    Ótimos gráficos, combate magnífico, narrativa espetacular. O melhor GOW já feito, enquanto a concorrência insiste em serviços, a Sony cada vez mais arrisca em jogos e reinventa seus clássicos.

    I have played the game, and to describe it in one word, i would say, spectacular. I am in love with the game, and was a little nervous at first, of how the gameplay was going to feel like, and if I was going to have as much fun playing this game as it was to play GOW 3. Youtube sucks, because it almost ruined the game for me.

    Um dos melhores jogos da geração!!! Eu entendo que os caixistas estão CHORANDO rios e rios de lagrimas, caixistas em vez de comprar jogos que por sinal não tem na MS comprem lenço umedecido.

    Fazia um bom tempo que não ficava ansioso por um jogo, mas esse God Of War superou todas as minhas expectativas. 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. Pra mim o jogo do ano até aqui.

    I did not play the previous games, so I didn't know what to expect going into this. I do love a good story driven RPG (Witcher 3, KOTOR), but somehow I didn't think God of War was in that vein. Always seemed like hack and slash type of game. Man was I surprised! Right from the first 10 mins you are drawn in. You care about what happens and can't put it down.

That beard though, it must have had it's own team off animators. The music, rich and engaging. Very well tied in to the theme and current actions. The voice acting is amazing also. Christoper Judge is perfect. I just need him to Teal'c out once and say "Indeed"

    As I am writing this I can't wait until I can spend time with these characters this evening. I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    It is mesmeric.It is grandiose in its level design and the story developes at a natural and perfectly timed pace.

Doesn't even feel like I'm locked in at 30FPS. To be honest, I just don't have the words to describe this great game. Just play it, you're doing yourself a disservice by not doing so.

A Sony, assim com sua Santa Mônica Studios, tem um respeito admirável por seu jogador, ao entregar a essência de um jogo, que é a história dele! As mecânicas de combate não estão difíceis, assim como nos anteriores, mas dão gosto de usar o machado agora. E os gráficos.. que lindos! E isso porque joguei no PS4 normal de meu amigo(dono do jogo, que eu ainda não peguei o meu). Aos fãs de God of War, digo: o velho Kratos continua com sua violência, mas é um novo homem para o qual torcemos. Então você fã não se arrependerá de comprar e jogar! Aos novos gamers em God of War, cuidado... vão se tornar fãs da franquia e após este, irão atrás dos antigos jogos.

Enemies don't die after two-three hits (I have only played on "give me a challenge difficulty). Story is good, only if there was an option to keep Atreus quiet, that would be nice, he keeps repeating himself. Load times are really fast when you die. Game looks stunning and runs ok, not 60fps on standard ps4 but similar to Uncharted 4. What else to say? This is my first review. Even my girlfriend likes it even though she's been killed 20 times in a row in the same place. I want to give this game a solid 9 but since xboners give it a zero, i give it a ten. Buy now!… Expand

    Pretty much a masterpiece, story is on point and Atreus is a great addition to Kratos's temper and power, combat is deep, flows well, feels amazing to play and is a joy. Graphics are phenomenal. One of the most gorgeous games on the Ps4, and hands down my GOTY.

    Forget the guys giving this game a 0! Some people just can't accept changes and this game honestly did that superbly! Kratos finally has personality and Atreus is a great addition to the series... The action and story definitely has more life to it and this feels like what Ascension should've been.

    Gráficamente luce genial, siendo uno de los mejores juegos visualmente de este año 2018, superando a muchos juegos de la actual generación.

    From the very start theres no bullshlt, its just straight into the game with beautiful graphics that roll straight into gameplay sometimes i dont even realise the cutscene is finished haha.
    From the very first 15 mins its all happening and the way it captures the fights and draws you into its brutal fighting nature, just an amazing experience...

    The SOUND holy crap, its crisp, its spot on and it captures your attention with its very detailed voices, ive gotta say the "stranger" voice looooove it

    The story is deep, its engaging, its father & son love
    While ive only played a little bit so far, by the end of this masterpiece i will be putting it in a sealed glass display cabnet as to preserve a diamond of gaming

    THIS GAME SHOULD NOT BE SCORED ANY LOWER THAN 10

Last of Us was one of the first games that sucked me into a story in a game and loved every minute of it until the credits rolled. GOW storytelling is epic. Also, throw in some Dark Souls combat, Rise of the Tomb Raider / Zelda exploration and phenomenal graphics and this game has me begging for it 'NOT' to end.

    At first your combat is basic. Two different Axe swings and a shield block. As you progress your combat becomes more GOD like and you feel like a frickin' bad arse. To many moments you catch yourself saying, "Whoaaaaa" to something Kratos does or the atmosphere. Worthy 10 score. This is no joke of a game... It's legit.    … 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]
