    Cory Barlog eres el puto amo, este "reinicio" de la saga es simplemente una maravilla. Este Kratos mas maduro es genial y claro, no nos olvidemos de Atreus, un personaje que acompaña de forma perfecta a nuestro heroe espartano.

    Esperamos con ansias la continuacion de esta nueva y epica aventura nordica.

    Gracias por esta obra maestra!

    I think in writing a review it's best to keep in mind what the creators of a project were going for. With God of War they were going for a hack and slash title with spectacular cinematographic sequences. They knocked it out of the park.

With God of War they were going for a hack and slash title with spectacular cinematographic sequences. They knocked it out of the park. I don't think the game was particularly innovative, and I didn't get into the combat system as deeply as some, but what I experienced was close-to perfection, and a standard-setting hack and slash title that should be praised for its achievements.

    Not a perfect game though. Sometimes interacting with enemies and the environment don't work out and end up looking really messed up. Also some more enemy diversity would have been great. But on the plus side the voice acting is great and Kratos actually feels like a character instead of some meathead avatar to beat **** up in a game.    … Expand

    In my opinion it is the best Play Station 4 game. Worthy of Goty. It has a beautiful, very emotional story, the characters are memorable, and the relationship of Atreus and Kratos is the best. On the other hand, the soundtrack is epic, at the level of "god of war". The combat system is fluid, frantic and with very varied combos. Very fun and exciting.

    Dudé sobre el cambio en el combate, pero es la parte fuerte del título, con muchas de las mejores mecánicas que me he topado en un juego de acción cortesía de la Leviathan Axe. El segundo pilar del título es la relación de Kratos con su hijo Boy, la cual se va formando poco a poco durante la gran aventura, donde Kratos trata como puede de que su hijo no siga los pasos de ira y violencia que él tan bien conoce.

    El sistema pseudo-RPG de armaduras y mejoras está metido con calzador por moda, la trama principal no es tan buena y faltó más variedad de armas. Y ya, es todo lo negativo que puedo decir de God of War, el retorno triunfal de una serie que no me interesaba desde que vi correr los créditos de la tercera entrega.

    God of War es una obra redonda que entrega lo mejor que puede ofrecer el juego tiple A contemporáneo, con una jugabilidad excelente, un desarrollo de personajes entrañable, montones de contenido y unos visuales dignos de la épica característica de la serie.

    First and foremost God of War is a very impressive game to look at and to marvel its technical prowess. But, it's not a game that I ever got completely absorbed by (aside for some brief sequences scattered throughout).

To start off, althoughFirst and foremost God of War is a very impressive game to look at and to marvel its technical prowess. But, it's not a game that I ever got completely absorbed by (aside for some brief sequences scattered throughout). The general high praise for it is certainly valid and I am in agreement on the qualities which have given the game its numerous awards and popularity. To start off, although this review is 2 years late, the graphics are still much better than those of most games today, if not all but a few. The visuals are beautiful, the way the game moves and feels has pushed the boundaries for games— at the time it came out I probably couldn't name a game that looked and felt more technically polished on a surface level. At first I wasn't much of a fan of the combat as it felt kind of sluggish and monotonous with the introductory enemy encounters, but with more playtime I started to really enjoy and appreciate the level of detail put into fighting as Kratos. What at first seemed a combat design too heavy and slow soon became satisfyingly precise and nuanced-- you can feel the weight and power of Kratos’ axe, which starts feeling great and controlled with repetition, getting practice with all of the movement and timing of Kratos' abilities and whatnot. So the game really gains momentum because of this expanding comfortability with and fun of fighting. The combat is not perfect by any means, however. It can become a little too repetitive with the common enemies that Kratos' faces, but never to the point of annoyance due to how fun it can be to fight any one large group of mythical creatures.
    What was somewhat lacking in the game for me was actually the pace of the whole thing. The story with its Norse mythological ties was interesting and well-implemented into the world for the most part. I enjoyed hearing your talking head of a companion Mímir relate his ties to the Norse gods and mythology. Though the main thread of the game story was a bit weak, or just felt slightly underwhelming in terms of how it carried the game forward. There are many brief intervals of dullness in the game. I'd be uncertain whether to explore some of the outer areas of the world or just continue with the main story. The game's somewhat passive suggestions to explore the realms and go on side quests conflicted with the main story. So this seemed to take away from the immersion into Kratos and Atreus’ personal quest at hand. Why should we go to that place? Just to play a mini game or trial that has no consequence to the story. Albeit these side quests and challenges are generally fun and in that sense they are positive aspects of the game--the Valkyrie fights were one of the highlights of the game. But usually, the optional quests seemed like extra material to stuff in to the game to ensure more playability. More linearity would be good in this case, at least in terms of the player's objective. If more of the exploration were connected with Kratos' and Atreus' journey instead of being optional and seemingly inconsequential, then the game would have been more powerful.
    To conclude this rambling, I definitely want to make clear that God of War is a damn good game. Great in visuals, combat, sound, attention to detail and atmosphere. It does fantastically in bringing Norse mythology to life, often informative and relevant to anyone interested in the ancient lore. I have only played parts of the earlier God War installments, but it doesn't surprise me that this is labeled as the best yet. It is no joke of a game experience. However, it needed more narrative immersion, less of the in-between an open world and cinematic action-adventure, and a stronger conclusion for it to be considered one of the greats of the generation. Though it's still a game that every gamer should definitely try for how fun and seamless the gameplay is and to note the great care and detail put into the surrounding world and lore, even if all the parts don’t come together most effectively.    … Expand

