    One of the best games ever played, one of the best stories ever told. Characters, environments and animations are just top notch.

    I didn't particularly like the New Game + (maybe because I didn't want the game to finish, ever!).

    I thoroughly enjoyed the game throughout. The combat is very diverse and doesn’t get old though the enemies always have very large amounts of health which sometimes makes it tedious.

All the side quests are very well done and fleshed out making it obvious that they went for quality over quantity. Even though the game was very fun to play, I can’t help myself from feeling like this is just a setup for god of war 5. I was always feeling as the game was leading to show us Thor and Odin or important gods, but we never see them.
    It also shows three realms in the game that we can never access throughout the game. When the game ended I was a little disappointed since I was convinced I would go to Asgard or the other realms. This all made me feel like I was cut short and that I was forced to buy god of war 5 when it comes out in order to experience the whole story. All in all though fantastic experience that does leave me wanting more.    … Expand

    Phenomenal game. Although, I feel like I have to warn you of one thing. If you are expecting this to be like the original God of War games, you will not get anything like that. Instead, you will get a heartfelt story about the journey of a father and his son. It's a beautifully crafted masterpiece which is definitely my favorite game on the PS4.

The constant interplay between its emotional journey and its ragged, demanding combat draws you in and forces you engage with both elements in a way that brings new meaning to both. It’s a true blockbuster that’s sure to impress both long-time franchise fans and newcomers.… Expand

    Was totally caught off guard with the quality of this game. This new take on Kratos shows how far gaming as a medium has come. The gameplay is outstanding, the cast of characters are superb, and the story is an emotional ride between an absent father trying to fix a relationship with his son. Can’t wait for the sequel

    Following the death of his wife, Kratos and his son Atreus journey to fulfil her last request and spread her ashes at the highest peak of the nine realms. Unfortunately Kratos’ troubled past is far from behind him, and his journey soon brings them into conflict with the gods and monster of the Norse world.

Unfortunately Kratos’ troubled past is far from behind him, and his journey soon brings them into conflict with the gods and monster of the Norse world.

    The series has always been held in high regard for its combat, and thanks to the brilliantly versatile Leviathan Axe wielded by Kratos for the majority of the game, this is another step up from previous instalments. The biggest change however is Kratos himself, who has gone from being very much a one note character to something much more complex. He’s still as miserable as ever (sometimes comically so) but throughout the game his relationship with his past, and with his son, are very much at the forefront making him an actually protagonist rather than a blank avatar for the player to use to cause destruction. When you add the beautifully crafted world full of secrets to discover on top you have one of the best action adventures games on the PlayStation 4.    … Expand

    Amazing, even original combat system. Metroidvania/Zeldaesque level design. There many thing in this game that feel like they are pieces of other games just done extremely well. Playing GOW reminded me of playing the first Darksiders game, taking the best of many games and improving it, both games even had combat that was perfect and wholey original.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:

    * Awesome graphics.
    * Great story
    * New combat system is amazing
    * Being able to upgrade weapons and armor + craft new stuff
    * Collectibles and optional stuff gives exp for Skills and thus have a purpose
    * Very cinematic and cut-scenes are all rendered in real-time.
    * All areas area connected to one another so you're not being teleported to new locations but it actually feels like you're exploring one giant world.

    Cons:

    * Not many cools bosses really. You fight Baldur twice, Magnia & Modie plus the Dragon at the top of the mountain. Everything else just feels like mini-bosses. Compared to God of War 3, this is a bit of a letdown.

    * Some areas like Helheim and Jotunheim are really small and I had really expected a bit more.

    It's a good game but it's not perfect. After completing the story it's obvious that the game is more of a prologue with great things to come in the sequels, so hopefully we well be fighting Thor, Odin and visit Asgard at some point!    … Expand

    Really good game, for Sony already expected Sad Dad style of parentak figure having kid as side kick albeit Kratos is a bit of unlikable character without chemistry with his child (even harsh approach is not transferred well but to me seems more forced) and repetitive combat style but with great overall story and atmosphere and really epic scale adventure.

