    La jugabilidad de God of War es igualmente excepcional. Los combates son intensos, fluidos y altamente gratificantes. Kratos tiene a su disposición un hacha mágica que puede lanzar y convocar de vuelta a su mano, lo que ofrece un sistema de combate versátil y satisfactorio. Además, el juego presenta una progresión de personajes y la capacidad de desbloquear nuevas habilidades y mejoras para Kratos y Atreus, lo que te permite adaptar tu estilo de juego a tu preferencia.

    Además de los combates, el juego también cuenta con una mecánica de resolución de acertijos y exploración. Hay numerosos secretos ocultos, cofres y áreas opcionales para descubrir, lo que te brinda una experiencia de juego más rica y desafiante.

    Never quite understood the high praise for this. It's great but also pretty boring at parts. Some of the puzzle sections are so mind numbing and unwarranted. Ragnarok does everything better, from combat, to graphics, to music, to characters, to story, to environments, to content.

    I really enjoyed this game. It looked great and the combat was great. Loads to do. Very punishing killing the Valkyries and getting a platinum but a beautiful game. The trials drove me mental and the ravens,,,, those bloody ravens. But worth it in the end. I am hoping the next one unlocks the other realms? Loved it.

    When I first saw the game I had doubt the being a action adventure game not being able to jump would ruin it. But when I played the game they cleverly made level design that kind of makes you feel you don't need to jump, but as a player of previous games, I always wanted to jump whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted, and this is not possible since most of the stuff is contextual.

    Even with that complain the combat is really exhilarating and very fun. What makes you "kind of " don't feel the necessity of jumping is the change of camera, which is a nice chance since you can see all the detail SM putted in the environments and that was not possible in previous games of the franchise.

    Also the story is really amazing with great performance of the actors. The pacing is also great, you can do side-quests if you want to or just blaze your way through the main story. It depends on what you want.

    If you could jump and go wherever you wanted as you wanted this would be a 10/10 for me, because it would also increase the combat possibilities of the game. I really cant avoid the feeling that in every action game the main character MUST be able to jump.    … Expand

    -Can be quite challenging at times... even on normal
    -Extensive skill tree and variety in combat options
    -Equipment/runes/stats - lots of different ways to build your Kratos

    Cons:
    -A lot of backtracking. You do unlock the ability to teleport from location to location, but it happens later in the game. Wish this feature was introduced much sooner.
    -Difficult to 100% the game without a guide, wish you could unlock a collectible detector or something after you beat the game to help find the last of the collectibles
    -Using the original PS4, noticed the loading times did sometimes tend to be lengthy.

    Overall: Loved it. Played every single God of War game and this newest entry definitely brings new life to the series. Didn't think it was possible for them to add more to Kratos' story, but this game proves that there's still room for many epic adventures for Kratos and his son.    … Expand

I'm not a big fan of fighting in games, so the fighting was kind of a chore to me and my least favorite part of the game. There's a lot of customization in regards to the fighting. I wouldn't say its the best action game ever, but I can see why its highly regarded. The puzzles were overall pretty good and I was surprised how challenging they were. The only irritating thing about the puzzles were sometimes you had to spend a lot of time looking for things. I like the open world design of the game, but I wish there was more incentive to explore the world. The different loot you get didn't feel that special to me and also the side quests just seemed like busy work. That said, I really enjoyed exploring the world and doing the non story part of the game. Another thing that felt was missing was the lack of other characters in the game besides spirits, valkryies, etc. The world felt a bit empty. Hopefully, they populate the future games with more characters. Perhaps, they were just trying to get the structure up with this game. The production values are probably the best part of this game. The graphics and atmosphere are phenomenal. And its hard to stop playing because of how good it looks even if I didn't enjoy the fighting gameplay that much. It's a great reboot that transfers God of War into a true open world design.… Expand

The combat and weapons are better than ever and the addition of different sets of armor and runes is a fantastic addition. Also, the story, setting and graphics are top notch. Norse mythology was a perfect direction to take this franchise. My only major complaint is the lack of boss battles and there was never that epic sense of scale that the previous games had.

    +The color is used to enhance the world. Some scenes feel taken out of a Marvel movie.
    +In the midgame the fighting feels powerful (the start was awful though, we'll talk more about it later).
    +The Stranger character is well-designed and with an interesting and logical story.
    +The game works really smart with huge characters (especially the dead giant is cool).
    +When you finally get Blades of Chaos back - it's **** amazing.
    +Even generic foes have interesting attack patterns and I needed to adopt to each new battle.
    +At some points "Be better" felt like a post-modernist joke and I was laughing hard.
    +Atreus is a real help in the fights.

