    Одна из лучших игр вышедших на консолях прошлого поколения. Геймплей, на удивление для серии, является не краеугольным камнем — за развитием сюжета и характерами персонажей наблюдать не менее увлекательно

    Perfect 10

    This games port to PC couldn't be any better. I went from playing this game on PS4 to playing on PC and the graphics difference was incredible, especially if you have a good PC and monitor. The gameplay feels smooth and responsive on keyboard and mouse, making killing enemies as easy as ever. If you haven't played this game I 100% recommend it, you will not regret it.

    There are so many fantastic moments in this game. Not one moment are you getting tired of the chemistry between Kratos and Atreus, or their mission. The gameplay is seamless and aggressive with no setbacks in any sort of way. While the bosses may become repetitive, they are still a welcome to battle because it's so intense.

    There aren't many games like God of War that leave an impression on me, but this one is special. Perfect from start to finish.    … Expand

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

    Dialogs feel like from a Japanese game, AKA make no sense whatsoever and feel very disconnected to context and completely without emotions, or completely overdone emotions, even though its an American developer.
    Characters are bland and soulless.
    The AI is as stupid as if its a 00s game.
    Fights are too many and become very boring after only a few hours.
    Fights with trash mobs take too long. You never feel very strong because of that, even though cutscenes show you being much stronger than that.
    Fights have childish snap animations, like you know from anime crap.
    Weapons are boring and feel weak.
    Abilities are boring and feel weak.
    Kratos can jump very high in cut scenes and is able to lift and crush huge rocks, but in the gameplay he cant even climb/jump a 8 foot wall or kick in/lift a flimsy gate.
    Puzzles are too easy and always the same kind.
    The world is a typical console game one, where you feel trapped in a small valley.
    Exploration is extremely limited because of that.
    Not much happens in the game. Just boring fight after boring fight and easy puzzle after easy puzzle, while your son screams the same lines all the time.

    This game is incredibly overrated. It's a very well put together product, but not a very good game.

    I'll get the production value out of the way: It's great! The game looks really good (minus some low res textures), it runs great and it sounds really good. You can really see where most of the budget went. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Movement is a chore. There is    This game is incredibly overrated.

    Unfortunately, that's where the positives end.
    Movement is a chore. There is no organic interaction. You are just advancing through narrow tunnels, pressing a button to watch a short cutscene every time you want to do something. Even jumping works like this.

    Exploration can be mildly entertaining despite the movement. The problem is that you are not equipped to explore the entirety of a location on your first visit. This would be fine but you often need to revisit a location 3 - 4 times just to pick up everything. This is obviously done to increase play time.

    Combat is competent but dull. There's no need to use most of your moves. Using the same 2 - 3 attacks is far more efficient. The enemies won't care. There's not a lot of variety to them. Also, the fact that Kratos covers half of the screen during combat is frustrating.

    The story exists and it is fine.

    Overall it's a very middle of the road game. It's perfectly mediocre.    … Expand

    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 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

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

    This is the best project I've played in recent years. This is the first project in which I liked everything: the plot, gameplay and all the details. Even training for a noob like me is acceptable.

    Kratos now is a soft and slow guy that needs to fight most enemies 1 on 1 and hit them a hundred times to kill, the gore and violence were also toned down, the game feels like a pg13 version of the old ones. And while GoW 2 did cinematics almost to perfection this one does them in the really boring way every Sony "exclusive" does now.

    Not a bad game but clearly has problems with the hitbox and in some fights the red twinkle hint for undefendable attacks just stops happening, and it misses the mark completely about how the previous games made you feel, im sure some people not easily impressionable that never played the older games might even be wondering what was the big deal about Kratos anyway, he inst half as cool as he used to be.
    I also thought the kid was really annoying and spent a good time trying to hit him.    … Expand

    4/10 I cannot recommend this to anyone, this is a monstrosity of genres that got duct-taped together and then coated in 24k gold to make it look like it's good when it's not.

    Graphics/Art style 8/10 - Although the environments are highly detailed and visually amazing, it tends to get repetitive as most of the locations are fundamentally the same, it's just a bunch of mountains, caves,    4/10 I cannot recommend this to anyone, this is a monstrosity of genres that got duct-taped together and then coated in 24k gold to make it look like it's good when it's not.

