    God Of War...juego que me dejo sin palabras desde el primer momento y no se dan idea lo que ansió la próxima entrega, es sencillamente asombroso y super divertido aventurarse en este mundo semi abierto junto con Kratos y Atreus.

    Покупал диск с рук на Авито за 3 тыщи чуть ли не в первый месяц продаж игры. Ещё и купил Day One Edition, хе.

    Ну что могу сказать по самой игре...
    Плюсы:
    1)Постановка - одной из особенностью игры является то, что всё ведётся "одним дублем", как в том же "Бёрдмэне"; постановка просто восхитительна, камера зачастую берёт максимально пафосные, эпичные и крутые планы.
    2)Геймплей - говорю по личным ощущениям. Мне эта игра показалась помесью Souls-like и слэшера, потому что от всех этих уворотов, кувырков, сильных/слабых ударов и прочего - ловятся Лордранские флешбеки. Особенно это чувствуется в битвах с Валькириями, где без прямых рук - не пройти.
    3)Ощущение боёвки - хоспаде, ощущение бросков и ударов Левиафаном и Клинками Хаоса - просто божественны. Sony SantaMonica провели просто божественную работу над вибрацией Дуалшока и ощущением отдачи.
    4)Сюжет - сюжет короткий, интересный и крайне локальный. Крайне надеюсь на его развитие в следующих частях, особенно после такого клифхенгера в виде Тора в конце игры.
    5)Музыкальное сопровождение - музыку вне игры не слушал, но как же она шикарно подходит самой игре - пафосно, эпично, К Р У Т О.
    6)Графен - завезли, он прекрасен. Удивительно, что такая старушка, как PS4fat его тянет.
    7) С Ы Н
    Минусы:
    1)Боссы - однообразные, скучные, сука, Элементали и Тролли... Но Бессмертный Дрищ крут, очень.
    2)Дизайн локаций и бэктрекинг - бляха, ненавижу бэктрекинг - БЕГАТЬ НАЗАД ЗА ВСЯКИМ ДЕРЬМОМ ЭТО ЖЕ ТАААААААААК ВЕСЕЛО, ДА. А ещё очень сильно раздражало, что могущественный Кратос не может перепрыгнуть или спрыгнуть не с предусмотренных игрой мест.
    3)Унылый дроч. И под этим я имею в виду Нильфхейм и всякую фигню по типу Петухов Одина, разбитых горшков, трансформаторных Ш-пластин и прочего коллекционного мусора. Это просто раздражает.

    Лично по моему мнению игра стала взрослее, глубже, теперь я знаю Кратоса полность. Не как кровожадную машину убийств, а как личность хоть он и бог, но при помомощи этой части мы узнали что в Кратосе есть что-то человеческое. Если бы была бы оценка оценка 1000000000 из 10, я бы поставил её.

It revolutionizes filmic story telling in video games by actually allowing the player to have their own choice on how to go about this adventure. It's visually amazing and it's a cool thing to note that this game is done in a entire single shot. The gameplay absolutely nails it, a challenging yet very balanced experience with a well panned out progression system for Kratos and Artreus. Along with the weapon and gear upgrades being very recording and satisfying but not compulsory either. The game doesn't prioritize quests in the sense of a division between side quests and main quests as everything is treated with atmost importance and care put into each activity. From hunting down Valkyries to exploring the ruins of Midgard. What's also amazing about the combat is that it allows the player to get creative in their fight styles, make combos and learn and come up of more effective tactics to take down certain enemies. Level design is very well made in this game from a gameplay perspective, visual, and story perspective. How smooth everything seemlessly plays out is something more people would give this game credit for. Now story wise, it's absolutely brilliant, it features a new chapter in Kratos's life where he's a more mature man yet the sins of his past still haunt him till this day and are a reoccurring barrier between the relationship between him and his son Artreus as their on a quest to deliver the ashes of his deceased wife to the highest peak of the realms. The story is a very personal one that tackles very mature themes such as parenthood, closure and forgiveness. As well as the narrative being very strong in terms of how power can corrupt men, leading to catastrophes in the world and how certain vices spread, feeding into the cycle of violence. However there's no such thing as a perfect game, even tho this may be kinda it, the only con I can point out is Niflhiem, not the best location in the game, exists for a very grindy purpose and doesn't offer much, and is designed just for the sake to frustrate you, also I wanted more from Muspelheim, it's just a combat practice arena, the location deserves to be more than that. That's my overall review of this game, I cannot recommend it enough… Expand

    Épico. Tal cual.
    Los rumores son verdad: el juego es perfecto. No hay reseña qué escribir... pero lo haré de igual forma.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Muy buena y muy adictiva. En primer momento no me gustó tanto el sistema de combate, pero crece en ti y se vuelve adictivo, terminas muy enganchado. El sistema de armas/armaduras/talismanes y demás se siente bastante actual y le da un buen tinte el decidir qué potenciar. Además no es solo que cada pieza tenga su nivel: las piezas de las piezas tienen sus niveles para desarrollar, y eso le da una complejidad muy buena al personaje.

