    Decent open world game, quite lengthy, lots of grinding and puzzles, some puzzles feel like whipped up in a hurry. Story telling sometimes feels like an too long podcast on autoplay. It was okay when they did it here in 2018, in 2022 doing it for the second time it felt repetitive.

    A ST. Monica fez um trabalho excelente na reformulação do que conhecíamos como God of War, trazendo uma forma completamente diferente e mais estratégica de jogar.

    O único motivo da nota não ser 10, é a pouca variedade de inimigos presentes no jogo.

    Zwar habe ich die Teile davor nie gespielt und habe von God of War nie was gehört, war ich wirklich begeistert von diesem Spiel, als ich es dann doch durchgespielt habe. So eine Story wie hier habe ich noch nie gesehen und das Gameplay hat sich sehr smooth angefühlt. Einzig die doch etwas kleine Boss-Variationen und das spammen von Truhen und Schätzen haben mich etwas gestört

    Was disappointed in GOW Ascension but with this new reboot it astonished me how this franchise revived the spirit of gaming in a new way with a new adventure, bosses and gameplay. Kratos looks older now with his son Atreus at his side and this game deserves all the credit is due with the additional challenges of battling all the valkeries you face as Kratos.

    A great reboot of a great Series. The characters are so cool and Interesting, the combat is great since you can use both, the leviatan axe and the chaos blades. The Story is so simple but just so great!
    but the bosses are mostly trolles are kinda boring, also the standart enemys are kinda repeating

    Tytuł ogrywałem na PS5 i mogę powiedzieć, że jest absolutnie fantastyczny. To, na co zwróciłem uwagę, to świetnie napisany scenariusz, przez co do "God of War" za każdym kiedy włączałem konsolę, nie podchodziłem jak do typowej gry, tylko bardziej serialu. Graficznie, absolutny majstersztyk. Tak samo pod względem grywalności (nie chciało się odchodzić od konsoli).

    Amazing new type of game! Stunning graphics! Movie worthy story! Fluid and smooth gameplay! Just really enjoable and very immersive game. Also note worthy are interactions between characters which are very realistic and not atll cringe like in most games. The only thing that bothered me while playing this game was small variety of enemies and repetitive bosses but thats about it. 9/10 for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра и вправду хороша собою. Затягивает как геймплейно, так и сюжетно. Очннь приятно качать главных героев, позже плжиная плоды труда. В частности, игра от лица бывшего бога войны, желающего лишь спокойной жизни, но вынужденного идти на крайности - увлекает. Особенный респект за фоновую музыку. Саундтрек во время битв с валькикириями шедеврален, а мужской хор в скандинавском стиле во время вадных сцен трогает до муражек. Единственный минус(который таковым можно назвать с натяжкой) - не были показаны столь желанные персоны, тот же Один или Тор. Ясное дело что их оставили для второй части, но впол игры про них распинались, а по итогу ничего по ним не показалаи. Всем советую поиграть. Expand

    Looks and plays great. Ludicrously challenging on the highest difficulty. Great character-building.

    But where it improved on predecessors, it also took away. The plot and characters are very toned down compared to the original games. Puzzles are completely missing. And what should’ve been combos were turned into runics.

Ends up feeling repetitive, especially with all the minor enemy encounters around. Expand

    I had a lot of fun playing this, but from time to time, I kinda miss old Kratos from the original GOW, but that's just me.

    Buen juego y muy buena novedad para god of war, dejando de lado lo lineal y creando un mundo semi.abierto.

    One of my favorite games oat. It has stunning graphics and a really well written story, the only thing thats holds it from being a ten is its lack of diversity in enemies. I was bored at some point from just killing a troll boss and draugr over and over again, but I think the story, fun combat, plot, characters and their development makes up for it.

    The combat system was excellent, it was very fluid! I also enjoyed the soundtrack. But I think that the final battle was too easy.
    If you know how to use the weapons, the game becomes extremely basic and mechanic.

    Great father and son story. Watching this relationship evolve is amazing. All the time in the game we can witness conversations conducted by the characters that are incredibly interesting. The fight is satisfying and juicy. The world is relatively small but hides a lot of interesting things. The gameplay itself is very enjoyable and the character development is well done.

    The game brought all the nostalgia of the franchise, but improved the new mechanics well, with very good combat, great story and a good development of Kratos as a father.

    História muito boa, gameplay divertida, gráfico muito bom, trilha sonora top. O único "defeito" é que o jogo é muito curto.

    Esse sim é um port de respeito. Tão bem otimizado que ta rodando liso no meu PCzinho veterano de guerra. O game, embora tão sangrento quanto os outros GOW, é um divisor de águas na franquia, tanto pelo temperamento de Kratos - agora (tentando) sendo pai - quanto pela ausência do uso de nudez exagerada, que fazia com que muitas vezes você não podia jogar na frente dos seus pais.

A possibilidade de ir para diversos lugares, side quests não repetitivas e diálogos maravilhosos do Brok e, claro, a fama da franquia com certeza devem ter cooperado para ser um dos mais vendidos na primeira semana de vendas.

    Valeu, Sony, continue assim.

    Chorem sonystas que se sentiram traídos.

    Great game. The story is very good in general, gets a little off at some point in the game (no spoilers), but it recovers before the end. Great world to explorer, very intelligent level design, beautiful graphics. Good job Santa Monica Studios.

    The return of the furious Spartan warrior was made well. God of War is already a great contender for game of the year and you shouldn't miss it. [Issue#285]

    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]

    Where most games excel in one single area, God of War manages to deliver on every front, providing players with one of the best experiences we’ve seen so far this generation.