    Graphics/Art style 8/10 - Although the environments are highly detailed and visually amazing, it tends to get repetitive as most of the locations are fundamentally the same, it's just a bunch of mountains, caves, and rivers. The level design really needs some work as it brings down other scores.

    Gameplay 1/10 - It is downright horrendous. The combat is an incredibly repetitive hack and slash with little variety in fighting styles. Every single enemy is essentially copy-pasted bullet sponges and this includes the bosses. With artificial difficulty and level scaling included, it's even more infuriating and tedious to kill enemies and it feels as if I never even made any progress since even common enemies take time to kill. Not only that, the simplistic puzzles just bring the game to a halt and cause a headache as they are usually hidden in the most obscure locations possible and it requires you to look around everywhere with the horrid camera.

    Performance 10/10 - I can actually run this game on medium/high settings on a 1050ti mobile with decent framerates so god damn that's pretty good optimization. This should be expected though cause the game was already done and just ported to PC a few years after so this part will not affect the overall score.

    Lore 5/10 - All their problems would not exist if Kratos just talked it out with Baldur and it was very possible too since Baldur was literally down to solve things peacefully before they started fighting. They really should have just gotten rid of Baldur completely, it would have made the game at least bearable. Also, boy of war sounds like a pasty angsty white kid rather than some nordic kid from Midgard. This really broke the immersion and made the game all the more unbearable.

    Experience 1/10 - I have never played a game as boring as this when it's rated so highly. I really tried to get into it too, I played a good 10-20 hours but I just can't bring myself to play it any longer. Firstly there are wayyyyy too many cinematics and situations where you just traverse the terrain. It just gets so boring and repetitive when a good 40%-60% of the game is just doing that. Furthermore, boy of war can't keep his mouth shut for 5 seconds. Not only did they have the audacity to give him the most annoying voice in all of Midgard, but also make him on par with Horizon: Instructions West. GoW really couldn't escape the influence of the **** formula huh? As for the golden coat I mentioned earlier is possible due to the linearity of the game. Due to the linearity of the game, the developers are able to carefully craft and choose what the player sees, thus they made everything we see really high quality visually and tried to hide its mountains of **** distracting the player with its shiny graphics and detailed snow.    … Expand

    While visually impressive, with fantastic art direction, this game borrows too much from other successful games. I couldn’t get attached to the narrative because no matter what happened, I couldn’t stop thinking about how much they are copying The Last Of Us.

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.

    I had heard a great deal of things about the latest installment of "God of War." I heard it was a departure from the original series, a vast retooling of the original mechanics to explore a more story-driven third-person action experience.. and it vastly sucks compared to anything I've touched in the genre. By that I mean, compared to all other action games in the history of action gamesI had heard a great deal of things about the latest installment of "God of War." I heard it was a departure from the original series, a vast retooling of the original mechanics to explore a more story-driven third-person action experience.. and it vastly sucks compared to anything I've touched in the genre. By that I mean, compared to all other action games in the history of action games so far, God of War: Skyrim Edition is the single worst title I've ever played. This isn't because Norse of War is notoriously bad, but because its pompous. Its vain. Its overtly injecting drama into a script that didn't call for one. Its preachy, its shallow, its overall presentation has more in common with a DVD interactive menu than an actual videogame.

    Graphics? Who cares when you can only see in a field 72 degrees around you and are expected to somehow be able to fight multiple enemies in every direction. Granted they are stupid enemies that can be cheesed by axe throwing them to death, and you can even do this to enemies that are outside of aggro range, which is either broken or poorly programmed, but I couldn't tell you which is more hilarious. Dialogue? Who cares how well its delivered when it stinks to high heaven, when every other word out of the blue dwarf is f**k while you're talking to him about upgrading your armor. Who cares about dialogue when the worst sequence in the game is anytime you are locked into a cutscene and are unable to skip it? Who cares about dialogue when scripted events like "walking across the room while carrying a wounded boar as terribly written lines are exchanged" is less fun than buying toilet paper at store?

