    Where it shines though, its the narrative and the feelings that causes you to feel. I happen to be a father of a "boy" also, and they nailed it, spot on. The story, even the side quests story is just shockingly beautiful and engaging. The relationship of the two protagonists is something we saw before however the focus on detail , the facial expressions and the camera angles (which you cant imagine how much difference it makes)..groundbreaking, excellent, truly amazing.

    I can go on and on, please take your time and play this masterpiece don`t care if its the game of the year or the game of the century,the attention to detail is something i have never seen before, it already shines in the ps4 hall of fame.Play it, trust me.    … Expand

However, they got the weapon you do use so is so satisfying and powerful and has so many diversities within itself that I never felt I needed another weapon. The story as well was powerful and meaningful. It's very impressive how they make gods and mystical creatures so human. Obviously the game looks fantastic and runs very smoothly, especially on a PS4 pro. The cool thing is though, this game didn't even reach its full potential that I'm sure the next game in the franchise will reach. The studio will be given more resources due to the success of this game and will most definitely kink out the very few flaws. Overall, this game is amazing and a must have for a playstation user.… Expand

    Literally great everything EXCEPT for interesting bosses. The enemy variety is lacking and the boss variety is comprised of different color giant troll/beast things. But that doesn't bother me enough to not love this game. Story is big for me and this game provides a somber story with moments of brevity from certain characters. LOVED IT.

    In short, if you have no idea what kind of game this is, it's a mix of Bloodborne-like combat but with combos, special attacks and an ultimate attack, exploration style game like Tomb Raider where you hunt for collectibles that are absolutely worth finding cos they give you in-game cash, XP and lore for doing so plus it's just plain fun. It has puzzles that are fun to solve, not too difficult.

    The DIRECTION of the game though, wow! No wonder it beat RDR2 for GOTY. Honestly, both of them should win but having played RDR2 first before God of War, I was skeptical as to how it won. But now I know. This is an EPIC game. Brilliant story, simple yet effective. Oh, if you love Norse culture, watch shows like Vikings, Thor etc, you're gonna love this!

    Man, the graphics, especially the characters, are out of this GEN! I truly cannot wait for PS5 and the sequel to God of War. It's gonna be mind blowing.

    What is the best thing about this game? It is it's narrative. Not story alone but the way it was directed, filmed and put together with great music by Bear McCreary. When I saw that cutscene was about to start I knew this is going to be good. If you are here to hear a great tale set in the world of Norse Mithology - you are not going to be disappointed.

    There is always a "but" in the review that starts like that and it is no different here. The world itself feels empty. There are only 9 characters in the game aside from enemies and unnamed ghosts with side missions. We are visiting 6 realms, we are seeing villages but it all empty. Sure - it is explained - but still I ended up with feeling that the world is empty.
    Going back to narrative - I love how Kratos, Atreus and Mimir are interacting with each other during the whole game (even after beating main story). You can hear a lot of great stories during exploration.
    The combat mechanics are solid. Deep and satysfying. Hard enough to engage but not too hard. I liked how after beating the story I started to care about my gear and crafting resources. It shows how though through the whole system is.The combat is a little too brutal for my taste (especially finisher animations) but that just me.
    One thing that was suprisingly good was Atreus as a fight companion. He really is helping and it was good to have it on my side in combat.
    Overall, one of the best single player games I ever played. I'm looking forward for the story to continue. Great job Santa Monica Studio!    … Expand

    Peca de repetido como todos los juegos es imposible no caer en eso para extenderlo, nueva area, pelea, escala, pelea, explora, jefe, repite, pero el combate entre todo esto es impecable, la idea de la hacha la sastifacion de tirarla y volverla a tu pano, creando combos increibles solo tienes que tener la capacidad de aprendertelos y podras crear movimientos como si fueran ejecutados en una pelicula, esto mas la combinacion de atreus que mientras vas avanzando igual manera va aumentando su poder, va creando sinergia con su padre en todo, tanto en la narrativa como en el combate, da gusto el escucharlos interactuar en sus conversaciones, mientras exploras vas nutriendote de la relacion de ambos y te sientes parte de sus problemas, pero mas gratificante cuando van mejorando, a esto se le agrega el trasfondo de la nueva mitologia nordica, que es excelente para dar el cambio, desde la griega (donde ya no quedaban dioses vivos gracias a kratos).

