    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)

    До этого играл на PS4. Решил перепройти на PC. Благо обнавил компьютер. Графон хорош.
    Хорошая история в красивой обертке. Если привык играть в игры с открытым миром, то игра может не пойти (игра жестко коридорного типа).

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

    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.    … Expand

I had some issues on the Lake of Nine when i was facing the entire lake, the frames would drop to 30 on a RX 6800 which is kinda crazy, but it didn't bother me because the moment i faced my back to the lake, the frames would go to the 90s again.

    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.

    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. 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 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

    The combo system isn't as in depth (or hard to pull off) as in say Devil May Cry games but there is some thought required of what combos and tactics to use for certain enemies. But once you've learned the tactics it isn't too hard on normal if you've played similar games before. I aced the achievements on my first playthrough. I remember the older GoW games on PS3 were way harder, maybe due to the lacking hardware or game design (or I just sucked back then).
    Anyway, I enjoyed the game and the story even though I'm not sure I'll run through it again in NG+. Maybe in a few years. And I do recomend it for fans of the genre as it is an epic title. I also recomend using a controller over K & M.

    As for the PC port, a very good one. Ran locked 100 fps at Ultra and 3440x1440 with very rare hick ups. The bad is as of writing this it does not support exclusive fullscreen, only window mode wich will be an annoyance for those of you wanting to have a different resolution on the desktop and the game. And I had 2-3 crashes due to memory leak wich I fixed on my rig by turning off intel intergrated graphics.

It is the fifth major installment in the long standing God of War series, which up until this game has dealt exclusively with Greek mythology. I am a total newcomer to this series and part of the appeal for me was the new Norse mythology series which started with this game. Now I did not expect any miracles in terms of graphics, but boy was I wrong. 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 %    … Expand

Eagerly reading the days before the release of the PC port, I was looking forward to this game. After waiting for the release, I must admit, at first I was impressed by the graphics, which even at the time of January 2022 is amazing. The combat system on the keyboard and mouse is intuitively simple, complex, intuitive and works perfectly. The only note to the animation of special techniques, because it is continuous and, in some moments of the game (in battles against Valkyries and Wanderers), can play against the player. It is also worth highlighting that despite the colorful fighting and acrobatics of the movements of Kratos and Atreus (the protagonists of the game), it is sufficiently monotonous and can very much, in the early stages of the game, get bored (before the appearance of a second weapon that animates the combat system). The gameplay itself is very similar to an RPG, with its elements of exploring the world, collecting objects, studying locations and the history of the world, which, I must admit, dilutes the attitude to the game extremely much, against the background of the previous parts. From my point of view, this decision does not affect the attitude to the game (yes, you expect from the God of War, actually "war", and "meat", abundantly present in the prequels, but because of the plot and, one might say, age, this decision to slow down the gameplay can be considered successful). As for the plot: it is, without exaggeration, incomparable. A kind of "Road movie", telling about the goal of getting from point "A" to point "B", but skillfully playing on the genre itself and creatively, most importantly very skillfully, throwing up "unexpected turns" and setting the right mood. I would like to mention separately that the developers, with extreme care and reverence, approached the interaction of the plot and the history of the world order of Scandinavian mythology. Of course, there are a number of quite personal questions to plot solutions. Firstly: a very rapid transition of Atreus to uncontrolled behavior (fortunately not for long). Secondly: a rather controversial attitude to the interaction of Freya and Baldur (especially just before the end of the game). Regarding the relationship to secondary and third-rate characters, there are no questions. In many ways, it's fascinating to look at Brock and Sindri's interactions with the protagonists, and Mimir's stories are incredibly fascinating to listen to (it's a pity that such interactions, to a greater extent, take place in a boat). It is also worth noting the presence of several other worlds of the Yggdrasil World Tree. They are very picturesque and, most importantly, different from each other. Alvheim is an insanely beautiful world, but due to my dislike of the local nature and its population, I can't say that it is my favorite. Helheim truly conveys the oppressive atmosphere of the Scandinavian analogue of Hell, and the mood is conveyed very correctly, because in the interval of visiting this world, Kratos travels alone (Mimir does not count, because he has little influence on the development of events). Regarding Muspelheim and Nifelheim: these are optional worlds to visit, which also very skillfully and competently reveal the essence of their being, meaning and history. In many ways, I have a sufficient dislike for Nifelheim, because the implementation of the "ever-changing labyrinth workshop" does not look very skilful (purely the author's opinion), and in combination with the "mortifying fog", it looks quite repulsive. Jotunheim, as the final world, sets incredibly correct and very strong moods before the end of the adventure. From all of the above, it is worth concluding that the game is great, but not without drawbacks. Also, according to the author, in the future sequel, God of War: Ragnarök, the game should focus on mobility in battles, diversity of opponents (because, according to the author, there are not very many of them in this game and, in some aspects, they are extremely similar to each other), epic Boss fights (the right mood is felt exclusively at the final meeting of the protagonists with Baldur), as well as the expansion of weapons ammunition, because for the "God of War" having only two guns is ridiculous. In conclusion, it is worth adding that the author does not take his opinion to the above-described "minuses" to the public. This article is a decision to share your experience and thoughts, because someone will be able to find advantages in these shortcomings. Thank you for your attention.… Expand

