    If video games are a relevant narrative media in this century, PlayStation has been its Gutenberg with productions like this. God of War is an incredible adventure that satisfies the narrative level, the playable criteria and the heart of any gamer. Proof that the sequels may be better than the originals

    It's simply breathtaking!
    All the references to the earlier games, the battle system, THE STORY(!!!), the characters, all you learn about nordic mythology, the RPG-System...
    I could go on for days, simply play it, it's by far the best game I've ever played. really. I really loved the first 3 parts, but this one hit's different

    God of war 2018 es uno de los mejores juegos que ps4 te puede ofrecer.
    El regreso de Kratos es épico, cambian muchas cosas como el gameplay o Kratos, pero lo hacen para bien. El juego te ofrece una historia increíblemente buena, donde te enfrentaras a nuevos enemigos ( muy buenos), y conocerás a nuevos personajes que te fascinaran.

    El gameplay es fabuloso, los combos son un deleite visual, los jefes son muy divertidos, los gráficos son espectaculares, y el diseño de los personajes es muy bueno.
    La única queja que tendría de este juego seria la falta de variedad de enemigos, ya que viajas a 6 diferentes reinos y en casil todos son los mismos, nadamas cambian de color o le agregan una pequeña cosa y ya. esto no afecta la verdad, pero también es divertido ver a más enemigos.    … Expand

    Great reinvention of the franchise. Combat is smooth and satisfying. Probably the best acting I've seen in a video game. Things lacking were enemy variety and reskin enemies were very apparent. The games scripted moments were a bit too often for my liking forcing you to walk a section or climbing/jumping areas that had no point due to it all being scripted so there is no failure.

    Ubisoft, EA, CD Project Red, Square Enix, Activision Blizzard and others... This is how you make a game! Visual, audio, gameplay, story, you name it, they did it spectacularly. No mtx, no stupid schemes to make money, just art. This game was worth every penny and I'd gladly pay for it over and over again. One of, if not THE best game I've ever played. Even the port to PC was done very well.

    Good game but not the best in the franchise. Not as many epic battles as previous games and repetitive enemies. Some level design could have been better. Also I am so sick of playing games based on a huge jungle. Norse mythology has much more than that. You can enjoy but don't expect an unforgettable experience.

Well that didn’t happen and I got to live long enough to play this masterpiece of game design! Lemme start by saying, I’ve never finished any of the God of War games before this one but that really didn’t affect my enjoyment whatsoever & I’m glad the developers went the route of not alienating people like me with their big 4th entry! I’m sure the prior knowledge of the trilogy would’ve been great to have but I’d rather experience those firsthand than watch a summarized video on YouTube. I simply LOVE almost everything in this game, the characters, the visuals, the story, the gameplay, everything is just a big fat chef’s kiss!! The only thing I didn’t really like was the sudden change in Atreus’ personality halfway through the game, I know why it’s there for story reasons, but I was really loving him as a character until that point, but in the end I still loved him. As someone who doesn’t have a good relationship with their dad at ALL, so I guess the main relationship dynamic at this game’s heart doesn’t really resonate with me for personal reasons, although I loved every bonding moment we got to see between Kratos and Atreus. I just couldn’t relate to it and that’s perfectly ok because this game isn’t about me, obviously. Everyone already knows this game is a masterpiece, so if you somehow haven’t had it grace your console yet, fix that please. Even if you have little knowledge of the series like me, you’ll walk away extremely satisfied.… Expand

Because if the change hadn't been added, Maybe the fact that it looks like its old style would have been a huge flaw. because the years pass and the game world develops a lot. so it was really right that there was a change. I can safely say that the story diagram and Attack mechanics were made very high-level in terms of the atmosphere.

    Positive

    Game atmosphere is very good
    Story Schema
    Character camera
    Attack Mechanics
    Continuous flow of the game
    A 30-hour game story is over-filled (dialogue and travel)

    Negative

    You know, Baldur is the game's archenemy. Our first battle with Baldur could really be one of the best battles in the history of the game. Now that we have fought such a war, it didn't take me long to ask the question of what awaits us in the future. But he almost never came across. Just like Magni and Modi. The only missing point I see is that monster and boss battles are insufficient.
    As a God Of War fan, I can say with peace of mind that:

    I've never played GoW games before, I even don't like these kind of brutal, blood spilling games. But I saw GoW on sale in PS store... and God! Now I understand why so many people love it.
    God of War is one of those game you don't want to end.

