    Very beautiful and interesting game. An amazingly colorful world, colorful characters, each location fascinates in its own way. Interesting dialogues. The character progression system is pretty good too. I really look forward to various additions to the game. 10 of 10

    God of war is such a great game with a beautiful open world. The game has a great story with a large world to explore while also traveling through realms.

RPG elements were poorly introduced, much of the game was spent traversing terrain that became stale once the beauty of the world wore off, combat was bland and very janky given the camera issues especially with multiple enemies. Graphics were beautiful and overall well done. 8/10 for me personally, and can't help feel this game is a bit overrated and not a direction I want to see the industry go in general.… Expand

    Everything from the combat to the story is the best I’ve ever seen in a single player game. The game constantly won me over with its cinematic boss fights and brutal combat. The story is just the right amount of awesome and emotional, creating an amazing campaign. Easy 10/10, can’t wait for Ragnarök.

    Delivers upon all its expectations and hype. Really interesting plot, lore and father-son dynamics, with fluid gameplay and great OSTs, which make up a great game overall. The open-world feels a bit empty and the enemies lack variety. Despite these and some other small issues, giving this game a try is a must.

    The combat is phenomenal! I'm playing on PS4 and it feels soo satisfying the dualshock's vibrations with every hit and slash makes the experience ever so imersive! The world is not too big, everything is there for a reason. The story is also very good and i found myself learning anput Norse mythology more than i actually expected to at first. Really amazing game!

    Fantastic game. Great story, great storytelling and great gameplay. Combat is less hack and slash, more methodical, almost souls like. Good pacing, It is a linear games, but with open world elements, of which are great for fun factor and gaming mechanics but hurt the story. This game sets standards. Enjoy playing.

    ótimas armas e sistema de abilidades padrão mas que não interfere na esperiencia.

    pouca variedades de inimigos, na maioria das vezes só mudando a cor deles e isso acaba deixando o jogo mais fraco.

    Great ''new'' story with our former God of War. Kratos who this time shows us his delicate side as he traverses Midgard with his son Atresus in order to scatter the ashes of Atreus' mother during the journey, the relationship between the two changes drastically.
    It's worth playing the game just for the story itself, but the gameplay is also terribly satisfying.

    From the first scene opening up to Kratos and Artreus, or “Boy” as Kratos calls him 99% of the time. When this game came out everyone was making Dad of War jokes. Which is absolutely true. The character development of the two main characters is incredible. The story opens up with Kratos and Boy looking for a specific tree so that they can cremate Kratos’ wife who had just passed away. The entire mission of the game is to spread her ashes at the highest peak in the realm. It is a very simple premise that is super emotionally rewarding all the way through. When something gets in their way, it is genuinely upsetting.

    Combat feels amazing the entire way through. The pace that you progress through the skill tree matches your progression throughout the game for the most part. So combat constantly feels fresh the whole time. When Artreus starts to get upgraded and can let out a volley of shock arrows that can stun a group, so that Kratos can come in with the Blades of Chaos and wreck everyone feels awesome! Taking down bosses that are 10 times your size is an accomplishment. Especially on the higher difficulties.

    I do not think that the game drags at all either. There are a lot of obstacles that get in the way of Kratos and Boy. They all make sense narratively though. Every time there was a setback. It wasn’t discouraging. It felt like there was just another hurdle that I had to overcome to complete the goal of getting to the highest peak.

    I just really enjoyed every second of this game. The opening cinematic got me emotionally invested in the journey. The exploration and cinematic nature of the camera and gameplay made me want to explore every inch of the world and find everything I could. The opening boss fight of the main antagonist shows off how great the combat can feel. From beginning to end. This game is absolutely incredible!! PLEASE play this game!

This is a perfect sequel to GoW3 and almost a perfect videogame, the storyline, the evolution of Kratos and all the other characters is simply beautiful.

    [Note: This is the only/first God of War game I have played]

    Gameplay: Everything controlled very well. The addition of the Blades of Chaos halfway through really added to spice up the gameplay. I did however prefer the axe and wouldn’t choose the blades when I had a choice (opposed to needed the blades since others were immune to the the frost axe) I did learn to like using them later into the game. The use needing to switch from the axe to the blades in the final baulder fight was really fun and a great idea. The “boss fights” were amazing. As for using Atreus’s arrows, once I obtained the shock arrows I only used those and not the light arrows in combat though, using them worked very well. Once I found runic attacks I liked using I never really changed them out for different ones. And they were normally the fist ones I got. I didn’t do the side quests during the main story although I may go back later (I just finished it) since I had a great time playing the game. [Updated note: Ive been playing the side quests and they’re really fun] The puzzles were great. There was never a dull moment. Mimir’s storys in the boat were really nice to listen to. I started waiting right by the dock for mimir to finish his storys.

