    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One objective great part of the game, it's visual presentation is incredible. Everything else is just flipping the bird at what made GOW such a popular series in the first place.

    I feel like every good review is from people who didn't like the series before and now that its been filtered and altered to more "serious" and "mature" and "boring" it fits what mainstream audiences want from games now.

    What really bugs me about the story and gameplay is how the narrative between Kratos and Atreus is so apologetic about Kratos's actions in the previous games. Like he was the bad guy and *now* he's the good guy teaching his son better. And gameplay wise they removed all the "video games" elements so everything is more stifled and restrictive so it feels more in line with AAA games now.

    It just incredibly undermines every aspect of GOW. The games, all the emotional beats of the story from the last series, etc. It's like it was written and made by people who only heard about the GOW games rather than actually experienced them.

    Speaking about narrative, how it handles Kratos's past like he was some evil villian back in the day. He was extremely justified in his hatred and revenge against those gods for everything they did to him. They were conniving and manipulative **** who deserved to be wrecked by Kratos. It was only by GOW 3 where it went too far and he destroyed the world (and that was after he was betrayed by his supposed allies, there is literally no one Kratos can trust in the world).

    But for 3-4 games prior (if you include the cannn psp titles) the Greek gods thoroughly **** with him the whole time. He was a monster they made, not something Kratos is inherintly. No one even bothers to treat him like a person except Athena, even knowing how powerful he is.

    And this is not something just brought up in this game. A number of the games directly explore why Kratos became so violent, but it's even shown in GOW 1 that at worst before Aries uses him he's no different than any other Spartan warrior and that Aries started the decent.

    He even tried for a decade iirc to do it by the book and follow the god's lead just for them to pull the rug and use a technicality to not grant him peace from his nightmares. The guy tried. He was even tries to kill himself and the gods won't let him.

    The gods: tricked him into killing his own wife and child, lied to him constantly to use him as their hit man, sent his brother to hell for eternity, tried to kill him on multiple occasions, attempted to genocide his people, etc.

    And every time he tried to deal justice he has to deal with the **** of all the people defending the evil gods. I mean wouldn't you be pissed? Not even that often Kratos attempts to talk before attacking when faced with a new obstacle and they always basically tell him to **** off even knowing who he is.

    The only justification to him being an **** is how he treats regular people in the series as cannon fodder, but that I'll admit is probably a consequence of "edginess" they were going for but is rarely ever in canonical cutscenes. The reason this game turned me off outside the gorgeous presentation is that it feels like it was made by people who didn't like the original games and considered them to be low art. There are connections but it feels so pretensious that this slower paced over the shoulder bearded dad game is the more respectable game.

Camera issues, boring gameplay that is just mashing buttons, third person camera that doesn't fit at all with this kind of gameplay and actually hinders your skill. I could go on. But basically, next time, just do a standalone game, and don't stand on the shoulders of a famous name to get easy sales.

    A terribly repetitive game that lacks new ideas and concepts. Everything in this game has been done before, which is utterly disappointing. And the continuous repetition of activities is as foreseeable as it is insultingly easy. Fight, riddle, repeat. Until you can't just take it anymore and switch it off forever, wishing you had never spent any money on this.

    One of the worst games I have ever played. A **** disgrace to anyone who enjoyed the previous instalments of God Of War. Kratos turned in to a pathetic loser, one of the worst character assassinations I have ever seen. The gameplay is a futile rip off of dark souls and whatever else they attempted to copy. This isn't God Of War.

    This is probably the least fun and most boring game I've played in a while. Combat is boring and repetitive, story is also uninteresting, Kratos is such an unfun character and boy is just annoying. Nothing is good about this game other than the visuals. An insult to the god of war series. It's just a copy of Last of Us, Uncharted and a bit of Dark Souls in the combat.

God of War itself leads to very enjoyable moments but with everything, there's a catch. There is a lack of different points of view, the creator should have put more support characters to help guide the story. Also, the presence of more supporting characters would help the story by giving more than one viewpoint of the main conflicts. Through all its challenges and puzzles I would not be surprised if this game soon became ranked #1 for the year, because of the well-accredited reviews and wonderful gameplay that it provides. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Good:

    The core combat mechanics of throwing your weapons around is spectacular and satisfying. The aesthetics are cutting-edge, the audio is epic and enthralling with war-like Nordic themes, and the plot is stupendous. Every character is great and appealing with tons of personality, depth, and complex reasoning. If I were focusing on these aspects alone, the game would have a perfect 10/10. However, I cannot help but cut this elaboration on the good aspects short, as the bad aspects kept echoing in my mind at a much greater volume throughout the entire experience.

    Back in 2017 and up until now, games nowadays are released half finished, buggy and filled with micro-transactions BS and other untraditional business models that don't reward gamers that want to be good at the game.

    It manages to both please the propaganda media with it's agenda to replace every gaming aspect with movie-sob scenes with minimal gameplay & gameplay difficulty as possible
    And the majority of the gamers who since then have long dropped any standard expectations of a video game to have.

    - It provides the wanna be TLOU1 story with the son-father relationship, only with barely any sense of story direction
    - It provides a new combat that is different from the original, yet it's barely polished and tested, so they added in the LVL system bullsh-i-t to let players grind their way to the finish line
    - Provides more than 6 hours of play by having dull side missions that only serve to damage even more the directionless plot
    - Graphics look nice, but 60FPS be damned, let's stick to 30FPS. Don't worry if you're a PC player. Sony really isn't trying to save it's dying console brand anyway

    Besides that, the game lacks in obvious areas where's the old GoW games didn't:

    - Enemy variety
    - Boss variety
    - A **** JUMP button

    It's no surprise why Shuhei Yoshida "was horrified" when he 1st saw the game.
    It didn't live up to the GoW standards, and with Cory's fascination for writing "a script" and not a "game script", it's no wonder why video games strayed away from their core purpose. I.E. ..... TO DELIVER A FUN GAME TO PLAY

    So how come, with all these level of mediocre mechanics, did the gaming community still endorse this?
    For the the simple reason that GoW4 is a video-game product that is sold in the traditional way that doesn't asks more money from the player.

