    I know a 5 seems like a low score for a lot of people, but I don't think God of War is bad, I just think it's unremarkable. The gameplay does just enough to be interesting, but for me the biggest flaw is that it was just too easy.

The gameplay does just enough to be interesting, but for me the biggest flaw is that it was just too easy. Even the Valkyries weren't that difficult and I believe that the Valkyrie Queen's level of difficulty would be perfect as a regular boss, but nowhere near difficult enough to be an optional boss (I know a lot of people had trouble with her and thought the Valkyries were extremely tough. I'm not trying to brag here, but i genuinely did not find them that difficult). This lack of difficulty is a problem, as I didn't really have to engage with the mechanics at all. Once I got the timing down for the dodge and parry, I was able to get through each encounter without putting in much thought into them.

    The world/playable map the game takes place in, while pretty looking was kind of dull. Everywhere you go, there was nothing that interesting in how you could interact with the world which made me not want to explore, but I had to anyway because you need loot to upgrade kratos. While on paper using loot for progression is a good idea as it is easier to control such that you don't get overpowered, I found the upgrades to be far too incremental to be exciting. It's hard to get psyched over doing slightly more damage and having slightly more armour. Worst of all, it kind of cheapens the combat. It makes some fights near impossible to get through until you get better armour in which case you can take it on the intended way. I don't like the feeling of losing a fight largely because I don't have good gear and die in a single hit. I rather do away with the upgrade system all together and just rely on your skill to get through fights. This is before mentioning the absolute mistake that was Niflheim. In short, it was an optional region where you can get good loot. Great, except to get everything you need to do the same thing over and over again. They should have tuned it such that you only need to go through the circuit maybe 5-7 times. As it is in game, it took you way too many times doing the same thing over and over again to get everything.

    Lastly the narrative, is okay. It is clearly trying to recreate a father child bonding type story that we got in the last of us. The issue with God of War is that we don't really see the character's grow in a substantial way. You would expect Kratos to go from an emotionally distant father, to someone who is more open. We kind of get that with him telling his son that he is a god, but he still dodges questions like where he got is blades of chaos. He doesn't feel that more open to Atreus then at the start. As it stands his character arc feels incomplete. Speaking of the boy, his arc is that he went from an unsure kid to a kid with a literal god complex back to a regular kid I guess? It kind of went by way to quickly and his turn to the dark side and then back into a tolerable character happened so fast it barely counts as growth. As for the main villain, he was extremely underwhelming. For some reason the writers decided to include a villain but not make him part of the main conflict. He's just something that happens in the story sometimes. When Kratos learns that there may be a way to defeat him, he shrugs it off and says that they will find a way, but does nothing to look for this weakness. In fact the villain has nothing to do with the quest of spreading Kratos's wife's ashes at all. If he were to disappear from the plot, nothing would have changed. Kratos would just get to his goal with less hassle. Kratos was literally just on his way to the end goal when the villain appears out of nowhere and starts a fight. So We're fighting the villian one last time I guess? no build up, nothing to tie him in with the rest of the plot. He's just there to be a boss fight.

    I know I sound harsh on the game, but the narrative was the weakest part of it by far, the gameplay makes up for it somewhat, but it suffers from being too easy to really engage me.    … Expand

    I am, and actually was, a fan of the series. I went through all parts of the game starting from ps2, through ps3 and psp, ending with the remaster on ps4. This part is a break with the previous formula, it is very boring, slow, annoying playability, stretched out fights , annoying kid. Not recommended.

    Beautiful game, much different than GOW 3 which was very inferior. GOW 2018 is a top game with similar interaction and gameplay like Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Last of us and other games. I didn't like GOW 3, but I liked GOW 2018. BUY IT !

    La historia me parecio muy muy buena, dejandome siempre con intriga por lo que va a pasar, atrapandome desde el primer minuto. El toque de humor que le agregan los personajes secundarios es muy bueno, mas de una vez me saco una carcajada.

I can't wait for ragnarok, and if you haven't played this game, you are truly missing out. The combat, scenery, story and atmosphere are top notch.

While things like jumping are missed I still had a lot of fun but what I enjoyed more then anything was the story. Having Kratos move to a new mythological land of gods is a fantastic idea. And while sometimes annoying I did really like the inclusion of Atreus his son. Him not knowing of his godley origin and him trying to emotionally connect with Kratos is something I didn't know I wanted to see in these games. And seeing Kraos open up and allow himself to connect to his boy is wonderful especially when you remember that all these games have been actual Greek tragedies for Kratos with him killing his wife daughter mother father inadvertently his brother and being betrayed by practically everyone I think the man deserves to find some happiness in these games.… Expand

    God of War triology has always been a fun game, but it did not have much depth in history. This game is incredible, they just improved the old trilogy and give a new face to the saga and re-created a new style, worthy of our ghost of sparta.

