    The new transformation has led to a new beginning. A new combat system still retains the style of the past. The new plot makes me expect the arrival of the second generation

    So let me just start off by saying this is nothing like The Last Of Us. Kratos is a much older wiser god with a godly son as well, and I think this fits Kratos very well better narrative great combat and stunning scenery! There has been a few bugs with the Boy but nothing game breaking. Being a Good Of War fan since the beginning this is what I've been waiting for! It's not over the topSo let me just start off by saying this is nothing like The Last Of Us.

    A new refreshing concept way of introducing God of War, has a deep story that will captivate gamers on spending plenty of hours of they're free time, 10/10 waiting for Ragnarok.

    GOTY WINNER IM SURE...

    Simplemente una hermosura...el mejor juego de God Of War que he visto (no tengo la oportunidad de comprar un PS4 y tengo que verlo desde youtube) vi el trailer de el juego en el E3 y en mi mente dije "tengo que rejugar todos los GOW" memorable, buenos dialogos, no hay momentos estúpidos o incoherentes. Es obvio que sacaran el GOW 5 ya que deja muchas dudas. EL    GOTY WINNER IM SURE...

I love the diversity in how I can fight my way through my enemies. People are claiming it’s too cinematic, well I would argue that it adds to the game as an artistic story and in one glorious shot no less (unless you die). To those that are complaining about its resemblance to other action adventures, what the hell is wrong with that? You have countless first person shooters and you don’t trash on those games for the repeated mechanic. All in all 10/10 isn’t deserved. Well done Santa Monica well done.… Expand

    It's hard to describe this game other than a masterpiece. It has an entrenching story, world class voice acting and stunning visuals. It is up there with Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, and The Last of Us. This game is truly a 10/10, highly recommend you get God of War today.

    God of War is way better than God of War 3. I found that God of War has the perfect balance between action, puzzles resolution and exploration...

    God of War é uma obra prima que cravou seu nome na história e se consagrou como sinônimo de Playstation. É um jogo espetacular, com um ótimo game play e com mecânicas um pouco diferentes do dos seus antecessores, foi um reboot muito bem aceito na franquia e justificando a mudança na mitologia ali presente.

    La narration est vraiment bien faite. Ce plan-séquence du début à la fin, c'est (au delà de la difficulté de réalisation) très immersif et renforce beaucoup l'histoire.

    Je suis toujours étonné par les graphismes, quand je vois qu'un si petit hardware (PS4 standard) est capable de sortir de si belles choses, ça frôle l'irréel ! Certes, ce n'est pas le plus beau jeu du monde. Oui, effectivement, le framerate a 30 fps, ça fait mal aux yeux. Mais purée, quelle claque pour une si petite console !

    Les combats sont réussis, on a vraiment une sensation de puissance. La mise en scène des combats, les mouvements des personnages, les finishers (qui sont toujours les mêmes, mais bon) apportent du piquant et subliment cette puissance, il fait bon d'être un dieu !

    Un must have de la PS4, clairement    … Expand

    My all-time favourite Playstation 4 game. Definitely worth the platinum trophy.

    I was initially skeptical of Atreus, i feared it would be an escort-mission-like game like Resident Evil 5. but i was very wrong. Atreus was very helpful in combat.

    The story was very good through and through, switching from main story to some side missions actually felt quite seamless. Lore is very rich and goes very deep.

    The music deserves its own award, i get goosebumps to the theme song sometimes to this day, its the perfect song for a perfect game, sets the mood straight away.

    Never been so excited for a sequel.    … Expand

    Es un juego muy entretenido con una historia que engancha con el carisma de sus personajes y su pasado. Se ve muy bien y es cómodo de jugar. No es como los anteriores God of War porque esos son el pasado (la etapa griega), ahora se ha renovado tanto en el apartado de la historia como también en la jugabilidad y en la ambientación.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is just incredible. Undoubtedly the best in the franchise and the best game I played in my life ... I can't wait for a sequel. Perhaps with Thor or Freya as the main boss. Being able to see all the power of ps5 in action ... And once again playing a masterpiece ... They took the chance to change the franchise, but they got it right. I already played in 2018 on the day it came out and I regret that at the time I didn't buy the collector's edition. This game deserves that and more. No doubt he deserved the game of the year and for me he deserved the best game award of the last decade in place of The Last of Us, but to be second is already a big victory. Never a game until 2018 had left me that way, having impacted me so much. To date there have been a few more, and most have been from Sony. The game is extraordinary and deserved all the prizes it won and even deserved more ... /
    O jogo é simplesmente incrível. Sem dúvida o melhor da franquia e o melhor jogo que joguei na minha vida... Mal posso esperar por uma continuação. Talvez com Thor ou Freya como boss principal. Poder ver todo o poder da ps5 em ação... E mais uma vez jogar uma obra prima ... Eles arriscaram em mudar a a franquia, mas acertaram muito bem. Já joguei em 2018 logo no dia que saiu e arrependo me de na época não ter comprado a edição colecionador. Esse jogo merece isso e muito mais. Sem dúvida mereceu o jogo do ano e para mim merecia o prêmio de melhor jogo da última década no lugar de The Last of Us, mas ter ficado em segundo já é uma grande vitória. Nunca um jogo até 2018 me tinha deixado daquela forma, me ter impactado tanto. Até hoje já foram mais alguns, e a maioria foi da Sony. O jogo é extraordinário e mereceu todos os prêmios que ganhou e até merecia mais...    … Expand

I am not the guy that sits and plays through an entire play without playing something else: God of war changed this and became the first game I just couldn't stop playing, and that is because the characters, the lore, and the respect to Norse mythology is so good. The ending is so satisfying and can't wait to see what happens next. Anyone asking if you should buy this game, just buy it and experience it for yourself… Expand

    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]