    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.

    God Of War have nice graaphics, FSR that´s improves FPS on PC, nice gameplay, and good RPG elements, but repetitive bosses and enemys, few carachters and a history too basic.

    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.

    God of War (2018) is the fourth – or perhaps like the eighth, depending on what you count – game in the God of War series.

Set in the lands of the Norse Gods after Kratos pretty much wrecked the Greek world, Kratos has been living a quiet life with his wife and son. Naturally, by the time the game has started, his wife has died – apparently of natural causes – and she requests that Kratos and their son, Atreus, take her ashes to the top of the highest mountain in all the land to scatter them.

    Needless to say, things get a bit complicated, the Norse gods get involved, and before you know it you are off on an adventure through… well, the majority of the nine realms of Norse mythology, though in truth most of your adventure is in one realm (Midgard, i.e. the world of mortals) with your excursions to the other worlds little more than brief dungeons or series of challenges at most.

    The game is not enormously long, but it has a huge amount of side content which greatly stretches out its length. There’s a lot of places to explore and treasures to find, but the game is actually a bit short on actual monsters to fight.

    The problem is, the game actually runs out of new things to show you surprisingly early in its length. While there’s ostensibly a number of types of enemies, in reality there’s only a few actually different types – basically a very fast one that jumps on you, a standard melee trash mob, an enemy with a shield, an enemy with a big hammer, an enemy that throws ranged attacks at you, a teleporting witch, a big hulking ogre, a werewolf, trolls with big clubs, some flying enemies who shoot blinding things at you and then engage in melee, some other flying enemies who shoot things at you and sometimes buff enemies, and trolls.

    The game shows you all these types of enemies pretty early, though, and as a result, it feels like the game runs out of things to throw at you long before the game’s length ends. It doesn’t help that there’s really only five bosses apart from the trolls (which are very similar to each other) resulting in the game feeling like it is lacking for actually interesting combat content – which it kind of is. You fight some bosses multiple times (for story related reasons, but still) and unfortunately, it kind of becomes old hat by the end. The nine Valkyrie bosses do try to mix things up a bit themselves, and are the most interesting boss fights in the game, but they, too, get repetitive after a while.

    For all the spectacle that the game has, the game’s combat is honestly pretty mediocre – and that’s very unfortunate, because there is a fair amount of it.

    This is broken up by exploration, which is okay, but nothing super amazing – it’s pretty standard “puzzles”, but they’re all very simple and mostly are pretty much the same, just “the puzzle pieces are hidden differently”.

