    One of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. A masterpiece which I am glad is finally on PC. I loved the PS4 version and was overjoyed when I heard it was coming to PC. A perfect port to PC with no bugs or glitches as far as I saw. A must-play in my opinion.

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

    Ever since its exclusive release in 2018, God of War set a new standard to how single-player focused role-playing games should be. That goes for all categories; Story, gameplay, world design and visual effects. I have played similar triple-A games (rhymes with "A passion's Greed") that fall into the same category, but don't even come close to this. Easy 10/10.

    Beautiful game, and I love the fact that they have "original" graphics settings to match the consoles graphics, that being said it very much has the issue that most Sony games have where the world missions and side content feels the same and thrown in just to make the game a little longer. It very much felt like a god of war game was with horizon zero dawns formula

    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.

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.

There are these hidden loading screens all over the place that make it quite annoying to move, not to mention that the Dad moves at snails pace. Dad can't even jump or do any sort of platforming, but rather you can press a button to interact with a ledge, watch a mini cutscene and jump on it. As a result, backtracking in this game is physically painful.

    Most of the game is a linear corridor, however that is disguised with fake verticality and platforming sections that amount to a lot of cutscene watching.

    There is also typical American / Hollywood propaganda here. Kratos (men) is useless and has a bad relationship with his son, Freya (women) of course is the opposite. It's all so tiresome. Makes you wonder in what kind of home were all of these writers raised.    … Expand

    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.
