    El juego esta increíblemente sobrevalorado, es un juego con unos gráficos increíbles y ya esta, como película no esta mal pero como videojuego deja mucho que desear, por ejemplo:
    En las plataformas no te puedes caer. ¿¿¿¿¿????
    De hecho no te puedes caer de ningún sitio ni precipicios ni puentes... Los puzzles son ridiculamente faciles. Las muertes viscerales se repiten una barbaridad.

    No customization other than some weapon and armor options, too many duplicate mobs, after a while it's get boring. Atreus is really annoying and really don't know who want to babysit a kid like that.
    Overall it's a overrated game for the asking price. Game is linear, no reason to play after you finish the game. It would be ok if it was $30.

    I stopped playing the game shortly after the "AMAZING FIRST BOSS" because I was too bored with the story and gameplay to go on.

The game is very much clinging to the coattails of TLoU, which had the same cheap gimmick (hard-boiled action-dad and his spunky kid) but much, much better writing. I only gave the game a chance in the first place because critics claimed it did something interesting with Norse mythology. However, I found Kratos' son, Atreus, to be an annoying dispenser of Cliff's Notes and the first boss (who WOULD NOT SHUT UP) to be just another in a long line of GoW pro-wrestlers. Seriously, the first boss was terribly-written.

    The fluid, button-mashing combat that the GoW series is known for is gone in this entry. The camera is too close, attacks too slow, and errors too costly. Combat is slow, walking is slow, everything about the game is just too slow. The game world is beautifully designed but could not save me from being bored by the story and combat. This entry of the series claims to be a mature reinvention of a notoriously campy (despite its subject matter) series. GoW (2018) takes itself much too seriously to still have WWE-reject bosses. Games writers need to push themselves harder to make the actions of their characters (even when motivations are concealed) more realistic. It is good to be different and I am always hopeful to be engaged by a great story and interesting characters, but this game doesn't have any of that for me. I hated the gameplay, was not inspired by the story, and was unmoved by the characters.    … Expand

    Yes, the graphics are stunning and the storyline was promising. But the gameplay is not at all what I expected it to be. Very limited moveset and very little variety in the enemies you encounter. All around I was very disappointed with the result of the game.

    This is my first entry into the GoW franchise, and I gotta say I'm not impressed at all. I'm not sure how the other GoW games fare, but if they're anything like this one, I'm genuinely surprised as to how this franchise has gotten so popular.

I'm not sure how the other GoW games fare, but if they're anything like this one, I'm genuinely surprised as to how this franchise has gotten so popular.

    This game is simply not worth 60 bucks. At its core, GoW is an average parent-child bonding experience that has been integrated far better in other games. That being said, the story isn't necessarily bad, it just isn't as amazing as everyone is making it out to be: it's a serviceable narrative that you'll probably stop caring about halfway in.

    The combat mechanics of the game are actually pretty alright, but nothing to write home about. As you progress through the game, you unlock combos that make the game more fun and more intense, but unfortunately you won't fight any interesting foes that'll give you a challenge. Most of the time you fight small humanoid enemies and overgrown trolls; occasionally a good boss battle will pop up, but they are few and far between. Honestly, the combat system of GoW is wasted on horrible enemy design.

    The graphics of the game are impressive, and the scenery is truly mesmerizing, but as you explore you start to notice the world is pretty bland and for the most part not meant to be explored. As people have already mentioned, this game is a simple "go from point A to point B", with few detours along the way. Dungeon puzzles are rather simple and just put in to give the illusion of a well-designed world, when in actuality the extent of these puzzles are "throw your axe to freeze a bridge in place, walk on the bridge, recall your axe, rinse and repeat"

    So, GoW is basically a linear gameplay experience that offers nothing in the way of exploring its world or utilizing its combat system against challenging foes. If you want a game that actually offers a riveting experience filled with challenges and world exploration, try Bloodborne; if you want all that and an interesting narrative, try Witcher 3; if you want all that and the same parent-child bonding experience, play The Last of Us. Heck, I don't understand how GoW is getting so much praise when it does things that have already been done except much worse.    … Expand

    What does this game do better than any other action adventure game? The dynamic between Kratos and Atreus is so forced and it seaps into every other aspect of the game from its gameplay, music to its story.

