    This game was THE best game i have played in a LONG time. NO micro transactions and no monotization of this game. just plays as your suppose to play it. it was so good i had to get all the trophies and i rarely do that. i wish all other publishers would follow in this games footsteps and release games that are complete and not cut up to sell as future DLC crap.

    Clearly 10/10 - God of War is one of the best PS4 exclusive games of all time. I had a lot of fun with God of War and it is also one of my favorite games. It's a masterpiece!

    Clearly 10/10 - God of War is one of the best PS4 exclusive games of all time. I had a lot of fun with God of War and it is also one of my favorite games. It's a masterpiece!
    All in all, there's not much to say about God of War. It's perfect. Nevertheless, I would like to go into some more detail!

    Story: The story is wonderful. You get into the action very quickly. The story also starts very exciting and is also very exciting throughout the game. It's very sweet how the relationship between Kratos and his son Atreus develops over the course of the story. Because of this great story alone I can recommend God of War to everyone (even non-God of War fans)! By the way, I would also like to mention that the beard on Kratos looks very good!
    What definitely deserves a mention are the cutscenes. There has rarely been a game where the cutscenes looked so good. The cutscenes in God of War are qualitatively on a completely different level.

    Gameplay: The hack and slay gameplay in God of War has been implemented outstandingly well. Dodging and attacking feels really smooth. The gameplay isn't stagnant or anything at all. With Atreus you have a little help in God of War. Atreus can shoot different kinds of arrows, which is especially useful in many boss battles. Atreus was never disturbing. You can also buy new equipment for both characters (Kratos and Atreus) in God of War. But you don't have to grind much, because the end boss is also possible with weaker armor. So God of War isn't just a grind, like you know it from some role-playing games.

    Conclusion: I can really recommend God of War to anyone. Anyone who owns a PS4 should have played God of War. God of War is a true masterpiece and definitely one of the best Sony Exclusive games!

    God of War is one of the few great AAA games that have come out these past years. Sony has made another quality game that should prove that single-player games are not dead.

The characters are very interesting and the voice acting is spectacular. Throughout the game, you will fight many enemies, and thankfully the combat is spectacular. Its intense, fast-paced, challenging, and overall a ton of fun. There are a lot of good boss fights and breathtaking scenes. The only complaints I have are that there is not enough dialogue between Kratos and his son during the downtime, and there aren’t as many creative bosses as I would have liked. And to top it off, the graphics in this game are absolutely breathtaking. Expand

    Corey Barlog had one hell of a weight on his shoulders.. In one hand he held the fate and reputation of one of the greatest games and stories ever created for the console generation.

    In the other hand he held his career, if he had failed the guy would've lost everything.

    But what he made far surpasses even the previous God of war games, this is really an incredible game and story

    Otro de esos juegos que no puede faltar en nuestra lista de favoritos, una resurrección de un "anti-héroe" como es llamado, de alta calidad, obviamente hablamos de Kratos.

    God of War es un juego simplemente perfecto o casi perfecto, lo principal, su historia, como es contada y su desenlace es exquisito, los personajes con los que te encuentras, perfectamente sacados de la mitología nórdica y correctamente diseñados hacen que el juego sea maravilloso para lo amantes de las historias Vikingas.

    Mecánicas y gameplay son excelentes, los movimientos de Kratos son brutales y viscerales y eso sumado a los script, lo hacen bastante cinematográfico y espectacular y eso se agradece.

    La banda sonora no la podemos olvidar, es de una calidad tremenda y bien usada durante el desarrollo de la historia.

    La dificultad esta muy bien equilibrada, el desarrollo del personaje va acorde y ese ingrediente RPG para mejorar nuestras habilidades es bastante completo.

    A diferencia de los anteriores God of War, no es un juego netamente lineal, sus misiones secundarias son bastante buenas y divertidas y quizás necesarias para mejorar a Kratos.

    Un juego redondo que debe estar en tu vitrina de videojuegos y que claramente debes jugar.

    The only bad things that I have to say is that the variety of enemies and "mini-bosses" you encounter is to small and some secondary quests are a little annoying, but this didn't affected my enjoyment of the game. Great job Santa Monica Studio, you made an incredible game!

Me encantó, totalmente no esperaba ver más acerca de Kratos y este nuevo comienzo sienta las bases para un gran futuro, agradezco a Cory barlog por volver a Santa Mónica studios no pondría a nadie más en su lugar, a decir verdad me drogue la mayor parte del juego pero estoy siendo totalmente objetivo.
    Mi única queja al respecto es que no se explora nada después del final de GoW 3 ya que a mí me interesaba saber cómo es que Kratos sobrevivía y cómo fue que consiguió las espadas del caos siendo que llevaban años sin aparecer les agradezco de verdad a todos los involucrados conozco está franquicia desde pequeño y me entusiasma saber que tendremos más en algunos años...

