    This masterpiece had only one problem and that was side-quests which should be deleted or be done while playing the main story because after finishing the story your not gonna go and finish those side-quests.

    Notes: RPG and open-world/linear level blend was both seamless and impressive, This game could only be improved upon by allowing the players skill to assist in killing higher-level enemies instead of a classic leveling system that locks you into fighting certain enemy levels exclusively until you level Kratos up a little bit. I would also welcome a few more boss fights towards the middle and end of the narrative. Literally, every other aspect of the game was 10 out of 10 so that's the score it gets. Thank you for making a game worth my time and my money. This is now in my top 10 games of all time list.

The fluid and in depth combat which almost never feels repetitive, and the engaging narrative filled with twists and turns, emotional moments, and crazy over the top action. This game is a true Masterpiece.

I can tell you about the insanely beautiful world of vikings, how the lore is accurate but with some twist (obviously since well….Kratos) and how the story just grows on you with it’s twist and turns, you just want to keep on playing until you figure it all out. It’s been a long time since I had this feeling with a game,What can you say when you have just played the best game of the year? I can tell you about the insanely beautiful world of vikings, how the lore is accurate but with some twist (obviously since well….Kratos) and how the story just grows on you with it’s twist and turns, you just want to keep on playing until you figure it all out. It’s been a long time since I had this feeling with a game, a game that I can not stop playing and get the urge to calling in sick at work just to play a fantastic game. I played God of War for two weeks intensely, got the platinum for it and loved every single minute of doing so. I dreamed of it when I was asleep, thought about it when at work and when I played it I didn’t want it to end.

    The journey of Kratos and Atreus is one you do not want to miss out on, the game alone is worth getting a Playstation 4 for. Two things I need to point out that I was afraid would take a hit for the worse on this game compared to the rest of the series and that’s the voice acting and ability to jump. Initially I did miss being able to jump but it doesn’t take long until you get familiar with how this new God of War gameplay is, which is in all honestly still very action packed with a lot of combos, just not as many tricks and depth to it as before but I still think they did a good job as I was very negative to that fact before I started playing the game. Then the voice acting, wow just wow. The new Kratos is way better than the old one, and I thought he was good too! Mimir, Atreus and all the others got a spot on casting too and it makes the whole game have a complete package, great voice acting adds oh so much to a game. Just listening to Mimir and Atreus storytelling when being on the boat brought me great joy for example, I can’t remember last time I could just enjoy looking around in a game taking in the environment and listening to characters talk.

    So what are you waiting for? If you got a Playstation 4 there is no reason you shouldn’t be all over this game by now. If you don’t have a Playstation 4 I suggest you get one now and play this game!

    Pros
    It’s so damn beautiful!
    The lore and story is superb.

    Cons
    At times I do miss being able to jump.
    I would like more NPC’s.

    Una gran historia contada de una manera maravillosa. Los personajes son de lo mejor que halla visto.

    Un semi-mundo abierto que recorrer, grindear para subir de nivel, aumentar tus estadísticas y aprender mas sobre el mundo que te rodea.

    El mejor SoundTrack de la saga, te hace sentir como si en realidad estuvieras en la época Nórdica.

    This is what gaming is all about. Utterly stunning in every aspect. Gameplay, voice acting, setting, art and visuals, music. It's all there. If you gave this a negative review, there's 10,000 people who think you're wrong. This is one of my all time faves.

    At first, I thought that it would be boring because of the father-son story. But the norse mythology background gives it an epic touch. Combat is fun. The plot is good. And there are plenty of things to do.
    Definitely worth your money and time.

    Phenomenal fighting mechanics and its never feels like you are just mashing buttons. The story is also heart warming and will keep you connected throughout.

    Hands down one of the greatest games of all time. Graphically it's the best looking game on anything. Combat, story, game play mechanics, the story within the story. Everything about this game is why it won GOTY!

    I haven't head so much fun playing any game in a long, long time.

    Do you know the feeling, when you finish an awesome book or TV series and you just feel like a breakup? Like you just lost something and won't get it back ever again. That's the feeling I got when I completed God of War. Never knew it's even possible in a game. Also, I bought the game for 50% the price in a winter

    Also, I bought the game for 50% the price in a winter sale. Right now I feel like I ripped off the developer, which should just send me the account number so I can give them the other half.

    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.