    The BOY is a terrible, terrible, awful, hideous, stupid, meandering, and woefully misused character. He is most of the reason why I stopped playing. With extremely amazing lines like, "CAN WE GO NOW," or "I BET THIS IS HOW TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE IN THIS ROOM" or "WOW DAD YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED RIGHT NOW THAT'S CRAZY." Wow, what endlessly amazing superfluous and garbage-tier dialogue, which is also on repeat throughout the entire game. Enjoy traipsing through majestic landscapes that only consist of a lake the size of a puddle, a few large rooms, a boss fight (which is always obvious) and then back-tracking through the same section so the level designers can pretend that changing the coat of paint on the walls, opening some doors, or pretending extra trinkets to find are actual reasons to make you play through the same area twice. Puzzles are so dumb my dog wrote them for the game- no really- he actually works for SONY and recently did the lead character design for Alloy in the new "Horizon - Zero Dawn" game. He was hired on as a consultant, because they wanted the main character to appeal more to dogs that might enjoy being able to relate to a dog-faced woman as a lead character.

    Kratos is a stump of a character. I don't know what you could actually do with him in all seriousness. He is basically a self-insert mythological joke of a character, and nobody actually took him as a well meaning or sympathetic character. The old games were more about raunchy, bloody, raw fights with the occasional nudity that most 13 year olds (myself included) absolutely loved. I think they're great distractions, they don't really have a cohesive story, but who cares? They weren't really about that. This new Kratos is painted as some kind of stoic, silent and brooding old dude who can't decide if he hates his obnoxious little brat of a son or actually kind of enjoys his company. If anything at least the comedic side-kick angle has been worked to death now. All-in-all, the game is way to melodramatic, too cutscene heavy and lacks the grit, fun or nudity from the older games. The new axe gets boring after 2 hours, having to mash an extra button so your AI companion actually fires his bow was probably just developers being lazy and the camera is so bad that it caused me to stop playing after 5 hours. Difficulty doesn't feel right on any setting as "baby-mode" story is ridiculously easy, but "Give me slightly above normal" adds more health to every enemy, drawing fights out to a ridiculous degree. Three troll fights in and I honestly couldn't believe it was the exact same fight again- it was like something out of "Batman Arkham Asylum," ironically another game with a slow, boring protagonist who takes up way too much of the screen for me to see what is going on. Sorry about all the money and talent that was wasted on such a mediocre product.    … Expand

Cheguei na metade do jogo já exausto de tanto andar pelos mesmos lugares três, quatro vezes, de lutar com os mesmos inimigos e principalmente de andar de barco. Tinha momentos que eu tava andando pelo mapa fazendo as quests principais e me deparava com um inimigo pela 87ª vez, e ao invés de ficar maravilhado e me divertir lutando contra ele, ficava era "de novo não bixo" ou "ah velho essa p**ra mais uma vez". O melhor exemplo de repetição desse jogo é quando tu chega na montanha pra jogar as cinzas da mãe do garoto e descobre que a montanha tem um bafo preto e tu não consegue passar, tu literalmente chega perto da montanha, dá uma olhada e tem que voltar TODO o caminho que tu fez pra conseguir um negócio que tira o bafo preto, VOLTAR pra montanha e tentar subir ela de novo. Aí quando tu finalmente sobe no cume da montanha, adivinha? PUTZ AMIGO VAI TER QUE DESCER A MONTANHA DE NOVO, fazer o que né esse não é a montanha mais alta kkkkkkk desce aí e procura um negocinho, depois SOBE TODA a montanha mais uma vez kkkkkkkkkkkkkk ou seja, tu subiu e desceu a montanha várias vezes que nem um otário só pra perder tempo mesmo.
    O jogo se tornou bem cansativo devido a isso, e chegando quase no final eu já estava de saco cheio, não da história, não dos personagens, não do mundo em si, mas da repetição exagerada. Parece que a Santa Monica fez isso de propósito pra tentar aumentar o tamanho do jogo e não ficar tão curto quanto os God of War anteriores mas acabou fazendo um rip off de jogo repetitivo da Ubisoft, e isso afetou bem negativamente a minha experiência.    … Expand

    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.
