    Jogo totalmente reformulado que acabou ganhando o Goty, muito merecido.
    Qualidade muito acima da concorrência beirando a perfeição em tudo no jogo.
    O jogo do ano e um dos melhores da geração.

    Overview:
    Taking a different direction from the Greek Mythology and jumping to Norse; This cinematic journey is a beautiful story told about a Father struggling with his past and trying to teach his son lessons in life. Taking on the role of Kratos, you work on trying to take his wife's ashes to the highest peak to scatter them with his son Atreus. I was a bit leery going into this because I highly enjoyed the original God of War series, mostly due to the greek mythos. The game is a story masterpiece and shines in a time when multiplayer online games flood the market.
    Seeing the characters grow and evolve through their journey. The strained relationship between Father and Son adds intense depth to each character. The equipment part of the game was enjoyable difference from the previous installments.
    The only negative flow of the game would be the repetitive combat. Most of the combat through the game is just the same combos over and over with throwing in special cooldown abilities. Not saying it wasn't challenging because playing on Hard difficulty had a massive gear curve that had me dying and restarting encounters several times.
    Exploration. Hidden Treasures. A Secret Bonus Ending. Hidden Bosses. The game has it all.

    Positives:
    + Kratos and Atreus fighting together
    + Minor skill trees
    + Spartan Rage

    Negatives:
    -Weak overall combat
    -Gear materials can be hard to find    … Expand

    One of the greatest reinventions of a franchise in gaming history. This game has the best direction in a game ive ever seen, the "no cut" camera work was the best decision that director Cory Barlog could have made for the narrative. Game play wise it is another stellar reinvention in the closer 3rd person perspective and much more visceral hard hitting combat.

    The gameplay is fun, and takes a lot of hours before the combat feels like it has nothing new to offer and is repetitive thanks to a large set of unlockable moves and runic powers. You find items and gear with different effects and stats which also can also change your playstyle a little during combat.
    The axe is a great weapon for combat and the developers use a lot of it's potential to create new environmental puzzles.
    Exploration is very rewarding, though some of the items found during exploration are not as good as other items i found while in some quests, which made me not want to use said items found through exploration. Overall rewards found through exploration could be better and give a better reason to explore, besides farming resources to upgrade or buy gear.
    Some of the side quests however seem prety weak, as the player simply as to go to place A,B and C, kill enemies, pick up something and return. Fortunatelly, and unlike other games, there are no repetitive side quests. The are also repetitive bosses.

    The art and environment of the game is phenomenal. Norse mythology provides some of the most beautiful and imaginative worlds seen, from fauna to architecture. However, there are also places that seem a bit stale and contrast with the other beatiful places.

    Graphics are amazing, and if you have a ps4 pro, you can play the game above 30 fps, but dont expect constant 60 fps, as the framerate varies a lot. Character models are very detailed, animations are excellent and to match the extraordinary tone of Norse mythology, a lot of particle effects are used, creating a sense of magic, along with other elements that could only come out of the kingdom of Odin.

    Finally, the story is simple and, at first, does not seem that interesting as the other God of War games: carry the mother's ashes to highest point in the realm. But it's all about the journey of Kratos and his son Atreus, the characters they meet with along the way (all amazing characters in their own way), the hazards and dangers they have to go through and how their relatioship changes as the game progresses.
    Accompanied with a soundtrack that fits each moment of the story and some of the best jaw dropping custscenes with a quality and a sense of enjoyment some movies whish to achieve, you will want pause to take a screenshot or record what is going.

    It is an experience unlike any other, full of tales from gods and magic from norse mythology, amazing scenarious, well directed cutscenes and voice acting, and a journey between a father once consumed by rage and his son, God of War is amazing from start to finnish. I recommend checking the story from the previous games if you haven't played the other games.
    In the end, the only bad things in this game are very small compared to what it gets right!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't a huge fan of god of war series before but this game definitely made me one. I know the game was lacking variety in enemies and bosses but i didn't get disappointed because of that because fighting was so fun and satisfying. You could fight so differently depending how you wanna encounter the fights so i didn't care about the lack of boss fights. I also want to mention boss fights that game has are really well introduced they really get stuck in your mind and it makes you want to watch cutscenes again. I never felt like watching a cutscene more than once before but this game made me feel that thanks to beautiful voice acting, beautiful score and beautiful writing.