    It's also one of those games that you finish it in 100% just to honour the people who created it.
    Main story, side content, characters, world(s), gameplay - all these aspects are perfect. However the best part of all is the character progression. You can see and feel how they change, how their interactions change, even the way they speak. It's perfectly balanced and fits the story perfectly.
    The amount of side content is just enough for the player to keep him interested. All the side quests and things you find on the way - all of it has its own unique story, expands our knowledge about the world and Norse mythology.
    The world presented in this game is spectacular. Norse culture and mythology becomes really popular and so we can see different ways of presenting it in recent films/series/games. But nothing comes even close to God of War. Not even close. Whenever you reach some new region you just stop and admire the devs' and graphics' amazing work.
    The only one thing I would change is the overload with RPG elements. After few hours of gameplay you collect dozens of enchantments. Each of them has different stat bonuses plus some of them give you additional perks. Some are even specific to fight one type of enemy and I have never bothered to go back to menu and change it whenever I encounter them. I wish it would be more simplified or that the stats we get would just pernamently boost our character - without being forced to choose.    … Expand

    La historia principal es sumamente buena, muy bien narrada.
    La banda sonora es muy buena, muy al estilo nordico.
    Los personajes son de lo mejor, Kratos, un personaje serio con Atreus, un personaje lleno de dudas y algo infantil junto a Mimir, quien les cuenta todas sus dudas, hacen un buen equipo. Los enanos, Freya, Baldur, Magni y Modi. Todos muy buenos personajes.
    El mapa es extenso, por si queres explorar mas alla de la historia principal tenes todo un mundo por descubrir, muy bien logrado el mapa.
    Las voces en español latino suenan bastante bien, en ingles es excelente.
    Los graficos son de lo mejor que hay en PS4 ahora mismo, si te subis a la montaña mas alta de midgard vas a poder ver el lago y hasta a la serpiente, y viceversa.
    Mientras jugas, Mimir va a ir reforzando la convivencia entre los personajes contando historias que Atreus registrara en el libro, etc.
    Las valkirias podrian haber sido un DLC pero fueron incluidas en el juego original, muy bien hecho por parte de Santa Monica.
    Por todas esas razones yo a este juego le doy un 10/10    … Expand

    I played this game about one year ago and this game changed how I value video games. Before this game, I didn't care about anything other than graphics, literally if the game has bad graphics I wouldn't play it. This game showed me what story and gameplay are. If you like RPG games I highly recommend this game.

    This is one of the best game ever. I experienced every system in the game, and there are nothing new in the game. But Balance, between contents and scenario, is amazing more than Last of us. It is perfect for me, and I can

