Despite this gross reduction in enemy size the close-in camera often takes in no more than nondescript patches of flesh. And whenever you are launching melee attacks on enemies slightly larger than yourself, such as the frequent trolls, your screen is likely to be centered on their nether regions. A complete betrayal of the franchise and a terrible game, zero stars.… Expand

    Nothing new for a sony exclusive, and yet not a God of War game. pretty repetitive combat downgrade of what it was before. Story is simple and not that amusing. And of course a cliff hanger to continue the factory work of producing repetitive sony games. Disappointing

    You enjoyed GoW 3? Then likely you will not enjoy this game. Look at how brutal and badass Kratos was in GoW 3. In this game he is an old, wise-wannabe dumb fuc kre Plus that brat was annoying as fuc kre and there is not as many weapons in this game as it was in GoW3.

Very little story and too much meaningless fighting. Yeah I know it's a game called God of War what else should I expect.? Well a bit of a story for a start, maybe a character to care about. The character is some roided up alpha male with voice deeper than the Mariana Trench. He goes off with his son to hunt a deer, Kills a few skeleton things by swinging an axe, then had to fight some enormous troll, by throwing the axe. Which was not a short fight and pretty monotonous. Gets annoyed at son and decides to go back home. Presumably for a bit of story development. Nope! Upon arriving home another boss knocks at the door and you're thrown into another 10 minute fight of axe swinging, blocking and dodging only for the tattooed annoyance to heal himself for more fighting . That's when I turned it off. Perhaps the game gets better and stops being an unrelenting fight, Maybe one day I'll be bored enough to find out, But not today, I'll go back to Far Cry or something similar and collect some trophies instead. Only positive is that I bought it 2nd hand, thank the God of War that I didn't shell out the full price.… Expand

    One of the most overrated games ever. Kratos can pick up a mountain but can't jump down a ledge if it isn't scripted. Ridiculous. 1 point for graphics and 1 point for voice acting (kudos to Sunny Suljic for Atreus). 8 demerits for (a) Niflheim, and (b) Mimir's relentlessly boring stories.

If I had to pick one word to describe God of War, that word is Boring. And while I wouldn't expect every reviewer to have played the PS2 games in this franchise and thus be so disappointed with the many steps backwards this game has taken, I find it impossible to believe that any person of their own free will rated this game a 10.

    If this game is better than Horizon: Zero Dawn (as the review scores would indicate), then I'm the Prince of Persia.

    The most glaring problem, one that kneecaps the whole game, is that Kratos is a pu**y. Yes. Read that again. Kratos, the son of Zeus, mythical embodiment of the concept of strength, is a huge pu**y. Oh, he can perform all manner of godly feats of strength...in a cutscene. But once you assume control of him, he's got all the battlefield presence of Gumby with Cerebral Palsy. In the previous GoW games, Kratos delivered the beatings. In this, he receives them. Most every enemy you face can kill the God of War in 3 hits, and quite a few can do it in less.

    The combat itself is terrible. It's like a Souls game, without the variety or the tight control scheme that make Souls games worthwhile.

    Apparently not satisfied that they had turned Kratos into a pu**y, the devs felt they needed to further estrogen-soak the whole affair by afflicting us with Kratos annoying son, hereafter referred to as Choad because I can't be bothered to remember his name. Choad spends the game reprising the role of Forest Gump to Kratos Lieutenant Dan, incessantly spitting out dialogue to make you aware of things that are either obvious, or irrelevant. Thank you, Choad, for letting me know something is coming through the wall. I could not feel the ground shaking, see the wall falling apart, or hear the beast beating on it. Whatever would I do without you, Choad?

    Choad can take a beating much better than Kratos, though, so at least someone isn't completely worthless. I wish I could tell you one of these losers dies at the end, but alas it's not to be.

    The dialogue is likewise awful, a hackney affair of no substance whatsoever. The Last of Us did everything this game tries to do, better, a generation ago. The Teal'c and Choad Show just isn't very interesting. Chris Judge could have been a great voice actor for Kratos, but no. Sony clearly told him to re-summon his inner Jaffa, then overdosed him with antidepressants. A more flat, monotone treatment of this character would be hard to imagine, and that's especially irritating since they did it deliberately.