    I want to talk about the "open" world as well. These days every game is an open world game and it makes me sick just spending half my gameplay walking around the world doing nothing. However in this god of war the way that open world is made is so good. It is actually not open but feels open and full of content. You get around with your boat and when you dock it you know there is something for sure. Also when you get around its not just your character saying just a line once in a row to try and make you not bored of wandering around. The game gives you information about the lore more like the mythology and it's given you with a conversation so it doesn't feel like an audio book of norse mythology.

    Story is also another good part of the game the story telling, unexpected plots are really good especially character development is the best i have seen so far.

    The best word to describe this game is "grandeur." It takes the phrase "go big or go home" to heart.

Not in just the combat but in the environment as well which is arguably the most stunning feature of this game. I can confidently say that I've never experienced a game with as much lore connected with its environment. There are grandiose statues everywhere which all have stories to tell and reasons why they are there. Even some of the creatures have an enormous sense of scale. It felt like I was really immersed in the world of Norse mythology.

    The characters are all unique and enthralling. Even just standing around or riding in my boat had me engaged in the conversations that everyone was having. This, mixed with the environment, made the story immersive. Don't go into this expected an oscar-worthy script but, nevertheless, it delivers on the feeling and emotion behind the father-son relationship.

    While the battles and cinematography felt amazing, there were some animations that soon became stale. Specifically, the execution animations, and especially for trolls. I really wish they could've come up with a few more execution animations to keep things interesting. Additionally, I delved into the harder difficulty (not the "give me god of war" difficulty) and was sadly greeted with the classic sponge mechanic. The game is harder just because the enemies have more health. You don't feel nearly as lethal as on the "balanced" difficulty. If they had left enemy health untouched but made their damage more lethal, then I think the hard difficulty would've been more engaging.

    Aside from this, I thoroughly enjoyed this game and believe it to be the defining game of the PS4. It will stand as an example for all semi-linear story games to come.    … Expand

So I know bits and pieces of the series' lore, but this review is mostly coming from a new GoW player.

    Graphics/Editing: 10/10
    Filled with beautiful vistas and exotic effects throughout, this game truly exceeded my expectations. The single-take transitions between cut scenes and gameplay is an excellent element that was excecuted flawlessly. There are a few scenes that with the right sound system and TV setup, will leave your house shaking and your mouth agape. The first boss battle alone is some of the best editing I've seen in a video game.

    Narrative: 9/10
    There's an emotional and effective story being told here. Yes, the "escort-your-companion-to-XYZ" style gameplay is very popular today, and some will even say it's overused. But I think it works really well here. The characters are driven toward their goal within good reasoning, and I think the ending pays off what we're building towards well enough. And there are certainly some emotional elements incorporated that will hit you right in the feels.

    Protagonists: 10/10
    Kratos is one bad m*****f*****! The dynamic between him and Atreus certainly captured my interest early on. Sometimes their banter may get a little repetitive, but I think it drives a certain point that eventually pays off in the end. The canoe conversations are a real treat too.

    Characters/Interactions: 10/10
    There are some really great supporting characters in this game that provide some real emotional swells. There's some great comedic relief amidst some of the side quests, along with some real tear-jerker moments more centered towards the main plot. I don't think any important character was wasted, which can be such an easy mistake when making (kind of) an open world game.

    Villain(s): 9/10
    The main villain in the game has an electric presence in every single scene and/or battle. The performance is truly an A+. A lot of the game's most shocking moments come from encounters with him (i'll mention that awesome first battle scene again here).