    Debo decir que comúnmente no me gustan los NPC que me acompañan en las aventuras, ya que los considero más un lastre que otra cosa, pero Atreus es mi excepción. Debe ser uno de mis NPC favoritos en mucho tiempo y su desarrollo y progresión es uno de los mejores que he experimentado.

    La historia, las cinemáticas, la narrativa, las misiones extra y los enemigos. Todo vale cada segundo.

    En particular las cinemáticas y la narrativa son destacables, es impresionante que un videojuego tenga mejor fotografía que los nominados el Oscar de éste año. No, no exagero.

    GRÁFICOS:
    El estilo gráfico y el nivel visual del juego son superiores. Son inigualables. Santa Monica quiso demostrar que la espera había valido la pena, así como anticiparnos que la espera para el próximo lo valdrá también.

    SONIDO:
    Épico. Todo el soundtrack es... bueno, ya lo dije.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Probablemente el apartado más débil del juego y pese a eso no le hizo mella a la experiencia. Que Kratos no tenga un nivel propiamente dicho como lo conocemos, y que éste dependa no de la XP ganada sino de las combinaciones de equipo que puede usar ha hecho del gameplay algo mucho más balanceado que lo que podemos encontrar en otros juegos de acción.    … Expand

    Really good game, a worthy successor to the older God of War games. Kratos is older now, but still struggles with his past - this attempt at making him more likable and vulnerable was very well executed.

    My only problem would be the lack of epic boss fights, since we only get one main boss, who is a humanoid, and one mid-sized dragon boss.

    This game has defined a generation by all means. I mean the graphics, the story telling, the gameplay the unique environments. It's absolutely a fascinating experience that sets one of the greatest examples of how video games should be. It's the glory of the PS2 in its final days.

    Simply perfection. This game keeps its ties with previous titles and yet does so much more and makes preexisting machnics even deeper. The story and characters are amazing in every way. Everything there is to say has been said about this masterpiece, if have not yet graced yourself with this title do so immediately.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing story, really (it is well told and has amazing cinematography). The characters are great and you believe their interactions (except for a small section where Atreus gets cocky and it feels a bit rushed). The music fits perfectly and the world is colorful and feels alive. The only problems I could find with this game are basically nitpicks: there should be a jump button, the exploration could be a bit better and the RPG elements don't blend perfectly with the rest of the game...but they are clearly overshadowed by everything else in the game (this game has two of the best moments in video game history: the first Baldur fight (best character) and the blades of chaos scene...there are other perfect moments like meeting the world serpent and fighting Magni and Modi). Ah, and the voice acting is perfect.… Expand

Would loved to have seen a village or something of the sorts, otherwise Midgard seems like an empty realm where mortals do not even exist.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The combat system is fluid and varied, with plenty of options and special attacks for spectacle. Although lacking the constant deluge of quality bosses from prior games, the main bosses are still fantastic, especially the first God. In addition to this incredibly solid foundation, plenty of side quests are available of which most are high quality and entertaining. To top this off, you have this overarching theme of being unable to escape a past that torments you and you see Kratos and the boy maturing and progressing throughout the game, making the conclusion all the more satisfying. The sequence where Kratos regains the blades of chaos is possibly one of the best cutscenes in a game, and requires very little dialogue to achieve this, due to fantastic directions. Sigrun's boss fight is one of the best and most challenging boss fights in a gmae, all without being annoying or frustrating as it is very well designed. Overall it is a must buy for any on a ps4.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a modern good looking action game with a very good Story. Kratos and his Son will go on a beatiful Journey together to find Peace for their beloved Mother and Wife, On the way there they will learn a lot about the world, the culture and about themselves.

    Story

    Very well written, it lost me for a few moments, cause I didnt connect to the Son when he got to know that he is a god, but besides that it was brutally good. Very well voice acted and Kratos is just a very good Character.