    Story: Kratos and Atreus’s relationship coming closer was beautiful. Freya acting like a mother to Atreus was great to see. The end was beautifully done and really fulfilling. I really enjoyed it, so much. I haven’t wrote much on it but that’s not because I don’t love it so much. There was so much emotion in the story that I just ate up.    … Expand

    I have not played the original GOW games. But I think that this is a great attempt to keep an old franchise alive and give it a modern game.

    The game itself is outstanding. I can see the care and the elaborate details that make the game lovable and beautiful. It is not my favorite but I really enjoyed and it captivated me in it's world.

    no fue hasta esta entrega que llegué a la saga, juegazo la verdad, si que es verdad que los bosses son muy repetitivos pero es que tenían planeado continuar con su sequela y darlo con todo en esa entrega. Este juego es como la base de Ragnarok, la beta se podría decir.

    God of War, 2018’s installment in the acclaimed franchise, delivers a thrilling and immersive experience that combines exceptional combat mechanics, a captivating storyline, and breathtaking visuals. As a player, you'll embark on an epic journey with Kratos and his son Atreus, unraveling a tale that is both emotionally charged and action-packed.

    Let's start with the gameplay mechanics    God of War, 2018’s installment in the acclaimed franchise, delivers a thrilling and immersive experience that combines exceptional combat mechanics, a captivating storyline, and breathtaking visuals. As a player, you'll embark on an epic journey with Kratos and his son Atreus, unraveling a tale that is both emotionally charged and action-packed.

    Let's start with the gameplay mechanics and combat system. It's no exaggeration to say that they are outstanding. The developers have crafted a seamless and satisfying combat system that strikes a perfect balance between depth and accessibility. Each encounter is a symphony of brutal and visceral combat, blending fluid melee attacks, powerful magic, and tactical maneuvers. The combat feels weighty, impactful, and rewards skillful execution. It's clear that the combat system is one of the game's strongest aspects, providing a thrilling experience from start to finish.

    Moving on to the storyline and narrative, God of War does not disappoint. The game takes a bold and refreshing approach by delving into the complexities of Kratos' character, presenting a more mature and introspective portrayal. The relationship between Kratos and Atreus serves as the emotional core of the story, beautifully portrayed through their interactions and character development. The narrative is intricately woven, filled with unexpected twists, and explores themes of parenthood, grief, and redemption. It's a testament to the game's writing and voice acting that you'll find yourself genuinely invested in the characters and their journey.

    Visually, God of War is a feast for the eyes. The game showcases stunning graphics and a meticulously crafted world inspired by Norse mythology. From the grandeur of the mythical realms to the smallest details in character designs, the visual design elevates the overall experience. The attention to detail is remarkable, creating a sense of immersion that draws you further into the game's rich and atmospheric world.

    Character development and interactions in God of War are top-notch. Kratos' evolution from a vengeful god to a more compassionate father figure is a remarkable journey to witness. The growth of Atreus as he grapples with his own identity and the dynamics between the two protagonists are skillfully portrayed. Supporting characters also play significant roles, contributing to the depth and complexity of the narrative.

    Sound design and music in God of War are nothing short of exceptional. The ambient sounds and battle effects enhance the immersive experience, while the musical score complements the epic moments and emotional beats. The game's sound design succeeds in immersing you in its world and heightening the impact of key moments.

    While the puzzles and exploration elements in God of War are solid, they may not stand out as much compared to other aspects of the game. They offer enjoyable challenges and encourage exploration of the beautifully crafted world. However, they don't always reach the same level of innovation and complexity as the combat and narrative.

    In terms of overall enjoyment and replay value, God of War is a triumph. The combination of engaging gameplay, a compelling storyline, and exceptional character development makes it a truly unforgettable experience. The game invites you to delve into its rich lore, uncover hidden secrets, and engage in rewarding combat encounters. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or new to it, God of War offers a satisfying and immersive adventure that will keep you coming back for more.

    In conclusion, God of War deserves every bit of praise it has received. With its stellar combat mechanics, compelling storyline, impressive visuals, and memorable characters, it stands as a shining example of what a modern action-adventure game can achieve. It's an absolute must-play for any gamer looking for an immersive and emotionally resonant experience.    … 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]