    Gameplay: 10/10
    This is where I've noticed I disagree with a lot of people. After spending a few minutes reading reviews, I see the gameplay and combat getting a lot of negative comments. I would have to disagree. I thought that the combat in this game was among the best I had ever seen. It's fluid, it's versatile, and it's just god damn satisfying. I was impressed with the variety of different moves you could unlock, and as you improve it only gets better and better. I never once thought, "Man this combat is super repetitive and boring" like a lot of the comments I've been reading. But maybe that's just me.

    All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed God of War from start to finish. If I had one gripe about it, I'd say that the "open world" set up is kind of clunky. After finishing the main storyline, I tried to explore a bit to finish some of the side quests and collectibles, but lost interest pretty quickly.

    Sem dúvidas um dos melhores jogos já produzidos, um excelente trabalho que fizeram e fez eu jogar por semanas, repeti a jogatina umas quatro vezes, fazendo tudo do jogo e aumentando a dificuldade, eu tenho um carinho eterno por essa franquia e esse ''God of War (2018)'' só deixará marcado como o melhor dela para sempre.

    A solid game, definitely worth experiencing. Solid mechanics great father son adventure. Disregard the OG fans hating on this game. The devs SAID IT WAS IN THE ADVERTISING a reboot of the franchise. Its also won its years GOTY. I'd say take the chance and play it and its a great way if you're a dad or mom to seem like a super parent XD. LOL

    God of war. It’s a great game with a massive protagonist; a big Sony's exclusive; so much money spent on advertising and a lot of disappointed fans. Let’s talk about it, but first of all, I want to say something about my experience.
    I finished the game a long time ago and my memory isn’t fresh. Anyway, I have something to say. It was one of the first PlayStation 4 games I’ve played and    God of war. It’s a great game with a massive protagonist; a big Sony's exclusive; so much money spent on advertising and a lot of disappointed fans. Let’s talk about it, but first of all, I want to say something about my experience.
    I finished the game a long time ago and my memory isn’t fresh. Anyway, I have something to say. It was one of the first PlayStation 4 games I’ve played and I’d played some older part of the franchise. If my memory serves, I’d been playing God of War 2 on PS2 and without a doubt it was gorgeous. That is why I’m somewhat a fan of this franchise.
    Let’s go into the specifics of this game.
    Well, detailed graphics is one of the pros of the new game. Everything in the game’s vast and advanced world, including the buildings, the tools, the ground, the sky, even the characters’ skin is highly detailed. Admittedly, it’s not an open world, and I think it’s for the better because the developers were able to show an interesting mythical Nordic place without an open world. However, you could travel through that any time, so the action is not limited to closed spaces.
    The new axe mechanics are impressive. They provided us with new ways of killing enemies in combat - you can throw an axe and destroy anyone from a distance, or smash skulls of the enemies at hand with one hit. The Leviathan Axe, furthermore, helps to open new places, solve puzzles, etc. I realize that the developers worked hard to create them. There is a tree of new skills for your axe, shield and other gear. So, you gain experience and spend it on improving the power of Kratos and his son. Afterwards, you have a mighty team to kill anybody in a brutal nice-looking way with your axe, shield and bow.
    The game’s beautiful music helps tough Kratos to look more brutal. The Music and the sound design in the game create a deep and atmospheric. They submerge you into the Scandinavian entertainment.
    In addition to skills, Kratos and his son Atreus have various equipment that you can enhance. Also, you can find some new armour, spend coins on new gear and improve the one you already have.
    But it doesn’t help that much. The armour and equipment at the beginning of the game and the end are the same, except for the enhanced parameters, and they’re useless against simple enemies and even the bosses. It’s not like in the third Witcher where you get the best armour or a sword that makes the character a mighty machine. There you understand that you didn’t waste your time to gain the coins to improve your rags. But in the God of War, the equipment is simply stylistic.
    The similar situation with the enemies. Neither do they look different during the game. They just change the colour and aura. They even look similar in different worlds. I agree that there are a few different worlds where you travel through portals. The environment there doesn’t look similar, except for the rival creatures and bosses.
    Oh yeah, the bosses. I think the bosses are one of the biggest cons of the game. In previous games of this franchise, Kratos cut off the heads of the Olympic Gods. Every level ended with a fight with a new boss. It doesn’t matter who it was. It looked exciting and brutal, what you can’t say about the bosses of the new game. There is only one god whom you can’t kill during the game, who you fight against two or three times. Also, one kind of bosses is trolls; and they are everywhere, just coloured differently and that’s all. It’s a pity that you can’t see a variety of enemies in this big Sony’s exclusive and in the sequel of such a famous game.
    A similar creature is not the only sin of this game. The plot is based on travelling. Similar, concepts you could see in The Last of Us, where Ellie and Joel have a trip with some goal. And Kratos with his son has to travel for a reason. Don’t you see the similarity? Yes, in my opinion, the authors copied the basics of the game and didn’t cover their tracks. With sadness, I admit that the copy is worse than the original. Because even formation of the relationship between the father and the son is insincere, unrealistic. You can’t believe in the play of the boy. But don’t focus on it; it’s not the best plot and not the best game in the world. However, you will remember the brilliant phrase: «Feed us, Boy! » for a long time. When you begin playing the game, you will understand why I mentioned it.
    Eventually, the Santa Monica Studio made a great work, but I know they can do better. I hope they’ll make a better sequel with more variety of enemies, and the plot won’t be boring I give 8 points to the game. And I wish Sony didn’t spend so much money on advertising. It would better if they used it to increase the quality of their games.    … Expand