    A simple remake of the original GoW series would have been ten times the game this PoS is.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War ps4 is a drag to play through if you're looking for anything resembling the old games or even just a game thats fun to play. The combat has been stripped back to become a 3rd person axe shooter. The game looks great but theres hardly anything fun about graphics. The sad dad simulator is extra dumb when handed to an insane murderer like Kratos. Its Kratos levels of insane how lame the boss fights are when 1-3 really held them up on a pedestal. Watching your son stab Thor's son and push him down a hole seems like a joke when compared to flying through Poseidon's watermonster chest as You gouge his eyes out in first person. You spend the entire game listening to characters describe how scary and badass Odin and Thor are and you literally never see them (minus a whack post credit scene) The most disappointing thing is when you walk through the final gold shimmer of the credit reel having not been to even half of the bifrost locations. This game is whack, Cory Balrog sucks as a game director, god of war 2 is my least favorite of the original trilogy anyway. Its sad to be putting god of war in the "not for me" category.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought it can't be worse than the Last of Us 2 and I was wrong. A man who defeats Zeus, the God of all Gods, in this part becomes so weak that he can barely handle some minor enemies, while his son who supposed to be weak, can't even get hurt and there is nothing you can do about it: you may collect all the treasures, you may upgrade precisely all your weapons and you are still vulnerable. They wanted to do something new, I get the idea, but it just doesn't make any sense, it reminds me of Terminator Dark Fate, where they tried to show T800 to be more like a human, by portraiting him as a boyfriend of some woman. I am not convinced by this kind of experiments. At all. Not to mention that the dialogues in this game are shallow and boring. Just let people have fun again. God of War was always ridiculous but at least it made you smile and this game is just making me tired and angry and even beautiful graphic fx can't compensate it. I don't recommend this game.… Expand

    A huge disappointment. I honestly cannot understand how anyone would give this game a positive review, and origins of those raving reviews by gamers and media outlets are suspicious at best.

    Let's start with the fact, that the new rendition went completely against the established franchise gameplay, which is a massive no-no for me. If the developer wanted to develop a souls-like game in    A huge disappointment. I honestly cannot understand how anyone would give this game a positive review, and origins of those raving reviews by gamers and media outlets are suspicious at best.

    Let's start with the fact, that the new rendition went completely against the established franchise gameplay, which is a massive no-no for me. If the developer wanted to develop a souls-like game in the GoW universe, they should've gone with a spin-off and left Kratos alone. Instead, they simply spat in collective face of all fans who enjoyed the well-established formula.

    As I mentioned, the combat in this rendition is souls-inspired. But boy (pun intended), is it lacking! Combat can be described as repetitive, boring, flaky and unimaginative. It's bad. I mean, it's really bad. Blocking often doesn't block, parrying often doesn't parry, dodging often doesn't dodge. Often you get hit by enemies well outside of contact range, or facing the other way. There were times there were no attack animations whatsoever, so the only thing you could see was an enemy standing still and you taking damage. Horrible camera suspended right behind the main protagonist isn't helping, and enemies often race past to get behind you, only to attack you while your back is turned - and you can't do anything about it. It's a luck-based combat system, not skill-based like in Souls. Generally, prepare to get hit by tons and tons of unavoidable, unblockable and undodgeable attacks. Fanboys will shout that everything is avoidable, to which I say: not with the combat's level of flakiness, glitchiness and bugginess. To add insult to injury, the system was "designed" to put you in a massive disadvantage compared to your enemies. Your attacks get interrupted all the time, but you will have an extremely hard time trying to interrupt your enemies' offensives. Picking up health boosts during a fight works maybe 30 per cent of the time, due to messy and buggy animation frames. Does it even need mentioning that most enemies are massive damage sponges, and your "god of war" does nearly no damage? Yeah...

    Due to absolutely horrible combat, there practically isn't any difference between different difficulty levels. The hardest is simply the same torture you get on previous levels, only battles are longer, because enemies are absolute damage sponges. Kratos is supposed to be a god of - it's right there in the bloody title. Yet he stammers and takes 2 minutes to kill a basic bloody zombie, then suddenly goes back to former glory when facing off with the first boss, only to go back to an utter wimp straight after that. It just makes no sense. I would never say the game is "challenging" in a good way. It's only challenge is best described as finding balance between your annoyance level versus the amount of money you paid for it.

