    I have been waiting so long for a game of this quality. There's not much I play nowadays due to the terrible direction that the gaming industry has gone. This was an absolute pleasure to play and kept me excited throughout the game like I was 10 again ^_^
    It would be a crime to miss out on this masterpiece.

    Foi uma mudança necessária, para quem jogou percebeu que o game amadureceu e esta excelente, não encontrei defeitos no jogo, possui os melhores gráficos do PS4 até agora, o som é perfeito, a história é ótima e te deixa ansioso para saber mais sobre a mitologia nórdica. Quem possui um Playstation 4 e jogou os GOW's anteriores precisa jogar este.

    I think the game is spectacular. To begin with, the history and development of the main and secondary characters. The soundtrack is a musical orchestra, the background music goes with the game. The game tells the story very well and can not be predicted, the battles are epic, they entertain always, you never end up bored and the fact that you can improve the weapons, armor, abilities and also of your son's is something that helps the history and relationship Father and Son.
    Kratos became a very wise and experienced person both in how to fight and act.

    **** these people. Let them rot in hell. I guarantee they're awful in real life as well.

    n the face of competition from both the Xbox one and the PC, God of war comes as a boon to the PS4, a showcase of the console exclusives that makes you glad you invested in Sony's system. Not since Horizon Zero Dawn have I been so deeply drawn into a game's narrative and combat. This is on the cusp of gaming perfection. No DLC. No need for multiplayer. Not only is it a wonderful gaming experience, it's a wonderful learning experience.

    You are constantly told Norse stories and are shed more light on prominent Norse figures by the ever-so-wise Mimir, and his tales, his banter, are pure joy. I was eager for every morsel of information he passed on These tales are brought to life and made even more epic by the sweeping orchestral sound track and its robust use of chants and choirs.

    Finally I would be foolish to not talk about the visuals of the game. Oh my goodness, the visuals. They're amazing. Breathtaking, even. I found myself scouring the screen, every detail of the world, several times. The foliage, the weather effects, the ruins. The scenery in general. This is without a doubt the most beautiful game I've ever played. You cannot go wrong by playing God of War    … Expand

After a good week of playing time, I feel like the changing of the direction was necessary in order to bring the game into the current generation. Games in general feel more mature, fleshed out and serious which have never been God of War's forte. Sony have worked wonders by giving the game meaning and I presume have taken a massive gamble by trying to update the series. The trademark gore and action remains, but the combat has been revamped from a pure hack and slash to bring weighty mechanics behind it, along with strategy. It feels more like Batman Arkham asylum in fighting style terms, with each axe swing noticeably causing damage a slight wince as you cut holes into your foes. The graphics are absolutely astounding, I am playing on my PS4 PRO on a 4k TV with HDR settings on and I can safely say this is easily the best looking game I own at the moment, or probably have seen. The 'one shot' camera feels brilliant with constant views of what's going on to the point where you don't know the cut scenes have started in some places! The only niggle with this is during fight scenes enemies can be off screen and you need to manually adjust the view. I feel this is a genuine game of the year contender and I am hoping I don't finish it soon, as I am enjoying it so much.… Expand

On top of it the graphics are jaw dropping, this is truly the perfect game.

    Uncharted 4 & last of us were my favourite Exclusives yet but no one even comes close to this MASTERPIECE, the team behind the game has brought the franchise from the depths of death to an immortal place among the gaming world.

    Now the only question is how do you out do this????

The almost obsessive level of detail does not go unnoticed! In everything from the combat mechanics to the story writing to the random inter-character dialogues, everything was incredibly well put together.

    The combat mechanics (the ax throws, the ax swings) are flawless. The weight feels right. The parry timing is on point. The variety of attacks is just right. Using Atreus, the main character's son, as a secondary fighter was very smoothly done. The way he grows and is able to fight on his own, but still respond to your command, is just right.

    Similarly, the way Atreus is used to solve puzzles is well done. He acquires a unique range of skills to unlock areas and solve puzzles to progress the story, and it never felt forced or out of context with the story/setting.

    That said, the entire interaction between Kratos (main character) and Atreus is one of the most unique interactions I've ever seen in a video game. At first it's hard not to think of The Last of Us and the interaction between those characters, but there is so much more ethos and pathos in the relationship between Kratos and Atreus. Their father/son bond is tenuous, at best, and how they both grow as characters, feeding off of each other and learning from their mistakes, is near-perfectly written.

    Nothing felt out of place. Atreus is masterfully used by the developers to "teach" Kratos about lore and other things in the world that are really meant to be taught to the player. Similarly, Kratos teaches Atreus about combat and about nagivation. This dynamic is completely natural and such a unique way to fill the player in on aspects of the game. Other NPCs eventually add to this role, as well, all the while maintaining a completely natural addition to the story.

    The no-cut camera, while hard to get used to the shakiness at first, was very impressive by the end. Not a single loading screen, as all load times were well-disguised by in-game mechanics such as lifting a log or climbing up a mountain wall.