    They made it unnecessarily deep. There was nothing wrong with the arcadey gameplay of God of War 1-3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mediocre game, because they gave up its originality and everything that made GOW and Kratos what they are. Important note: If you're still under the effect of the hype that was created on purpose as a marketing strategy to sell this game, you're not going to like this review. GOW games are my all time favorites, so I had high expectations for this one since it had large shoes to fill. Unfortunately, I ended up being disappointed, and for many reasons if you're patient enough to read on. I'm not saying the game is entirely bad, but for me there were many more cons than pros. I'm going to explain as best as I can:

    Pros:
    1. Good graphics that are highly detailed (even though there's a lack of impressive concepts compared to previous titles).
    2. I love how sassy Atreus and Mimir are.

    Cons:
    1. This game does NOT feel like GOW AT ALL. It seems like they've been trying so hard to copy The Last of US and other games that they ended up sacrificing the game's originality (and I assume for money and reviews). Nothing is unique about this GOW, and it offered absolutely NOTHING other games didn't already offer, so it ended up looking like a hybrid of The Last of Us, Dark Souls, The Witcher 3, and Lord of the Rings!! The game had lost its unique identity we all know and love because it has changed too much.
    2. Predictable, weak plot. I don't know why they gave up how angry Kratos was, wasn't his extreme rage what made him unique? Now that he's calm, what's so special about him? It feels like they tried to make a meaningful interaction between Kratos and his son, but anyone could tell from the beginning that it was gonna be a typical father and son story: they would have issues, but they would kiss and make up at the end. That was pretty much the message delivered. True, there are some interesting plot twists, like when Blades of Chaos came into the picture, or when Zeus and Athena appeared, but it seems they purposefully played on nostalgia to sell a story which would have been bleak otherwise. If you take a step back and look at the story as a whole, you'll notice that nothing of major importance happened. 3. The new "menu" system is unnecessarily overcomplicated. I think it was an attempt on their part to look smart by not making GOW look simple. IMO, simplicity isn't a bad thing. It can make things more enjoyable.
    4. Kratos feels very weak. Unlike previous titles, you will never feel powerful playing this one. He doesn't feel like a god at all. He feels like just an old man that anyone can kick his butt (seriously, ANYONE, including regular monsters!!) provided that they are 2 levels higher!! There are COUNTLESS enemies that can kill Kratos in ONE HIT, and if you've played the game you know I'm not exaggerating. He struggles with regular enemies almost as much as he struggles with bosses. This game forced me to play much more defensively simply because you'll lose over and over if you play aggressively like previous titles. I even shamefully ran away from many encounters!! Kratos is a lot less brutal than he used to be, evidenced by the way he killed Baldur (he snapped his neck which shows a much nicer Kratos than I'm used to). You'll never see a moment where you say "Damn!! Only Kratos can do that!!". Most of the fights will leave you with a sense of frustration rather than a sense of triumph and feeling like a powerful badass.
    5. The free camera makes you feel lost. I loved the guided camera in the past and how it makes everything look cinematic. Plus, the free camera is a huge pain during fights, especially that Kratos can't block from all directions like he used to. You'll find yourself losing focus on the actual fight and focusing instead on turning the camera so you can face your enemies, which takes away a lot from how enjoyable battles were in the past. Speaking of which, there's an extreme lack of epic music!! GOW was also known for its gripping music that gets you hooked, but this one feels like it's almost deafeningly silent from start to finish!!
    6. Lack of variety of monsters and bosses. They literally just change the colors and give them new names because their color is different!!
    7. Lack of challenging puzzles. There's basically one pattern of puzzles, once you get the hang of it, the remaining puzzles become very repetitive.
    All in all, this game was "ok" but not worth my high expectations and I definitely don't imagine myself having fun replaying it. Cory Barlog directed GOW II, which is my personal favorite in the series. I still prefer GOW II, so it can only mean that this one was disappointing to me. He had a huge opportunity to turn the tide without messing up the game so much, but he failed to do so because he let his personal life affect his work. It's hard for me to say that. I'm not just some casual player. I take this game very seriously and I never imagined myself saying all that about a game that belongs to the series that I love so much. Please stop being in denial.    … Expand

