    Anyone who gave this game less than a 7 did not play it or does not know how to write an objective review. This is a close to a perfect game as any studio has gotten. It is a redemption of the series and a great new staring point for the series.

    I literally bought a new TV because of this game. There is so much good and so little bad to say about this. God of War is a visual masterpiece of this generation. The scenery is gorgeous, the details are absolutely impressive and the PS4 (standard 1TB model) handles it with little to no frame-drops.
    To me, the story couldn't have been better. I don't even know who made this game, but    I literally bought a new TV because of this game.

    To me, the story couldn't have been better. I don't even know who made this game, but good **** job to them for writing a story that was long, but never felt tedious nor tiring. The characters work so well with each other and their environment, and the game knows when to be serious and when to let off some comic relief, which I don't think felt forced.
    To make this review short, I am going to list the few things, that I found to be more negative than positive, which are some combat mechanics. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the combat (I played the game on the second highest difficulty, which I found rather challenging, but fun), but the way the lock-on system works is somewhat a mess. Luckily, it's up to each individual player to decide how often they want to use the lock-on, which I only did when in 1v1 combat, because then it worked fine. Last negative thing, is that double-tapping the X button too fast will give the same result as a singular tap.
    Amazing game, I would recommend it to all PS4 players.    … Expand

    As a gamer who's played passionately since the Atari 2600—up-to-and-including PC titles—God of War is THE best graphically advanced video game I've played yet.

    Every step forward feels earned in this game. Feels like a worthwhile investment. At first I was worried I'd feel tethered with the tag-along Timmy. But, after finishing the title I wouldn't have wanted to play it any other way.

    Also, the hybrid linear/open-world game design was refreshing and rewarding.

    Beautifully and masterfully done. Bravo, Corey Barlog, and thank you.    … Expand

I’m reading reviews and seeing ppl using this game to slam Xbox while also seeing Xbox fanboys using this game to slam ps for how there exclusives turn out, that’s not what this system was made for and your in a way ruining what this is all about. I’m not interested in the fact you gave GOW a 0 cause you have an Xbox and I’m equally not interested in your 10 simply cause it was made by Sony. Come on here and be honest after playing the game and give it a game review not a system review. This game is a great deal of fun and looks great I like the new changes. I am a huge tomb raider fan and this is nothing like that game so that’s a lie. This is more of a technical hack and slash while Tomb is not. The changes to the controls make this game less of a button masher and more of a thinker. You have to be more careful with how and who you attack while using your son to distract and kill. I will say so far the story feels a little diffrent from the past games but the situation is different so that makes sense. Also just because it’s a father and a son fighting together to reach a place does not make it a last of us clone. As a matter of fact that’s all these two games have in common and that’s not even the same. To sum up a lot of you ppl simply need to grow up I’m sick of seeing gamers giving games lower or higher scores trying to level out the overall score and system hating. You have no power you have no control and let’s be honest If you think giving a game you love a 5 to level the overall score is some noble self sacrifice your wrong it’s just stupid.… Expand

    I think it's safe to say that there hasn't been a game that's lived up to its hype like this since 2015 when Bloodborne was released. The game is nothing short of phenomenal.

The game is nothing short of phenomenal.

    I was skeptical about a reboot, not because of the gameplay and narrative changes, but because the series essentially concluded in God of War 3. The series was done in my mind, and I'd gotten everything I wanted out of it. But I went ahead and pre-ordered this one anyway, and it definitely got me interested in another round of mythological adventure by presenting so many new aspects to the series, from the completely reworked gameplay, to the focus on the narrative and to Kratos himself as a character.

    This isn't your dad's God of War, most certainly not. But it's still definitely God of War, and Kratos's journey as a character is finally becoming more than just the two-dimensional irredeemable tantrum-throwing crybaby that we all still unironically love. Kratos is now much more than that, and with the context of the previous games on your side, you'll end up getting a really strong attachment to what his character has become and to the narrative as it plays out, and you'll definitely catch certain themes repeating themselves through a new perspective that really drives home a powerful message.

