    O jogo é simplesmente uma obra prima. Sua na história, narrativa, mundo, personagens, gameplay e trilha sonora são de cair o queixo, e temos uma câmera sem cortes do início ao fim traz uma emersão incrível. O jogo já era lindo no PS4/PS5, agora está sensacional.

    I was sceptical about this change of style in the franchise, but oh boy was I wrong. I never expected that making Kratos more cautious and mature would make this one of the best games I've ever played. From the beggining to the end, Kratos and Atreus grow together, learn new things about each other, learn to care about their well-being.

I never expected that making Kratos more cautious and mature would make this one of the best games I've ever played. From the beggining to the end, Kratos and Atreus grow together, learn new things about each other, learn to care about their well-being. And seeing Kratos learn to be a father, try to teach not only Atreus, but other characters to not reppeat his errors, made Kratos one of the best evolving characters I've seen a game on these last years.
    This is not a fully open world game, but what you can explore, is worth it, the game has the same essence that past GOW titles had, the puzzle solving mainly, in regard of the combat it is a little clunky when you can only use the Leviatan Axe and more Hack n' Slashy when you can use the Blades of Chaos, but overall, I like it and more than in past games.
    The story is simply awesome, easily the strongest aspect of the game, as I mentioned before, every character, even some like Brok and Sindri, evolve through the story, and you can easily complete and understand the lore behing by just playing the game, but if you take the time to read lore entries that you collect through the game, it just becomes better, you find some deepness that not a lot of games have, and that I like a lot.
    Graphicaly wise it's awesome, textures, animations, geometry, physics, it has some areas that could be better, mainly that the game uses a lot of volumetric fog, which can be annoying at times, but it is far from making this game unplayable.
    The music is fantastic, it helps immersion and making the situations the characters are going through even better, building tension, making a battle feel important or knowing when or where you can take a breathe and just rest a while from the action.
    Voice acting is memorable, even now, some weeks after I finished the game, I can remember almost exactly the voices of all characters, something that rarely happens to me.
    Talking from a technical stand point, well, it could be better, I could say this game doesn't run that good on AMD graphic cards, but the implementation of FSR actually helps a lot. Another issue I've noticed, is that I had a lot of crashes when running this game, that because of "insufficient memory", even though both configuration on which I tested the game have 16 GB at 3200 MHz so... I think that could be better.
    And yeah, I've experienced graphical bugs twice and an Atreus' AI freezing once, I had to restart the game to fix these issues when I experienced it, but thankfully they didn't occur during some important part of the game.
    Overall, God of War is a pretty solid experiencie that I recommend giving a shot, if this is your kind of game. I'd give this game a 9/10 only if i didn't experience so many crashes and stutters, because the rest of the game is high quality.    … Expand

    I feel it is a tight, structured, balanced, immersed and fluid experience, which I much prefer over open world games which are kinda becoming the norm lately. In my book choices are good but too much choice can become a burden or feel meaningless. I especially hate games that make you wonder about aimlessly for hours and waste time on stupid tasks with no real gameplay. I have enough choires IRL - why would I spend my valuable playtime on that?

    I haven't played God of Wars predecessors so I went into this game without any expectations - which is always the best approach (I see a lot of user reviews that basically say: I give this game a low score because I expected something else which tells me more about your wrong expectations than the game itself).
    Trying to judge this game objectively I think this is a very rare gem in its genre (the game is an action RPG that kind of reminded me of jade empire). Even after finishing it I don't understand how anyone can try to give a fair rating and rate this game less than a 10 - so my assumption is that most people who give it a lower score just don't like the genre a lot.    … Expand

Amazing yet scalable challenge for every level of player. Some the most satisfying combat in a 3rd person ARPG anyone could ask for. You could never regret this purchase, especially if you’ve never played it. Enjoy all.

Also unlike other games the enemies keep attacking you, they don't idle until you get rid of another one to start attacking so you always have to be paying attention. 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. And pay attention to the lore, it is just so good, well crafted and told through art pieces, murals and texts you find around the world and through the beautiful story, it is just perfect.… Expand

My pc is not that powerful, but it still managed to play really well with medium-high settings. The PC port is well done, haven't encountered bugs or lag.

    I didn't really like the crafting and armor system. It was confusing and a bit overwhelming.
    The open world aspect was okay... I didn't find myself excited to explore every island or complete every side quest, wasn't engaging enough.
    Also I didn't like that they reused a lot of bosses, but I didn't really mind at the end, since the combat is really good.

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

That goes for all categories; Story, gameplay, world design and visual effects.

    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.

That would be the definition of this masterpiece in its simplest form. In this step of the franchise, we will dive into Norse mythology. While we wander through the phenomenal visuals, the game shows us how Kratos transforms from a man contending with surpassing his sins to keep them from his child to a fascinating man with a story worth hearing. On the gameplay side, God of War takes pieces from current games and elevates them. It gives our reward to the fullest as we roam its open world and learn new things about this realm in side quests. Just prepare for this trip to Valhalla.… Expand

    Não há muito o que dizer. Simplesmente um jogo fantástico, uma evolução fenomenal de Kratos em relação aos jogos anteriores. Não que antes ele fosse ruim, mas aqui vemos um personagem com mais camadas que leva em conta tudo o que veio antes. Um respiro que a franquia precisava, e com certeza um jogo muito divertido, dinâmico, com uma boa variedade de gameplay. A exploração recompensaNão há muito o que dizer.

Um respiro que a franquia precisava, e com certeza um jogo muito divertido, dinâmico, com uma boa variedade de gameplay. A exploração recompensa bastante, sem dar apenas coletáveis irrelevantes, e na metade do jogo é adicionada praticamente uma gameplay nova quando "visitamos o passado". A minha única queixa é a repetição de inimigos, em especial os chefes, se é que podemos chamar assim. Muitos trolls e ancestrais que apenas dão uma variação do elemento deles. Ainda assim, é um jogo fantástico e uma experiência marcante e inesquecível.… Expand

    I'm not really a Playstation guy, but I gotta say, this game is probably one of the best games I've ever played. At some parts, I am walking, which is in my opinion a minor thing compared to how good the combat is. As someone at IGN would say "it's like dark souls but it meet's Norse Mythology." But I would say that the combat is cool in it's own way.

Story telling was phenomenal, despite there being NOT much of it. Feels like 8-10 hours of story, drawn out to 20+. Enemies were lacklustre, with re-skins in many ways.

    As this being one of the first PlayStation games on PC as it being GOW, it is also one of the best on PC it has ever had. A port from the classic PS4 game, God of War on PC like PS4, exceeded and succeeded all of the expectations to be the masterpiece that it is.

    Exceptional visual and sound atmosphere.
    Nice story.
    The gameplay is enjoyable but not transcending, sometimes frustrating.
    Boring "platform" phases and QTE that belong to the PS2 era.

    Mükemmele yakın bir kombat, inanılmaz bir sinematik anlatım, keşfetmesi eğlenceli bir açık Dünya. God of War gerçekten bir başyapıt. En büyük eksisi boss savaşları ve bazı bölüm tasarımı tercihleri biraz tembelce geldi. Ancak iyi yanları tüm bu eksikleri gölgede bırakıyor.

    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.