    The Boy. Ah, the Boy. He wasn't supposed to be annoying. And yet - here we are. His constant nagging, **** being rude and disrespectful - not only to NPCs, but to his father as well - is absolutely blood boiling. And according to the writers, who seem to be complete disconnected from reality, Kratos is just taking the abuse from the little brat with patience of a monk. How politically correct can you actually get? Kratos is a brutal, egotistic, proud and hateful god. And the game is trying to tell me he's suddenly a candidate for a father of the year? It's naive at best. Not to mention it's trying to re-tell a story of the most boring, standard, done-a-million-time-over type of a relationship there is, and it's not doing it very well.

    There's other stuff to complain about, too. The interface is lackluster and unreadable. There is a setting to increase font size, that does nothing at all. Default keymap is just moronic - I can't see any reason for having attacks on right bumper/trigger instead of good 'ole square/triangle. Fortunately you can change this. Map is useless and RPG elements are pointless, tedious and annoying.

    There are a couple of things I did enjoy a lot though. First of all, the game is absolutely visually stunning. It's truly close to being a pinnacle of PS4 graphics optimization, and artistic style is fantastic as well.

    Secondly, the huge amounts of Nordic/pagan folklore in the game is an absolute treat for people who enjoy discovering other cultures, mythologies, etc. My exposure to Nordic mythology was limited at best before playing this game, and now I'm very keen on discovering more of it.

    Overall, it could've been a great game, if it didn't focus on Kratos, had tight combat mechanics and maybe wasn't trying to tell a naive, politically correct story when there are other games doing who have told it in a much better way. It would still be some distance away from perfect, but much closer to the 8-9/10 that most of those suspiciously optimistic reviews are currently giving it.

    My suggestion - avoid if you value your time and sanity.    … Expand

    The saving grace, if you can call it that, are the gorgeous visuals. which is to be expected with games coming out on next-gen consoles.

How about an open world, with absolutely nothing to do? Do you like exploring said world and solve boring puzzles only to find some resources to craft really boring armor? Do you like playing a slasher with only 2 (actual) weapons on your character? No? Well wait, theres more. If you are like me, and tried playing the game on "hard" difficulty, also prepare to get bursted multiple times during any fight, while trying to deliver damage by such little amounts, you dont always see enemy healthbar being depleted. Everything in this game is a mess. They took a beloved character, and from an epic anti-hero with lots of internal struggle turned him into a grumpy dad. They took a great and well-developed combat mechanics and turned it into boring and annoying experience. They took beautiful linear story experience and turned it into another empty open world game. Granted, perhaps old god of war slasher would not have found such succes these days, but instead of approaching this challenge creatively, they just put different textures over horizon zero dawn (another beautiful, yet boring and uninspired game). The graphics looks nice, and the actors play well, but story is rather stretched and characters seem flat. Fight after fight you get the feeling, that devs had model limit, because you are literally fighting 4-5 mobs with different colours and sometimes weapons over and over and over and yet over again. Why these kind of projects become commercially successful, i will never know. When did good graphics come to overshadow gameplay experience. This feels like a spit in the face for any god of war fan, and any gamer, really. A pathetic end for a great series.… Expand

    Clearly too many paid reviews here, the score does not reflect the game at all. Was a huge fan of GOW games up to now, the originals were still much better! It's a mediocre game at best but lacks the controls and battle system that made GOW great in the first place.

Kratos has a son now, which with the exception of a few well placed arrows that comes in handy is more of a an annoyance than anything else. The trips to the "vendor troll" to upgrade weapons, armour, etc is confusing and way too detailed. And the bread and butter weapon that was Kratos' weapon the Blades of Chaos/Athena have been replaced with an Ax. No where near as fun to operate albeit the recall feature is pretty cool. By the end of this latest installment of God of War I found myself wishing I had played the latest installment of God of War. This game has merit, but it fell too far from the original formula to be the fourth in an otherwise great series of three. That old adage comes to the forefront here: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.… Expand

    I'll cut this review into 3 parts:

