    Una obra maestra de esta generación, el ejemplo perfecto de como los videojuegos pueden trascender barreras del entretenimiento y estar a la par a una obra cinematográfica. Esto es lo mejor que le pudo haber pasado a la franquicia.

    God of War was definitely a let down for me, I expected a stellar 10/10 action game, and I got a mixed experience.

The base combat is great too and feels solid, unfortunately this combat often gets sullied by the incessant hoards of repetitive enemies that they throw at you every 2 minutes, it get's exhausting and tiring near the end of the game where there is a massive difficulty spike. Boss fights range from cool and fun to painful, as some of them take way too long to beat, and get's excruciatingly annoying near the end of the game. Instead of making cool, harder bosses, this game opts for the easier, "throw 2 bosses at once" type of route. This is completely artificial difficulty and what made this game miserable to play near the end. The puzzles range from simple to annoying, and was way too many over the course of this "action" game. As for the story, there is none..... Just an over arcing reason to go to Jotunheim. Overall, this game is not a 10/10, and people that are telling you that are lying to you. This game has it's moments, and sometimes can be fun, especially from the start to the late middle of the game. However, this game became repetitive and annoying once the difficulty spike occurred. I'd say 6/10 considering the excellent graphics and presentation, and game play from the begging to the late middle of the game, however, the end game ruined all that momentum with artificial difficulty and it's repetitive nature.… Expand

    STORY -

    The story is great and reinvigorates the franchise with a new pantheon of gods while retaining elements of what made the original series great by showing us glimpses of Kratos' past. A "soft" reboot like this has rarely been done in other mediums before. Just listening to the characters discuss the lore makes you want to go read Norse Mythology. The voice acting and motion capture are probably the best of this generation in story based games (only second to the Last of Us Part II). The soundtrack is phenomenal too, and it's epic in a more adventurous way compared to the dreadfully epic soundtrack of the old games.

    GAMEPLAY and Graphics -

    The gameplay is also reinvigorated. An over the shoulder camera makes it jarring for long time fans of the franchise, but there are many thing in the game that ease the user into it. Movesets and enemy types are varied although there are quite a few reskinned mini bosses, but there are several standout boss fights that are fun and replayable. The combat is also very smooth and polished, but it's not as easy to do complex chains of moves as it is in the previous games. You need to play the game and really know how the weapons, skills, and special abilities work in order to craft the familiar long combos. This isn't a criticism but more of a thing worth noting.

    As far as hitboxes and smoothness of animations goes, the game is very polished. I personally had zero issues in over 100 hours of gameplay, and I used my day 1 base Ps4, not even a ps4 pro. The game still looks beautiful on just a 1080p output, and frame-rate rarely drops significantly (there is one "challenge" stage where this occurs in just one occassion on my 100% playthrough).

    Open world/ RPG elements -

    The game is semi-linear in that you can explore the world instead of doing just the main story, and the side content (while not being expansive) is fun and refined, and the character dialogue and exposition fits neatly into the greater narrative and gives you information you really want to know before you play the sequel to this game. This is a much fresher experience compared to typical bloated low quality side content in generic open world games.

    There is only one set of collectibles in the game that have no real significance, but there are only 50 of them, and they're not hard to get, so that's the only "annoying" thing to deal with if you wish to 100% the game. You can also customize your gear, and story and side content being increasingly hard makes this necessary, and progression feels more natural although it's not a full on RPG like Witcher 3 in terms of the depth of customization.

    OVERALL-

    This game doesn't do anything to a massively outstanding degree. There are moments in the story that are a bit unevenly paced, and there is an entire class of reskinned mini bosses, but the sum of all the parts that are masterfully crafted make this a cinematic, polished, experience that is as close to perfect that PS4 games have gotten this generation.    … Expand

    The combat system is totally different. It is now a dark souls is clone with the combat from behind.

    The graphics, environments, and some of the boss fights are amazing, but it unfortunately gets brought down by sub-par combat mechanics, and a story that is basically just "get from point A to point B", with some unnecessary plot complications to make the game longer than just 4-5 hours.

    I was super afraid when I first saw the game but after playing it I realized this was what the franchise needed, the most perfect reboot in video game history. Patiently waiting for the next one.

