    This game is easily one of the best videogame experiences any player could playthrough, especially if you've played the older games on the franchise.

I'm not gonna go too deep into what makes this game great or any spoilers that shows you why this is a masterpiece of a storyline.
    If you haven't played this game, i truly recommend you to play through it because i can assure you, if you enjoy an epic storyline with amazing action packed moments whilst also having some slower character developing and emotional moments for you to feel for the characters, then this game is gonna grab you from the get go.
    And if you have played through this one, i also advise you to playthrough the old ones, they're different and more focused on action packed content than an immersive story but they also are really great games in their own with a great story aswell.
    Go ahead, Spartan. May you slay your enemies with discipline.    … Expand

    It's a perfect ten for me boss.

    Gameplay is solid and meaty - best melee and shield combat since Dark Souls. The sound is stellar! Usually, I don't even notice but the mix of voice and music is stunning. Actual work was put into this. Graphics are incredible, especially for a game from 2018. Outstanding animations and highly detailed textures.

    But it's the story that really pulls you in. Kratos and his 'boi' are constantly chatting but it's never boring or forced.

    In summary: it's amazing what a talented gaming dev team can pull off. I look at crud AAA games like Far Cry 6, Cyberpunk 2077 (bugs), Deathloop and MANY others with disdain now. Why can't everyone make games like Santa Monica Studios? Now I'm sad because every other game is going to seem like garbage until GOW: Ragnarok releases in 2022 (and possibly a lot later for us PC gamers).

    Buy it and love it, my vote for best modern game of all time.    … Expand

    Masterpiece of gaming, finally on PC.
    No regrets buying it.
    Did not observe any bug or glitch, which is quite surprising at the moment.

    The story is great.
    The characters are developing.

    Gameplay is neat.

    Graphics are beautiful.

    Full recommendation.

    It is not often that a port is actually well done and love is put into it. They took two years to make sure that it would play well and would run smoothly, with all the added graphical features on the PC. Things like reflections are improved if the hardware can handle it, and it is truly a sight to behold.

    Masterpiece, has a correct development of a father and son relationship, from being unknown to being close.
    If you follow the woke culture you could hardly enjoy excellent games like this.

    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.

    Happy it got ported to PC, and a broader audience is able to enjoy it. The only real addition is the ultra wide mode, which makes it look like a movie.

    About the game itself, it's visually stunning storytelling with great combat mechanics which can be quite challenging at the hardest difficulty. It's one of those few games that go up to 11.

The port is perfect, the controlls feel comfortable with mouse and keyboard or with controller (XBOX controller is integrated too in case you have one) or you can play with the PS4 controller too of course.
    In terms of history, sound, gameplay, etc... the game is the same of the 2018 PS4 version, so, it's absolutely beautiful and perfect. I don't know you can't really expect less than an awesome grade.
    I would recommend buying it on a "third-party" store e.g. Instant Gaming, Eneba, Gamivo, etc. as 50€ seems like too much for me for a 4 years old game and these stores are selling it for 30€ but it's Sony "re-releasing" a game, you can't really expect it to be cheap. At least they're not as expensive as Nintendo.    … Expand

    Честно говоря, по началу думал, что игра просто переоценена, ну как-то не зацепила. Особенно раздражали моменты, когда Кратос, на минуточку Бог, не мог переступить кустик травы, чтобы добраться до сундука. НО!!! по прошествии часов 5-6, мое мнение начало кардинально меняться.Честно говоря, по началу думал, что игра просто переоценена, ну как-то не зацепила.

    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 :)

    Masterfully game ported very well to pc. Just amazing work.
    its got a 97 percent positive review on steam which is extremely high. The only 3 percent having some issues with the mouse. It does play with a mouse similar to the controller camera stick. So that is a bit weird but its quite easy to get used to or you could use a controller. i certainly don't think it warrants a bad review.    Masterfully game ported very well to pc.

    It's an OK-game. But RPG elements & character progression are relatively limited, and story (albeit good) is very linear.

    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 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.