    1. Gameplay
    2. Story
    3. Replayability

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay in GOW has always been quite simple, but it was always made interesting by the flashy moves and combos you could pull off. This games combat is basically Dark Souls, with shoulder attack buttons??? I'm a huge fan of DS don't get me wrong but every single game doesn't have to base itself around that sort of combat system, it's getting kind of old now. Enemies are complete bullet sponges, with extremely frustrating AI, this is even worse when you factor these in in the AWFUL boss battles in this game. There are 3 original Boss battles in this game, Baldur, Magni and Modi, and the Dragon. Don't you dare call those stupid trolls they used like 30 times a boss. They knew the trolls weren't hard so they constantly put in 20 enemies with it at the same time. This is not making your combat system shine, SMS, it's making it show it's flaws. The camera can't fight five people at a time, they tried to remedy this by adding these red arrows to tell you when to dodge, but this makes it so you're looking more at that then at the screen itself to know when to dodge. And don't even get me started on the RPG elements, you're telling me Kratos, the god that killed the entire Greek Pantheon cannot kill a simple draugr if he doesn't have a bit more armor???? Wtf is this? Definitely the worst part of the gameplay as this leads to constant farming for better gear, again, FARMING IN A GOW GAME. I don't mind doing a lot of quests for EXP and gaining new perks and abilities, but not like that. They're blocking satisfying fights and stuff behind grinding, such a shame. All in all the combat gets pretty stale and repetitive so be warned. The graphics and environments look amazing but are underused because you spend most of your time inside, real shame.

    Story:
    This story, is so, goddamn boring. Let me explain, the goal of Kratos and his son is to carry Faye's ashes to the highest peak in all the nine realms. This in itself is already not the most interesting thing, perhaps the story will expand once you get started right? No, it doesn't. You don't even have emotional attachment to Faye's character because you never get to know her, you just start the game and she's dead, so how am I supposed to feel attached to this journey that's so 'important' to Kratos and Atreus while we basically don't know and don't give a **** about Faye. I see a lot of people praising this game for it's 'mature' look on GOW like wow so deep. All this constant talking (not only between Kratos and Atreus) makes this **** a walking simulator, forced walking segments with stupid dialogue between these characters. Is this what makes a game mature these days? Walking segments with expository dialogue? No this isn't interesting or deep it's straight up boring when this is what you do during 50% of the games story. Let's talk about the main focus of it all, Kratos and his son. I can see why a lot of people like it, and I respect that, but hear my side of the story. I thought Atreus' addition was a missed opportunity. It made Kratos look more like a **** then his older self. Atreus is not endearing nor cute nor fun nor boy nor nothing! He pissed me off more then anything in this game. He made me want to quit halfway through the story because of **** character. A huge sigh came out of my mouth every time he did something, I didn't find it fun to babysit this kid for the whole game, it just didn't do it for me. But I can see why some people do like him and get invested in him. What I did like in this story was Mimir, thank god that guy was there or I wouldn't have finished this game. As for Baldur, he was pretty interesting at first but became more of a nuisance later, mainly because the boss fight plays out the exact same every time you fight him, oh yeah after that it goes all DMC and he gets color coded so you can only damage him with the Leviathan Axe or Chaos Blades, so dumb. I could rant on and on about the story but i'll keep it to this.

    Replayability:
    This game has no second value, once you get through the main story, that's it. Of course you could replay the game on higher difficulty like GMGOW, but this is not a fun or challenging difficulty, it's basically 'enemies have 30k health and if you mess up once you're dead'. Side missions are uninteresting and you get jack **** for doing them. And the Valkyries are locked behind grind walls. Good luck killing them too 'cause their boss fight are totally fair. And before you say anything I beat Sigrun.

    My final verdict is a 4/10
    This game got hyped up so much and is overrated as hell, very disappointed by how it turned out, but I guess it's only €20 now so it's ok.    … Expand