И эта игра эта игра просто выводит на новый уровень УСЛОВНОСТИ. Множество ситуаций в которых, в метре от героя находится кнопка/ключ открывающая путь дальше. Рукой потянуться немного надо… Фигушки. Иди ищи кристал, принеси кристал, выстрели, отправь сына… В один момент мне показывают какой Кратос божественно сильный, в другом он не может чутка подбросить паренька. Местный паркур, после ассасинов, дно днищенское. Надо перепрыгнуть между уступами? Нельзя просто сдвинуть стик в нужную сторону и нажать прыжок. Надо навести камеру в нужную точку, чтобы появилась кнопка прыжка. Боевка - мне не нужно 70% навыков. Достаточно всего пары комбинаций. При всей бедности навыков… По сути все сводится к комбе р1р1р1р2, зажатому р2 и броскам топора, плюс еще пары навыков, остальное юзаю скорее по приколу, нежели чем для какой-то пользы. Люди создавшие местные лифты, с которых нельзя спрыгнуть пока они не додедут, заслуживают отдельный котел. По итогам, мне понравились эффекты, дизайн мира и графика. Где тут шедевр я не понял… Это не шедевр, и даже не просто отличная игра. Это середнячок с плохими решениями, в очень красивой оболочке. Я очень разочарован. И я не жду продолжение.… Expand

    God Of War è un passo avanti rispetto ai suoi predecessori, una trama fantastica e un sistema di combattimento strepitoso, oltre a delle Cut Scene degne di film.

    This game is one of the most low-end middling things I have ever laid my hands on. I'd rather have a one time paper cut on my urethra than having to deal with this game and its gameplay until completion, but let's take it from the beginning:

I'd rather have a one time paper cut on my urethra than having to deal with this game and its gameplay until completion, but let's take it from the beginning:

    I decided to play it since the recent "Best videogame ever" statement (or award?) was thrown out there about God Of War. Wow, talk about a daring call to play it, right? So i scrounged my backlog and decided to give it a chance. Despite how bitter I may be about the game, I think there are a lot of good, perfect things about it, like its story and character development. Sadly, this shares around 50% of the time and focus of the experience, hence this score: 5/10. This obviously means that the gameplay, whatever this hot mess is supposed to be, is absolutely and categorically garbage.

    Who took this game to this strange hack & slash/RPG direction and/or combination that has you min maxing your character more than playing the game? Who thought it was good to give the players a million collectibles and customizations and upgradables instead of giving us character levels? Why the hell does the game pause you at ever second to give a tutorial about upgrading your weapons and armor but doesn't tell you that you have combat abilities?
    This game for some reason starts with a sort of Uncharted-esque style of level to then give you a somewhat open world and a overhead compass, which I hate and thought was idiotic, given the simplicity of the levels and the genre of the game, and gives you side missions that lead you to places you're not supposed at your current "level" only to get bent over by common overleveled enemies. So, what is the point of giving me freedom of movement when I can't face and unlock the things I see in the world? Making me go back as if this was a final fantasy or a dragon quest even though it's less than them but also not as much as a hack & slash as others? Who tf thought this was a good idea for a satisfying gameplay?

    The UI is also dreadful. A menu that closes the moment you want to go up a level in this submenu hell impossible to comfortably maneuver or that leaves you stucked in a tutorial about the millionth upgrade and blocks your inputs until you press X, X, R1 and square to equip your +3 attack cock-ring that won't save you from the skull purple enemies that one-hit kill you. What an absoiute mess.

    Ever since I was a teenager I was very into Norse mythology but I understand this is just an imagining inside the world of God Of War, so I don't have much to say regarding the art direction and the roles of the gods and Kratos in the game, I just want to say it's nothing special. I also thought that the depiction of Baldur was pretty offensive, not in the "I'm a snowflake and think this is culturally degrading", but as in "why tf is a messiah, Jesus Christ-like figure like Baldur portrayed like a drunk assholish lackey of Odin? He was his SON and not only that, his favourite one. Yes, his favourite son. Pick up a book, Studio Santa Monica".

    Overall, I think game should get the award "Most overrated mediocre game because we're frothing at the potential second coming of another videogame messiah" Award.
    Do you want to play a hack & slash? Pick up like Bayonetta or a Devil May Cry. Need an RPG? Think Persona, Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. Need a Norse Mythology fix? Pick up a book about the Norse Eddas or one of the Joanne M. Harris books. Just don't play this hot mess, and if you need to play crap like this, at least don't praise it as the second coming of videogame Christ because it is only like being approach by a homeless junkey that's trying to get a couple dollars from you for another fix at Walmart. What a disappointment...    … Expand

