    Супер игра, быть по-другому и не может. Но не близок сеттинг, геймплей супер, а проникнуться до конца не могу из-за сеттинга. Рекомендую конечно

    Definitely the greatest PlayStation 4 game of all time, and the highlight of the series. God of War delivers a fantastic narrative, deep and satisfying combat, awesome set pieces, a compelling world, gorgeous art direction, and a beautiful soundtrack. It is truly a masterpiece.

    Almost perfect i every way. I liked the most the music, the combat and the voice of the Serpant,it sounds so good when you play on your headphones. The only thing i felt lacking is more boss battles, which i hope will see in Ragnarok.

    God of War es un grandisimo juego que todo amante de los videojuegos esperaba con ansias durante estos últimos años, y era de esperar, es una gran saga que tiene un renombre y una de las insignias de PlayStation.

    En cuanto a gameplay se cambia la formula y pasa de ser un hack and slash a un juego mas pausado, pero sin perder el frenesí en los combates tanto de enemigos normales como de los jefes.

    El árbol de habilidades al principio se puede llegar ha hacer algo lioso, pero en cuanto van pasando las horas se va haciendo mas intuitivo, las habilidades se van desbloqueando mediante vamos avanzando en la aventura y tiene una buena variedad y profundidad.

    En el apartado artístico es un juego precioso, con una ambientación perfecta que junto con la banda sonora consigue una muy buena inmersión, el cambio de mitología no lo veo ni un acierto ni un error, es un enfoque diferente para poder explorar nuevos lugares y poder traer nuevas ideas a lo que es esta saga.

    Visualmente es una maravilla, explota al máximo lo que son las prestaciones del hardware de PS4.

    En cuanto a la narrativa el juego cada vez va a mas, una dirección muy buena que hace disfrutar de la historia y hace que quieras seguir jugando para saber que es lo siguiente que va a ocurrir. Una gran obra que si bien no tiene una gran duración y se dejan muchas cosas por ver de esta mitología, sigue siendo un grandioso videojuego.

    En conclusion, un videojuego que todo amante de los videojuegos debería de jugar, una gran obra que merece mucho la pena.    … Expand

When you have a game that has some of the greatest visual presentation I've seen and a cast of characters that are truly appealing and interesting, combined with an array of abilities to learn that create some of the most satisfying battles ever witnessed, you'll quickly forget that the journey is just a simple one about reaching the peak of a mountain. But hey, what happens inbetween is quite extraordinary. There's this one boss fight in the game that absolutely made me think....there is just no way I am actually playing this, am I? I was in utter disbelief. It's rare that games can make me feel this deeply about the experience I am having.

    The new God of War, nicknamed "Dad of War", game is a great reimagining of the beloved Playstation exclusive series. Forget the Kratos you knew. This is God of War meets The Last of Us and Dark Souls, in an open world RPG environment.

This is God of War meets The Last of Us and Dark Souls, in an open world RPG environment.

    Kratos is an older, bearded and surprisingly calm character who has moved from ancient Greece to the Nordic lands. Kratos now has a 10-years-old son named Atreus, and tries to teach him about survival and how to grow up. Along their journey to honor the last wish of Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother Faye who has passed away, they encounter many different kinds of beings and deities from the Norse mythology. The storyline is great and more human than past games, it will appeal especially to parents. The game's narrative has shifted to a more filmic approach, with the camera being close to Kratos' shoulder (Resident Evil 4-style). The camera is innovative in that it's a single cut for the whole game, there are no black screens between gameplay and real-time cut-scenes.

    Gameplay has changed into a Dark Souls style of open world RPG action game, with a challenging combat. Action mostly takes place on a single large map (Midgard) but there are 5 smaller ones (based on the 9 Realms of Norse mythology) to explore, too. The main story path is a series of linear levels inside an open map, but you can also perform other standard open world side activities (errands, side quests, challenges, etc.) in any order you want. That way you gain XP, materials and money to upgrade your stats, skills and equipment. There is no platforming, but there are some environmental puzzles like in the old games. Combat is very much like Dark Souls, you have a shield on one hand and a melee weapon in the other, plus some magical attacks. Atreus can help Kratos in battle, by distracting enemies and/or slightly damaging them with his arrows.