    I mean, you already know how great the game is. The only thing I didn't like is how even though it's a big game it still felt linear. There was a point where I felt like the game gassed out and I wanted more, but that's just me. Amazing in every other aspect.

    Haven't been more satisfied with a game any more than GOD OF WAR!

    Ignore people who don't rate it well. It might not be their cup of tea or they are just salty that there isn't enough action as compared to previous titles. Yes there isn't but the focus is the narrative in here, the story of how Kratos becomes a human again and how he starts caring and growing with his son. At first I

    At first I wasn't a fan of the gameplay and RPG elements but overtime it grew on me and I think it has been one of the better elements to pop in. I just can't wait for sequel.

    BOI! You best play this game, BOI! And also, take a shot every time he says BOI! Incredibly deep game, full of nuance, story, and exploration. This game coming from the this series is proof that the creators behind it are continuously looking to improve and change, progressing each time.

    Apesar de sair um pouco do estilo original dos outros jogos da saga, é um dos melhores jogos de Ps4, senão é o melhor!

    God of war was one of the best games of the generation. The game took what's awesome about god of war and made it better in the new game. They made Kratos a more relatable character, and gave us an emotional story with him, setting for the new sequel by exciting us for new adventures to come. It was an amazing experience.

    God of war is an outstanding game. The best game I've played on the PS4 and any Xbox one game. The story and visuals are some of the very best out there. The way the camera never cuts is just amazing. Acting is on a very high level. Just an amazing game.

    Amazing game. It's a bit of a departure from the usual God of War games, whether that's a good thing is obviously subjective, but I loved it. I even went as far as getting the platinum trophy for it, which I don't bother doing often. Highly recommended.

    Es un juego muy entretenido con una historia que engancha con el carisma de sus personajes y su pasado. Se ve muy bien y es cómodo de jugar. No es como los anteriores God of War porque esos son el pasado (la etapa griega), ahora se ha renovado tanto en el apartado de la historia como también en la jugabilidad y en la ambientación.

    Lo mas controversial de este juego es el cambio drastico en el gameplay y definitivamente lo que mas me ha gustado, no diciendo que el anterior sea peor o el nuevo mejor sino porque se han atrevido a hacer cambios con tal de no dejar que la saga se estanque.

    Al igual que Miyamoto siempre nos sorprende con cambios repentinos en el esquema de juego con Super Mario en sus juegos

    Al igual que Miyamoto siempre nos sorprende con cambios repentinos en el esquema de juego con Super Mario en sus juegos principales se logro en este, sumado a ver la evolucion del personaje de Kratos a un adulto responsable y prudente que ama a su hijo, pero tambien estaria dispuesto a matar por el.

    a muchos tampoco les termina de convencer Astreus porque los irrita, pues ese es el punto quedar en el lugar de Kratos que tambien se ve frustrado por el comportamiento de su hijo, un apartado muy envolvente.

    La saga se abre paso a una nueva estapa, el nuevo legado de GOW es mas que digno de sus anteriores entregas, un juego digno de los dioses.

    This game is perfect. I never cared about God of War but got it in a Black Friday offer for $10...I didn´t expect it to be one of the best games I have ever played.

    Good: +Combat system: The combat is flawless, the controls respond perfect and you have plenty of options to configure Kratos and Atreus skills, with many many attacks that you can learn so don´t be discouraged if you find
    This game is perfect. I never cared about God of War but got it in a Black Friday offer for $10...I didn´t expect it to be one of the best games I have ever played.

    Good:
    +Combat system: The combat is flawless, the controls respond perfect and you have plenty of options to configure Kratos and Atreus skills, with many many attacks that you can learn so don´t be discouraged if you find the combat bland in the first couple of hours it will improve a lot as you learn all the mechanics and skills.

    +Graphics: Incredible, it´s like controlling the cinematics of a game. When I played it I couldn´t believe those graphics belong to this PS4 gen.

    + Story and characters: Incredible story and characters. You´ll be playing the main story for about 30 hrs, it´s better than most blockbuster film but by far. The characters are very likable like Kratos, Atreus, Brok, Sindri, Mimir. It has so much details the game involves you with, like Kratos telling stories to Atreus, or Mimir improving the lore while you are travelling on the boat.

    + It´s not just a hack and slash: Also has many secondary missions, secrets and many things to explore because GoW is not linear anymore and now is a good mix of hack and slash with adventure

    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.