    Es un inmmenso mundo de historia donde con las conversaciones vas aprendiendo si prestas atencion y tienes paciencia para escucharla (me veia en ocaciones remando en el bote sin direccion solo escuchando las historias), con esto planteado, el juego peca en cuanto a personajes principales y su fin, es bastante simple y el final no es espetacular por esto, mas el juego su punto fuerte es la travesia, el desarrollo de habilidades y como aprendes junto a los personajes el combate, y ni que decir de los graficos, junto a Horizon Zero Dawn, este es el mejor juego graficamente en PS4, vale la pena jugarlo en 4k HDR.    … Expand

    God of War. A soft reboot to a classic Playstation exclusive franchise which began on the PS2 over 10 years ago.

After Kratos's 8 to 5 year hiatus, (Depending on what you would count as the last main entry) He's returned once again to show these latest Sony wanna-be mascots up, I'm talking about you Aloy and Delsin Rowe. This newest entry separates itself from past entries in the franchise, while the original games where all hack-and-slash, this new game attempts for a close, over the shoulder point of view which is a new perspective, which Santa Monica Studios has refined to a charm. The new style and take on the combat system is welcomed quite easily, for both veterans and newcomers. While it does retain a few elements we've seen prior in the God of War series such as combos, the combat itself requires a bit more of a strategical in higher difficulties. I personally recommend that you first play this game on "Give Me a Challenge" as the name implies, it gives the combat a more emphasize on strategy and being quick on your feet. Now, another element of the gameplay you'll see is the newfound is the new emphasis of exploration and straying of the beaten path. It'd be almost impossible to not at one point not further the story, and assist one of the many side characters with a mutual understanding that helping others helps you in the long run, as a matter a fact, the game at one point dwells on this between banter of Kratos and his son, Atreus. When Atreus asks his father why he won't help people out of kindness, and Kratos responds with it doesn't help them during their journey, and while he is right at that moment, it isn't much harder to look at the fact that you controlling Kratos know that you'll be rewarded for your progress in helping the many NPC's you'll meet. Now, while as of now, I've finally finished the game, and am writing this review, as shall say that the story left me wanting a bit more at the end, saying to myself, "Wait... That was the end?" If you ask me, God of War 2017 leaves the door open for Santa Monica Studios to craft a sequel to this perfect game. If it wasn't for the ending, and another couple of issues with the story, I'd give this game a perfect 10/10, but it'll have to settle for a 9/10.… Expand

    Хороший перезапуск, хоть и маловато врагов и атак, но а когда их было много в Гове?
    Видно, что разработчики много экспериментировали и как будто чего-то боялись, но я уверен из за хороших продаж, в следующей части нас ждет единственная вещь, которой не хватало здеся-красивых и зрелищных босс файтов.

So this time, I took the plunge and made the purchase.

    The game is simply stunning. The gameplay is almost flawless. The story has twists and turns which never stop amazing.

    As a person who knew virtually nothing about the God of War series, the game explained as much as it could without feeling like a typical "reboot". I found myself wanting to learn as much as I could about the universe, exploring every nook and cranny for information, clues, and secrets.

    The combat is great. At first, it feels like you are overpowered. A huge guy just smashing through enemies, but then it gets harder, grittier, intense. You are forced to stop running head on and actually take things a little slower, use the environment and your son to get the tactical edge. But, there are also points where you can take a left turn instead of a right, and find yourself facing an enemy that's extremely overpowered and one-hit kills you, which leaves you stunned.

    My only issue with the game is that it leaves a lot of things unanswered. I found myself googling how to reach other "islands", only to find out there is no way of getting to them. But let's be honest here, we aren't going to complain if they release a God of War II.

    (PS. Having gone back and played the other god of war games now, I highly recommend the whole series, as the connecting story is great!)    … Expand

The thing is that the simple but satisfying combat of the previous games is gone in favor of "telling a story" and sure looks cool if you're not actually playing it but I didn't like that you have a visual cue like in Assassins Creed to tell you when an attack is going to hit you, I was looking to that spot and not the whole screen. As for the story is an interesting one, and still feels like a God of War one, it excels in the character department, almost everyone is so remarkable, well acted and well scripted, everyone except for that "boy", is just an exposition device but an annoying one, I didn't buy that this kid grew in the wild, feels more like a spoiled suburban brat and also for the most part his relationship with Kratos feels too artificial, and speaking of Kratos he's still an amazing and cool character.

    In the end even the repetitive combat, the repetitive enemies (I think there's like only 3 unique boss fights in the game, everything else is just reskinned enemies), the annoying kid, etc, don't stopped me for finishing this game, is a fun ride but is way too far to be a masterpiece.    … Expand

    There are some changes that some people might not like but is a game that you can really enjoy, they managed to change the game as sgofy needs it, good story, brutal graphics, very inmersive expierence. The bad thing is that battle feels more slow and is not frenetic as used to be.

    Overall an amazing and epic experience. The only issue with God of War is the story while amazing and emotional it is a bit shallow. This game is clearly setting up for a new trilogy. If they added more god fights and more unique enemies, it would be flawless.