    I remember experiencing this game back in 2020 during the pandemic after hearing the sequel and was hyped SEVERELY. So much so I played both games and loved them and after experiencing Ragnarok, I went back to play this game again and I can definitely say I prefer Ragnarok but that shouldn't take away the fact this is probably one of if not the best PS4 game of it's generation. So theI remember experiencing this game back in 2020 during the pandemic after hearing the sequel and was hyped SEVERELY. So much so I played both games and loved them and after experiencing Ragnarok, I went back to play this game again and I can definitely say I prefer Ragnarok but that shouldn't take away the fact this is probably one of if not the best PS4 game of it's generation. So the story for this game might not be as good as Ragnarok, but it's still amazing primarily of what was established in the previous games since the main character was been through a lot and that's not something him and you don't want your kid to go through all over again because your past will always catch up with you but before I get into the bigger picture, I wanna talk about the other great parts. This game looks amazing on a PS4 Pro not necessarily for the graphics, but for the art style as it helps the graphics stand on it's 2 legs and ensure it looks great evennowadays, the combat might feel strange especially since this is coming off of a franchise with fixed camera angles, absolute chaos, and especially MASSIVE boss fights to help you feel satisfied you did it, in this game, it's pretty much an over-the-shoulder one shot camera so you're up close to the action and I would argue this improves upon the franchise since it helps you feel like Kratos with how the camera never cuts and you're up close meaning you feel like you're there when creating a massacre on the battlefield. Actually creating a massacre is pretty damn easy with how well the combat flows since it can feel incredible to understand the combat and make your enemies look like pathetic obstacles in your way. The level design is great since it's complex enough for there to be decent puzzles that aren't solvable immediately and you need to genuinely think about how you're gonna deal with it. There was also this one time when I was opening a crate and there was a jumpscare and it genuinely got me, so much so that even though it only happened once, it was enough to the point where I took a step back whenever I saw another crate even during the entirety of God of War: Ragnarok. The side quests are great since they are connected to the lore and not just filler to increase the run time. The dialogue, performances, soundtrack, and writing are top tier and ensure you are incredibly immersed throughout the entire game and the boss battles are good just enough to remind everyone they're playing a God of War game. Now while there are some sections of the map that are locked behind a certain wall meaning you'll have to come back later, I would argue this comes to the games benefit since it means you'll come back later with the equipment you need, but then you'll also find something else on that same island you initially missed you need to get closer to full completion. But all of this is just an extension of the bigger picture since there's more to this story than just the characters, graphics, combat, side quests, story, or even the destination itself: it's the entire journey. Throughout this game, the journey you go through feels relateable since it feels wonderfully paced and helps a father and son learn to trust each other no matter what which in turn helps you relate to these characters even further. Now there are some problems like the enemy variety since most of the time you will face the exact same mini boss over and over again and this easily gets repetitive, the end game is good but not great since you need to do a decent amount of grinding but that personally never bothered me, but the main thing that bothered me personally was how it tries to tell a story similar to The Last of Us but doesn't quite succeed with how the stakes don't feel high and instead you only feel improved in those stakes instead of stripped down and desperate. But with all that being said, this game is absolutely incredible and succeeds on all fronts to ensure it's a genuine masterpiece. If you happen to have a PS4, why haven't you ever picked up this game when it first came out? But now that it's on PC and even verified for the Steam Deck, there's no better time to pick up this masterpiece than right now.… Expand

    Never played God of War before. Big lover of Scandinavian mythology, so, when i saw a video-memes about this game i purchased this game in ps store. So, what i got? At first, game seemed to be boring and monotonous. But after an hour it turned me into 12 years old boy who cant break away from the monitor. Story, gameplay, setting. All of that was amazing. Cant wait for sequel.

    One of the best games I've played in my life. Fighting mechanics, graphics, storytelling etc everything is great. It only has 2 issues for me, one of which is the lack of Quicktime events and the lack of boss battles in older games.

    It's an awesome game, great gameplay and combats, deep well rounded characters and beautiful graphics.
    It doesn't get a 10 from me because of the exhausting number of collectables. So many mods that it gets super overwhelming and makes you loose hours and hours in the office to basically do nothing.
    Next one, please simplify the collectables and mods.

    PS4 banger, the gameplay bossfights and nordic ancient worlds and creatures excuted perfectly with such a graphics, Kratos ofcourse is wiser now and more responsible but not less destructive, everything in this game is perfect yet the plot was more of a link than it’s being the thing, Ragnarok so it seems will be the epic sequel, God of war 2018 is a 9.5/10 for me

    This game does everything it tries to do masterfully, the combat is one of the best, most nuanced ones I've ever seen, the story is externally simple, yet internally clever and complex, and he visuals and music are absolutely stunning. Puzzle elements can be obnoxious and bog pacing, as frequent as they are, but don't take much away from the brilliance.

Before this game came out the God of War series was a hack and slash franchise with a mediocre story but always lived up to the excitement with its gameplay and bosses. That all changes with this, the game is a simi open world but there are still plenty of things to do. Kratos now has a son and they work so well together from the moment you meet Kratos and Atreus. The camera is behind Kratos this time and he doesn’t use the Blades of Chaos he uses the Leviathan Axe or Stormbreaker. Using the axe has to be one of the best video game weapons I have ever used, taking off your back and throwing it off a mountain then calling it back to slice a enemy’s head off amazing. Christopher Judge does a phenomenal job he just has that deep voice that really gets under your skin. On top of that we have fantastic music as well to set up the tone of fighting huge dragons to human monster hybrids. The developers went all out and gave us a story that is a first for the series amazing, on top of that it’s all shot in one take. You can go from killing a enemy and all of a sudden it’s a cutscene, unless you die there are no edits to this game and it makes the story have more of an impact on you. I can’t recommend this game enough if you have a PS4 get it because now it’s like 10 bucks.… 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]