    Good mixture between linear gameplay and some more sandbox elements. Combat system is fun and follows a logical progression as you develop through the game, introducing new moves and options rather than being overwhelming from the start. I also found the weapon and armour systems straightforward enough which is a big positive for me.

    It does a good job of being very easy to pick up and play from your first session rather than having a huge learning curve, which I personally find to be a big problem with a lot of games, where you need to play for 10+ hours before you really start enjoying them. This wasn't a problem at all with God of War.

    Some of the collectables got a bit boring at the end but obviously you could give these a miss.

    Sin duda es el mejor juego que he podido probar para PS4 , la saga obtiene un respiro y un cambio de perspectiva que ya merecia, sin titubear es un juego que debes de tener si tienes una PS4 en tus manos.

    AN HARDCORE GAMER'S REVIEW!

    God of War PS4 or may I say God of War reboot is the most intricate, compelling and engaging game I have ever played in my life time as a gamer. I have owned the playstation for almost 2 decades now and it's safe to say that sony really did hit the jackpot with this franchise with the way things are going, but not because of its sales nooo.. I'm talking about its core mechanics, its lore, the whole cast that was hired to take part in this reboot, they couldnt have been more perfect for their roles.

    The game does a great job at keeping you engaged throughout the whole playthrough making every moment count, meaningful.

    I played God of War PS4 for 6-9 hours every day since release. I know you're probably wondering right now as to why? When the game only offers around 5 - 8 hours gameplay to complete the full story..

    Well at first in its early days of being released, it turned out that a lot of folks were disappointed with the combat aspect of the game as it changed drastically being a reboot.. the devs had chosen the over the shoulder camera angle for the players view and the combat system had completely been changed.

    My mission being a DIE HARD God of War fan was to try and push this new game mechanics to its full potential! Whilst everyone rushed to complete the games story, I was patient and stayed at specific locations were I could battle enemies over and over again until I finally gotten hold of the games combat mechanics. From what the people were saying back then.. that Kratos felt SLOW, my Kratos in the other hand was rapid and brutal. This is because I spent some time learning a few techniques to make the gameplay more compelling and cinematic for the viewer, also did I forget to mention I have a YouTube Channel (named GBG) you can see this for yourself and tell me what you think.

    People started to notice this and quickly began to appreciate the game a lot more, so they began to watch my tutorial videos and everyone and I    … Expand

    God of War. A masterpiece.
    The story is absolutely amazing, almost phenomenal. What I loved most was watching Kratos' ever-changing contrast between the Father and the Greek God of War. At first I was somewhat pessimistic about the fusion of Greek and Norse mythology, but my fears were unnecessary.
    The characters are excellently written, all credit to the writers. That includes the    God of War. A masterpiece.

