    God of war is the perfect combination of the cinema music and games with an amazing story soundtrack and cinematic that aren't from this world

Everyone that owns a ps4 needs to play this just for the sheer experience of seeing a different side of Kratos and the amazing story told here,hats off to the team for making a game so great that it is without a doubt worth every dollar and worth its purchase. Do not listen to the bad reviews given for this game as they are mostly xbox fans trying to give this amazing game a bad name. If you own a ps4 you owe it to yourself to have this game in your collection.… Expand

    Excellent gameplay and story. Not quite as tight mechanically as say Bloodborne, but pretty close. It was far better than I expected, and I expected a lot. Easily my favorite game of the year.

    This is my first God of War title and i must say i was blown away. It strongly deserved game of the year and has become one of my favourite games of all time. The character interaction is so rich and refreshing, the combat is engaging yet not too complicated and the story will always keep you intrigued.

This game    Hi fellas, my real score is 9.5 I will you why later.

    To start I have to apologize to each and everyone of you my english is not A1 its not my primary language sorry for this but I think you wiol be able to understand me perfectly just not with the best grammar lol

    Well this game is just a plain masterpiece second best sony exclusive of all time behing the last of us.

    This game has so far the best combat system mecanics of all time and I will explain you why. Its so far the best thing in the game but you have to play it at the highest difficulty to be able to get the best experience the game can offer you. It forces you to use EVERYTHING you got cuz the ennemy are brutal intelligent and powerful they wont leave you a chance and each hit can be really bad for you they always on you so you have to dodge and block in the right moment to disturb them roll behind on the right on the left back off and come back with runes attack to interrupt sometimes their attacks or just running to them jump in the air with r2 to put a powerful axe attack that can damage them. Watch your back someones coming use your shield to block it and get out of there fast and come back with a good combo. Its just a minus example of what combat in this game look like a minus... The fluidity of the combat are more advanced than any melee game in the moment when you hit you can feel each attack the controller vibrate and sometimes even the screen the developpers wanted you to feel every single attack so that SO satisfying. Majority of the skills combo moves are so great by example one of them you hold r2 and Kratos give his more powerful axe attack but you cant do that when you want you have to be sure the ennemy is stunned or not in the way to attack you cuz sometimes they take 2 second breath but not often in the most highest difficulty you need STRATEGY some attack are good in that moment some other in other moment they made you choose lot if attack depending the moment you face you got so many way to attack that the game could be 100h and it would stay diversified. Another thing you you hit the axe makes a little stop when it land on the target like in real life like that you know you just hit something instead of all the melee game you have the feeling to have not hitting anything sorry I have difficulty to explain this particularly part but I understand myself. Trowing the axes and call it back is so good the controller vibrate again and so the screen to again developpers want you to feel everything thats why that game is so intense and got perfect mecanics who top every other game in the moment. No god of war in the past had things like that combat so sophisticated brutal where you can feel each hit to give you the impression youre in a real fight when a game is such intense like that you know you got a masterpiece. SERIOUSLY i got so many other things to say about those perfecf fighting mecanics but I will never finish so thats it for that aspect....

    Graphic are so beautiful. The world is so huge and got different environnment forest snow lake cavern crystal vulcan and lot of other beautiful things to see. Also its the very first game were the pspro is worth it. You got option for more resolution or more frame rate. I got that same option with horizon and shadow of war but I swear it doesnt make any change but in gow the frame rate option give you so beautiful fluidity im not sure if its 60 but clearly you can see a huge difference finally with the pspro

    Creature are great I still prefer minotaur centaur medusa cyclop but nordic mythology got some bad ass creature and im.especially talking about the huge snake WOW and when he speak is voice is so deep intense or **** I dont know the exact word but anyone who played the game know what im.talking about that was so incredible. You got lot of ennemy A LOT and for each of them you got lot of class so that make the the bestiary very complete. Im.not a fan of yellow blue orange blood but thats ok.

    Rpg skills xp heres the only problem with the game. You gain xp to much easily I will have all my skills before the half game... I would have loved to do two games to unlock all the skills. Your xp can not only unlocking skills but upgrading runes in your weapons. You can also upgrade lot of stat with your armor weapon and all your gear. That statistic upgrading system made me thing old classic like oblivion and diablo 2. So the rpg aspect of the game is another big huge change and improvment from the old games. Its very detailled with A LOT of choice gear runes moves and everything can be upgraded even Atreus and his bow but certainly not as Kratos.