    Atmosphere/Graphics

    It looks stunning, some rare drops in performance and some weird looking HDR, but all in all a beatiful Game. For me the Nordic Mythology is very interesting and it was a little bit sad that they didnt got deeper into the Lore. The worlds could have been more meaningful and also bigger. Two of them are just for an Activity in the Game (Arena).

    The creatures and gods/godesses are very nice chosen and looking phenomenal. But I wanted more of it, like I said I love the Mythology and I know its more about the Path of both characters, but for me a little bit more around it would be better, especially in the lots of minibosses (they are all the same only in different colours).

    Gameplay

    The Fighting and abilities are so good. It was so much Fun to fight and combo the many possibilites that you have, also Atreus is very helpful. I hate the Leveling system, it wasnt fun at all and the metroidvania aspect didnt catched me.

    So Gameplay was for me the most difference in Qualitiy.

    Summary

    So you have to play this Game its really stunning but it comes with some flaws, which they can easily get rid of in a second part. 8/10    … Expand

    Одна из лучших игр десятилетия, которую можно поставить на один уровень с Ведьмак 3. Размеренный геймплей, несложные головоломки, которые разбавляют бои и преодоление препятствий. Прекрасный сюжет, показывающий Кратоса в совершенно новом свете. Сайд квестов немного, но все они переплетаются тем или иным образом с основным сюжетом. Т.к. в игре есть много перемещений, то на той же лодкеОдна из лучших игр десятилетия, которую можно поставить на один уровень с Ведьмак 3. Размеренный геймплей, несложные головоломки, которые разбавляют бои и преодоление препятствий. Прекрасный сюжет, показывающий Кратоса в совершенно новом свете. Сайд квестов немного, но все они переплетаются тем или иным образом с основным сюжетом. Т.к. в игре есть много перемещений, то на той же лодке спутник постоянно рассказывает каки-то истории, из-за чего перемещения не утомляют.

    Из минусов хотелось бы отметить следующее:
    1. Не самое удачное решение с уровнем монстров. Если проходить игру на высокой или предельной сложности, то враг старше тебя на 2 уровня становится непреодолимым препятствием, как бы ты не старался, т.к. урон по противнику существенно занижен, а практически все его атаки ваншотят. Это приводит к бессмысленному бектрекингу, если вы захотите исследовать игру полностью, а вы захотите это сделать. :)
    2. Скриптовое преодоление препятствий. В игре нет возможности прыгать самостоятельно, чтобы перепрыгнуть препятствие или залезть куда-то, нужно подойти в строго определенную точку и нажать кнопку, после этого Кратос совершит требуемое действие.
    3. Головоломки. Этот минус можно скорее отнести к плюсу, т.к. головоломок всего 3-4 вида, но реализованы они таким образом, что до самого конца игрок не устанет их решать. 4. Боссы. Бои с боссами эпичны, но сам процесс боя очень скриптованный и местами скучный. Внесюжетные боссы представляют из себя несколько вариаций одного босса.

    В итоге. Жду хотя бы какие-то новости о дате выхода второй части, т.к. хочу увидеть продолжение и вновь вернуться на поля девяти миров.    … Expand

The combat is more slow paced than the original GoW series and for those wanting to customise their gameplay then there’s plenty here. Many praise the ‘one-cut’ approach, but what I loved most was the snappy reload times (RDR2 this is how it should be). Some down sides however: while the addition of Atreus generally works, it is often annoying to have to constantly spam square to get him to fire... he should have greater autonomy to fight. Also he is basically invulnerable to attacks, so I wonder why you need to armour him. For me the RPG elements were superfluous... an embellishment that I know expands the interest base, but perhaps isn’t that well suited. Also the wide/open linear style is nice, but the map is almost useless.final criticism was the bosses seemed a little underwhelming compared to say GoW3... and the end was a little rushed and anti-climactic. However despite its few issues this I definitely a MUST OWN game, and was worthy a GOTY title. Edit - after finishing the game, I’ve been having much more fun going for achievements... lots of fun after finishing the main story… Expand

    Cory Barlog and his team achieved what many thought impossible – despite having changed almost everything Santa Monica managed to preserve that elusive spark that makes God of War game feel like a God of War game. They created one of the defining titles of the current generation and a technical marvel whose stunning beauty in motion words cannot describe. And there’s one more thing. Barlog’s touching reaction to his masterpiece’s scores shows that even in the world of huge budgets, micropayments, loot boxes and sales forecasts there still is a place for artists who pour their hearts into their work. We need someone to remind us of that once in a while. [06/2018, p.38]