    - It's finished
    - Tested (alteast to the level it's serviceable)
    - Offers more than enough content to justify its price
    - And as I said before, you buy it, you get it. There's no catch. It's atleast honest.

    Wake me up, when clunky combat in video games is ancient history.

Надо навести камеру в нужную точку, чтобы появилась кнопка прыжка. Боевка - мне не нужно 70% навыков. Достаточно всего пары комбинаций. При всей бедности навыков… По сути все сводится к комбе р1р1р1р2, зажатому р2 и броскам топора, плюс еще пары навыков, остальное юзаю скорее по приколу, нежели чем для какой-то пользы. Люди создавшие местные лифты, с которых нельзя спрыгнуть пока они не додедут, заслуживают отдельный котел. По итогам, мне понравились эффекты, дизайн мира и графика.

On the ps3 God of War 1-3 were available, and despite some issues with the controls they were competing games. God of War 2018 looks nice, but that is were the issues start. There is no backstory it just, God of War and boy, and that is it. And there are no combos at least to start. Then the first boss fight is against a giant were you are supposed to use boy to shoot his arrows to stun the enemy and guess what, the arrows basically do nothing and the giant can take you down in 2-3 hits. Ok beat the giant the you get the next boss fight The Stranger, who you never know who he is or what he wants you just end up in a protracted fight. When you fight the stranger he will charge at you which forces you to use your shield and you miss and chance to counter. On a rare occasion you can finally attack the stranger and start to do damage guess what happens, suddenly right in the middle of you attack combo the stranger will counter your attacks stopping you combo. But you can't counterattack the stranger when he attacks you. Only played the first trophy but was unimpressed, not sure if I will play more. Expand

You cannot defeat even the 1st boss unless you learn all the mechanics and die a few times. I bet one could beat the game in like 8 hours if they made the difficulty more reasonable.

    It's nice. The sequence shot is good, but are we in a movie? This direction that these games are taking is starting to worry me. When you spend more time creating cinematic scenes, directing the actors to stage the actions, it's less time tweaking the gameplay. I played it like I was watching a mythology movie. I am unable to list 3 gameplay mechanics after finishing it.

It’s unfair and misleading for people who wants a challenge and gameplay mechanics that doesn’t feel as an excuse to stick together different cutscenes. As a film is a 8/10, but they are calling it a game

    Don’t understand the hype. This game was very generic and boring to me personally, the kid is way too annoying as well. Some of the boss fights were decent but nothing special. Hopefully Ragnarok is better but I don’t expect it be. Not a hater either I just really didn’t enjoy the game, the story was bland and predictable and visuals were nothing revolutionary like everyone claims. MaybeDon’t understand the hype.

I'm aware that there's 3 more passed games but to me, this felt like their first attempt at making a game I'm not known for leaving reviews unless the game is bad... though, this is the better game on a short list. I hope Ragnorok is better. Expand

    Safe to say that this is probably the worst AAA game we’ve had in a while, the characters suck, the story is boring, and the combat is just god awful. Went from a fun hacknslash with an engaging story to this boring rpg wannabe with a boring and forgettable story that takes itself way to serious (a common PlayStation trend) with a **** combat system

    This an average game at best you fight the same boss like 15 times 2 different ones repeated the valks&trolls. Graphics look good but the gameplay is very repetitive cant skip past foes even if your back tracking to an old area which you do alot of, theres only like 4 real boss fights the rpg mechanics are basically useless cause no matter how much you upgrade your gear it wont get better

    it should have been released with different name and slightly different story and

    Геймплей-однообразный, коридорный. Сбегай туда, сделай это, ой что-то пошло не так, сбегай теперь туда. Отстой, эти дурацкие сюжетные повороты просто портят игру.
    Ветка скиллов - отстой, большинство даже не юзал, вкачал какие больше понравились и с ними играл, нету

    Ветка скиллов - отстой, большинство даже не юзал, вкачал какие больше понравились и с ними играл, нету смысла качать каждый навык(хоть и скиллпоинтов дают достаточно много).
    Кто-то может сказать, что игра открывается на высшем уровне сложности, но это тупо. По мне игра должна показывать свой потенциал на среднем уровне сложности(как написано сбалансированном) на нём я и проходил.
    Тупые головоломки, до которых легко додуматься. Нет, я не прошу какие-то "Ультра-супер-пупер сложные", но хотя бы не повторяющиеся раз за разом.
    Нельзя и не отметить плюсы:
    Сюжет достаточно интересный, если вырезать из него тупые сюжетные повороты. За ним интересно наблюдать, а концовка даёт задуматься, что же будет в следующей части.
    График-шикарная, очень красивая.
    Вообще 4/10, от игры ожидал большего. Может на это всё повлияло завышенное ожидание.

    i don't wanna see back of Kratos, i wanna see fight place like in previous GoW games
    -gameplay
    GoW was slasher, so now, it's souls game, therefore we play not as God of War, we play as grandma with slow reaction
    -story
    game about weakness of people, that's not a gods. Usually the gods are harsh and unyielding, they do not change their minds, do not worry, and are always determined in their actions.

    My opinion: this game for family play, there is no brutal Kratos, there is story about father and son. There is story about their relationships.

    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]