    Graphics in this game are beautiful, the best on PS4 along with Horizon: Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. On PS4 the game runs at 1080p/30 fps, on PS4 Pro you can choose between performance mode (unlocked frame rate 40-50 fps at 1080p) or resolution mode (checkerboard 4K at 30 fps). The soundtrack is also great. Voice acting is stellar.

    This game is great, but isn't perfect. Even though Midgard is a big open map, there are no roaming NPCs at all. Opening chests in this game usually means solving some boring environmental puzzles, and it can get tiresome. Boss fights are very few, you battle one certain enemy 3 or 4 times across the journey, and there are another 2 bosses (a duo and the dragon). Trolls and Ancients are really mini-bosses after you encounter these for the 1st time. The lack of big boss fights leaves you with the sense the game is a prelude to a sequel (especially considering the secret ending). Most enemies are fairly challenging and fun to battle, but there are some unfair encounters where high-level enemies can one-shot you even with the shield up. And because the camera is very close, you will sometimes be hit by your left or right when surrounded by entire mobs and die without seeing it coming. The human-sized enemies are OK to battle, but the larger ones are disappointing. Trolls are repetitive, the stone-made Ancients are horrible (you have to throw the axe to their chests when open). But the Dragon boss fight in particular was a poorly-designed attempt at battling a gigantic foe in a small arena. Nothing will ever top the Kronos battle in God of War 3.

    TLDR: God of War is an open world action RPG game with an actually great story to follow. The main story is 15-20 hours long, and expect to spend even more time than that on side content. It's the ideal mix of linear games and open world games, without too much linearity and with no filler content typical of open world games.

    If you like games such as The Last of Us, Dark Souls and open world RPGs, you 'll like this new version of God of War, but if you can't get past the old games, this may not be for you.    … Expand

    This new GoW is settle in the nordic pantheon and as the new gods, Kratos presents a new gamplay style (not a hack'n'slash anymore) more focused on the character and his adventure.

    God of War triology has always been a fun game, but it did not have much depth in history. This game is incredible, they just improved the old trilogy and give a new face to the saga and re-created a new style, worthy of our ghost of sparta.

This makes it even more remarkable what they were able to achieve here, as abandoning a fan favorite winning formula is often a recipe for disaster. They somehow managed to get so so many things just right. This time around GOW is more mature and for me personally managed to struck all the right chords. It is enjoyable to accompany an older more mature Kratos, who has grown somewhat tired of all the fighting and blood shed. Loved every step of the way on my journey to platinum. Stunning graphics, a grand adventure in an epic world and the pinnacle would be the deep and satisfying combat system. If I could recommend only one PS4 game, this would be it.

    God of War is definitely one of the rare beacons of light in the war against single player, narrative-driven games. This game is one hell of an experience and definitely one of the better games on the PS4 console.

    The game is very similar to The Last of Us due to the adult-child companion journey and the more I played it, the more the comparisons kept coming back. Kratos and his son,    God of War is definitely one of the rare beacons of light in the war against single player, narrative-driven games. This game is one hell of an experience and definitely one of the better games on the PS4 console.

    The game is very similar to The Last of Us due to the adult-child companion journey and the more I played it, the more the comparisons kept coming back. Kratos and his son, Atreus go through an incredibly similar journey to that of Joel & Ellie as most of the narrative focuses on their personality and character building. Though, the backstory of Kratos & Atreus is not as strong as that of Joel & Ellie's and so the relationship dynamic is not as interesting.

    This is a nice journey to experience and watching the characters evolve can be rewarding and fun to experience and go through, and while I cannot figure out whether or not to classify this as a semi-rpg type game, it is extremely linear with repetitive sections and puzzles. Yes, there are moments where you are free to explore, but the areas you can explore all look the same and involve the same mechanics as every other part of the game.

    Now without sounding like a complete downer on this game, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the combat mechanics, combos, and fights are all incredibly fun to take part in, and some of the side quests were enjoyable and rewarding, but above all else, this game got the most points from me for the absolutely stunning visuals and attention to detail by the artists. Alongside this, I have to mention that the Valkyrie battles were some of the most challenging, tough, and rewarding boss battles I have seen in a game in this generation, outside of Dark Souls.

