders, Soul Reaver, Beyond Good and Evil etc.

The game look stunningly beautiful, super hi-res textures, greater Norse colors and several huge breathtaking animations (mostly in the first parts of the story). In this regard, the game was spotless. It must have been quite a step up in graphics quality from the PS4. Next thing I loved is the lore. Norse mythology appeals to me quite a lot and this game is full of it. Actually that was the thing that brought my attention to the God of War. Obviously the developers bend the mythology here and there to fit their God of War universe (quite a lot actually), but I think it is done with love and I had mostly no problems with it. Next thing is the music, which was great, topical, non intrusive. And all these together make up the atmosphere of the game. Obviously it was fantastic. So far so good right? Well there were a few things I did not like about the game. Now the story as such is not bad, but generally it is a little bit predictable, I do no like that. Before I started playing I thought I would have tough time with the kid, but it was not so bad, Atreus kinda grew on me a little bit. The relationship between him and his father is maybe a little bit one-dimensional given that it is the centerpiece of the whole game. Sometimes the game cannot hide its console roots, for example the controls are really console like, I do not like that. The combat is a bit souls like, also not my favorite way of combat, but not bad either. The map is stupid, you cannot really zoom in or see paths or anything really. And the manual save (probably added for PC only?) did not work for me at all, any time I tried to load a manually saved position, I started at a previous checkpoint regardless. I played on hard difficulty and it was plenty hard for me, I never really thought about trying the highest difficulty. The story and the whole game really, is pretty short and small in size. Marginal horse armor type microtransaction and no SJW bull at all. Wow, I almost did not want to believe that. Good job.

    First few hours really got me, I was thrilled and thought this was gonna become one of my all time favorite. But then it kinda ebbed away and I was left with conflicting feelings, I was entertained but the game initially promised more. It is a pity that it took them four years to release God of War on PC. Like PC version is only an afterthought? As a PC master race, I find this unacceptable. Final Verdict: 83 %

    I finally had the opportunity to play God of War, which I could never play for a long time because I never had a Playstation. I have to say that I am biased towards the game, because there is a Game of the Year issue that we all know. GoW stole Game of the Year from RDR 2. Yes, he stole it. At least that's what I thought. After playing RDR 2, I had never, ever (for a long time at least)I finally had the opportunity to play God of War, which I could never play for a long time because I never had a Playstation. I have to say that I am biased towards the game, because there is a Game of the Year issue that we all know. GoW stole Game of the Year from RDR 2. Yes, he stole it. At least that's what I thought. After playing RDR 2, I had never, ever (for a long time at least) convinced myself that no game could ever be this good. How good could GoW be? As I do in every review, I will examine GoW in 3 stages and try to explain how good a game it is.

    Let's start with the art design first. GoW looks great. Simply great. I have never seen realms in Norse mythology portrayed so beautifully. Nilheim's irritability, Jotunheim's gigantic and sublime portrayed so beautifully that this game. Realms is the first part of the game, of course, but it's not just that. The game looks beyond great indoors, too. Recently, games have been trying to avoid the quality of the coating and give importance to the lighting, aiming to both look beautiful and not put a load on the graphics card. But GoW has better skins that I haven't seen in a long time. Of course, although this upsets players who do not have good graphics cards, you can turn down the settings whenever you want. When we leave painting and go to music, we come across great music again. While the music isn't very characteristic, it's certainly not just epic war music. It was perfect for any music playing situation. The character voiceovers are also absolutely fantastic. It looks like they worked hard on the effects, even though it wouldn't normally be noticeable. Especially how beautiful the sound of that ax moving is.

    Story. As someone who hasn't played previous GoWs, the scenes referring to previous games even got me excited. Even though I didn't play it, I knew what a concept it was after all. I can say that I absolutely appreciate the game as a father-son story. The characters really make sense, nothing is rushed. As his father, we can watch Atreus grow up and change as he learns new things. Well, since we are not such a great father, it turns out to be a pleasant story to follow. However, my favorite part of the story is definitely the last 5 hours of the game. There is also a marvelous finale during this time when the enjoyment of the game is definitely at its maximum. So much so that this finale was made to get people excited for the next game. Although I am not a close follower of the series, I am curious about Ragnarok.

    Let's come to the subject where GoW failed the most compared to the other two categories. By the way, it's still one of the best games in terms of gameplay. However, the most mistakes are seen in the gameplay part. For example, the game's biggest flaw. There is no boss fight in the game. There is, but there is little. So the number of special bosses in the game is very small. However, boss fights are incredibly enjoyable. Normally it's not that bad to kill the same boss multiple times, because you'll see how much he's improved and how much easier he can kill now, but if you're killing that boss 6-7 times it's just boring now. The special bosses of the game are very enjoyable. Tired of the cinematic of the main bosses and looking for a challenge for yourself? Go cut the valkyries. The game is definitely enjoyable in terms of fighting mechanics. Whenever you get bored, you open a new feature and start using it. I'm not even counting shooting arrows with the guy next to you. Most begin to play a critical mission in war. Atreus is such a beautiful piece that for these fights, if you ask in the game, no one will say that he controls 2 people. But yes, we control two people in this game. Although the game does a lot to prevent you from getting bored, unfortunately, the variety of enemies is not enough after a while. However, this is just a minor fault of a very good game. It's not a big criticism.

    GoW is a very enjoyable game. I still don't think it's better than RDR 2, but I used to think it was incomparable. The two games are pretty comparable. Gaming tastes certainly vary from culture to culture. GoW is a very cinematic game. And a more refined game. I mean, you are playing a game and you are aware of it. RDR 2 is almost a simulation. And both are perhaps the best of its kind.

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

    Ever since its exclusive release in 2018, God of War set a new standard to how single-player focused role-playing games should be. That goes for all categories; Story, gameplay, world design and visual effects. I have played similar triple-A games (rhymes with "A passion's Greed") that fall into the same category, but don't even come close to this. Easy 10/10.

I just wish it had more enemy variety, and I actually like the fact that the camera is close and you can't see the enemies behind you. I mean, no one has eyes on their back and it keeps you on your toes. The game also has quite a lot of side content with some being the best there is, like the Valkyries fights and the lore based side quests that expand on it. Just play it, forget about how you hate the camera on the first few minutes, you will get used to it.

    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.