    How does a franchise reinvents itself and still brings so much content and good quality to the table at the same time? I don't really know, but the developers of God of War sure do, because they made a masterpiece in form of a game. The God of War trilogy was very great, but this fourth main installment just knocks it out of the park. A brilliant game

    Picked this up recently at a PSN sale and I regret not buying it sooner. This game did the impossible and brought what I thought was somewhat stale Hack and slash franchise that I thought was dead or atleast very outdated and revamped it into a masterpiece The graphics look gorgeous and the combat is satisfying and has a real sense of impact that I think the last games were lacking.

    Which is probably due too the camera being above Kratoses shoulder which brings you closer too the action. But the main thing that impressed me is how they revamped our beloved kratos and made him into a character that has more emotion than before, I’m not saying that he didn’t have any emotion or depth in the previous games but it’s more maturely done in this game. The story is good and well written. But the one thing I wish they had was more enemy diversity, because often enemies you fight are just the exact same thing or atleast a variation or sub-class of a previous enemy. You often find yourself fighting the same enemy types. Which isn’t bad due too combat being so damb good.
    Very very late review all things considered but, I thought maybe this could help anybody who was thinking of picking up this masterpiece at a later date or during a sale. Definitely worth a buy    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is just incredible. Undoubtedly the best in the franchise and the best game I played in my life ... I can't wait for a sequel. Perhaps with Thor or Freya as the main boss. Being able to see all the power of ps5 in action ... And once again playing a masterpiece ... They took the chance to change the franchise, but they got it right. I already played in 2018 on the day it came out and I regret that at the time I didn't buy the collector's edition. This game deserves that and more. No doubt he deserved the game of the year and for me he deserved the best game award of the last decade in place of The Last of Us, but to be second is already a big victory. Never a game until 2018 had left me that way, having impacted me so much. To date there have been a few more, and most have been from Sony. The game is extraordinary and deserved all the prizes it won and even deserved more ... /
    O jogo é simplesmente incrível. Sem dúvida o melhor da franquia e o melhor jogo que joguei na minha vida... Mal posso esperar por uma continuação. Talvez com Thor ou Freya como boss principal. Poder ver todo o poder da ps5 em ação... E mais uma vez jogar uma obra prima ... Eles arriscaram em mudar a a franquia, mas acertaram muito bem. Já joguei em 2018 logo no dia que saiu e arrependo me de na época não ter comprado a edição colecionador. Esse jogo merece isso e muito mais. Sem dúvida mereceu o jogo do ano e para mim merecia o prêmio de melhor jogo da última década no lugar de The Last of Us, mas ter ficado em segundo já é uma grande vitória. Nunca um jogo até 2018 me tinha deixado daquela forma, me ter impactado tanto. Até hoje já foram mais alguns, e a maioria foi da Sony. O jogo é extraordinário e mereceu todos os prêmios que ganhou e até merecia mais...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me preface this review with a bit of information. I cannot stand the first three god of war titles. I absolutely without a shadow of a doubt HATED them. To be fair I was never a fan of the greek mythos, but it just seemed like and edgy boi being and edgy boi. I understood the premise in the first game, which is why I played it. My interest was nearly zero after it, it's ending seemed to completely conclude itself and story. Then suprise! GOW 2, this time it's personal.

