    Every game I've played since the Witcher 3 could not live up to my expectations but this one definitely has, and in my book, this is on the same level if not better than the Witcher 3. Without a doubt game of the year.

    OK story
    Amazing visual.
    Fun combat system (various choice of skills and ways to fight)

    Cons:
    Story is way too short. After 30 hours of game play (I spend a lot of time on trying to solve the treasure chests' puzzle along my path in the main story), I thought I was only half way in the main story. But the next day I woke up and try to continue, I ended up just climb a mountain (5 min) and thats it. The End. For a 60$ game, I strongly feel like there should be more content. (Also very little side quests, as the world is too small). I spend about 40 hours finish the entire game, including grinding for fully upgraded legendary equipments and finished all the side quests.
    Very very repetitive enemies. (You end up only freeing the dragons in side quest instead of fighting them)
    (Under auto setting, the camera rotate speed makes me nauseous. I end up set it to 2, otherwise I cant play this game. But it doesnt effect game play experience at all.)
    (If you fully upgraded your health and anger meter, there isnt much motivation to solve the puzzle for the legendary chest puzzles)

    Overall:
    I definitely enjoy the game. Its a fun game, very engaging, the recorded conversation makes u be a part of the game. Visual is great. However, Horizon zero dawn has similar/better visual effect, better and longer story, and a lot more contents. Therefore, I think GOW deserves a good score but not higher than Horizon Zero Dawn.    … Expand

    Having played only a bare minimum amount of time at the time of writing this;

    My opinion is that God Of War (4) is the utmost most innovative, tightly made (especially the controls!!!) and best looking work of art/videogame that I have ever played, in my entire life.
    I love everything from the story telling to the combat. It's the perfect game and that is not something I say lightly.

    This really feels like the best that action games have to offer in 2018. An interesting story, a rewarding combat experience, some RPG elements, beautiful landscapes, challenging sections and bosses. It's, hands-down, the best game on 2018 so far and a serious contender for game of the year.

    De longe um dos jogos mais tocantes desde o lançamento do primeiro da franquia. Gameplay fluida e agradável, nada de quebrar botões como nos últimos, além de uma história complexa mas gostosa de se entender, a forma que encaixaram o Kratos na mitologia nórdica foi espetacular.

    Let me start off this review by saying that I have never liked the God of War series of hack and slash games. I mean, I guess they were fun but I could never really commit to them.

I mean, I guess they were fun but I could never really commit to them. So when I saw the game was changing perspective both visually and in the narrative I was very intrigued and after playing the game all weekend, I feel I can make a fairly sound judgement on the quality of the game.

    As I start to write I am having a hard time deciding where to start. Do I like the graphics? Yes. Do I like the story? Very much. Do I like the combat? Yes, yes I do. Exploring, levelling and character design, crafting, side questing? Yes! Yes! YES! It is hard to find one part of the game that is better than any other. I guess what it is about this game that makes it so special is that one very desired but every elusive concept in video games, Balance. Cory Barlog and Santa Monica Studios have done what so many developers strive to do, create a game where all the systems integrate so well you never struggle to understand what you need to do and at the same time, does not feel like the game is holding your hand. One of my favourite way the game has done this is near the beginning of the game. Just after the player opens the map for the first time, Kratos and Atrius' dialogue suggests that since the map has more to see maybe we should go see whats on the map. I like this because not only did the conversation sound natural between these characters, but because it hinted at how the game can be played.

    I like a lot of different games for many different reasons. God of War I love because there is not any one reason to love it. The vision that Cory and his team had for this game feel like it is complete. Nothing was left out or added for no reason, everything carries weight, everything is in Ballance.

    Final Note: Hey Santa Monica studios, early 3D Legend of Zelda called, they want their design back.....not exactly but Dare to Compare....lol...BALANCE!!!!    … Expand

    As for Kratos i love the way he is showed in the game a more mature more down to earth god of war as compared to the previous games. Not as cocky as before but a more realized person and ofc a person who now knows that he did messed up because of his endless rage in his previous life

    The game also matured in my opinion alongside with the main protagonist both in style and in combat. It is not a hack and slash game or a mash button game anymore , now you need to think, dodge, strike at the right time and when done correctly it is unbelievable how satisfying that is.

    The relationship between father and son it is just Wow. Atreious is amazing a very good addition.
    And because i see a few comments comparing it with last of us i say why not? A beautiful acclaimed game, which people loved.

    Santa monica realized what gamers want and took that, copy that and made it perfect.

    After playing the game I have to say I was disappointed. Not because it was a bad game but because I got too hyped up by all the 10/10 Reviews. The game itself is good but far from perfect.