    - Terrible Combat
    - Terrible Story
    - Terrible Game

    Never in my life have I put a review, this is the one and possibly the only review I am going to leave on this website.
    This game is not God of War at all.
    This is not Cratos.
    This game have nothing to do with GOW trillogy.
    I got this game on sale for half price and I STILL feel like I was ripped off.
    The god of war game is known for its hardest mode, which like resident evil 4, this is where the meat of the game is, in normal god of war games you play on normal, learn how the game works, then play on hard, but in this game the game becomes an unplayable glitchy mess.
    The game on "give me a chllange" is too damn easy, I was bored out of my mind for almost 100% of it since it offered no challenge whatsoever.
    Then I switched to hard mode (give me god of war) which is when I realized that the game is nothing but a glitchy mess, enemies killing me with one hit from offscreen where the camera is impossible to pan down, attacks that must have have a terrible hit detection (this is probably due to the game being glitchy, the game doesnt register hits), The axe does nearly no damage I can hit an enemy for hours and see a fraction of a fraction of their health drop,
    The dodge machanic is glitchy = The game has so many framedrops that it is impossible to time the dodge which is 0.1 second long (I tried to swapping to 1080p in the menu and it didnt help. I switched screens to a very cheap screen I have in my house and instantly won impossible battles since the 50 fps 720p screen allowed smooth action ) ,
    Another thing is that the game overheat my ps4 so that he fan becomes load as an airplan and the game doesn't look that good, I have better looking games that has zero effect of overheating (batman, resident evil 4/5 revolation 2 which look fantastic)
    The dodge is trash = The game is grid based meanning you are fighting on little squars and dodge is so tight it sometimes roll and instead of moving you 2-3 mini squars, it doesnt move you at all, meanning after the roll you will die from one hit again and again and again sometimes the roll didn't even give me invulnerable frames and not because I rolled into something, but because the game failed to register my movement.
    The combat is not functioning hence the score zero out of 10
    Now lets talk about the story
    This is copy past the last of us, the creators of this game didn't even want to call Cratos as Cratos, he was meant to have the name Stig and be a whole other person, this game just simply use Cratos as a skin, this is not Cratos, Cratos is a villain, a hardcore killer, he is a scambag, a bad guy. Cratos does what he does because rage consume him to the point that once he couldnt recognize his family, he is a deep well writen humanoid character that has anger issues. The new cratos is a Stig that is now nammed Cratos, he is a carring loving father that is monotone, never get angry, never get passionate about killing, just a survivor. Boring guy that has nothing to do with the original Cratos.
    His son is very very boring too, acting like eliie from the last of us by killing someone then being sad about it, screaming constantly in fights, say "whatever" a million times, he is boring, pointless, I hated every moment I had him on screen, even his fighting style was boring to watch, he has literaly "son button" (go ahead, watch it in the menu that is literaly how the square botton is named) and this is nothing but watching a timer goes down 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, can shoot another arrow now. And the arrow has low hit rate, this kid is always missing, when I need him to hit an enemy that tries to level up I have to aim the camera so that he knows which enemy I want him to hit, then press square and 90% the times he would miss even though I really need him to hit that arrow to avoid a major battle shift by having enemies leveling up.
    This kid is boring, useless, constantly screaming, having a personality of a robot saying whatever every single minute. I didn't feel like I want him arround at all.
    There are no intresting enemies only trolls and a few dudes with no creativity in how they look or behave, there is no passionate delivery of lines such as when Cratos used to stand his ground telling all the gods he will stop at nothing untill he have his revange, there is no jump button, everything is context sensitive, where in the other games you can and will die during cut scenes, in this game, cutscenes are there to hide the loading screen time, so you are never in danger, lots of talking paths where you are not a allowed to run, with climing which you cant die in which is basicly even more talking sections, the game is more of a movie than a game, you cannot skip cutscenes whatsoever, there is no replay value, The game doesnt worth the half asking price, the game doesn't worth a single dollar.
    This is pure trash.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Half baked, watered down, unfinished and clearly un-needed newest game of the God of War series. Terrible, repetitive combat and boss battles with little to no enemy variety. Puzzles take two seconds to complete and are only difficult and challenging if you're 7 years old. Open world is absolutely awful where you have to spam quicktime events all the time to get anything done properly. The story is an actual mess, with no motives other than to go scatter some ashes of a woman we have NEVER MET so don't even care about, whilst random, terribly written enemies come to attack you because this game needs some sort of plotline. Just as the game is about to get kind of interesting, when you find out that Atreus is Loki, it ENDS. By far the worst God of War game and one of the most overrated games I have played in a long time. To give this game of the year back in 2018 was an actual crime.… Expand

    Most of the enemies are very generic and the difficulty curve is completely artificial where higher-leveled enemies don't get stunned so you can't combo them, while 1 to 2 shotting you. Meaning you have to use a dark-souls-esque combat strategy which completely defeats the purpose of this game
    Most of your light and heavy runic attack animations don't have I frames (this is a HUGE overlook by the devs honestly), making a cooldown build an outright recipe for disaster.
    The rage system was a disappointment at best as it achieves nothing at higher difficulties other than build up some health while dying.