    + Excellent visuals
    + Excellent world-building
    + Good story
    + Great adventure
    + Fun gameplay
    + Loads of activities and side quests (favours)
    + Fun & challenging boss battles (especially valkyries)

    - Linear gameplay
    - Repetitive combat, exploration areas, enemy encounters, and puzzle mechanics
    - No real variety of weapons
    - Not as memorable as older God of War games

    Overall, this was an enjoyable game, and is something that Sony can be happy about having as an exclusive for their console, and while this game was something incredible to experience, in the larger scale of all the God of War games, this might be the weakest of the four. This is an 85/8.5 for me.    … Expand

    В игре очень интересный сюжет, взаимодействия между персонажами, ну и очень приятная глазу графика. Жаль, что к середине игры ты уже встречаешь всех противников, с которыми ты можешь сразиться, развиваешь боевую систему до предела и понимаешь, что в плане геймплея игре тебе больше предложить нечего.В игре очень интересный сюжет, взаимодействия между персонажами, ну и очень приятная глазу графика.

    the story is cool but its not like the story is only cool in this one like the game journalists that haven't played the previous ones say. the gameplay is different from the previous ones, being more like dark souls except the camera placement is terrible.

    Masterfully, Santa Monica has accomplished what most game companies can only dream of setting out to accomplish – Perfection.
    They’ve reinvented their signature combat heavy franchise by enhancing it with a significantly more mature approach - AND they’ve done this whilst retaining the same brutality we all know and love from their original titles in the franchise!
    The combat has also evolved to a legendary new standard of gruesome and satisfying monster-slaying gameplay. And of course the graphics are truly awe-inspiring.

    You’ll be amazed by the attention to detail in almost everything in this new world take on Norse Mythology. I promise you, it’s nothing short of amazing to see THIS game company outdo themselves with such glorious finesse.

    As for those who have a problem with the new and improved God of War– my message to you is simple - Use your hard-earned money on some other souls like equivalent of your preference…or sign up for PS plus if you’re not willing to say goodbye to the old school games.

    This is not the game for you.

    But if you’re anything like me, you’ve been nothing short of ecstatic since that incredible E3 trailer, so let me tell you without a shred of **** It’s a thing of absolute beauty.

    God of War has returned as an insanely detailed cinematic experience. You’d have to be completely senseless to deny it.

    God of War succeeds in being simultaneously an epic adventure and a very personal tale. Or at least, it does most of the time.

The main story is great, and it helps me see why the game was praised so much. In God of War, the combat is solid, the lore is rich and deep, but most importantly, the story is excellent. It feels very intimate and human in a game where you've got gods running amok, dragons to see and a whole host of enemies that need killing. It really is a special journey, and one I loved experiencing. Kratos is an excellent character in God of War, And one who just wants to see his son be better than himself, and to avoid repeating the same mistakes he made. Watching Kratos' relationship with his son, Atreus, develop through the game was really engaging. There's just one part of Atreus' character arc that I thought was rushed over a bit too quickly, that being his more aggressive and defiant streak around the middle of the game, but it's possible that there's more to it that might be explored in the sequel.

    Where God of War lost me a bit was in some of its side content, which felt to me like unnecessary padding. In a game with such a strong linear narrative, I don't see the need for some of the additional content, especially when some of it is quite grindy. Although the combat is cathartic and satisfying, it alone isn't what made me want to play God of War, so after I finished the main story I was done with the game. Others who were hooked by the gameplay may enjoy fighting all of the Valkyries and grinding through the realms of Muspelheim and Niflheim for armour and upgrades, but personally I had no motivation to do so. For me, these parts of the game clashed with its identity as a cinematic story-driven experience.

    I wasn't totally sold on the RPG elements either, as they're another thing that just distracts you from what makes the game so good. They're not overly intrusive, but the loot system feels somewhat unnecessary. That said, you can get through the game easily without worrying about your stats and build too much, so it's no big deal.

