    I was pretty skeptical on how this game was going to turn out. Yeah on E3, the game had amazing visuals, yet the combat, as fun as it looked, was completely different than what you can expect from a franchise that originally was about hack and slash, kill and ask questions later. I was going to wait for a sale for this game, but after seeing gameplay on the final product and The StrangeI was pretty skeptical on how this game was going to turn out. Yeah on E3, the game had amazing visuals, yet the combat, as fun as it looked, was completely different than what you can expect from a franchise that originally was about hack and slash, kill and ask questions later. I was going to wait for a sale for this game, but after seeing gameplay on the final product and The Strange boss fight, I had no other choice but to buy the Digital Deluxe edition of this game. And Jesus Christ, this game is amazing, so far, it has my GAME OF THE YEAR spot in my list for this year. The visuals are amazing on this game, and the interaction Atreus has with Kratos, even though they are brief and make you think they're emotionless from part of Kratos, the game makes you feel that Kratos deeply cares about his child. The game mechanics are stunning, with the new combat system, it changes by your progress through the game, unlocking new ways to **** some Norse creatures up. I haven't beaten the story yet by how long it is, but I've been playing for about 3 days now and I don't think I'm halfway through it, the characters are actually likeable and are easy to remember because they all have an impact to the story. Another thing that I love is how semi-open world this game is, and it is probably the first time in my gaming history that I've enjoyed looting, I NEED to check every corner of the map because I want to increase my chances of getting new gear and finding more Hacksilver to upgrade my gear. Another thing I liked is how well the RPG elements on this game works, they are just fantastic and you feel you get stronger every time you get new equipment. The takedowns on the monster can sometimes get repetitive, but since there are a lot of different enemy types, the takedowns never get old, no matter how many times you see them (but that's just my opinion at least). My only complaint so far in this game (which I can't confirm) is that there is no NEW GAME +.
    In conclusion:
    Visuals: 10/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Sounds: 10/10
    Story: 10/10

    This game truly deserves the praise they are giving it, I am proud of you Cory Barlog, and your team as well, 5 years of wait have paid off. PLEASE ADD NEW GAME +    … Expand

    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

I'll just rate some different categories from 1 to 10 below, what I like and don't like about this game.

    Graphics 10/10

    As expected of Sony and Santa Monica, the reboot of God of War has fantastic graphics. The landscapes, mobs and creatures, as well as the protagonists are designed on a very high level and makes them look more believable. Although I must say that I really miss the godlike, flawless Kratos jawline :D.

    Story 10/10

    I think I'm like halfway-through now, and the main plot to this point has got me pretty hard. I like how the main focus is the education of Atreus by Kratos, and not just slaughtering all gods that come across you. The dwarven quests and treasure maps are also pretty cool and add a little bit more deepness into the open-world adventure.

    Characters 10/10

    I'm focusing mainly on the protagonists here. Kratos and Atreus are very well-written characters in God of War. Finally we get a more deeper look into Kratos' personality, who before was just an angry, vicious and screaming fella, and now is a caring father, who would give his life for the sake of his son. Kratos is still grumpy, but at least we can relate to him a little better, when he shows his human sides. Atreus feels generic from the first time we see him ingame. Like a son, who really wants to show his father, that he can stand for himself, fight and handle things alone without Kratos. Later on (spoiler alert!!!), when Kratos tells him that he's a god, we can feel his shift in personality, that he thinks he is invulnerable and unstoppable, as he begins to rebel against Kratos. This adds more tension and makes their relation even more interesting. But play the game yourself and you will know :).

    Music 9/10

    Epic, generic and sometimes ambient, the God of War soundtrack makes you feel the nordic atmosphere. From freezing landscapes to boss fights, the soundtrack doesn't fail to support the feeling of the game. Only thing I missed (to this point) is the original Kratos Soundtrack, that was playing in all games before. Gave me real chills and goosebumps whenever I heard it.