    Decir primero que para mí God of War 2 de PS2 es el unico juego de Metacritic que tiene un 10, y pensaba darle un 8 por no ser ese hack and slash frenético de dar ostias a diestro y siniesto. Pero al final sí, le voy a dar un 9 a este reboot... no es lo que quería, pero es tannn bueno, y está tan bien hecho... gráficamente muy muy bueno, jugabilidad deliciosa y con gran inmersión... un 9Decir primero que para mí God of War 2 de PS2 es el unico juego de Metacritic que tiene un 10, y pensaba darle un 8 por no ser ese hack and slash frenético de dar ostias a diestro y siniesto.

    Amazing game with fantastic gameplay and a well told story. Easily in the running for one of the best games during the PS4 generation.

    Never played any God of War game but even you did you will still be surprised. Everyone is. Game shows us that you can create and put everything in your game.

Everyone is. Game shows us that you can create and put everything in your game. Great stunning gameplay that never gets old and it is fun as hell. The bossfights are more than great and with harder dificulty those called Valkyries are incredible experience especially with the last one which I recommend playing on the hardest dificulty if you are good at games because it is going to be worth it when you will finnaly put her down. I have never thought the world of northern mytology could be interpreted good but this game proves me otherwise. I was stunned by the graphics at every corner I have encountered. The collectibles are finally fun to collect. Instead of making hundred side stories they created only few but they are fun and they actually make sense. Main story will always want you to push further and you will because you are always curious what is going to happen next. Game is also a new cinematic experience made possible with camera that will never ever change because it is one take through out the game. Dunno if I have not said all but that does not change the fact that this game is practicly perfect and that I have not ever felt so great doing platinum trophy on ps4. 10/10 without a doubt.… Expand

    Great story and challenging gameplay. Loved Mimir’s story’s. The only draw back would be the side missions. I wish they were more prominent and had more incentives to do them. Other then that a perfect game!

    Excelente historia, gráficos espectaculares, historia corta y sin endgame pero es una aventura completa, no hay problema alguno si no has jugado ninguno dios de la guerra con anterioridad la historia se nutre por si sola, con una que otra referencia pero nada que no puedas disfrutar especialmente si tienes interés con la historia nórdica.

    Phenomenal game. Although, I feel like I have to warn you of one thing. If you are expecting this to be like the original God of War games, you will not get anything like that. Instead, you will get a heartfelt story about the journey of a father and his son. It's a beautifully crafted masterpiece which is definitely my favorite game on the PS4.

    Best game. Narrative is good
    Combat for me is amazing. Also love the stories that are told in the game. The first boss fight is one of the best boss fight scenes i have played in a game

    The perfect mix of gameplay and story. The combat system is fantastic. It is fun and intuitive but hard to master (as the secret boss proves).

    I also love the way the camera is handled, with the whole game being a single "take". The game is all in all a technical masterpiece.

    Se nota mucho la diferencia de gameplay con los anteriores y para mí es un acierto, me gustó mucho más las batallas de este juego. La historia es buenísima y hace que cualquiera quiera aprender por su cuenta algo más de la mitología nórdica, que es muy interesante. Juego casi de 10, vamos.

    El juego se aleja de la teatralidad en el gameplay de versiones anteriores para centrarse más en "realismo". La historia es fascinante y engancha aunque me hubiera gustado ver algún flashback de Kratos con su mujer teniendo una vida normal.

    No puedo ni imaginarme lo que tendrán preparado para la siguiente entrega en la PS5.

    One of the best games ever made. The main story is gripping and doesn't get boring. The characters are very witty and they don't bore you. Conversation's with Mimir are amazing and so witty. Gorgeous graphics are an added bonus.

    Hands down one of the best God of War in the series. From an intriguing storyline to jaw dropping set pieces and perfect combat controls, this reboot is a perfect example of how a reboot should be done.

    Without a doubt, the best GOW game out there. It’s really rare to find a game that’s an awesome gameplay and an even fantastic story. The guys at Santa Monica did a wonderful job and I just hope they continue delivering great experiences for the fans. Thanks for respecting us as fans yet fulfilling your goals as a team.

    I personally wasn't very interested in this game, until I saw the reviews and a friend of mine recommended it to me, so I decided to give it a shot and it has been one of the best desitions I have ever made.

I am not the guy that sits and plays through an entire play without playing something else: God of war changed this and became the first game I just couldn't stop playing, and that is because the characters, the lore, and the respect to Norse mythology is so good. The ending is so satisfying and can't wait to see what happens next. Anyone asking if you should buy this game, just buy it and experience it for yourself… Expand

    At the begining of the game I was worried about handling bosses. But by the end of the game I really wished there were more bosses to fight.

    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.
