    - 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 !!

    It's more like a movie than a game, but the main thing that pisses me off is that a head hanging from my ass and a 7-year-old child is constantly giving me advice, and the game never gives you the opportunity to solve things??? dude i am god of war do you think i really need a 7 year old's advice?

    game-play and combat are extremely boring and like 6th generation games also boss fights are repetitive
    game story is childish and not interesting
    only the game graphics are incredible

    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.

    Great game! I've played the previous entries when I was younger (even if I reckon I did not had the age to do that) and I liked it and so, but always thought Kratos was an jerk and never related to him.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    GOW is not the game it is hyped up to be to be honest. I am not a fan of many of the Playstation exclusives as third person hack and slash games are not my thing. However, I thought I'd give this game a chance.

    I purchased on PC since now Sony is releasing games on PC so I decided to try it out. First, the game is a great port. The performance was amazing, graphics were great etc all on a 3060 laptop variant with an i7 cpu. The dlss implementation was great. Visually the game is very appealing; however, the dialog was very boring. The game is very slow and Kratos doesn't live up to the hype as a chacter in my opinion. That being said there is a neat dynamic between father and son. I'd say my biggest gripe is the tedious upgrade menu being pretty hard to navigate and the gamsplay is repetitive and uninspiring . I couldn't engage myself in the combat. I know many may disagree but I give this game a 7 at best. I tried returning the game but couldn't because I played over 2 hours of it on steam. I can't seem to get myself to beat the game. This has pushed me away from trying ragnarok now.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