    Open world well no more linear game of course its not open as a witcher or elder scroll game but a lot more open than a god of war or uncharted. You got plenty of side quest or just place to explore someplace youll have to come back cuz enemy are to powerful you go take more xp and come back. I cant write more I got 5000 character    … Expand

But what really makes it shine is the combat. There would have been so many ways to make this game go bad: cover shooting, hack-n-slash, too few types of enemies. The game doesn't do any of that. Combat is actually a challenge in this game, even on default difficulty. You can't stay back and shoot your way through, because enemies are too numerous and your "reload" isn't that fast. At the same time, you can't mindlessly jump into the fray, because you'll take to much damage and enemy shots tend to stun you. You truly and honestly have to plan and think on your feet: throw an axe, keep enemies in front of you, parry when you can, dodge when you have to, ask your partner for help, use "spells." If you're at all worried about this game's critical average being propped up by the presentation, don't. The combat in this game is rock solid. You WILL have fun with it.… Expand

    The game has an amazing atmosphere and somehow manages to create diverse locations in a world full of snow and mountains. It has a story that is simple yet complex that drives the character progression forward between the main character and his son, which develops without rushing anything.

    But that’s not the only thing the game has to offer. The combat is slick and enjoyable but above all it’s extremely satisfying! Everything from the way you kill enemies to the sound of your axe is just pure satisfaction. It also handles the loading times really well, which is often overlooked, which makes the game still enjoyable on the hardest difficulty where you die a lot.

    Though the game is not perfect. I wish I had one or two more options when it comes to the weapons because it can get a little repetative after a while. Other than that the exploration system is also flawed due to the fact that the loot gained thru exploring feels useless and to plentiful. The game also has a character stats system that is poorly implemented and some content in the game feels to "gamey" for my taste which ruins the immersion in certain instances.

    But even though the game has some flaws it provided me with an overall enjoyable experience and I managed to get lost in the world this game had to offer.    … Expand

Una pasada de juego y bien largo y con contenido secundario más o menos bien pensado, especialmente las valquirias.

    Como pegas, aunque esto será más personal que nunca, la cámara puede jugar alguna mala pasada en pleno combate si hemos marcado al enemigo. Por otro, el juego aumento bestialmente la dificultad con algunas valquirias. Tal es así, que he jugado en el modo difícil (el penúltimo más complicado) y más o menos bien aunque diría que he muerto más que en Bloodborne. Pero con las valquirias he tenido que bajarlo a fácil porque hay 3 o 4 que en ese nivel te pueden hacer sudar y darte una buena tunda, especialmente la última.

A fantastic experience for any fan of the series, and even a great game for newcomers to the series to start out with. With so much more content to keep you invested than any other game in the series, even after you finish, this game is worth every penny and is a must-own title for any PS4 owner. I would give this title an 11, but that score is solely reserved for Aladdin; a game released in 1993 based off of the movie of the same name by Disney. Developed and published by Capcom on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, it truly is a timeless classic that has yet to be dethroned from being the greatest game of all time, and probably will not be for many years to come.… Expand

    Long story short: this game is really not worth a 10, and a bit far away from 9. I would also like to state that I am rating this game as an experienced God of War series player and because of that I had some kind of different expectations towards it. People who are new to the series would not have this problem and therefore rate this game higher.

I would also like to state that I am rating this game as an experienced God of War series player and because of that I had some kind of different expectations towards it. People who are new to the series would not have this problem and therefore rate this game higher.

    To me God of War 3: Remastered was a masterpiece. What I really loved beyond comprehension is:

    1) Kratos. In previous games were a very big, very angry and brutal warrior, a god killer and you knew that everyone who steps in your path is going to get their asses whooped one way or another and usually it was going to be BRUTAL. You felt powerful, strong, a rage in its purest form and this game failed to deliver the same experience. You now have a kid, you now have to be smart, responsible, control yourself and share your philosophical insights.