    Really, the only thing the game has to make it stand out from the competition is presentation – but fortunately, it does have that in spades. The voice acting is really good, the characters are fun to interact with (even if Kratos himself is mum about things for much of the game), and if you are a fan of Norse mythology, you can see all sorts of fun references in here, along with the game’s various twists and attempts to make the gods the bad guys (because, this is, after all, God of War, the series infamous for deicide – and while gods do die, you will likely be disappointed by the number, though fans of Norse Mythology will also be able to predict who is going to die and more or less how).

    The game’s core relationship – between Atreus and Kratos – works well, even if it is frustrating at times with just how taciturn Kratos is, but you can see how scarred Kratos is from his past experiences. The game, then, is about Kratos coming out of his shell a little while his son has to figure out who he is and what is going on. Atreus helps out in combat, and also helps with some puzzles, and while none of it is particularly spectacular in execution it works well enough.

    All in all, I felt like the game stretched itself out too long relative to its interesting content – it added two grindy sidequests for no good reason, as the combat is not anywhere near good enough to justify them, and it just adds to the length of the game without adding to the main thing that the game delivers on – the story of the relationship between Kratos and Atreus and their role in the world, including Kratos’ own undesired role, as he clearly detests his own nature as a god and fears what his son will be like when he realizes that he, too, is a son – trying to keep things as low-key as possible while avoiding giving too much away.

    All in all, the game's presentation saves its mediocre gameplay, and the side content is too often a boring distraction from the main thrust of the game.    … 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

    One of the more compelling narratives in AAA gaming is marred by a confusingly awful balance pass.

Even on    One of the more compelling narratives in AAA gaming is marred by a confusingly awful balance pass.

    Normal difficulty is a boring cakewalk where the combat encounters outside of boss fights are annoyances that just slow down the story. But if you want more interesting and aggressive enemies, turning up the difficulty does that... but also drastically inflates their health bars. Even on Hard, a single normal enemy can take upwards of ten hits to kill, and this is a game where you will often fight groups of five or more enemies at a time, in multiple waves. It's the absolute worst form of difficulty inflation, which is so puzzling because they *also* make the enemies smarter and more interesting to fight! Why is this how it is? If the devs really think anyone wants every enemy in the game to be a damage sponge, they should have made a difficulty menu where you can mix and match options, or at least add a couple more difficulty settings so there could be one that's "interesting fights that don't last for ten minutes each".

    Don't even get me started on the hardest difficulty, which for some completely unjustifiable reason *locks you out of changing difficulty*. This is common in older games, but here it's blatantly done deliberately because you can freely switch between the others. I'm pretty sure this was done for no other reason than to stir up hype in the hardcore gaming scene, but if the intent is to reference properly hard games like Dark Souls, they really screwed the pooch, because the balancing here is absolutely atrocious. This mode has the most interesting combat mechanics, stuff you literally can't even see in the other modes, but once again if you want that intense experience you also have to deal with normal enemies who have health bars literally bigger than the first boss on normal.

    If you don't care about gameplay, this is a good story. But I'm not sure it's worth slogging through the combat in any of the available configurations.    … Expand

You press something and something happens on the screen, but it doesn't make any difference, except maybe the amount of damage and animation. So you stick to one or two, and only if you remember about them at all.

    Another disappointment is the variety of enemies. Most of the time it's just a bunch of dudes with different color and different amounts of health. There's a flying meatball, something like a witch and a "Big Dude" too, that's all. Only one cool boss fight with dragon. All fights differ only in the number of button mashing, no strategy and no thinking is required. "Repetition" is a great description of all enemy encounters in the game.

    Loot and the interface for it are astonishingly awful. It should be used in universities as an example of poor design.
    Constantly something new drops out of enemies and crates. A ton of pop-ups appear, locking you from the game. Loot stats is usually look something like : +0.01% to the first and -2% to the second, and so on. What the f does this all mean. Why should I care? Just give me something cool, not 1st grade math.

    The interface is overloaded. You can add a few points here and here, remove a couple there and there and there... I'm not interested, thank you.

    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.