    Still, this is a great game. It certainly looks amazing and utilises a one shot camera technique which blends cutscenes with gameplay to great effect. The character models are superb, and the voice actors do an excellent job too. The side characters are also well done - Brok and Sindri are loveable, funny brothers, and Mimir is an insightful and witty companion.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with God of War. Kratos' journey with his son was one I thoroughly enjoyed playing through, and as a newcomer to the series I never felt lost. The combat is fun thanks to the weight of the Leviathan Axe and the brutality of it all, and the game surprises you time and time again with more epic moments. The excellent mythos, gorgeous realms, and visceral combat all sell the grand scale of this adventure, and the writing, dialogue and performances make the journey truly special. God of War ends in an emotional and beautiful way, setting up a sequel that I'm looking forward to.    … Expand

    Not one for the hack and slash fighting games anymore. Trying to remember all those moves OMG brain overload these days. I still did enjoy the visual spectacle of the combat if I wasn't that really good at it. The game has a really cinematic feel to it all with no loading screens. Even though after a while it easy to spot the loading in the background areas. At a point the game started to drag and the filler and padding, became more noticble.

    Main story missions I got to feel like a powerful God. However WTF is with the over the top free roam difficulty scaling with do or die battles? When a single trash mob enemy is way more stronger and damaging than say a story monster boss or a story god boss? Then that makes no f-ing sense and is very immersion breaking to say the least this being the GOD OF WAR.

    Personally I would of liked a smaller game with less bloat. With consistent enemy scaling between story and free roam modes. The more I played the less I liked. Started at a 10/10 and dropped down to a 8/10 by end game.    … Expand

Where the series used to be a sort of DMC-lite, known for boss fights and stunning brutality, the 2018 game still has these strengths while being way more fleshed out and a more well rounded experience.

    The majority of the gameplay consists of exploration, combat, and puzzle solving, and each of these elements is very well done. There are interesting puzzles that make use of a variety of mechanics, though many of them are needed only for optional content. The level design is excellent, with beautiful and interesting environments with clever concepts, and the way the world interconnects is reminiscent of the original Dark Souls. Careful exploration and paying attention to your environment is rewarded with a variety of things to find throughout the world. The combat has also borrowed from Dark Souls, now being a kind of hybrid between it and DMC. There are still a variety of combos and attacks at your disposal, but with the addition of axe throwing, a dodge roll, the block/parry system, and the need to watch enemy animations to predict their moves, you end up with the best of both worlds, and at times the sheer number of tactics you have available to you can be overwhelming. Enemy variety is a little underwhelming, the camera can be frustrating, and on the higher difficulties the enemies can be too spongy to feel realistic, but overall combat is excellent. The addition of these elements between the cinematic moments and boss fights make the truly epic moments all the more memorable and awesome. A good bit of the side content is found along the way of the main story, but I would estimate that the main storyline is about 20-25 hours long, and a 100% playthrough with full exploration takes roughly 50-60 hours, depending on your difficulty selection. The game does have post game content.

    Surprisingly, the story in God of War is actually really well done, simple but well executed. The narrative revolves around the relationship between Kratos and his son, Atreus, and there are some really touching moments throughout the game as their relationship evolves and both characters grow. The story isn't laden down with unnecessary padding, and is very well handled.

    The gameplay and narrative are what makes God of War great, but the technical aspects are where it innovates and what pushes it beyond the average Action RPG. Once the game opens, there are NO loading screens, and the camera cuts away only when you pause to open the menu. Cutscenes, cinematics, and gameplay are all seamlessly woven into one, making the game uniquely full of substance while feeling cinematic, as though you were playing a superhero movie. Graphics and sound design are similarly top of the line, especially on the PS4 Pro, but by no means is a Pro necessary to have the game run well and look beautiful.

    Flaws in the game past those noted in the combat section include a strange choice of final boss that many (including myself) thought underwhelming, a somewhat counter-intuitive and cluttered menu screen, and RPG mechanics that seem tacked-on and not as well polished as the rest of the game. I'd say most would agree that the game would have been better off without the RPG mechanics and a ton of different items, with exploration that rewarded upgrades directly. Also, due to the unification of narrative and gameplay as one whole, replay value is somewhat limited, but the game was long enough that I'd call that a minor concern.

    Though the game has flaws like any other, these flaws are absolutely overwhelmed by the quality and polish of the entirety of the rest of the game. God of War 2018 is a rare modern masterpiece, a true 10/10. Dark Souls may have been unseated as my favorite game of all time.    … Expand

God of War is truly one of this generation’s best games of all time.