    3. Cinema > gameplay and quality of life features
    Looking at the game, it's obvious that this is an attempt to broaden the target audience of GOW, by sacrificing the core community once again. GOW as I remember was always combat-driven, with a plot built with the clash of morality and strong emotions. This feels like I'm playing another game with a Kratos DLC skin add-on.

    4. Meh skill/combo tree
    The combo tree is just horrible honestly. Most of the time, it was me going back and reading on how to use the next skill and thinking of how to use them in combat. But as you get in NG+, higher-level enemies start showing up, which don't get stunned by anything, making half of the tree completely useless. Rather the game becomes a grind to get the next best armor set.

    Some pretty cool stuff they've done:
    1. 8/10 story
    The story is well thought out with great music choices and scenic locations. The additional lore markers are a real treat for feeding in all the foreshadowing of the adventure to come. Mimir has become one of my favorite characters in this series with tales of side characters past and quirky remarks in general. The world-building is also pretty solid. The only issue I would have is with the side quests being in general boring and a lack of lore regarding mid game bosses which was seen in earlier GOW games.

    2. Amazing port
    Seeing how 90% of the console to PC ports can't handle a consistent 60fps unless you got a fire-breathing GPU, with the gods of Helheim cooling them; I would say the devs have done a decent job.

    TL;DR
    Really bad game mechanics and combat in general, but an equally good story experience. Treat this game like a playable novel and enjoy it as such.    … Expand

    Not impressed with this game at all. Didn't care much for the characters or the plot, and neither bosses nor regular enemies were memorable or well designed. They also should have excluded the puzzles: they are not fun but rather just stretch the game artificially.

    I recently purchased this game for $15, which was a fair price. These rave reviews are highly suspect. The graphics and sound are good, but that's the bare minimum for a triple-A title, such as this one.

If you see a reviewer make that claim, do not ever rely on their judgment again.

    So here's God of War for the PS4 in a nutshell: Gears of War minus guns and squad replaced with ten year old boy. You are on-rails - make no mistake...this is not an open world game. That, right there, basically renders this game inferior to RDR2, or even Far Cry 5. Also, while the environment looks alright, you don't really get much of a chance to explore it. Your basically thrown into a barrage of enemies right from the start. Not too long into the start of the game, your thrown into what I would consider a rather epic boss battle. So while I haven't beaten the game yet, from what I've experienced thus far, you basically never have a "cooling off" period where you get the chance to interact with other characters and build your character RPG style. Like I said, this is basically medieval Gears of War. It is, in essence, an on-rails beat-em-up.

    This is a $15.00 game. This is not the best game of all time, and it completely pales in comparison to RDR2. It's not even in the same league. I have never played a game where my experience differed so wildly from professional reviewers. Even the infamous Fallout 4 review deviation wasn't as extreme as this. I will say this, though - it could be that some are overwhelmed by the freedom offered by a modern open world game. It could be that some people prefer to be lead down a path with no ambiguity regarding their objective. If this is you, then you'll probably like this game.    … Expand

    After seeing all these perfect scores, I was honestly looking forward to playing this game. Especially after I've heard that it's not like the original games. Since I've only played the very first game and didn't like it that much, I had hopes for this one.

Especially after I've heard that it's not like the original games. Since I've only played the very first game and didn't like it that much, I had hopes for this one.

    Unfortunately now, after spending a few hours playing GoW, I must say that I'm very disappointed and I have a hard time seeing where these scores are coming from.

    From the get-go, movement and combat felt slow and clunky, as if it was trying to mimic "Souls" games... and failing at it. It lacks the weight and depth that "Souls" games have: Most encounters just play out the same, you slash, slash, slash away without thinking much about it - until the game suddenly hits you in the face with a frustratingly difficult encounter every now and then. After that, it's more mindless slashing.
    It's neither enjoyable nor interesting.