Why do theyAfter playing the game I have to say I was disappointed. Not because it was a bad game but because I got too hyped up by all the 10/10 Reviews. The game itself is good but far from perfect. The first problem is the handling of the lore which is done really bad. An example for this would be the first shrine you find telling you about two giant wolfs who chase the sun and moon. Why do they chase them? Where do they come from? These are just two of the questions left open by the very little information given in the shrine. In fact there is no further information on them than what I already said and the questions left behind are never answered, which is the case with all shrines. The second bad thing is the world. Midgard, which is the main area of the game, is in same areans far too big so that it quickly feels repetitive if you encounter the same kind of location with nothing new or notable added to it. The other realms on the other hand are both small, really small, and bland. Though they are nice to look at they don't give a feeling of what that realm might look like beyond the places you have seen. The worst bit was when visiting one realm where you see several strange things that are essential to this realm and yet you learn nothing about them making it impossible to get any feeling for these places. The last problem is the story. While it starts good and strong it gets dull rather soon. After five hours into the story it fells even meaningless to some extend. The main story is the journey to the top of the highest mountain and when you supposedly reach this mountain you find out that it isn't the highest one and so spent 80% of your journey with finding a portal to the right mountain, not even with going there on your own but to find a portal. The end boss, whom I don't want to spoil, feels incredible meaningless to the point that I didn't even realise that it was the endboss until the credits rolled. The story reuses the same small range of characters so often that it eventually feels like that moment when deadpool asked where the other X-Men were and whether they simply couldn't afford the big guys so they had to bring in the small side characters no one knew. If not for the great visuals, the good gameplay and the, at first, incredibly thrilling story I would probably score the game a 5/10. Its a decent or even good game but not the game of the generation and most certainly not a 10/10.… Expand

The funny thing is, I've been playing almost non stop since launch, and it reminds me one a games that you'd enjoy, even though it's mediocre, because this game has a lot of charm that Sci fi enthusiast may very well enjoy. It was a "good game" with major flaws in the form of (mostly) lackluster and/or unpolished content at launch, but it's good bones carried it through. The Foundation and Pathfinder updates were like calcium and skin to those bones, and Atlas rises was the vital organs, and I suspect the NEXT update to be the muscle, to truly bring this game to the "E3" version everyone is hoping for. Multiplayer will most likely get a more traditional revamp and it's going to be free, like all DLCs have been since day one and for the foreseeable future. Honestly, all they need to iron out is the variety (adding more assets for all things), animal animations and a.i. tweeks and more exploration variety in planets and space.

    One of the best games to come out of 2018; it's essentially a father and son story that comes mixed with the brutality and tragedy that is a staple in the God of War series. The story telling is excellent and generously borrows elements from the Norse Myth.

    The graphics are absolutely outstanding (as a PC gamer I am still impressed), especially if you're playing on a PS4 Pro. Midgard is absolutely breathtaking and I can't wait once they implement the photo mode in this game.

    Fans of the previous God of War series might be put off by the new weapon, but after a few hours of playing with the axe - rest assured that you will love God of War's new combat mechanics. The brutality is still there, but Kratos is now more deliberate with his strikes. One will definitely love the feel of the Leviathan Axe returning to Kratos' hand. Atreus is a key aspect of the game and combat as well; he is not some "dumb AI" you just leave to die - he actually becomes very useful once you get used to him, and it would serve you well to invest on the boy's skills.

    If you haven't bought this game yet, then don't be sorry. Be better. Buy it, boy!    … Expand

    Placing a one note character into a multidimensional environment and making it work, finally making Kratos shed his anger and become a wise and responsible man but still having glimpse of the old "Ghost of Sparta"
    Enjoy its legacy rather than nit-picking, he has changed (a little) but be grateful he is not dead, he is still the same character if not more

    but to my surprise this time his motivator was not a revenge ... he had a much deeper reason ... so for that reason I kept watching gameplays ... I could not just stay with a little glimpse of the videogame .. I kept watching video after video caught by its history

    I ended up watching 23 videos of 1 hour each

    when I finished watching all the videos I just had one feeling
    the feeling of having contemplated something unique for these times
    literally see a piece of art ... not only for an incredible development of characters but for the most beautiful and highly worked scenarios .. that gave you the feeling of see a picture in an art gallery

    This game is the closest I have ever been to saying a game is absolutely perfect. The story is great, the combat satysfying, the visuals stunning and the animations great. The faults that it has(like lack of enemy variety) are caused by the lack of budget that the team had. There is not a thing I would change about this game.

    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]