    Gameplay 10/10

    Compared to the old GOW games, the fighting system relies on more controlled actions, rather than fast combos like square,square,triangle with the Blades of Chaos. Kratos' Axe is his new main weapon and gives you the possibility to throw it to freeze enemies or proceed in the typical GOW riddles. The animations are smooth, haven't had any problems or bugs to date. And as announced, there are no eternal loading screens, that keep appearing whenever you enter a new area. This makes the game more fluid and smoother.

    Enemies, Bosses etc. 8/10

    Maybe I'll get some hate for this one, but after beating 10 golems and trolls in this game, seeing them over and over again feels kind of boring to me. Don't get me wrong, the fights can still be challenging, regarding the fact that they always get more HP and damage, but as far as I noticed they don't get any new moves and attacks that make them even more challenging than the ones before them. But nothing feels more epic, than beating a boss in GOW. I enjoyed every inch of the dragon boss battle, maybe it wasn't that challenging, but hell do they give you that f***ing nostalgia. So far this was my only critique point in this game.

    Conclusion 10/10

    For a hack&slay game, GOW offers to you more than you can imagine in this genre. Open world feeling, a challenging fighting system, interesting side quests, well rounded main story, an epic soundtrack and gorgeous graphics and animations. If this game doesn't get the Game of the Year Award, I don't know what will.

    It's a mix of witcher 3, senuas sacrifice with story telling on the level of the last of us, and an environment and graphics that are even better than horizon zero dawn (ps4 pro), which takes some doing. A must play game basically.

    Its a powerful experience by all accounts. The story, music, game-play mechanics and most of all the combat just elevates each other. The only problem is when it was all over it felt very short. (I mean like 40 hours just passed by!). In my opinion its better than the last of us and on par with Witcher 3.

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.

    I never been a fan of this series, the original games kind of monumental, but also has messy and has a little boring storyline with Greek mithology. I don't have enough money for PS4 yet, but fortunately my friend will buy this game in this Friday. (He was a big fan of the original series, but he has annoyed when realized the game has a new game style, no more twinblade and Greek mithology. But now he excited about it.)

    I like the games, which is more than pointless button hitting in the whole story... and this game have a soul, also monumental, and have an unforgottable impressive story.

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.

    From the minimalistic yet purposeful dialogue, the action-heavy fighting mechanics that reward tactical play, the simple yet effective RPG element, all within the immerse canon of Norse Mythology. The gorgeous landscape, rewarding exploration, and subtle OST only augments the experience.

    As reviewers mentioned, the use of over the camera vantage point that continues within cut-scenes, aided by lack of in-game loading screens, makes the game feel like one long epic single shot cinematic experience. Few hours into game play, I switched the HUD to "cinematic mode" to remove on-screen notifications, and the experience has been very rewarding.

    few bugs where the enemy get stuck behind chest or scenary but nothing that ruin the imersion.
    if you HAVE a PS4 you NEED to get this masterpiece

    The best game of the present generation behind The Witcher 3. God of War has the best story, is addictive, and its setting is sublime. It's the best purchase I've made in a long time. Santa Monica Studios is a company that cares about its customers, every week there are several updates that seek to polish details.

    Incredible game, awesome graphics, story and gameplay! I finished the game, and it was a great experience! I read some reviews and, honestly, i'm surprised.Some people are saying " this game killed the franchise" or " it's the same as last of us 2". Please, let's get some perspective here. I asure that if the new game were the same "hack and slash" as the others, everyone would beIncredible game, awesome graphics, story and gameplay! I finished the game, and it was a great experience!

I asure that if the new game were the same "hack and slash" as the others, everyone would be complaining cause there wouldn't be anything new, that the game had become boring or something like that. Still, i think that if were a XBOX game, the fanboys would be saying "it's the best game ever" and " suck it PS4". Sure, everyone has the right to don't like the game, but the "reasons why" that i read here are weird to me. And please, let's no the be fanboys, let's enjoy all platforms and exalt the good games!… 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.