    Even the puzzles aren't much of a highlight. They usually seem to consist of "throw axe at switch, move somewhere, recall axe, repeat". And that's apparently it, at least in the first few hours.

    Also, while playing, a few questions popped into my head many times:
    - Why is this game open-world? The world doesn't seem to be designed to be explored and properly utilized.

    - Why does this game have an equipment crafting system? Wasn't Kratos supposed to be a pretty powerful god? Why does he need to improve his equipment, including his armor, of all things??

    - Why does this game have side-quests (favors) and why do they only seem to be there in order to give you more materials (see crafting system)?

    The story has the potential to be the redeeming quality of this game, but it's all dragged down by the frustratingly-samey combat and forgettable puzzles. The boredom that sets in between the story bits ruins the experience for me. I can not justify playing this game for anywhere between 20 and 30 hours (according to HowLongToBeat).

    Now, it's not all bad. I want to mention that the artists working on this game did a phenomenal job. The game looks and sounds amazing and the (voice) actors delivered fantastic work. Even the tech is impressive. In many sections it runs at a relatively stable 60 FPS on PS4 Pro, which I am very happy with.

    This means, however, that this game is "all flash and no substance", so to speak. Impressive in terms of artwork and tech but with almost nothing to back it up.    … Expand

Not a single average, let alone negative "critic" review, despite this games many shortcomings. Now this game looks amazing, the graphics and the area design are stunning. Sadly it's almost entirely inaccessible as a player, you're stuck to very limited pathways and funneled towards enemy areas where you fight the same few generic enemies and eventually a boss..and besides a few collectables and bits of story, that's about it, it's just repeating the same thing over and over, whilst surrounded by beautiful scenery that you can't explore at all, which makes the game feel like it's several generations old...oh hold on, you can smash pots...yep a game made in this era and we're still smashing pots. Then there's Kratos as a character, Firstly he's a demigod who apparently can't jump...Absolutely ridiculous. Now there are other great games where the main character or characters can't jump, but the gameplay design of those games is done so well that you don't really notice. In God Of War it VERY noticeable! The lack of a jump mechanic along with the very linear gameplay just take away any feeling of power from the character, which in a God Of War game is ludicrous. Climbing is another poor bit of game design. Kratos is only able to climb areas very clearly marked with paint, and he has to climb down the same way. At one point i climbed a small ledge to smash some pots (great fun...) and i had to backtrack to the painted climbing area to get down. it was a 4ft high ledge and Kratos couldn't just hop down..Again, a demigod who can't jump down from a 4ft high ledge...The main issue with all this games limitations is that they take away any feeling of immersion, and again make the gameplay feel incredibly dated. Kratos controls like a character from a generation of gaming that controlled in that way only due to the technical limitations of the time. I could go into the annoying father son story ( Akin to having to listen to your breeder friends who do nothing but bang on about they're effing kids because they assume you care as much as they do) and the fact that you have an irritating side kick to have to think about whilst playing. Atreus adds nothing to the gameplay is frankly just annoying..just like people who won't shut up about they're f!*king kids.

    In general this game is just incredibly underwhelming. It's a beautiful looking game that is let down by very dated, linear game design.    … Expand

    Many people will disagree, but this game is completely terrible when you compare the gameplay of the originals to the 2018 one. Destroyed the combat system, I cant even jump, the story is terrible, Krato's identity is gone the item system bloated, YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, no combo meter, all enemies are re-skins, less locations then the old games, EMOTION IS GONE, COMPARE THE EPIC BONEMany people will disagree, but this game is completely terrible when you compare the gameplay of the originals to the 2018 one.

I mean I could go on and on, This just alienates the hard core old school fans, and tricks newbies into thinking this is another uncharted 2. Money grab, and complete disappointment. Apparently people would rather have mindless content then a skill based game that takes practice to perfect.

    The creator of this game clearly forgot what it feels like to have drive based around impeccable gameplay, complete sell out.    … Expand

    I don't particularly like Uncharted and had my fill of the series after playing only part 4. And after starting up this game, for only a few hours, I found that it's Uncharted 4 all over again, just slightly different. For example: Disposable beautiful environments that you only see once, enemies or climbing sections around every corner for no good story reason, and a threadbare story that's there to make you feel cool/special/powerful without getting in the way of the gameplay.

