    God of War é um dos melhores jogos já feitos! Eles reinventaram a franquia de uma maneira incrível e respeitosa, trazendo a essência de seus antecessores, com uma nova pegada bem mais RPG e narrativa que funciona muito bem. O mundo aberto apesar de não ser gigantesco, é muito divertido de explorar, a jogabilidade é absurdamente viciante de se jogar, a história te prende desde o começo -God of War é um dos melhores jogos já feitos!

O mundo aberto apesar de não ser gigantesco, é muito divertido de explorar, a jogabilidade é absurdamente viciante de se jogar, a história te prende desde o começo - inclusive é um excelente ponto de partida para novas continuações -, os diálogos são muito bem escritos, contando detalhes do universo que a campanha não contou e os gráficos e trilhas sonoras estão impecáveis. Minha única reclamação são as variedades de inimigos e bosses; comparado aos jogos anteriores, é um pouco aquém do esperado. No entanto, continua sendo uma obrigação para qualquer gamer jogar essa obra prima. Que venha o Ragnarok.… Expand

    Capolavoro realizzato bene,degnissimo successore degli altri capitoli che narrano la storia della vita dello spartano più conosciuto al mondo.Pieno di colpi di scena,ironico, bel gameplay, emozionante e si può fruire anche senza aver giocato gli altri 3.

The story writing, the cinematics, and the emotional parts between kratos and atreus, we're amazing. Congratulations to Cory Barlog and the rest of the team at Santa Monica for this masterpiece

    THE PS4 EXCLUSIVE
    To say that this game is good would be a gross understatement. God Of War manages to not only reboot a legendary PlayStation franchise but also set a benchmark for all single player games with its satisfying and brutal combat along with an remarkable narrative supported by a great cast of characters and a beautiful world and lore

    Extremely polished in (almost) every regard, great story, actors and graphics. Runs great on PS5. The cons: The fast travel could be better and menu management takes a lot of time. Also, the violence gets too silly towards the end (but I guess that's to be expected from this franchise).

    2. Story is a great point of the game. It's about developing the relations between Kratos and Atreus. Something I can compare to Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us. Their experiences help them to become closer to each other and it feel really satisfying, not fake or exaggerated.
    3. Characters. I have a problem with them. Except Kratos and Atreus, I did not feel any of them. They had their own reasons for their behaviour and motivation, but there were only few characters through the whole game, so I feel that they could've been better developed and shown.
    Overall I think this game deserves 8.5/10.
    From the end it seems, that there is a possible sequel coming, so I am looking forward to see, that developers improved.    … Expand

    I never played any God of War and only looked at Kratos' past story to be up to date for this game.

    The Story is awesome and the Father-Son-relationship really worked surprisingly well. Most characters were very interesting and all seemed to make enough sense to be enjoyable. As mentioned, I haven't played any of the earlier games, but I thought norse mythology was very well connected to Kratos and vice versa. The humor brought in by the contrast of characters also works very well.

    Also a great soundtrack. The music was often not in the foreground, but when it stood out, it reminded me a lot of the lord of the rings movies, which is pretty damn good.

    The game is obviously gorgeous. Very colorful and shiny. To the point where I personally did not enjoy it as much anymore, because visual clues get lost easily and especially in tough combat situations, sensory overload is a constant problem. But in slow moments I can really appreciate it. Visually, it feels a lot more like a Marvel-movie than it should.

    The combat is fine. I personally think it makes little sense to have a literal, immortal god be killed VERY fast by some undead goons but maybe that's just me. Most enemies are okayish in terms of design and boss battles are largely enjoyable. I definitely think there are some (very) cheap aspects to some enemies/bosses, but never in story/mandatory instances so I don't think it's too big of a deal.

    However, it really feels unresponsive as hell. While animation-cancelling is a thing, they really did not go through with it. Blocking- and Sprinting-inputs are constantly ignored and that's kinda a deal-breaker, especially since they are crucial in terms of how battles are designed.
    There are also red circles that appear around enemies, when an unblockable attack is about to happen. The timing on those is horrible. Sometimes they appear half a second before impact, sometimes 2 seconds before. This really is annoying and enemies tend to "float" towards me mid-attack, which looks horrible.

    Menus are not very intuitive. While it's not an Excel-sheet by any means, I feel like they tried to make it as unappealing as possible. It's not a problem if you want to enjoy the story, but everything apart from that kinda needs gear- and ability-management. Those things are no fun and communication to the player on which effects are useful or not is nonexistent. I mainly stuck to one set of abilities because everything else seemed a huge waste of time.

    The world makes no sense, honestly. While it's really cool to walk Midgard and other places of Norse mythology, the level-design does not follow any kind of "lore"-rules (for lack of a better word). Countless chests with crafting materials everywhere (why are they there?) and crooks and crannies everywhere simply to hide something not worth hiding. While traversing is generally fun (although collecting everything really isn't), you're not allowed to question anything since that'll make it fall apart quickly.
    (link omitted per site rules)

    Overall, I enjoyed the experience greatly, but post-game is just work without any fun and there are weirdly off-putting things, that should be really obvious to game-designers    … Expand

    Simplesmente o melhor jogo do PS4 até o momento. É incrível como conseguiram remodelar a jogabilidade sem estragar a franquia. O melhor God of War da saga.

Kratos is incredible, you really feeling overpower, the combat is wonderful and delicious to play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Back when this game was announced during E3 2016 I neither knew what exactly God of War was nor who even Kratos was, confusing me what was happening. When I first saw the gameplay shown during the presentation I absolutely loved what I was seeing. Whatsoever I got this game pretty late, but it was still worth getting. The graphics are amazing, I love the details, e.g. leaving a track on the snow behind. The gameplay is very good, I never got bored of it and could swinging the Leviathanaxe (and calling it back) and *spoiler warning for the next sentences* the holy Blades of Chaos, boy was that a reveal. The thing I loved the most was the plot. It's got so many twists, like Baldur being the son of Freya (aka the Witch of the Woods) or the fact that Atreus is Loki. The dialogue written for this game is very well made, I never got bored listening to Mimir's storys! Now the difficulty. As a simple casual gamer I played the easiest mode. But even the easiest mode holds the greatest challenge of the game: the Valkyries! Absolutely hard, but doable. The hardest difficulty is like that Sony guy said "for people who'd fight a polar bear in boxers".
    The lore is so good that even the shrines you found kept me interested and some side quests were absolutely epic. Let's come to boss fights: many times you'll fight a troll in different skins, which is kinda bad, HOWEVER if you get to the different bosses they're astounding! Fighting dragons, the sons of thor and Baldur of the back on a dragon?! That's amazing! The only negative thing from the game in my eyes was the backtracking but it isn't that big of a problem unless you're a completionist. Talking of completionists 100% this game is very hard, I gave up at some point. Still a nice challenge.
    *I'd also love to mention that the characters in this game are very well written and never feel off. Voice acting is on point, and I LOVE Christopher Judge as Kratos. There's so many things I'd love to talk about but I gotta keep this review "short". GGs to Cory and Santa Monica Studios for making such a bombastic game.

    To end this review I really REALLY recommend trying this game! :)    … Expand

    A very nice choice to change the games up and it was perfected in Ragnarok. Story very simple but it's very emotional which is good the plot isn't really crazy either it's just good. Performance is on par with the best. But here comes the bad stuff the lack of vareity in enemies. Troll fights all around and there's way less options in combat we can use.

    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]