    -The world feels empty. With no humans in it I don't care about the story at all.
    -Kratos is an awful father. And it was painful to watch how writers failed to deliver an interesting father/son dynamic.
    -In general, the serious and emotional tone of the game didn't work well together with a simple story and characters.
    -Like first 6 hours of the game are slow and boring adaption to fighting system. I've almost dropped the game then. An then in the ending Kratos was overpowered and I felt "Press X to win". Like RPG system didn't work well for me.
    -In general, I hated RPG elements. I was spending so much time in different menus trying to choose between endless stats which by the end of the game I didn't understand anyway.
    -The game doesn't offer much of the new. It's a mix of Uncharted, Tomb Raider and Shadow of Mordor. I've seen all this gaming mechanics before. Yeah, they've implemented well. But nothing fresh here. I always felt that I was playing a game instead of immersing in it.    … Expand

I played the game on normal difficulty, which leaned towards the easy side but still felt satisfying enough.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 100% mixed feelings with this one.
    i can see why people are posing it as top 1 game ever, but for me it's not quite.
    the game is absolutely stunning, visually, it's really incredible. the old battle system was revised but it's actually all the same (thats not a bad thing) but the world(s) even tho they seem to be open and big and full of variety and freedom, is actually a lot limited and predictable. and for such a big game of such a big company, the check point and save game aspects are really, really a turn off.
    In a game where you'll probably die a (whole) lot, these 2, 3 seconds further away from the battle start can be really stressful.
    and the fact that Atreus only shoot that **** arrow when I press the action buttom really pisses me off. **** I already have to dodge 300 spells and block 500 yellow hits and dodge other 600 red hits, CAN YU JUST **** SHOOT THAT ARROw wITHOUT ME HAVING TO ASK YOU TOO???? jesus... and the grab move is really boring and repetitive most of the times, not to mention that they can be hard to hit, because of you having to hold the action buttom instead of just pressing it
    but it's ok, it's all worth, really. the storytelliing is magnificent. the different combos, the many gear pieces, the runes, anchantments, the dwarf brothers are too hilarious, and may i mention once more: the visual of the game is just plain incredible. cant even count how many screenshots i took or how many times i just stand still in a corner just to look at the screen for a while.
    an awesome game, but i dont agree with how awesome people are saying it is.    … Expand

It was amazing what they did here. There was always the somehow valid critique that Kratos has become more of a stereotype character during the trilogy that was only defined by revenge and hatred. Here he has grown into a deep character. A man who wants to restart and bury his past (mistakes). His dynamic with his son Atreus is enjoyable and realistic. I always wanted to see more and was invested in the development of their relationship. Even more you see the unsaid emotions as Kratos is unfamiliar in his role as father and often struggles. You can also understand each characters motivations within the story and the character development is organic and believable. With Baldur, Mimir, the witch of the woods and the dwarfs you have a very strong task of support characters. The overall story is brilliant and engaging with some twist and reveals that will blow your mind. It shows also that you cant bury your past that easily. I must admit here that some obstacles feel a bit like stretching out the game but for me this is good because of the excellent gameplay. The gameplay and battle mechanics are also better than ever. Imagine that you take away the Chaos Blades and replace them with another weapon. This should create fallout and fans that should attack the developer. Instead you hear always praise for the Leviathan Axe and how good and creative it was implemented. This leads me to the game world and riddles. The graphics are so beautiful and the riddles are so interesting to figure out. The mechanics and riddles go hand in hand. Again saying the soundtrack is good is nearly unnecessary. It is a given fact for the franchise as there is no game with a bad soundtrack. They also add more RPG elements. You can improve your characters with better levels of armor, learn abilities and create / improve armor pieces. Some have unique abilities that can also be levelled up. While you have not the range of totally switching Kratos, what would be unfitting, you can adapt to different styles. The battle system may seem limited to some but you have all tools to be awesome. There is also a game-world filled with things to discover and explore. It is a semi open world that unfolds as the story progresses. My only negative point are some of the boss battles. While there are again some breathtaking awesome encounters they recycle one type of boss too much. Overall the hype and praise is true. This game is excellent and you want to see more. It will get his place in gaming history and will be regarded as highlight of the PS 4.… Expand

    God of War is about a Spartan taking place in the pantheon of Gods from Greek mythology - hes NOT some baby sitter in nordic setting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rebirth requires courage. Like Kratos, God of War 2018 leaves the past behind, seeking change.