It doesn't allow me to feel Kratos as the God of war... I mean... in 2017 enemies could break my combo but I can't. I can perform my special moves but the enemy can go away... so different rules for the player and the enemy. That's is not justifable in 2018 for a AAA game. Are you **** kidding me? What's this **** Santa Monics Studio, please listen.. put your combat in the trash then take inspiration from the batman arkham series or Doom or bayonetta/DMC. Don't make a copy of a souls game and do much more and focused playtesting session with the right players (of course).
    Useless skills tree/combos, abilities spells/potions/whatever, all the **** rpg elements and last but not least the main map which is not helpfull to guide the player to a destination. Even the compass is useless.. and why it doesn't work in the Ivaldi's fog level? This has no sense at all.. Who designed that?
    And ladies and gentlemen...the main feature of this generation.. the farming.. man... a God of war with a farming section to unlock something that potentially could be not helpfull for the player against this **** The guy who greenlighted this needs to be fired immediately. How is this can be possible to even thinking to add a farming section??? Who is thinking that farming is fun???
    And for what? Levelling up is totally useless... at certain point of the game; I should be stronger than when the story begin.. right? No, I am not. For an unknown reason your power goes "back in time" because enemy are cheating. And cheating is used to cover the lacks of a poor combat game design with the common and abused excuses of "the hardcore player likes that". I have a news for you.. no, this is not fun and this is not for an "hardcore player". This is for people which have not yet understood what is fun and what's not. Doing thousand of time the same thing until your execution is totally perfect (due to a poor game design) is not fun. What is fun is try to find a way to win even if you have done some mistakes by using the skills (and game abilities) you have acquired during the game. Here is only a question of do the right thing at the right time and repeat it hundred of time it untill your enemy life bar is empty.
    Please, give the game in the hand of its original creator David Jaffe or someone who know what God of War game is and how to do a compelling AAA game.

The boss fights where not that exciting, the areas are too small. Some serious frame rate issues on the standard PS4, It can't even hold 30fps and in some parts dips down to a stand still. The visuals are good, but nothing that great. I wouldn't expect any less as each set piece/area is very small. I was way more impressed with the visuals in uncharted 4 and horizon zero dawn. There where some cool moments but so far just not enough to keep me playing. I will push myself to play more but I have a feeling its going to be very rinse and repeat from here on. I want to play a game and be in control of the character all the time, not spend 50% of it watching cut scenes and pressing a button when promoted. I will most likely get a refund for this one.… Expand

    The return of the furious Spartan warrior was made well. God of War is already a great contender for game of the year and you shouldn't miss it. [Issue#285]

    Cory Barlog and his team achieved what many thought impossible – despite having changed almost everything Santa Monica managed to preserve that elusive spark that makes God of War game feel like a God of War game. They created one of the defining titles of the current generation and a technical marvel whose stunning beauty in motion words cannot describe. And there’s one more thing. Barlog’s touching reaction to his masterpiece’s scores shows that even in the world of huge budgets, micropayments, loot boxes and sales forecasts there still is a place for artists who pour their hearts into their work. We need someone to remind us of that once in a while. [06/2018, p.38]

    Where most games excel in one single area, God of War manages to deliver on every front, providing players with one of the best experiences we’ve seen so far this generation.
