    I have been playing games since 1988, and never in my life have I played anything like this. I used to think there isn't a such thing as a "perfect" game, except maybe A Link to the Past, but this game is perfect.

    Haven't beaten the main campaign just yet, but it has already eclipsed my favorite game of all time, Final Fantasy VII, which held the top spot for 20 years. It is, simply put, the greatest video game I have ever played in my entire life.

    GOW is among the Best games for PS4. The storytelling is thrilling and the Combat system is engaging and challenging. This is Not a smash button hack’n slash, instead a fast paced "strategic" combat game. (Based on “Give me a challenge” difficult level)

    Uma coisa muito importante é que o jogo não é "filminho",embora no começo tenha muitas cutscenes,depois o jogo te oferece uma tonelada de gameplay! O mapa é semi mundo aberto,cheio de lugares para se explorar,com miitos inimigos,itens,tesouros e side quests,onde você consegue runas,armaduras e XP,além de conhecer mais sobre o mundo,mitologia e personagens.
    A história é muito bem contada,bem amarrada e interessante!
    Tem um gráfico muito bom,tiveram cuidado com os detalhes.
    Você nem percebe onde tem loading.

There are no micro transactions, no anticipated dlcs, is a full story for the amount of money you pay, no skins for the weapons and other stupid teenager things as emotes or cosmetic paid items. Maybe, this game is fro grown ups like me and teenagers would not like it. But it sets a mark and a dent in video game industry... hope they hear the call CREATE PRODUCTS WITH CONTENT!

I always felt sad that Sony Santa Monica chose to milk the God of War franchise, through the previous 6 games, each one having the same gameplay mechanics and labyrinthine story. However, that has all changed, and for the better. Every moment of this game feels polished, whether Kratos is having a conversation with his son, or slaying a massive beast. The storytelling is great, the combat is addictive, and surprisingly strategic. You are not mindlessly slaughtering all the Gods anymore, and you see that reflect in Kratos' choices across the game. All I want to say is, go play this game. A lot of people put a lot of their talent and time into it, and it is a masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El mejor juego que jugué hasta ahora, me encanto la acción frenética las masacres de enemigos es genial la como siempre todo comienzo de God of War es impactante de lo mejor en lo narrativo quiero más juegos así y en especial de la zaga no te decepciona a cala lugar que vas hay algo interesante belleza de juego el plano secuencia es lo más increíble por la inmersión, la dificultad máxima te da la mayor experiencia, desatas el infierno conforme vas avanzando en la aventura

    El juego se lleva cabo en el periodo de premigración germánica cuando, según la mitología escandinava, los dioses aún caminaban en la Tierra. Si te gusta la mitología nórdica y conoces su historia, te aseguro que disfrutarás la experiencia más que el resto, pues te cuenta de dioses, sus historias, peleas familiares y traiciones y chismes divinos. En esta reseña trataré de no spoilear puntos importantes de la trama del juego, pues es uno de sus mejores aspectos y es muy fácil arruinarla porque desde el inicio se revelan cosas que el jugador debe descubrir por sí mismo. Lo que sí diré es que el argumento está sorprendentemente bien contado y tiene momentos realmente emotivos que la convierten en una de las mejores formas de contar una historia en un videojuego, ah y un final que nos dejará desarrollando teorías cierto tiempo.

    La trama no sólo se desarrolla a través de cortes cinemáticos, sino que la relación entre Kratos y Atreus se forma durante caminatas, peleas y viajes en bote. Es muy interesante ver la interacción entre personalidades tan dispares con diálogos tan bien escritos y actuados. Las animaciones faciales y corporales son simplemente extraordinarios y la actuación de voz (en inglés; no lo jugué en español) es impecable. La voz de Kratos (Christopher Judge) es uno de los mejores castings de voz de los últimos tiempos, Atreus (Sunny Suljic) lo hace excelente y la interacción entre ambos es muy creíble y bien hecha.