There are all filled with "this isn't god of war" crap. And "this is a souls clone" crap. This game is amazing from start to finish. It is not perfect. The camera takes some getting used to as well as the dodge mechanic. But this game is a welcome challenge compared to the old games(which i love) which could be solved by spamming square, square, triangle. The difficulty is brutal and that is probably why its compared to souls as often as it is.

    If you explore and use every technique given to you, you will be able to conquer this beast but it will be tough. Some bosses are extremely difficult and bordering on tedious much like the cerberus boss in gow(ps2).

    The graphics are top notch. Probably the best looking game on any console.

    The story is where things get tricky. For me it was touching and personal. For some its pointless becuase "I don't play GoW for the story". For others its kind of bland. And we are all right. The story will be up to the player and their emotions to decide if its great or not. But we should all be able to agree that the story telling(presentation) is also top notch.

    The game play is where this game really shines. The combat is frantic and fluid. It requires you to use your brain and not just your fingers as it is difficult. I can definitely see how some feel it is too tough and might blame this on game design. Not true. They have let their fustration get the best of them. STICK THROUGH IT. You might feel like giving up. Don't. Trust me you will be robbing yourself of an epic experience.

    This game feels right and as a long time GoW fanatic i didn't know how to feel about the changes but after playing i can say that this was the right direction for a series that felt a little blah after ascension. Everyone doesn't have to like it to appreciate the time and effort the devs put into this game. You can feel it. Just give it a try. Chances are you will love it    … Expand

    CONS
    -Uneven pacing
    -You'll be fighting the same enemies time and time again, so even though there is a good range of enemy variety, it is not enough
    -The game is just too long for its own good, it gets REPETITIVE.

The graphics are amazing for now, however I found the pacing of the game and story all over the place, jumping from one thing to another and not as enjoyable as previous entries in the series. The combat is kind of like "Dark Souls lite" with it's own unique game play, specifically the throwing axe. The music was top notch. The biggest let down however was the ending, which felt abrupt and anti-climactic. There a lot to do and collect in this game however after the end of the disappointing story I didn't feel compelled to complete it 100%. There is also a lack of interesting boss battles and a lack of variety in enemies and finishers which became boring to see very quickly unlike Doom 2016. A lot of the gear upgrades seem worthless or not useful and some of the move upgrades are unnecessary. Overall I had a good time playing God of War, it's far from the masterpiece that gaming sites have made it out to be, it's close but ultimately misses the mark; there are some great moments and some dull moments however it feels like half a story and hopefully it has a satisfying conclusion in the sequel.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, I wish the main story was longer. It was a bit shorter than I expected and was kind of disappointed in that aspect. Nonetheless the game is definitely a must play. I felt as if they were trying to give us a Joel and Ellie relationship, with Kratos and Atreus, and this made me raise a few questions about the game. At some points of the game, I was confused with what the developers decided to do with the story, like when you are trying to reach the light in Alfheim and an Elf Jumps out of the wall at you. If that was supposed to make the player shocked of some kind, then it failed miserably at it, as when it jumped out, I immediately said "Kratos is a God, so this is nothing". The game tries to make Kratos seem more humane, but honestly we still remember the angry spartan. When taking on bigger enemies, I again was confused at how difficult it seemed to take these enemies down, as in previous games, I understand that he is older, but he is still a God. Like the dragon fight should've been way better and should've been as gruesome as previous games' boss fights. One more thing that I have a problem with is that the Kratos and Atreus relationship felt forced and unsatisfying when I finished the game.

    With all of the negatives out the way, the game does what it wants to correctly. The combat is more enjoyable than I thought it would be and the fact that it is open world really immersed me into the game. I love that there is so much to do after the main game is completed and that the game gives a challenge in a lot of aspects. The story despite all the flaws was still good, but not the best. Sometimes I felt for these characters and actually felt as if the stakes were high. This really fits the game and makes it a much more enjoyable experience.

    Pros
    -The story is immersive and has good story telling
    -There is much to do when completing the game
    -The combat is better than it may seem
    -Open world is done properly and doesn't feel empty

    Change the gaming industry with just one game is not easy task for any company or game but for Santa Monica Studio and God of war seems to be just an ordinary task

    Uno de los mejores juegos de esta generación sin duda alguna. Y para mi, el mejor God Of War que he jugado, esta nueva formula solo acaba de empezar con este juego, pero tiene mucho donde explorar y también donde mejorar, no se pierde la esencia God Of war respecto a los anteriores títulos, este juego simplemente es llevar a la saga a un tono más maduro y adulto, y hay que decir que loUno de los mejores juegos de esta generación sin duda alguna.

    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.
