    Nunca fui un jugador de God of War. Los juegos anteriores, por alguna razón, me llamaron la atención pero nunca los compre y nuncal los jugue. Por suerte, cuando salió esta version de God of War no hice lo mismo, porque de lo contrario me hubiera perdido de esta obra de arte.

    God of War es una de las razones por las que amo los video juegos. No muchos juegos me hacen decir esto, porque    Nunca fui un jugador de God of War. Los juegos anteriores, por alguna razón, me llamaron la atención pero nunca los compre y nuncal los jugue. Por suerte, cuando salió esta version de God of War no hice lo mismo, porque de lo contrario me hubiera perdido de esta obra de arte.

    God of War es una de las razones por las que amo los video juegos. No muchos juegos me hacen decir esto, porque no muchos juegos hoy en día son obras maestras. De vez en cuando, uno se encuentra con esa banda, esa película, ese show que cambian a uno. God of War fue ese tipo de juego para mi.

    Visualmente es un espectáculo, los controles y mecánicas son impecables, la ejecución cinematográfica es increíble, la dirección de arte es envidiable, la música (sobre todo el tema de Kratos) es memorable... todo es perfecto. Pero lo hermoso de este juego es que todo eso no distrae del corazón del juego: su historia.

    En tiempos en el que los juegos tratan de tener todo (mundo abierto, rpg, historia, batallas, acertijos, multiplayer, co-op, etc.) Este juego se limita, y eso es excelente. Como juego es perfecto por todo lo que tiene, pero también por todo lo que no tiene.

    Gracias, Santa Monica Studios y Cory Barlog, por esta maravilla del medio. En mi canal de Youtube (efcos plays) voy a subir mi "Wall of Fame" y este juego va porque va. Gracias.    … Expand

It showed the whole gaming industry that the key to success is making something with passion and heart put into it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The new God of War game (2018) is almost perfect. Tons of work went into making it, and it really shows. The combat is extremely fun. The player has the tools to play in different ways, and all of them are strong and satisfying. The story flows really well. It felt personal and wholesome. Of course, the graphics and the music are outstanding. There are only a couple very minor complaints that I have. SPOILER ALERT: All of the enemies were awesome, but Queen Valkyrie and the enraged werewolves were unfair on the hardest difficulty. Also, one of the puzzles was more like a chore. IT'S STILL GREAT, THOUGH! I highly recommend God of War (2018).… Expand

All aspects of the game are superb and the minor flaws barley detract from the experience at all. From a technical standpoint the game is incredible. Graphically it is one of the best. The atmosphere, looming fogs in the distance, snow covered mountain peaks, great mystical realms and scope are all here to make one of the best looking games of all time. The sound effects are pitch perfect and the voice acting is amazing. The music is also a big part of the experience and its one of the best in gaming. The universe and world expands to you as you go further and further into the game uncovering the secrets and mysteries of the realms. Kratos and Atreus have a perfect bond and relationship that elevates the story. Kratos constantly scolding his son to form him into something better and Atreus just wanting a father that approves of him. The villain is charismatic and intimidating with clear motives. The story is focused and paced perfectly filled with a great cast, and best of all the scope and magnitude of the bombastic battles is unmatched. The combat feels fantastic weight to it. Parrying, dodging, light and heavy attacks are all pitch perfect. Runic attacks add more depth and ways to take out your enemies. Upgrading Kratos' abilities and improving his gear feels personalized and all the role playing elements are great. Rage mode and executions add the gore and brutal violence the series is known for. Creating different builds and discovering new ways to take on the creative and diverse enemies and bosses is rewarding. The boss fights are amazing and have great thrilling moments. Exploring the world and side quests is fun and they offer great rewards adding to the replay value. The environmental puzzles and runic chests require some brain power and are quite fun. There are some minor inconveniences with the annoying fast travel and some repetitive enemies but they are so small it is barley noticeable. I don't want to seem like a fan boy but i have never played a God of War game and seeing this change up the formula made me want to try it. I have few bad to say and so much to gush for hours about. Do yourself a favor and get this game.… 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.