There is still a lot to do after you finish the games with the Valkyries which all are pretty different and unique, the huldra brother's amazing side quests and muselpheim challenges. The game gives good rewards for completing side quests. (I can say this as I couldn't finish some battles near the mountain without finishing some side quests in Give Me God Of War).
    This game has a lot of touching moments with Atreus as he matures and reminds you of your childhood. Cory Barlog best says it "Kratos teaches Atreus how to be a god, and Atreus teaches Kratos to be human again". This is not only evident in the main story but with all the side quests you do. This game also keeps you interested in the story and Norse mythology whenever you are realm travelling or riding a boat. The one-shot camera and he amazingly fast realm and fast travels without loading screens shows it's technical greatness. Overall, there is a reason it won GOTY and it's sequel is more hyped than the legend of Zelda sequel. Proud to say this was the first game I played on my PS4.    … Expand

    Ok time to make some enemies. God of War 4 -because screw you titling the nth game in the series the same as the first is ridiculous and confusing and I wish to Odin people would stop doing it- is a good game, but it's not nearly as good some people like to say it is. It sacrifices the addictive, fun and cinematic gameplay for far slower, more personal gameplay, which isn't necessarily aOk time to make some enemies. God of War 4 -because screw you titling the nth game in the series the same as the first is ridiculous and confusing and I wish to Odin people would stop doing it- is a good game, but it's not nearly as good some people like to say it is. It sacrifices the addictive, fun and cinematic gameplay for far slower, more personal gameplay, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is here.

    God of War 4 acts as a soft reboot of the series after God of War 3 seemingly capped off the series with Kratos killing his father Zeus, so what do you do when you've butchered the entire Greek Pantheon and left Greece in ruin? You move to Norway. Yes GoW4 moves to Norse mythology and barely takes advantage of that fact. The game gives you a whole host of worlds existing within Norse Myth but only lets you explore a handful, the game tells you about Thor and Odin and the closest you get to meeting either of them is a teaser for Ragnarok, you get to fight Baldur, a Greek god and his boss fight is great but it's the final fight and he's the only god you get to fight. This combined with the game failing to outdo the old games in many regards such as general combat, where the originals had you fight in big open spaces with a zoomed out camera and free control, GoW4 has you fight in open spaces with a clingy camera with minimal control, the fact that you can't pan the camera to watch behind you while you run for a health item results in countless hits and or deaths that should be totally avoidable, and I know SA knew this, because they had Atreus, Kratos' son, yell directions enemies are at, as well as having on screen prompts, but this doesn't really help for big AOE attacks on bosses or when Atreus is absent from the fight. Not helping matters is the lack of maneuverability, Kratos is more sluggish but also bafflingly, can't jump and therefore can't perform aerial attacks. Exploration has taken a NaughtyDog approach, in that you can't jump unless contextual, the game is riddled with sleep inducing climbing sections that have all the gameplay of a walking simulator.

    Where the game shines is with its characters and dialogue, Kratos and Atreus are remarkably enjoyable characters which is surprising when Kratos is pretty unlikeable, what with him murdering, slaughtering and butchering his way through Greece before, and Atreus is a child, generally unlikeable creatures, but he's wonderful, he's funny, endearing and intriguing, and it's endlessly captivating watching the two interact. Kratos going to console his son but backing away too afraid to let his guard down, even to his own child, no doubt riddled with ptsd and regret from his last family, Atreus telling a bad joke and Kratos laughing, only to deny it, Kratos believing Atreus to be injured, hearing his voice break from his general brooding demeanour into genuine worry and concern for his son, made absolutely unforgettable by Christopher Judge, Kratos' new voice actor. Speaking of voice actors, I was surprised to find Atreus voice actor, Sunny Suljic was a rare case of a genuinely fantastic child actor, which makes him a great child actor, a great child character and a great escort character... the man simply defies logic and I thought his VO work was great, especially during emotional scenes like where Kratos leaves for a few minutes but when we arrive back at Boy, we seem to have been gone several hours at least and he yells at Kratos... before going back to acting like normal like nothing happened... sorry this was meant to be the positive part of the review but that part really irked me.

    Overall, God of War The 4th, is like I said, a good game, a VERY good game, but it's not great, not even close. It thinks it's better than it is and has somehow convinced droves the same thing, acting as if the series only JUST got a good story when that has in fact, always been the case, whether or not you took notice because you were too busy distracted by it's complimentarily fantastic gameplay, is not the fault of the game. And unfortunately, Gears of God 4 doesn't quite match up to that level of superb dichotomy of gameplay and story, and relies solely on its story, which is great mind you, but hopefully Ragnarok can deliver both this time around rather than being a One-Trick. Nevertheless, I am very excited to see where the story goes next, and maybe actually fight more than one god and hopefully 0 Trolls with bloody rocks.    … Expand

    This is probably the least fun and most boring game I've played in a while. Combat is boring and repetitive, story is also uninteresting, Kratos is such an unfun character and boy is just annoying. Nothing is good about this game other than the visuals.

    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]