    2) While playing previous games you always had this sense of greatness: you fought titans, you walked on titans, you fought gods, you brought them to their knees over and over again. You also met many different enemies, many different execution scenes and so on. God of War 2018 went really south with this section: boring recolors, low amount of enemy types, only few god fights and those gods look... Well, disappointing at best. No more "look, I am on a guy as high as the Empire State Building".

    3) The constantly changing environment. God of War 3 had this "I am in a completely different place now" feeling: you ran from fire on bridges getting broken, you ran on titans, you traveled on flying stones having to defend them, you shot canons at titans - the list goes on. There was always something new, dynamic and unexpected. This new game fails here bad: no more jumping, same environment (except the realms which won't really matter until you beat the game) , same boat, same water, same snow - that i it.

    Those three points really had a big impact on my experience while playing the game: its just not that god of war I used to play earlier and its not better in those specific aspects I've mentioned above.

    The graphics are great, the music is great, voice acting is great, the story is kind of good, but not really memorable. The fighting changes are also pretty decent according to me (except for the fact that you will have to suffer that camera pain since you never see who, how and when is going to attack you from behind except for red arrow indicator).

    This is why I can not give this game more than 8 - its just not that powerful and breathtaking God of War that it used to be.    … Expand

    Pros:
    - Some of the best graphics on the PS4 right now, only falling short of Uncharted 4. The varied vistas are breathtaking, the character/enemy designs are inspired, and the detail in every corner of the game is very much impressive. This visual fidelity extends both to spectacle and subtlety - with the graphics enhancing every aspect of the game from the intensity of battle to the characters' emotional ranges.
    - One of the best written and voice acted games in existence. Combined with the unique camera work and stellar direction, God of War comfortably rests in the highest possible echelons of cinematic storytelling in video games along with The Last of Us and Uncharted 4.
    - Engrossing take on Norse mythology as well as the God of War mythos. The story is more than strong enough to keep you engaged and I would guess that it will likely be the primary impetus for most people that play this game. Although there are issues with a few of the character arcs, God of War manages to overall maintain a consistently stellar level of quality throughout its plot, characters, and writing.
    - The Leviathan Axe is a highly versatile weapon due to its melee and ranged capabilities and the game very much pushes you to utilize its full capabilities at the higher difficulty sessions. In particular, the Mjolnir-like weapon recall system remains fun throughout the entire ~35 hour journey.
    - The visual and audio effects very much sell the impact and weightiness of the attacks in this game - making the combat feel much more visceral and satisfying.

    Cons:
    - XP and gold start to feel useless in the last ~25% of the game - which makes progression feel static in the post game. Enchantments do not have much tangible effect on overall gameplay besides from pure numbers and it's thus disappointing that this is the only part of your kit worth adjusting in the later sections of this title.
    - Repetitiveness is definitely an issue here when it comes to the gameplay. Although the game does have a wealth of interesting ideas, the low number of enemy types (or at least the ways in which you combat them) and dearth of unique boss encounters can start to make the combat arenas tiring. Furthermore, the long distances between objectives and the relatively slow travel speed of Kratos can make the game feel frustratingly draggy at times.
    - The climbing in this game is perhaps the worse I have seen in a AAA title. There is absolutely no freedom or player agency in these sections, even compared to games such as Uncharted or Tomb Raider. The sluggishness of Kratos's movements and the linearity at which you move through these areas makes it a complete bore.
    - The camera is great from a storytelling perspective, but it unnecessarily forces the gameplay to suffer. Although the designers ended up mostly succeeding in making the close camera work, I can't help but feel as if a more traditional fixed/controllable camera would have helped the fluidity of combat. Kratos should not feel so vulnerable - he should feel like a god.

    Final Word:
    Production and direction are at the zenith in this game in a fashion that is rarely seen. God of War is undoubtedly on top of the world right now and that is due to the massive budget and care that was clearly imbued into every aspect of the game's presentation. However, repetitiveness in several aspects of the gameplay as well as mechanical sacrifices made for the storytelling and atmosphere mar an otherwise flawless experience.

