    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a very slow start. It's a completely different game than the older GOW's and the slower pace threw me off at first. If I'm honest I didn't like the axe at all as it contributed to that slower pace, but once you get the twin blades the game's fighting really speeds up. I know it was a story decision, but I think the developers messed up a bit in this regard. The game actually felt like GOW again when you finally pull out the twin blades.

    Graphically it's beautiful of course. Sound design great. Moves feel weighty. The skill trees are good. Mechanically it's very nice. But most of the "puzzles" to obtain chests felt like padding and didn't add anything to the game. And where were the boss battles?? I was really disappointed in this regard. Basically just fighting different colored trolls and soul eaters between a couple of Baldur fights. Overall, good game but has some glaring flaws.    … Expand

    This is with any doubt one of the best games in this generation, and one if not the best in the PS4 exclusive lists. My only problem with it is that i'd love having more epic boss battles like the prior ones. But despite that, Cory Barlog, you are a God

I literally bought a PS4 pro for the sole purpose of being able to play it myself after hearing and seeing such good things. Worth every penny. If for some reason you haven’t played this yet, you owe it to yourself to do so. World class.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The combat system is fluid and varied, with plenty of options and special attacks for spectacle. Although lacking the constant deluge of quality bosses from prior games, the main bosses are still fantastic, especially the first God. In addition to this incredibly solid foundation, plenty of side quests are available of which most are high quality and entertaining. To top this off, you have this overarching theme of being unable to escape a past that torments you and you see Kratos and the boy maturing and progressing throughout the game, making the conclusion all the more satisfying. The sequence where Kratos regains the blades of chaos is possibly one of the best cutscenes in a game, and requires very little dialogue to achieve this, due to fantastic directions. Sigrun's boss fight is one of the best and most challenging boss fights in a gmae, all without being annoying or frustrating as it is very well designed. Overall it is a must buy for any on a ps4.… Expand

So when I started playing this game I was overwhelmed as it is easy to for some first timers to the series. You have combat that is somewhat demanding as you have to account for who you are fighting, how many enemies there are, knowing where they are, what are their weaknesses, paying attention to your health, etc. i.e. in my instance fighting 2 trolls while other enemies attack you as well. I am simply not used to doing all of that and the difficulty I played on was Balanced which is a very reasonable difficulty level for first timers. Another reason why this game was overwhelming to me was because the amount of skills, weapons, armor, to choose from/upgrade. I do not like it when a game offers you a lot of skills to choose from because it is a lot to remember during combat. It's like how AC Odyssey worked. You had a bunch of skills to choose from but you could only execute 4 of them. Except in this game you could use all of them, but I didn't really care to learn all of them even though I invested a lot in skills. I mainly stuck with my Runic skills. I like certain things simple when it comes to games. As far as upgrading gear I did not like the fact that certain attributes would fluctuate. For instance if I were to invest my hacksilver into upgrading my chest piece and depending on what chest piece you get your cooldown attribute could increase while your strength attribute decreases or your runic attribute could increase while your defense decreases, etc. Your attributes are: Strength, Runic, Defense, Vitality, Luck, and Cooldown. These attributes strength level will fluctuate throughout the game as you upgrade your gear and is kind of frustrating but you have to pay attention to what you absolutely want to increase which means sacrificing another attribute. Putting all of that aside the Leviathan Axe and the Blades of Chaos are really cool weapons. The Blades of Chaos was my favorite and Rage Mode is really cool. Oh, and Brok and Sindri are funny characters (Brok was my favorite as he would say the most off the wall things). I never did any side missions for them though. Side note: The flying elves were my toughest opponent and always died the most when facing them. Hate those dam elves!

    Overall I did like this game, but would ABSOLUTELY NOT play it on any other difficulty than balanced. As I was going through the story I couldn't help but think that Kratos and his son were doing all of this just to get to a dam mountain and release the mother's ashes. But, I went along with it and along the way there were some really cool moments and a lot of AWWWW **** HERE WE GO AGAIN! moments too. The developers of the game did a great job, but this will probably be the first and last GoW game I will ever play.    … Expand

There were only basically like 3 boss battles, only one against a big monster, and that felt very "tame" compared to what Kratos did in the past games.
    However, I do think that a slow start is better for the story here. It would not make sense for Kratos to go kill 37627 Gods right away when he clearly wants nothing to do with that anymore.

    It's just like playing the original with a new formula with all the improvement the first one had seeing such a major development of character and that finally his past is over, a new beggining

    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

    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!

    Most overrated game of this Generation after Witcher 3 and Bloodborne. Worst game in the series hands down. Slow paced, pretentious, wannabe Last of Us "cinematic" game. This game tries so hard to be "emotional" and make you feel like you are developing a "bond" between Kratos and his son (like we have totally never seen this before in any other movie or game before ever).

This game tries so hard to be "emotional" and make you feel like you are developing a "bond" between Kratos and his son (like we have totally never seen this before in any other movie or game before ever). All the bosses are the same and they even look the same. They all carry some big wooden thing which they attack with and it makes every fight feel the same. A huge downgrade compared to the epic bosses of the previous games especially God of War 3. This game has nothing on GOW 3. Heck, I even enjoyed the PSP games better. At least they weren't trying to shove some pretentious story down your throat.… Expand

    I literally can't understand how can this be a hit when we have open world games like RDR2, Zero Down, and many more that WAY surpasses it generally in intelectual, artistic, mechanical and every other aspect. it's a Boring as hell linear game with a lot of limitations and repetitive to the bone mechanics.

Sadly for the fans, his story was done but little did we know, Corey Barlog and Santa Monica weren’t finished with our ‘boy’. They had another epic tale to tell. With a new, semi-open world design, over the shoulder camera, revitalised, visceral combat system and more appealing and cinematic approach to storytelling, Kratos has made a cracking return and a simple and powerful statement: “I am the face of Playstation, hear me roar!”… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War is a masterclass in combat and storytelling. The deep and connected story between a father and son is the perfect setting for a God of War game. Although some die hard fans may be slightly disappointed due to the added 'baby steps' for new players (pointing out exactly what to do and where to go) and the addition of simplistic puzzles. But if you can get past that this game demands respect. The story is masterful and ties perfectly with the combat and the way Kratos and Boy (Atreus) play the game. This game puts fans in a position that no one believed was even possible and yet here we are. It's also important to note that during my playthrough I experienced no bugs whatsoever.

    This game is a must play for everyone with a ps4.    … Expand

    The story of Kratos and Atreus is very intriguing, satisfying gameplay, good boss battles, many customization options, the graphics are beautiful and some of the best ever seen, fantastic soundtrack.

    CONS:
    Main story is a bit stretched out in some parts.

The experience is like when you were at a theme park as a kid and you get to drive a car around, only to realise it's stuck on a rail. The experience is all planned out for you and you are never really in control. You can only more forward, look around at the fire effects and the show that is presented to you and just sit out the ride. Nothing ever really feels dangerous. Just look for the yellow signs on the wall or smash circle when you are asked to. Combat has the same feeling of repetitiveness and over-the-top drama which blends out everything. Not every game needs to be open world at all for me, but with this game I just feel really detached to what's going on by the way it is scripted out for you at every turn.

    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]