    The voice acting and animation were also stunning. I truly cannot fault a single technical aspect of this game for anything. It is an absolute masterpiece.    … Expand

    The story is extremely engrossing thanks to some excellent level/map design and writing. No cut to blacks - just one, continuous adventure. You find yourself listening closely in as the player, to each and every conversation Kratos and his son shares. Nuanced details like this do leaps and bounds in terms of player involvement. The lore is also easy to digest, and rather accessible, even to somebody new to the series.

    Monica studios just want to pump out some more money from the series After in my mind
    A perfect open ending in GoW3 with space for imagination..

    That worry’s were blown away after the first 10 minutes of gameplay.. this whole gaming experience left me stunned.. I love all previous GoW games but this is my new favourite.

    You and the whole team. You did an amazing job with this game and I’m so thankful to be able to witness it..
    I saw a interview the other Day which left me with goosebumps and took all
    My fear of bad upcoming parts. You said something probably most even don’t consider.
    You are not only one of the 2 fathers of Kratos character you are also one of its biggest fans and your goal is not to ruin the games legacy on purpose and all that you said was so joyful to listen to..
    You made me happy. Thanks for all and this awsome game and best wishes to you since
    Such a great person!

    This is one of the best game ever. I experienced every system in the game, and there are nothing new in the game. But Balance, between contents and scenario, is amazing more than Last of us. It is perfect for me, and I can recommend this game who love story-based game or action game.

    Alongside Witcher 3 this might be the best game I'v ever played. Ignore the 0 ratings reviews. They are bots. Remember that you don't have to have the game to write reviews in this site so these people probably don't even have the game and maybe that's a reason why they bomb ratings.

Never has there been a very long loading screen when traveling between worlds (looking at you Deus Ex: Mankind Divided). Even after the stary, there are enough challenges to do, and the endgame is really fun. The gear you get is very rewarding and worth the grind (it can get a little grindy yes). Kudos to Santa Monico studios and their new iteration. I really like what they have done and it still feels like a God of War game, even though it's quite different.

    Anyone who tries to say the camera doesn't work just doesn't understand something or simply hasn't played to any extent. If you're worried about dying from behind, don't be. I have beaten the game and lots of side content on give me GOW and almost never die from behind because only a simple understanding of the enemy allows you to dodge attacks from all angles from feel alone even without UI if you like, The close up camera makes the combat very strategic and forces you to keep moving, in a good way.
    Enemies feel great in this game. I've had so much fun learning all the actions of the enemies and it has had real affects on my game play. The game gives you so much room to master and feel like you've conquered stuff. Boss fights are not repetitive and anyone who says this didn't play the game. Yes there is lots of trolls, but they all have some twist to them and you even fight 2 at once which was one of the best fights. All the other bosses are amazing and like the enemies leave tons of room to learn and conquer.
    The world is absolutely amazing. Backtracking never feels like a chore because there's always some new sight to see or thing to collect for a long time.
    The crafting, runic attacks, enchantments and all that are not super deep but just enough to allow you to make real builds and use different tools for different encounters. Endgame realms have to you doing challenges and traversing a maze so you will need to switch things up and swap certain items. Sure it's not the best crafting and armor system by any means but if embraced adds the perfect little layer of creativity to your kratos that goes a long way.
    A lot of the negative reviews are blatant attempts of slander with many people making it painfully obvious they didn't play much if at all. I totally understand trying to make a grounded review but the 0 reviews on this game are nothing but a sad attempt to deface an excellent game over a stupid console war.    … Expand

    There is a lot one could say about the God of War series. From the prior games, it is easy to say that the driving force behind the series has been the engaging and unique story. In games 1-3 (+acension) it is generally similar fighting styles with a hack and slash type feeling with some fun combos and quite obviously the boss fights that make the player feel like a god slaying badass. ButThere is a lot one could say about the God of War series. From the prior games, it is easy to say that the driving force behind the series has been the engaging and unique story. In games 1-3 (+acension) it is generally similar fighting styles with a hack and slash type feeling with some fun combos and quite obviously the boss fights that make the player feel like a god slaying badass. But what makes this game so special is the fact that they took all the good parts of the game and made those better whilst at the same time completely revamping everything else in the process. The combat feels much more meaningful. Each enemy poses their own unique threat and they don't feel like cannon fodder into the super god slaying Beyblade that was Kratos in the previous titles. You aren't going to run into one hit enemies. You are going to need to use everything at your disposal in a majority of your battles. There is an engaging environment and it really does a good job of showing what the ps4 is capable of as well as how much the reworked engine has improved the game in general (HOLY CRAP THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL). The boss fights in the game are just as fun as the ones in previous titles if not more. No spoilers but some bosses will make you want to kill them in real life as much as you do in the game. I could go on and on but at the end of the day you need to try it yourself. I have always been an xbox player. But lately ps4 exclusives have been stealing the show and the release of this game was the selling point for me. I have now switched to a ps4 pro and have been playing many of the ps4 exclusives and atleast in this console generation. Ps4 takes the cake especially when it comes to story driven single player games that make you immersed. Very rarely do I want to replay a single player game after I beat it. I usually rent solo games from Redbox as I don't see the replay value. However, 15 minutes into the game after I rented it I bought the thing back and I bought it for full price. Because the environment alone had me sold. Character development, combat, environment, graphics, all other aspects of the game are all just top notch. This game is worth it to anyone even if you haven't played the previous games. Just watch a 20 minutes story catch up video on youtube and you'll get the jist. This game is beyond worth the money and I am now playing through the game again on God of War difficulty in pursuit of a 100% completion. The best thing about it. Doesn't feel like a grind in the slightest. I am loving every second of this jaw-dropping title.… Expand