God of War redéfinit la manière d’intégrer le joueur dans son univer. Tout le jeu est « one shot » comme les films filmés sans interruption, ni changement de plan, ni écran de chargement. Rien à l’intérieur du jeu vient rompre l’immersion. Nous participons activement à ce drame familiale « Shakespearien » où les dieux sont des salauds. Nous incarnons Kratos, qui a vieilli depuis ces aventures épiques en Grèce. Nous participons à l’évolution de la relation avec son fils Atreus qui apprennent à mieux se connaître à travers leur voyage vers le plus haut mont des royaumes mythologiques pour y répandre les cendres de sa mère qui vient de décéder. Atreus, un personnage non joueur autonome devient de plus en plus sûr de lui et il est utile à la dynamique. C’est une autre de leur innovation. À un moment, Atreus devient arrogant et fait vraiment n’importe quoi. Cela affecte le gameplay de façon inattendu puisque nous avons appris à travailler en équipe avec lui. Le jeu nous faire vivre des moments riches en émotion qui m’ont surpris par leurs intensités. Du jamais vu avec un jeu vidéo ! Ils m’ont rappelé l’expérience de certaines pièces de théâtres où les acteurs projettent leurs états d’âme à quelques pas de nous. Tout est excellent : musique, graphisme, histoire, gameplay des combats et de la résolution d’énigmes. Un must 10/10 !
    More than the game of the year 2018! God of War redefines the way to integrate the player into his universe. The whole game is "one shot" like the movies filmed without interruption, no change of shot, no loading screen. Nothing inside the game breaks the immersion. We are actively involved in this "Shakespearean" family drama where the gods are bastards. We play Kratos, who has aged since those epic adventures in Greece. We are participating in the evolution of the relationship with his son Atreus who are getting to know each other better through their journey to the highest mountain in the mythological realms to spread the ashes of his mother who has just passed away. A non-autonomous player character becomes more and more self-confident and is useful for dynamics. This is another of their innovations. At some point, Atreus gets arrogant and really does something crazy. This affects the gameplay in an unexpected way since we have learned to work in a team with it. The game makes us live moments rich in emotion that surprised me with their intensity. Never seen before with a video game! They reminded me of the experience of some plays where actors project their moods a few steps away from us. Everything is excellent: music, graphics, history, gameplay, fighting and puzzle solving.

    One of the things that makes God of War so good is the way it builds on its past. It isn't really a reboot but a sequel that evolves on the previous games in the series. Throughout the game we are reminded of Kratos' past it adds depth to his character, intrigue to his future, and tension to his relationships. In terms of visuals this is the best looking game I have seen. The story telling…

    i was afraid of the son being a pain in the ass, but he is quite helpful and kratos learning how to do things is good.

    overall this might be my new favourite game ever    … Expand

    A lot of salty xbox fanboys with no games to play and nothing better to do are giving this a 0 as predicted, but their pathetic attempts will never change the fact that this game is awesome.

    What a great game! Sometimes with games you stop playing after the main story is over. With this game I kept playin well after I beat the main story. There are a lot of hidden extras through this game. Also the story is great with room to grow and the game itself looks amazing, This is a must buy and a super must play.

    EL JUEGO DE LA GENERACION. Es increible como han podido hacer algo así. El juego te sorprende cada minuto y no para de innovar. Una pena que haya tantas cuentas creadas hace dos dias votando cero, porque incluso la nota actual me parece baja para lo que da. 10/10

    A solid game, definitely worth experiencing. Solid mechanics great father son adventure. Disregard the OG fans hating on this game. The devs SAID IT WAS IN THE ADVERTISING a reboot of the franchise. Its also won its years GOTY. I'd say take the chance and play it and its a great way if you're a dad or mom to seem like a super parent XD. LOL

    Jogo com graficos maravilhosos,historia muito boa,a jogabilidade foi praticamente "copiada" do ryse:son of rome,é praticamente a mesma,com os mesmos botões,com tudo isso,faltou uma unica coisa para ser uma nota 10,a essência do kratos foi perdida,ele ficou muito fraquinho,mas fora isso,eu recomendo

    o jogo está imersivo, narrativa te prende ao ponto em que você se colocar no lugar de Kratos e de Atreu e acaba querendo mais e mais ver o desenrolar da historia .O gráfico está incrível e claramente vc nota uma fluidez na jogabilidade, acredito eu que o jogo não deve em nada aos outros jogos da franquia.

    As a comparison to the previous God of war games I rate this game 8/10.
    I really enjoy this game in terms of Gorgeous graphics, Very interesting and innovative combat system (you need to think before you act and decide how to approach an enemy more so than previous god of wars), an immersive story & setting, and nostalgia!

    This is a game where you are not the rough and tough Kratos anymore. Kratos is tired, he is no longer the brutal rampaging god slayer as in previous games, but is still able to do so. and that may be a let down to some players but I see it as a logical continuation and maybe even an end of our beloved hero.

    The game makes you feel hunted by the gods, you are popular and known for slaying other gods and whilst you take refuge in a Nordic setting, just as you think you're safe, unexpected troubles will wait for you just around the corner. Creatures that will want to stop you in the name of Odin,

    This is a new feel for the god of war and I like it. 8/10.    … Expand

    The game is very good but i would not say it's an excellent game by any mean , the main flaws of the game are firstly the combat gets repetitive very quickly the perk system isn't very well planned out , Atreus ( boy ) in combat can get pretty annoying after a while the pacing of the game is good but the overall story of the game is somewhat lacking so to speak , at last the game is veryThe game is very good but i would not say it's an excellent game by any mean , the main flaws of the game are firstly the combat gets repetitive very quickly the perk system isn't very well planned out , Atreus ( boy ) in combat can get pretty annoying after a while the pacing of the game is good but the overall story of the game is somewhat lacking so to speak , at last the game is very good but can be boring sometimes, audio design is excellent but visually the game is fine not to take away from its beautiful art design, also one flaw is frame drops which are noticeable quite often on both modes in the game i.e performance mode and resolution mode .

    This game has managed to update GOW for the modern era, whilst retaining the brutality of the series. Best looking game on the PS4 Pro. Love the Norse setting. Shockingly deep armor and skill progression systems.

    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.