    Uno de los logros más grandes de God of War es que desde el primer cuadro hasta el último, todo se lleva a cabo en plano secuencia, lo que significa que no hay cortes en ninguna parte, incluyendo batallas y todos los demás aspectos de gameplay. En papel, esto parece una simple técnica artística, pero en la práctica hace que la experiencia sea más inmersiva y añade un sentimiento de presencia que no sólo resulta muy agradable, sino que ayuda a establecer el ritmo del juego.

En papel, esto parece una simple técnica artística, pero en la práctica hace que la experiencia sea más inmersiva y añade un sentimiento de presencia que no sólo resulta muy agradable, sino que ayuda a establecer el ritmo del juego.

    el combate se veía diferente respecto a las entregas anteriores. Esto es verdad sólo al principio, porque empieza con un ritmo pausado para que elijas a cada uno de tus contrincantes y decidas en qué dirección lanzar los golpes. Conforme avanzas, el sistema de batalla es cada vez más suelto y en un punto te darás cuenta de que estás jugando un God of War hecho y derecho, lleno de acción visceral y de que lo único que cambió fue el posicionamiento de la cámara. Esto no significa que una vez avanzado el juego solo luches de esta manera, sino que deberás adaptarte a cada enemigo o grupo de enemigos y, cada vez, tendrás que elegir si te conviene pelear de una forma más pausada o si lo conveniente es desatar el infierno por todos lados. En el combate pausado tendrás que aprender patrones de los oponentes para poder esquivarlos y atacar, y, aunque no llega a ser tan estratégico como un Dark Souls (lo siento, la comparación es inevitable), es más suelto y “divertido”. Por su parte, el modo de combate lleno de acción tiene la brutalidad que conoces de un God of War, con ejecuciones sangrientas y diferentes para cada enemigo y, aunque son geniales, después de combatir hordas de las mismas criaturas tienden a tornarse repetitivas.

    Desde su anuncio fue claro que God of War sería un nuevo comienzo para la serie: el dios de la guerra dejó atrás la mitología griega (porque la exterminó) para dejarse la barba, mudarse, poner su casa en medio de los bosques de la mitología nórdica y empezar una familia. Todos estos cambios no significan que el juego haya olvidado su esencia, pues a pesar de todo, tiene lo suficiente para sentirse familiar. El combate visceral y violento, los personajes carismáticos y un elevadísimo valor de producción están presentes y, en algunas áreas, mejores que nunca.

    En esta nueva entrega Kratos es acompañado por su hijo Atreus, a quien deberá enseñar a sobrevivir en los 9 mundos viva    … Expand

    The combat in the game is great, the visuals are stunning and the characters are interesting. This is a must play if you own a PS4.    … Expand

    Saying God of War is an excellent game is putting it mildly. Before release, Most people were worried about the cinematic element and the ostensibly slow combat, bizarre thing is most of them did not even own a PS4 and had not played any previous games from this visceral series.

Now after finishing this game, I can say that this is my favorite game of the 8th generation of consoles, tied with Witcher 3 of course. The single camera shot really accentuates the jaw dropping feeling in boss battles and makes you feel closer to the characters.
    Enemies feel widely varied and the Leviathan axe is one of the best weapons in gaming. By that I don't mean it's overpowered or anything. There are amazing customizations that make every one of your wildest wishes with the weapon come true. And pressing Triangle to recall it from anywhere is as great of a feeling as you think it is. The game is hard though. But you'll enjoy it even if you're not the most skilled player out there. This is the best I can do without spoiling the game and I think it will be a disservice to the creators and the players alike since it's very easily spoiled. Just play this game and you will understand what I'm saying.    … Expand

    Easily one of the best games on the PS4 and easily one of the best games of this generation. The new God of War marks a new era in the series thirteen year old history, with an amazing heartfelt story, new characters and places to explore, and an older, calmer Kratos with so many more adventures to have. A new beginning was announced in 2016, and it has arrived with a bang that can be feltEasily one of the best games on the PS4 and easily one of the best games of this generation. The new God of War marks a new era in the series thirteen year old history, with an amazing heartfelt story, new characters and places to explore, and an older, calmer Kratos with so many more adventures to have. A new beginning was announced in 2016, and it has arrived with a bang that can be felt throughout the Nine Realms.