    In the storyline, Kratos moved to Scandinavia from Southern Europe, had a new wife and a son. Upon the woman's death, Kratos and his son Atreus journey to scatter her ashes from the highest peak of the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology. But that's just the incipit and there's no lack of plot twists and turning points. The writing is good and compelling, including dialogues, characters and the edgy Kratos-Atreus relationship. Important issues are accepting the past, creating a new and better future. It's with the merciful killing of Æsir god Baldur, that Kratos truly proves to have changed. "The cycle ends here, we must be better". This way Kratos saves Atreus, saves Baldur's mother Freya - she willing to be killed by him is secondary - and also saves Baldur from making a mistake to which, yes, death is preferable. Similarly to Arthur Morgan, Kratos takes back what belongs to him: dignity. Other people in video games, e.g. Joel Miller, should learn.

    God of War needed a refresh, however, I was skeptical of the new gameplay formula. Surprisingly, the game is "more game" than I expected. Compared to the old games, God of War 2018 is certainly more technical. The Leviathan Axe, which can be thrown and recalled, is brilliant and has glacial properties, so it freezes enemies in place if thrown. Comeback of the Blades of Chaos in the second half of the game adds variation enough to partially turn combat upside-down as they require different tactics; their flaming chained rotation allows for better crowd control, limiting encirclements. Both weapons have spectacular magical light and heavy runic attacks that require cooldown and can be upgraded. The game requires efficient use of parrying and dodging, hand-to-hand combat and shield hits inflicts minor damage but unbalance and stun opponents. Bare-handed attacks reload the Spartan Rage, a power which temporarily makes Kratos an invulnerable furious boxer. Health must be restored by stepping healing orbs on the ground while Resurrection Stones (1 at a time) can bring Kratos back to life. Combat is impactful, satisfying and fun. The game goes beyond mere weapon upgrading like in the old games and is closer to RPGs: Kratos can of course upgrade weapons and unlock new moves but can also obtain, buy, or upgrade armor pieces and set from blacksmith dwarves Brok and Sindri. There are attack, defense, etc. parameters which can be altered with talismans and spells. Equipment has various rarity ranks with different colors and comes in various levels. Equipment level shapes Kratos' overall level, from 1 to 9, which is opposed to that of the enemies; this level ratio shapes the toughness of enemies. Companion Atreus is important with his bow and melee attacks and he can be upgraded as well. The game has an open world component, with enjoyable side quests and activities. There are good puzzles that also require freezing and burning properties of weapons to be solved.

    However, balance of such gameplay is delicate. I finished the game story and the Valkyries in "Hard" mode, so I think I know what I'm saying. First mistake: often, enemies are too numerous. Such slow gameplay allows to manage two or three enemies at a time; usually the number is the double at least. Second mistake: Kratos is too slow and clumsy. Enemies score chained slashes without the player being able to move Kratos (which is still finishing his animations) out of the way. Command input is just void. In general, it's clear developers used Kratos/enemies speed ratio to artificially increase difficulty. The pinnacle of this is Valkyries being way too fast for Kratos, some of their attacks are almost impossible to avoid, which constitutes the bulk of their challenge. Also, too much and too many different types of collectibles, making the game sometimes distracting and confusing. The game is certainly violent, however it lacks the gore of the old games which is an unjustified absence as much as it's unjustified the lack of purely human enemies or good old gigantic bosses, except a few.

    Graphically, the game is great, one of the most beautiful games on PlayStation 4. Great character models, little graphic details (joints, engravings, stretch marks) are very sharp. Environments and effects visuals are stunning. The audio component is equally high in quality. Rock-solid frame rate holds the gameplay action up. Overall, a notable tech achievement on the console end-of-life.

    God of War 2018 was a gamble. In the name of renewal, the game was at risk of losing its series identity. Cory Barlog and his team managed to make a different, yet worthy, God of War game, with a solid and technical gameplay and a compelling storyline. There are some important flaws but net sum is definitely positive. A PlayStation 4 "must play" video game.    … Expand

I could feel during battles that I was getting stronger.
    They could create advantages and disadvantages with armor upgrades (only two of the three Invaldi's armor should be there) but I believe the rune system indicates that you just have to become stronger for the most difficult parts. The only tip, is to get started with difficulty setting to hard, get stronger and then start a new game plus at the outmost difficulty. Don't get cocky. Sometimes the game is punishing as hell.
    During the first boss battle I was so overwhelmed for what to come, but only the Valkyries met the conditions (by far). The game doesn't actually has boss battles, only "preludes" for enemies you will face afterwards.
    The semi-NPC works really well and feels (actually it is) part of the battle.
    Finally, the graphics are phenomenal. You, sometimes, can stare for a while.
    All that said, the game is a must buy for a job well done and how single player games must be treated.    … Expand