    sigh. ok i'll play it. Didn't really need this, kinda **** on the ending of gow but whatever, nothing really special here, more of the same. Don't really enjoy it. Friends are hyping it, everywhere is hyping it. Not hyped. Angry boi is angry.

    GOW 3 This time it's 3 more times as personal than the last two times.

    Oooooh boy. well it looked better, and they did add a few new things, gutting enemies was pretty neat. Really enjoyed pounding zeus face in. The ending was cringe as **** "Hope was inside pandoras box" oh my ****ing god please just stop now. Then Cringetos commits unalive but suprise he isn't unalived.

    or is he? or... isnt he? dun dun duuuuuun.

    Terrible. would not play again.

    See that new GOW is on the horizon, uh oh. see Cringtos is older noticeably. hmm. see that there is a little kid who undoubtedly is blessed with LITTLE KID POWER (henceforth referred to as lkp) ugh. See that it is set in norse mythos. DON"T YOU ****ING DARE. DON'T YOU MESS UP THE GREATEST MYTHOS IN THE WORLD (subjective and opinion based i know) this is how i felt. Extremely worried.

    I bought it. I love norse mythos, but i was also deeply afraid of what they would do to it. I avoided ALL GAMEPLAY before buying it. Avoided any leaks. I wanted my own opinion surprised this one time. (rare for me)

    I beat the game. I did it all. I fought ALL the Valkyries WAAAAAAY under-leveled. I mean i was rocking crap gear, hardly any health, i should not have done what i did when i did it. I fought Gondul when i was rocking at lvl 5 (its more of a gear rating if i think about it) point is, i did not have a lot of anything. Each loss made me better, and boy, she ****ed me up a lot. But every battle less and less, until i had her down, i beat her as she beat me. Like a little **** It was beyond satisfying.

    Let me stop here for a moment and let me say this, Cringtos is no more, now he is Kratos, he has also put away the edgelord blades of professor chaos in favor of wielding something mythos appropriate and bad ass, the leviathan axe. I love it. I cannot express how awesome it truly is. wanna go hand to hand, can do, wanna use leviathan axe, can do, wanna shield bash an enemies teeth out the back of their skull? can do. wanna use the cringe blades of cringe... ok...(you have to for certain things, i avoided using them on anything other than puzzle specific blocks, yup, i killed the dead Frost hel denizens with my fists over those ****ing cringe blades, i hate them so much)

    lets talk a bit about graphics. MWUAH, love em

    lets talk about control, MWUAH love it

    Lets talk about the world, it's more open than any of the games before it, and that does it a huge favor in my opinion, there are side missions/quests put about that you dont have to do, but are definitely worth doing, you can chase them at your pace. you don't have to fight the Valkyrie, but if you do, oh boy is is rewarding and worth it. test your mettle, do it.

    gameplay links to control, i was satisfied with it, i only didn't enjoy the forced use of the cringe of cringe, that was disappointing to me.

    Story. Kratos is now Kratos and not Cringtos lord of the edge. He done a big oof and grown up. Matured. Found a wife and sired a son. One whom he has a fragile, delicate, distant relationship with. One whom he seems terrified to get too close too, but set on ensuring will know how to live, survive and one day, become a man. The love is there, the emotions that are a mixture swirl within him, yet he keeps them at bay, fear of who he once was creating this large block. Kratos is a god, a god from another place. Here in this foreign land where he has sought a new beginning his powers weakened to a degree.