    “A promising start to a reimagining of a classic IP”

    Introduction: It’s has been 8 long years since we have seen Kratos in 2010’s God of War III. With a new mythology, new gods to defeat and a new way of combat, can this reimagining of the old PS2 franchise bring new life to this series? Let’s see as we delve into what does and does not work with God of War (2018). Story: The story    “A promising start to a reimagining of a classic IP”

    Introduction: It’s has been 8 long years since we have seen Kratos in 2010’s God of War III. With a new mythology, new gods to defeat and a new way of combat, can this reimagining of the old PS2 franchise bring new life to this series? Let’s see as we delve into what does and does not work with God of War (2018).

    Story: The story starts with Kratos and his new son, Atreus morning over the loss of Kratos Wife and Atreus mother. Her last wish is to have her ashes spread on the highest peak in the land of Midgard. While getting ready to go on this mission, a stranger, knowing of Kratos past, tries to stop them for unknown reasons. I won’t say anymore due to spoilers but it’s an amazing story. The new calm and collective Kratos dealing with what he did in the past makes for a more relatable Kratos and helps the story stay intriguing. The references to the previous games are enough for long-time fans to piece together what happened between this game and the 3rd installment but subtle enough for newbies to the franchise not to get lost, hence why this game is only called God of War, The father and son relationship is perfect and is the driving force behind this amazing journey. If you’re getting this game for the story, it’s easily one of the best parts of this game.

    Gameplay: The gameplay is just as brutal as the previous games but it has changed in many ways. The camera is now in a locked position and gives a more cinematic look for story moments and for combat. It’s very similar to what they do in Naughty Dog’s more recent entries. The fast-paced combat from previous entries is replaced for a weightier and slow-moving combat. This makes combat way more brutal, thanks with the help of Kratos new weapon, The Leviathan Axe. This new style is also mixed in with light RPG elements and a semi-open world, even though the game is still mostly linear. The RPG elements work well but I feel like they were unnecessary, with the exception of the skill tree. Crafting armor and dealing with different stats feels pointless. Last but not least, the enemies are great when they are not repetitive. I started to get annoyed towards the end when I started to fight a boss gauntlet of enemies I had fought many times before. Luckily, this does not start feeling like a problem till close to the end. Overall, the gameplay is fantastic as well. Just need a bit more variety in the enemies next time around.

    Technical: This game is the best looking game of PS4, hands down, even if you only own a regular PS4. No framerate drop and no load screens (Unless you die). The game is present in one singular shot from beginning to end and it makes the game more impressive due to it. The soundtrack is amazing, such a powerful score that never lets up from beginning to end. No glitches of any kind. This game, like most PlayStation titles as of late, is a technical masterpiece.

    Verdict: God of War (2018) is a promising start to a reimagining of a classic IP. A risk I don’t think anyone would take with an established IP. Having the courage to get an IP that everyone knows and turn it into something so different is just unheard of in this day in age. I applaud everyone over at Santa Monica Studio for make a near perfect experience. Just try to make enemies a bit more varied near the end next time.

    Pros:
    +Amazing Journey
    +New Brutal Gameplay
    +Powerful Soundtrack
    +Technical Masterpiece

    Cons:
    -No enemy variety near the end    … Expand

    Visualmente es un espectáculo, los controles y mecánicas son impecables, la ejecución cinematográfica es increíble, la dirección de arte es envidiable, la música (sobre todo el tema de Kratos) es memorable... todo es perfecto. Pero lo hermoso de este juego es que todo eso no distrae del corazón del juego: su historia.

    En tiempos en el que los juegos tratan de tener todo (mundo abierto, rpg, historia, batallas, acertijos, multiplayer, co-op, etc.) Este juego se limita, y eso es excelente. Como juego es perfecto por todo lo que tiene, pero también por todo lo que no tiene.

    It took 5 years for the legendary God of War series to appear on the PS4, but the wait was worth it! Santa Monica Studios took quite a gamble, by changing the camera to an over the shoulder view and replacing the chains with an axe, which totally modifies the combat mechanics, but thankfully is works just as great!

    Bought PS4 just to play this game! This game is awesome! Never played GoW before, but after this one - want to play all of them! Also cant wait to see next game.
    There is only one cons of the game, it's too short even with all side quests. :)

    P.S. When played second time - the game story become more understandable and full, imho.

    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.