Taking on the role of Kratos, you work on trying to take his wife's ashes to the highest peak to scatter them with his son Atreus. I was a bit leery going into this because I highly enjoyed the original God of War series, mostly due to the greek mythos. The game is a story masterpiece and shines in a time when multiplayer online games flood the market.
    Seeing the characters grow and evolve through their journey. The strained relationship between Father and Son adds intense depth to each character. The equipment part of the game was enjoyable difference from the previous installments.
    The only negative flow of the game would be the repetitive combat. Most of the combat through the game is just the same combos over and over with throwing in special cooldown abilities. Not saying it wasn't challenging because playing on Hard difficulty had a massive gear curve that had me dying and restarting encounters several times.

    + Spartan Rage

The combat is brutal and so much fun, especially as you move forward and start to unlock some of the upgrades. I started the game on "Give me a balanced experience", but it was a little too easy for my taste and it didn't encourage exploring too much, since I didn't need too many upgrades to make the game easier. I moved the difficulty up to Give Me a Challenge and that's how I enjoyed it the most. It's so cool to see how this father-son relationship evolves and also the stories Mimir tells you throughout the journey, he is the definition of a comedic relief done right, because he also helps in building up the lore of the game.

    For the most part, I absolutely adored this game. But there were a few things that I didn't love. First, it isn't exactly open-world (it's more of a hub world) and it isn't exactly an RPG. The game introduces certain elements of RPG gameplay, such as the semi-open world and the possibility for upgrades, but I felt like the world got repetitive a little too quick, since you explore a little, but then have a few areas locked because you don't have the skills to open them. Then, further along in the game you unlock the skills so you can return to the places you were before, but then I'm not motivated to visit those places because I've already been there. Another thing is the armor and weapon upgrades. I found that once you get to a certain upgrade, it's not really necessary to keep upgrading (other than for fashion) and I spent only like 10% of my hacksilver because, like I said, once you get to a certain armour, it can't get much better and so grinding through places like Niflheim and Musfelheim just to get better armor feel like a chore. These things are optional, sure. But I feel I have to mention them since they are in the game.

    If you are into the things I just mentioned, cool. And by the time you finish the game there is still plenty to do if you enjoy the grind. And certain favors and side quests reveal details about the story, which is cool, although definitely not essential. Overall, God of War is really, really good and a must-own for anyone with a PS4.    … Expand

    Besides the lack of enemy types and bosses, God of War managed to surprise and kept me invested the whole journey. The story, writing, and characters were all great, and the game looks marvelous. The game-play and exploration never got old, and there many great side activities and quests that kept me even more invested.

    Brutal, touching, funny, impressive, memorable... so many words come to me to describe the trip I lived with Kratos and Atreus, I'm now waiting the following God of War 2.
    One of the best games of the Generation.

    Excellence embodied. Apart from graphics, sounds, long gameplay and connected side quests the way they pulled off the story telling and these leveled and connected zones is creative genius.

    GoW is one of the must fun games i have ever played.
    I literally don't have a bad thing to say about it, even the boat rides which i thought would get boring after a while are a blast because of the stories that Kratos and Mimir tells.
    As much as i loved Kratos in the past God of War games, he was kinda one dimensional, in this game he doesn't yell as much and he actually shows that deep down his actually a good hearted god, not just a killing machine.
    This game sets once again a huge standard for the ones to come, GoW is a system seller for anyone who doesn't own a ps4 and it definitely deserves a spot on my favorite games of all time.
    A must play for any gamer.

    Que buen lavado de cara a la franquicia, graficos muy buenos, banda sonora bien implementada, buen gameplay, unos pequeños detalles que no me agradaron con algunas animaciones pero nada importante que afecte la experiencia de juego. Muy recomendado!

    This 2018 installment for God of War never faltered from being a single player masterpiece; and with this gameplay reboot, it's gotten even better -- catering to modern gameplay standards without straying too much from its roots.

The game's central gameplay, its combat system, is very enjoyable with various combos and mechanics that will only make the combat even more fun and cooler as you get better feel and mastery over the controls, it never felt repetitive and monotonous due to the level of character customization and unlockables that can be done and discovered throughout the game.

    While I am not a fan of metroidvania level design, which resulted in me blazing through the main quest doing little to no exploration, the side content of this game is enough to compensate for the game's main story, sadly, which is short enough that it makes you feel like you bought half the game. Even so, the story was a blast to go through complemented by impressive cutscenes (that transitions fairly smoothly with the gameplay), dialogues and pacing. I only wish it was longer.    … Expand

    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.