    The gameplay itself is simply excellent and keeps the player incredibly entertained. It's almost addictive. Again, I have to give a shout out to the combat with Atreus.

    As far as the graphics go, the game is charming and the setting in which the game takes place easily draws you into the story. The game runs seamlessly on the PS5 console. I didn't experience a single bug or crash during my playthrough of the game.

Parametros doGanhou o prêmio de melhor jogo do ano (2018) e não foi por acaso. Um dos melhores de PS4 e talvez de todos os tempos. Consegue ao mesmo tempo dar continuidade a lenda de Kratos (agradando os veteranos que acompanham a saga desde GOW I no PS2) e também é um jogo fechado em si mesmo fazendo que um jogador não familizariado com a saga consiga acompanhá-lo com tranquilidade. Parametros do jogo:
    - Lore/história: Muito boa. Após esgotar as possibilidades na mitologia grega, Kratos migra ao norte e começa a se relacionar com a mitologia nórdica. Sendo esta muito popular e presente no dia a dia ocidental, o que facilita a empatia e sentimento de familiaridade por parte do jogador. Trama com reviravoltas, emoções fortes, questionamentos filosóficos, problemas que assolam a humanidade tanto num mundo fantasy de mitologia como hoje na vida real. Um jogador atento pode tirar muitos assuntos para se debater contemporamente extraindo do jogo.
    - Personagens: Muito bom. Todos os personagens principais são bem trabalhados e se não foram serão na continuação do mesmo. Vemos mudanças de comportamento face a novos fatos, amadurecimento e reflexão dos personagens. Personagens profundos que nos atingem mesmo num mundo fantasy. Destaque para Kratos que começou a envelhecer e parece compreender que muitas ações explosivas que teve no passado geraram consequencias terríveis para si mesmo para as pessoas ao seu redor e tenta não seguir os mesmos passos.
    - Jogabilidade: muito boa. Passou de um "hack and slash" puro para uma versão mista de RPG com hack and slash. Tal mistura foi bem executada e consegue trazer a complexidade de escolhas de UP de um RPG com a variabilidade de um hack and slash. Upgrade em relação ao GOW anteriores.
    - Gráficos: muito bons. Utiliza do potencial do PS4 e produz gráficos magníficos tanto nos personagens como no ambiente. Um grau de detalhes digno de vida real.

    They applied various games to the game and after careful consideration, a beautiful game came out.
    But there were also disadvantages.
    Overall, they were too dependent on directing, and there were too few types of enemies.
    These two shortcomings are the problem of having few memorable moments after the game is over.
    And even though it is a game between a linear story game and an open world, it is regrettable that free adventure is limited because the place where you can go is blocked by level.
    But all these shortcomings were so impressive and funny that they looked small.

The world is so vibrant and gargantuan, and the setting so creative and unique, that it transports you to another universe where you can forget about the troubles of the real world. Even though the story does a great job of teaching a human like yourself to empathize with an immortal god, it doesn't do quite the same heart wrenching that a story like the TLOU can do with real human characters. That doesn't mean that there isn't great character development and some truly heart breaking scenes, this story does the best it possibly can to allow the player relate to characters that are gods. I felt a little bit like the story was driven more by the setting than by character development or lore. It felt a little like a series of fetch quests with the main purpose of showing you a cool new arena. Which by the way, the environments in the game are truly the most creative, jaw dropping scenes in any game I have ever played. But I would have appreciated a more thought out, and outlined story line, where each mission had a more critical lesson for the character development. That being said, the character development here is still masterful, maybe not TLOU status, still better than most games even touch. And the game play is definitely epic and challenging. I normally don't like hack and slash type games, but this game is a perfect blend of technique and mechanics. You are given new skills in a digestible manor, and when you learn to use them in the correct sequence, it doesn't feel like button mashing at all, but a coordinated dance. I really appreciate a game that does not have perma-death, or make recollect all of your fallen items, but still can feel challenging, and make death feel meaning full. Ever challenging new opponent you face makes you want to train more, become for efficient, learn better combos, and master the axe like a true God of War.… 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]