The only reason I picked this up is word-of-mouth, and, boy, did the game live up. From the story to the graphics, from the level design to the upgrades, this game is amazing. But what really makes it shine is the combat. There would have been so many ways to make this game go bad: cover shooting, hack-n-slash, too few types of enemies. The game doesn't do any of that. Combat is actually a challenge in this game, even on default difficulty. You can't stay back and shoot your way through, because enemies are too numerous and your "reload" isn't that fast. At the same time, you can't mindlessly jump into the fray, because you'll take to much damage and enemy shots tend to stun you. You truly and honestly have to plan and think on your feet: throw an axe, keep enemies in front of you, parry when you can, dodge when you have to, ask your partner for help, use "spells." If you're at all worried about this game's critical average being propped up by the presentation, don't. The combat in this game is rock solid. You WILL have fun with it.… Expand

With a solid gameplay and an awesome story line, this game proves that single player games still rocks. Side-quests are some of the best I have seen in the games without any repetitive or boring quests. The combat system is great and encourage players to try different strategies against different kinds of enemies. On the hardest difficulty the game can be pretty much brutal but the feeling of finally clearing a wave of draugrs makes it much more satisfying. The game is very much rewarding and you won't have to scrounge for resources for upgrades and items. There are a few minor bugs and glitches but that doesn't hamper the game experience and most of them will be fixed by the time you get your hands on this game. It is a must own for any PS4 user. Overall an awesome game with a well deserving 10 from me.… Expand

    And besides that, without losing the flame that characterizes this saga, which shows that only changes were made to improve in all aspects, Undoubtedly I have to add that the difficulty of the game is extremely nice, from those looking for a story (as the game says), to those who want a real challenge (God Of War). In conclusion, I have to say that it is one of the best games I have played,    … Expand

    Anyone who scores GOW lower then a 9 is a liar and has never played the game. This game is a masterpiece and destroys the previous 3 GOW games, and those games are incredible. I believe these reviews are from butthurt xbox fanboys to tarnish this great games review score! Everyone I've talked to about GOW has given it nothing but praise!

    MASTERPIECE! Story is awesome, gameplay is awesome, combat is satisfying and fun, a lot of different skills and cool moves to unlock, graphics are also insanely good, my only complaint would be that there's a couple of boring puzzles in this game but compared to the rest of the game you'll probably not even notice them.

    I haven't owned a game console for the past 20 years (PCMR!) but when I saw what Santa Monica Studios were bringing out I had to experience it first-hand. And boy (i know, i know), was I happy I did. This game is not perfect, it has kinks, it could've been better but the negative points are small and far between that they are overwhelmed by the positives.

This game is not perfect, it has kinks, it could've been better but the negative points are small and far between that they are overwhelmed by the positives. I enjoyed the combat way more later one but the story was consistent and top notch. Cory Barlog, I tip my hat to you, good sir. And a huge thanks to SIE and Santa Monica Studios for sticking to your guns and proving without a shadow of a doubt that good single player only experiences are still in high demand. I can't wait to see what you bring next (Egypt?).… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is awesome, the change is great, and there's a spoiler i need to give out for those who are angry or sad that kratos is using an axe ~SPOILER!~ The blades are in the game, May not be the same exact controls but hey, come on they needed to change sooner or later. This game in my opinion is awesome there's just a few things like repeated animations or models, stuff like that but it doesn't matter when you have a great storyline… Expand

    The game is amazing from everything. I like the new Kratos and the relation with his son Atreus.
    The only reason i bought PS4 is to play this game.

    Oh my god (no pun intended), this game blows my mind. Most importantly, the longer I play it, the more excited I get. While it took me a little while to really warm up to the new combat system and the Axe, I love it now, and when you get another certain set of weapons much later in the game, fans of the old games like me get a real treat. Graphics, gameplay, controls... top-notch. But moreOh my god (no pun intended), this game blows my mind. Most importantly, the longer I play it, the more excited I get.

Graphics, gameplay, controls... top-notch. But more importantly, how they improved on Kratos' character is amazing; he is so much more interesting and likeable now. And his son, against all my fears, is no burden, but a great help throughout.

    I haven't completed it yet so I can't give a final judgement yet, but it's already better than almost anything I have EVER played, on ANY platform. GOTY candidate for me already!    … 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.