    Let's start with the setting. This is something the series had always excelled in, whether we were visiting ancient portrayals of Athens, Sparta, or Rhodes, or the fantastical locations of Mount Olympus and the Underworld, God of War has always wowed with it's visuals. This tradition continues in Midgard, a wild, mostly untamed land full of lush woods, snowy mountains, deep caves, and goes even further with it's additional realms of Alfheim, Helheim and more. The world itself feels massive and just about everything you see, you can go to. The characters themselves all look incredibly life like. Kratos looks less stylized and more human, which certainly fits the theme of the game. The Norse gods themselves may not look as grandiose as their Greek counterparts, but their style and design fits the new aesthetics perfectly. I played this game on a launch PS4 and it still looked incredible, but I also got to play it on a Pro with a 4K television and level of detail reaches a phenomenal quality. If you can play this game in 4K. do it!

    Combat has changed considerably from previous titles. God of War was always a hack n' slash style of game, but by Ascension that had slowly started to wear thin. This new Dark Souls-inspired combat is a refreshing take and lends itself really well to the over-the-shoulder camera angle this new entry adopts. Combat flows smoothly and feels methodical and purposeful, and the Leviathan ax will surely satisfy anyone missing the iconic chain blades Kratos has become known for, and recalling the ax once it is thrown never EVER gets old. Atreus also lends himself really well to combat. He is there to support you, whether it's by shooting arrows to distract enemies at your command, choking them with his bow to provide you with an opening to unleash vicious combos, or by alerting you to enemies trying to flank you. He never gets in the way, and never feels like a nuisance or a burden, thanks to a very competent A.I.. Enemy types have many different variations and you will need to adapt your strategy accordingly. For instance, Hel-Reavers are immune to the Leviathan ax, so using your fists and shield will be the best way to take them out, and Revenants will dodge any attack unless stunned by one of Atreus' arrows first. Learning and upgrading new skills and attacks will also come into a play a bit. Runic attacks can change the flow of battle in an instant and can be tailored to how you want to fight. I chose an ice beam attack that froze my enemies on contact to slow them down and frozen slam attack for crowd control. It is also crucial to upgrade your gear. Enemies get progressively tougher as the game opens up and fortunately, the dwarves Brok and sindri are their to craft you new gear pieces, and upgrade any you find on the road. The crafting system itself takes some getting used to, but once you gotten over this hurdle it becomes a cake walk. Also, early game, put a bit of focus on the Luck stat, trust me.

    Now onto the story. The God of War series has always told serviceable stories, but never anything of this caliber. The previous games were all violent rage-fueled power fantasies using Greek mythology as a backdrop(not knocking on this because it actually DID work). This game, however, takes a more intimate approach with its characters. The story is no longer about a man hacking his way through a pantheon of gods, it is about a father and a son that don't really understand one another yet must reconcile their differences in order to survive the journey ahead. The main focus of the plot is actually a simple one: Kratos and Atreus are trying to deliver Faye's(Kratos wife/Atreus' mother) ashes to the highest peak in the realms. However, the world itself gets in the way. The two must learn to work together to honor Faye's last wish and watching this man that for over ten years was nothing but rage, show such heartwarming emotions for another person tugged at my heartstrings every time.The plot also opens up the series for some amazing feats going forward and if he ending is any indication, we in are for even greater more memorable adventures in the future.