    It goes without saying that the visuals are absolutely stunning, and the music is epic, but what I loved most is the story and gameplay. The story just compels you to keep going and delve deeper into this Norse realm that Kratos finds himself in, and the title is just steeped in Norse mythology. The dynamics between Kratos and the other characters is just so much fun to watch especially watching the relationship between Kratos and Atreus unfold: I’ve never felt so connected and invested into characters as much as these two except for maybe Ellie and Joel in The Last of Us . Where the game truly shines, however, is the gameplay. As you explore the world of Midgard, you’ll often find yourself locked in battle with multiple foes. Just like the older titles in the series, you’ll utilize combos, runic attacks, and Atreus to brutally dispatch your enemies, and it feels so good.

    While the crafting system is good and offers a sense of character progression, there is just one minor flaw with it. You can collect crating materials to make and upgrade armor and weapons, but the problem is how inconsistent finding materials needed to craft items feel. There might be this piece of armor that you want to craft or upgrade, but the materials needed to craft it will come much later in the game, and you’ll have crafted something far better by the time you get that material. It feels off and messes with the progression a little bit, but nothing that affects the rest of the game.

    God of War is, simply put, a masterpiece of this generation, and one of the best games of all time. It really set the bar incredibly high for single-player experiences, so game developers will have some big shoes to fill and will be incredibly hard to match. I will be thinking about this game for a long time to come, and I honestly can’t wait to come back to Kratos, Atreus, and the world of Midgard in the inevitable sequel.    … Expand

This becomes very tedious as you can spend hours trying to kill one. For Trophy hunters id say think twice because you need to kill the Valkyries to get the Platinum.

Un punto contencioso, que yo agradezco, y más con semejante despliegue con el hacha, y esta vez no andamos solos. Otro prejuicio derruido para los más cínicos, no puedo contar las veces que el audaz Atreus me ha dado la vida en mitad de la batalla, no me caben en las manos.

    Me ha encantado recorrer Midgar. Descubrir secretos, ir en barca, deleitarme con esas historias salidas de una sabia cabeza. No estaba ducho en dicha mitología, carencia que supliré enseguida.

    Pero si algo me quedo con este primer capítulo por tierras nórdicas, es el saber que atrás quedaron también los días de ese estereotipo plano, aburrido y predecible para nuestro espartano. Ya puedo ver a un semi-dios, en el cual percibo también humanidad, me da motivos para preocuparme por él, por sus allegados. Percibo dolor, resentimiento, arrepentimiento, tormento por un pasado que hay que dejar marchar, dejando sus cenizas en la cumbre más alta.

    Por ponerle algún pero a esta obra maestra, creo que algún jefe diferente nuevo hubiera estado bien. Se nota que gran parte del desarrollo fue encaminado a establecer los sólidos cimientos de lo que intuyo será otra trilogía. También creo que hay ciertos eventos en la historia que no tienen respuesta aquí (intuyo que en un futuro la tendrán). Nada demasiado grave, que tiene además toda la pinta que será subsanado en la secuela, la cual espero con ansias    … Expand

    And I was right. It felt ridiculous that the ubermensch Kratos could be **** slapped by an elf with an exceptionally high [number], when that goes completely against is old gameplay. It also makes all equipment decisions boil down to which has the higher [number].

    But the reframing the moment to moment combat experience to that of strategy over brute force, you find that Kratos can actually beat monsters with [higher numbers].
    Which feel great to do, and ties well in with the lessons Kratos is giving to Arteus.

    So once that mental roadblock was hurtled the game is a wonderful romp through the lower parts of Norse mythology. I'm hopeful for the sequel that was teased.    … Expand

    Who would've thought a character as thoroughly despicable and monstrous as Kratos; the aptly named Ghost of Sparta, could receive such a prolific redemption in the form of one of the best games to be released in the past decade. With a story so gripping, gameplay so innovative and brutal, graphics so dazzling it blurs the line between reality and game how could you not want to give the big guy one more chance.

    The one issue I have with this otherwise astonishingly excellent game is that of the 'Give me God of War' difficulty setting. Naturally being the hardest difficulty it is just that; hard. The problem lies with why its hard, which is a result of enemies that absorb damage like a sponge absorbs water and hit you with sucker-punch one hit KO moves that make Kratos look like a newborn, given the name of the difficulty it comes off as fairly ironic in that respect. However in light of the game's achievements this can be overlooked.