    I was initially pleased by the dynamic between father (protagonist) and son, with the father being overly strict as to man-up his scrawny mama's boy of a son. Though that gets toned down quickly and I started seeing several instances where the father characteristically should have taught/disciplined his son, but he didn't. I assume the writers didn't want people thinking the protagonist was a total jerk, so they decided to tone down his strictness, at the expense of believability.

    Magical nonsense also happens frequently in the game. I was initially relieved at the introduction of a witch character as I was started to get bored, but she quickly turns into a tool to get you over pits and to new areas. Why she does this makes no logical sense, but in this game, gameplay and progression come before storytelling. And then there's a pair of dwarves that just show up randomly where you happen to be so you can upgrade your equipment. When one was pressed about how he got to a certain place so quickly, he eventually told us that it was because of his secret magic. Again, gameplay is more important than story consistency.

    I got increasingly annoyed by the story and repetitive gameplay that I gave up. If I wasn't an old man, I'd have more patience with and might even enjoy killing monsters over and over, but I don't.    … Expand

    After hearing all of the hype surrounding God of War 2018 and having a number of friends tell me that I “Have to play this game!” I finally decided to load it up and give it a play through.

    Upon starting it up, the scenery and graphics looked pretty amazing and I really thought I was in for an experience that matched my high expectations… Unfortunately, that's where it ended for me.    After hearing all of the hype surrounding God of War 2018 and having a number of friends tell me that I “Have to play this game!” I finally decided to load it up and give it a play through.

    Upon starting it up, the scenery and graphics looked pretty amazing and I really thought I was in for an experience that matched my high expectations… Unfortunately, that's where it ended for me.

    I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of a difficult game for that rewarding feeling of accomplishment when you finally manage to take down a foe through a dance of well-timed parrying, dodging and attacking in that small window when your enemy is vulnerable. God of War however, is difficult for all the wrong reasons!

    After investing quite a few hours into the game, God of War felt as though it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be From Software game or a Naughty Dog game and as a result, it failed at both.

    The combat had potential to be outstanding with great mechanics such as the Leviathan axe throw and recall, but with the extremely bland and uninspiring enemy design this adds very little value to the underwhelming game play experience.

    Unfortunately, the enemies are just absolute damage sponges, and this results in long, overly drawn out combat which becomes boring and repetitive very quickly!

    Even many of the boss fights, though they look impressive, are just plain, robotic and follow the same pattern of attacks.

    A boss fight should be exciting and an opportunity to execute the array of skills you have developed throughout the game up to that point.

    Unfortunately, The only thought I had when encountering a boss was **** here’s another enemy with a **** ton of health…”

    For these reasons, I actually found myself dreading each enemy encounter and the only satisfaction I found when clearing an area of enemies was the thought of "Thank **** that's over", and that’s only because I was now slightly closer to finishing the game.

    God of War gave me no incentive or desire to explore anywhere outside of the direct route I was required to follow in order to progress in the main quest line.

    Most of the crates I opened rarely contained anything of interest and in addition to this, most of the time I was required to complete some kind of mundane puzzle in order to open said crates…

    Next up, we have the upgrade system. At first glance it looks overly complex and maybe even a touch overwhelming. In reality though, it’s actually very simplistic and as a result, upgrading Kratos and Atreus is quite dull and uninspiring to say the least.

    Let's wrap this up by discussing the "story", or lack there of....

    Let me summarize it for you…

    Climb up a mountain to scatter the ashes of some dead chick who you (as a player) never got to see and therefore form any kind of connection with during the game...

    Throughout this fascinating Journey, you will also be privy to some incredible dialogue between Kratos and Atreus (Kratos’s son).

    Watch Kratos utilise his extensive vocabulary as he grunts convincingly at Atreus and refers to him as “boy” rather than call him by his actual name…

    Also, speaking of Atreus… I can honestly say that I don’t think I have ever hated a video game character as much as I hate this disobedient and whiny little ****

    Every cut scene where I was forced to stare at his **** ugly face just irritated me to no end!

    Maybe if the main plot line of the game was to burn this little **** alive and throw his ashes off the edge of the mountain, rather than his dead mother, I would have enjoyed it more…    … Expand