    Graphics-wise, it's probably the best looking PS4 game alongside the Shadow of the Colossus rework, and the game gives you plenty to do in it's semi-open world, packed with locations to explore and sidequests to complete that don't feel like side-stories so much as fitting neatly into the main story should you choose to go off the main path and do some exploring, all of which never prove pointless as there is always a sweet reward waiting for you at the end of everything you do, be it a sidequest or just generally exploring.

    The combat is much slower and more paced than previous entries, and it requires a mix between attack and defense that you need to balance well in order to succeed. It feels almost like Dark Souls in a sense, with how strategy will come into play. It also feels almost like Dark Souls in that the game can be go f*** yourself hard. Once you get the hang of it, though, you'll find a deeply rewarding combat system that always feels challenging, sometimes overwhelming, but rewards those who understand it and can keep a cool head throughout encounters. So basically what I'm saying is that God of War is basically the Dark Souls of Norse mythology, though faster paced.

    Atreus, Kratos's new kid son, is more of a sidekick than anything else. You're free to treat him as another addition to your arsenal in combat, as he will act on his own and assist you without you having to do anything, and you can also give him specific commands when you want him to do something specific, like interrupt an enemy's attack with some arrows and such. As the game progresses, he becomes more and more useful to you, and never once feels like a liability. Outside of combat he is, of course, the second half of the narrative of the game, the dynamic between Kratos and Atreus always being at the center of everything you do in the game, never once leaving the perspective of the two as the story unfolds and the stakes are raised.

    There's really only one moment in the game that took me out of the experience and made me feel like I was playing a video game, and it's a pretty bad bit of gameplay that I hope they patch to make it so it plays itself, because it would be better for both the gameplay and the narrative if it were the case, and when it happened I deducted 2 points from my score of it, bringing it down to a 7 out of 10 instead of the 9 it was cruising at beforehand. But after thinking about it for a bit, I'm more than willing to forgive one single bit of iffy gameplay design in the context of all the rest of the absolutely brilliant things the game has going for it, and the game brings everything together wonderfully in the end to add that last point to the score.

    God of War isn't a perfect game, but it's definitely one of the best you can get your hands on, on the PS4, and in my eyes, it's absolutely everything it needs to be. Almost nothing feels out of place here, and everything feels like it's there for a reason. The game feels entirely complete, both as a game and a story, which isn't something you see often these days.

    And all while being single-player only with no monetization bulls***, no less. Single-player, story-driven games are far from dead, and this game proves it, on top of being proven by all of Sony's other first-party games.

    This game deserves all the praise it gets.    … Expand

    God of War is a pretty solid game. The combat is pretty tasty, it takes you some time to get used to but it´s pretty nice, the story didn´t forget the other games and the things he did before, it may look like but it´s not a "Last of Us" with Atreus. In the first hours of gameplay, it may look like a linear game but it´s not , it´s just on those first hours.

Most people giving it 0's either don't own a ps4 or are judging it before playing it because they liked the previous games in the series. If you for some reason don't like stories or are looking to be milked by companies mass producing multiplayer games than this is not for you, but to anyone else this is a must own.… Expand

    This is truly an awesome game to play. It combines three of my favorite things I want in a video game. Rich lore, a vast open world and plenty of stuff to kill. I gotta say. Santa Monica Studio created a masterpiece.

    Believe the hype, not the trolls!! This is one amazing and at times challenging games with great graphics, gameplay and story. I didn't play previous GOW games and yes you may draw similarities to other games, but this game feels fresh nevertheless and find ways of adding new qualities. That's a top AAA title.

Enredo brilhante, lutas desafiantes e mais dinâmica, combate totalmente moderno e a exploração ficou impecável sem contar os cenários lindíssimos e gráficos maravilhosos, tirando o melhor do PS4.

    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]