    This game marks a bold leap forward for not only Kratos himself as well as the franchise, but for the future of the industry too.    … Expand

    The game is pretty slow at the beginning, doesn't feel like a GOW at all, but one you get the Chaos Swords the game is more dynamic and fun (at least in my case)
    The constant Atreus commentaries and Kratos responses are very annoying, but not annoying enough to ruin the game.
    Overall it's a good game, not as a real GOW, but a good game

    This game is just **** incredible. The combat is consistently fresh and interesting. The story with Kratos and Atreus is heartwarming and heartbreaking at times. God of War as a series developed into something much more mature and innovative. I loved it so much when I played it on PS4 and I loved it even more when I revisited it on PC this year.

The story, gameplay, characters, and graphics are all top notch. Combat was fast and fluid reminding me what I loved about Bloodbourne's combat. The story is fantastic and quite frankly I cannot wait for the next entry in this great series. The absolute only negative I have about the game is the lack of over the top great boss battles. I'm not saying there are none but there wasn't enough of them. So in ending all I have to say is that if you have a Playstation 4 this game is a must buy even if this is your first GoW or maybe you never liked GoW in the past this experience because that's what this game is is an experience you owe to yourself to pick up this game.… Expand

    Passion and attention to detail shine through in the new God of War, and playing it assures you that every moment of its five year development was spent honing the game into the best possible experience for the player.

    Much has been said about the no-cut-camera and cinematic presentation of this installment. I would like to stress that unlike other "cinematic" games that leave the player feeling more like a spectator than a participant, God of War's unique camera choices and seamless narrative enhance your connection and investment with the story and characters. Big, epic set pieces are a hallmark of this franchise, and never before has the exchange between well executed scripted scenes, and exciting organic gameplay felt better. What's more, the game has a deft enough touch to deliver on powerful quiet moments, as well moments which involve towering monsters and copious violence.

    Indeed, the narrative of God of War thrives on this balance, as we accompany an older, wiser, and more measured Kratos attempting to pass on the wisdom he has gained from a lifetime of fruitless bloodlust. This task is further strained by his frequent inability to communicate with his son. What is left unsaid is usually the thing that is tearing at the players mind after moments of critical dialogue. Once again, this is impressive subtlety for a game that will see you chopping off heads and ripping monsters in half. Yet the dichotomy works. Arguably, the dichotomy is the point.

    From a gameplay perspective, third person brawling has never felt better. The kit of available skills, weapons, moves, and playstyles is wide ranging. No matter how you choose to play, you're guaranteed a kinetic, frenzied, and exciting experience. Blows land with a palpable meatiness, and hard to execute techniques and challenging foes feel great to conquer. The RPG style progression also ensures that you'll always have a new move, ability, or perk to play with, keeping the combat fresh throughout the considerably lengthy campaign.
    Puzzles are perhaps a weak point. While they are used smartly to provide breathing room between battles, they often take the form of merely searching an area for interactive elements rather than requiring much logic. In some cases, they are rather a sort of minigame whereby players must perform actions quickly and precisely, which is fine.

    Some have argued that God of War suffers for lack of enemy variety. I did not find this to be a serious problem, because of the way old enemies are remixed and reimagined in new combinations and with surprising new moves and abilities as the game goes on. Even the frequent Troll minibosses will seldom play out the same way twice. Rather, I found the enemies offer a nice balance of challenges, requiring you to use almost ever trick the game offers at some point or another throughout your adventure.

    Overall, this reimagining of God of War is a fine demonstration of how far games have come since the inception of the series. The story is well written and well delivered by compelling voice actors. The narrative contains a full compliment of intelligent literary devices. The world is rich, cohesive and beautiful. Perhaps most importantly, the gameplay is superb, and will keep you coming back for more long after the main campaign is complete. This is a must have for every PS4 owner.    … Expand

    Very good game, there are minor problems i have with the game but they are only quality of life things... the story is great, the game play is fluid, the menu i don't like... you cant skip cut scenes if you have already seen them, and the toughest difficulty should let you know you basically have to know the game like the back of your hand before you can even attempt to tackle it.

    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]
