    My first experience was with the ps4 slim. And guys i can only say that 60fps is an incredible boon for a console gamer because the texture quality makes the difference on pc. I think you need to experience it again on pc :)

    God of War has always been one of the best or the best exclusive game for playstation and playing it on pc with better graphics is like enjoying the game in a totally different way. I still prefer a controller while playing God of War, as it has always been like that for me.

    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.

    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.

    God of War delivers one of the most incredible gaming experiences ever created, and now it’s on PC featuring a selection of options to fine tune your visual and control settings. Upon initial release it was an amazing step forward in gaming that expanded the general narrative beyond what one would ever expect.

    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. If you've not already played the game on PlayStation, this is a great chance to catch up ahead of Ragnarok's highly anticipated release.

    I usually would not rate a game with a 10 before finishing it but this one continues to blow me away in pretty much any aspect (presentation and gameplay - I don't have time to dig really deep into stories but I liked it too) because they really put a lot of effort into this game and all its details.

    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.

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

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

    Jogo espetacular, história perfeita, movimentação impecável, nostalgia ao extremo pra quem é apaixonado por God of War... fora a trilha sonora e o plano sequência que deixa o jogo extremamente imersivo.

    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. Don't get me started on the story.I'm not really a Playstation guy, but I gotta say, this game is probably one of the best games I've ever played.

    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.

And if you think you could care less about a dad's relationship with his son, guess again. The only disclaimer is that there is lots of combat and hidden chests, so that does rule out some players. For anyone else it is worth every cent of your money. Expand

    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.

    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.

    This masterpiece finally came to PC. After finishing the 100% i'm gonna gladly write this opinion. I'll not discover anything not said about GoW, but i wanted a take of it.

    So, GoW, we all know Kratos but this game introduced new characters such as Atreus, Mimir, the dwarfs and the norse pantheon which includes gods, realms, creatures and much else. The story is so well-builded in a way

    The one-camera shot feels amazing, following always Kratos in the game. It's well added to the combat, which feels nice the change. It's way more challenging and updated to the needs of players nowadays. The visuals are still amazing and in Ultra + 60fps , rtx activated...it just looks incredible.

    I would like to take a moment to speak about the strategy Sony Playstation is following with this kind of releases and why they won't change it despite the success of GoW on Steam. So, they are doing what they should, take their exclusive to the PS and years later to PC, reaching two succesfull releases of one game in two independent years. Very clever.

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.

    God of War is a port made with as much care as when it was made on PS4. Higher video settings upgrade the graphics to a unbelievable level. Storyline is always a blast, everything comes in circle perfectly so you end up with all the answers needed, gameplay is always cool, might be slow at some time and by that I mean hen you cannot sprint but it doesn't change any of my opinion.

    Absolute master piece. Beautiful graphics and decent performance (although it could have more stable fps whe loading a new area). The sound department did an amazing job with the music, sound effects and voice actors. The characters, the story and the combat system are also great.

    a fresh air to the franchise, a love letter to the most recalcitrant fans of the genre, it is perfect in everything and at the same time not a timeless and misunderstood jewel that will only be valued by a future civilization that does not yet exist.

    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.

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.

    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.