    Overall, God of War was the game I looked forward to the most since it was announced back in 2016, and I have not been disappointed. It's quickly jumped into the list of my favorite games of all time and is an easy contender for Game of the Year. Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2 will certainly give it a run for it's money, but God of War is a game worthy of recognition and one that everyone should experience.    … Expand

The graphics are phenomenal, from claustrophobic caves to lush forests to vast oceans and mountain ranges, you never feel bored of your stunning surroundings. I was apprehensive of the new Leviathan axe, Kratos' new primary melee weapon, however the progression system for moves and abilities as well as the enhancements you can make to the Leviathan axe, not to mention Atreus' bow, keep you very much engaged and working towards the next upgrade. You can also throw down and go bare knuckles if you please, which like the axe, rage and Atreus' bow has it's own skill tree. Kratos and Atreus also have several armor options to aid them on their journey and enhance certain play styles. Kratos' son Atreus proves to be a vital asset in the game and is essential for progressing through the story as well as aiding in fights. The fighting is varied and fluid, with a wide variety of moves and many types of enemies to practice on including some epic boss battles, but there are also the slow points when Kratos takes the time to tell his son a story whilst they paddle across the Lake of the Nine or the two take in their surroundings giving the player time to do the same. There are unique places to discover and many puzzles throughout the realms, some requiring you to return later in the game when your and your weapons abilities have grown. There is so much detail to each area, and the developers encourage exploration from the start, allowing the player to truly appreciate each place as they progress through the game. With many side-quests, you can follow the main story or branch out and explore the greater world, allowing for ultimate freedom during your play through. Truly a refreshing and amazing iteration for Santa Monica Studios, and a flex of muscle in just what they are capable of in modern gaming. You need not wait for DLC or updates here, this is a wonderfully vast and complete game. A must have, 10/10.… Expand

    Story: The story follows Kratos and his son, Atreus on a personal journey that they must complete together. The character development starts with how much of a struggle it is for Kratos to not only teach his son how to be strong and able to survive, but also to bond. If you know Kratos, he isn't the most sympathetic individual. However, with them trying to start their journey, Odin takes note of there being an unfamiliar presence in their world. This of course complicates the journey that Kratos and his son is needing to complete.

    Graphics: The graphics on this game are absolutely phenomenal. It uses the fantastic technique of what Half Life used, with everything being one shot. Also, the lighting, level of detail of the world, and the characters is next level, that I could not picture the PS4/Pro to handle.

    Game play: For me, this is on the same level as the story. None of the combat ever feels dull or boring. Each enemy shines in there own way and provides different scenarios on how the player is forced to defeat the foe. Not only that, but the enemies are at different levels and difficulty of the type, and they can be mixed in with weaker enemies, so it forces you to be careful at how you play. The RPG elements of the game is on point. Better than the more recent RPG's on leveling up and really lets you customize Kratos and Atreus on how you want them to be. More aggressive? More defensive? Want a perfect balance? You have the power to make it however you need it to be. The fighting and leveling up on the characters are so in depth, that it takes you by surprise that this is coming from a single player game.

    Overall thoughts: I played God of War on the PS4 Pro, with resolution mode. I did it, because I wanted to really see if the system can handle it, and if not, I could easily swap it over to performance. Through the whole main story, I did experience a few frame drops. BUT, I never felt like I had to take it off the resolution mode. It happened so quick, that it never bothered me and not effect any gameplay in any way. The reason why I mention this, is because I have seen a lot of flack. But on resolution mode is a great way to experience this game, if you prefer that over frame rate. I will try out performance mode once I replay the game, to just have higher framerate, but I did not want to use on the first run since it wasn't locked and I wanted to limit stutter as much as possible. This game does an amazing job at telling a story, letting you get pumped, excited, worried and overall attached to the characters, and that has never been the case with previous God of Wars. This was a step in the right direction, and unique in its own way, and I highly encourage you to try out the highest rated game on the PS4, so far.    … Expand

    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.