    The depth, maturity and growth of Kratos instantaneously caused a 180 for me on my opinion of GOW, i experienced his angst, his anger, his rage There was sorrow there too, but it was overcome with the previous emotions that there was truly no appreciation in it. not like this. i never got to see kratos try to be anything more than the monsters he was chasing and killing. Now we inject humanity and wisdom that comes with age and experience. Humbling and so ****ing satisfying.

    there may be a sequel in the works, i wont spoil any key elements here suffice to say that this story did well, beyond well. This superseded my expectations in every way. I hope the sequel does not **** up and continues with this amazing new path.    … Expand

    Como uma sequência deve ser, simplesmente incrível, GOTY merecidíssimo, com certeza o GOW 5 irá ser espetacular.

    As a fan of god of war series I was skeptical about rethinking the game. I like cruelty, gore and violence in the series. it's like a breath of fresh air after a hard day.

    Soo I tried a new god of war. New graphics, new story about father and son. This game is beautiful and you like this game. Only because you didn't liked gameplay or gore of gow 1-3 and psp parts. good side of game:    As a fan of god of war series I was skeptical about rethinking the game.

    good side of game:
    -graphics
    ps4 made it beautiful
    -story

    bad side of game:
    -camera
    i don't wanna see back of Kratos, i wanna see fight place like in previous GoW games
    -gameplay
    GoW was slasher, so now, it's souls game, therefore we play not as God of War, we play as grandma with slow reaction
    -story
    game about weakness of people, that's not a gods. Usually the gods are harsh and unyielding, they do not change their minds, do not worry, and are always determined in their actions.

    My opinion: this game for family play, there is no brutal Kratos, there is story about father and son. There is story about their relationships.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me parece el mejor juego de la generación, y posiblemente mí juego favorito, es MUY entretenida la mecánica de combate que es muy completa a comparación de otras de juegos distintos que son aburridas y repetitivas, no hay tantas peleas de jefes en la historia principal, pero los que hay son muy entretenidos. La historia es inmersiva, entretenida, hermosa, la más larga de la saga god of war, que hace honor a su nombre. Volvemos a ver a kratos, ,una máquina de matar griega, que ahora es más maduro y más amable, en este juego vemos a kratos con un lado más humano, obvio sin dejar de ser serio, es más comprensible y tiene experiencia en las cosas, esto hace que su hijo Atreus no cumpla sus errores. El único punto malo de este juego es el reducido mundo abierto que tiene el juego, hay mapas distintos, SI, pero eso no justifica las cosas que se pueden hacer en este mundo, los reinos con los mapas más "grandes" son midgard (el mapa principal) y alfheim,. Luego de esos mapas viene helheim, que es más reducido, y muspelheim y nilfheim (los opcionales fuera de la historia). En los mapas hay cosas que hacer, como abrir cofres, entrar q cámaras ocultas, que tienen puzzles muy divertidos, también tiene las fabulosas misiones secundarias, que lamentablemente no son tantas. Luego de eso el mapa no es gran cosa. Es un juego muy complicado, tanto en combate como en puzzles, pero si te lo propones, te lo pasarás luego de un rato y será muy satisfactorio para ustedes. Tiene muy buenos gráficos, una jugabilidad completamente diferente a la de los anteriores juegos, que es muy entretenida al estilo RPG. Una banda sonora INCREIBLE que hace llorar a mas de uno de epicidad y emocion. Un juego excelente, muy recomendado por solo $20.

    Now this is how you reinvent your franchise. Its better in every single aspect than its predecessors, from story and writing to combat and exploration. Game world is beautiful and a joy to explore with a simple yet effective hook that provides you with more without feeling overwhelming. Combat is tense and focused, more exciting than hack and slash spectacle of its older brothers. KratosNow this is how you reinvent your franchise.

    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.
