    I played the GoW trilogy on PS3 and it was fun. This was more for me a puzzle game then an action game. The puzzles were boring and the action was not good enough. The story was good but not that much. If the puzzles and riddles were more intelligent and connected to the story it would be more fun and entertaining.
    This felt like a mature game with puzzles for 5 year old children.

    God of war is probably one of if not the best gaming experience I've had. The story is phenomenal with every beat hitting hard, and the characterisation of each person is so good it makes you feel empathy for the bad guys. Combat is fun, intuitive and feels flowing.

    One of the best stories in a video game. All the side missions are good and the same with the gameplay. The stun kills can get a little repetitive but otherwise the story is amazing, bosses are hard and provide a challenge, and combat is an absolute wonder to use.

    While I am not a fan of metroidvania level design, which resulted in me blazing through the main quest doing little to no exploration, the side content of this game is enough to compensate for the game's main story, sadly, which is short enough that it makes you feel like you bought half the game. Even so, the story was a blast to go through complemented by impressive cutscenes (that transitions fairly smoothly with the gameplay), dialogues and pacing. I only wish it was longer.    … Expand

    God of War is way better than God of War 3. I found that God of War has the perfect balance between action, puzzles resolution and exploration...

    The only negative I have is the semi open world where I didn't feel compelled much to complete side missions...

    This game should not be considered as a god of war.This is a new game with a mediocre and fantasy story that will not keep the old fans very satisfied

    Игра очень хорошая, всё в ней хорошо, но есть одно но в виде одного из дополнительных квестов. Там содержится сюжетный поворот, который к сожалению увидят только те, кто пройдут этот квест. Если бы этот квест был бы в сюжете, то эта игра могла бы быть на первом месте, но разработчики решили такИгра очень хорошая, всё в ней хорошо, но есть одно но в виде одного из дополнительных квестов.

    It is a Must-play game for the ones that are lucky to have a Ps4 or in the future a Ps5.
    This new GoW is settle in the nordic pantheon and as the new gods, Kratos presents a new gamplay style (not a hack'n'slash anymore) more focused on the character and his adventure.

    God of War doesn’t just feel like the next step for the franchise, but for the entire video game industry. Phenomenal visuals, rewarding exploration, and a deep, nuanced combat system contribute to an epic adventure that should be experienced by every human on earth. Santa Monica Studio is taking us all to Valhalla.

    I cannot believe how good this is!!?? I like video games a lot (i've played them for years) but MAN!

Something I strangely wasn't expecting.
    I tried playing this was back on the PS4 but wasn't partiarly invested. So it was refreshing playing that game again in 2020 on the PS5 with a locked 60fps. This did make the experience much more enjoyable.

    It's a great game, but defintely has some gameplay loops that need fixing. One particar enemy would spam attacks in a way where it wasn't challenging or partically balanced. More combo variety and more fluent combat animation would have also been nice. *also a better lock on camera* Overwise this is a really exellent video game that I am geninuely NOW excited to see what cames next within the francishe.    … Expand

    PlayStation game of the generation! I don't give 10/10's lightly, this is my first, but this game has it all and doesn't' disappoint in any area.

    The gameplay is so satisfying. From the combat, which at first may appear quite shallow, is actually deep and never gets tired. I've played through multiple times and am about to embark again on PS5 - it never gets old. The combat is also backed up with great exploration and thoughtful puzzles to balance it out and give a moment of respite. Great pacing.

    The graphics are incredible. We are past the point where pixel counting is important and the sheer artistry and skill on display from the developers is evident in every frame. Big shout out to all the team at Sony Santa Monica for this breath taking experience that can't be forgotten.

    The soundtrack, from Bear McCreary, is meaty and memorable, ramping up to epic when you want it to yet delicate and heartfelt for the (many) moments that deserve it.

    The story, backed up with the wonderful writing and voice acting just ties everything together. There was some noise when Kratos' voice actor was replaced and that Kratos was now a dad changing the character irrevocably. These decisions are entirely vindicated, it is a better game and story for both.

    Christopher Judge nails a more mature Kratos and works so well Sunny Suljic as Atreus. They are admirably backed up with the comedy relief and light hearted banter of Alastair Duncan as Mimir. So many journeys I just waited to in the canoe to hear him finish another gripping tale.

    Pure artistry in every department. Can't wait for Raganarok!    … Expand

    A beautiful world and driving story with top notch gameplay make this larger than life myth come to life. I prefer the artistic style and themes of Naughty Dog, or Rockstar more, but I will definitely play this one again when remastered someday. A must play.

    I was a bit sceptical when I saw that they had completely revamped the combat and now had an escort mission vibe but after borrowing the game, I loved every minute of it. If you loved the previous games you should definitely give this one a chance. There is something here for the new and old fans of the franchise. The story is excellent, combat is good, Graphics are amazing.

    9,1 Es un juegazo imprescindible si tienes una ps4, 20 euros es una ganga, es unos de los videojuegos con mejor apartado técnico de esta generación, jugabilidad muy buena. Lo únicos puntos malos que veo son que se siente que está un poco alargado el juego, las misiones pueden llegar a ser repetitivas y tiene una dificultad poco elevada.

    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]
