    Excelente, gráficamente genial, los movimientos de Kratos y las opciones para atacar son infinitas. Lamentablemente sentí el mundo vacío. Pocos NPCs poca variedad de enemigos pero buena historia.

    An absurdly linear game that is vastly overrated.

First of all, the gameplay might feel good, but some of the combat looks ridiculous (i.e. the animation where the enemy hovers above ground while you can continuously hit him). Second of all, the story is captivating and beautiful, but that's pretty much it with this game. And I would just like to point out that the graphics -- which seems to have impressed many -- really isn't that impressive. The graphics is really detailed up close, but the larger world and the scenery a lot of the time look like a flat backdrop, while a game like Red Dead Redemption II has a completely different sense of scale to it, where the world genuinly feels deep, vibrant and dynamic. Now, I know that this game won the game of the year at the game awards, but that was wrong. Simple as that. The thing about Red Dead Redemption II -- which, I assume, most people considered to be the main rival for the title -- is that it was genuinely groundbreaking, laying the foundations for future open-world titles. There really wasn't anything revolutionizing about God of War, and while it might be good game to some, it really doesn't present anything new to the world of gaming. And I think that was the main reason why Red Dead Redemption II should've won game of the year. My score for this game (7) indicates that I still value the game, which I of course do. In many way it's an artistic and creative masterpiece -- Cory Barlog and his team have a pretty vivid imagination -- but I still feel that this game is massively overrated. Expand

    As an old player that has played about everything KOF, Street Fighter, Smash, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero, Cup-Head, Mario,..etc.. etc I have to say that its one of the most incredible games so far, the final fight feels very good, i can't wait for it on PS5. Really you have to play it to understand.

However, it's hard to feel connected to your armor at all. Unlike Witcher 3, where gear hunting is a joy and you really have control over your playstyle. Also, the combat is really incredible and intricate. That being said, there are so many different moves and combos that even though I'd acquire new skills, I found myself forgetting to complete most of the moves by the end of the game. Overall, what a joyful ride through a gorgeous world. It was nice to get a wide linear game after finishing Witcher 3. Expand

    God of War es un autentico espectáculo, a nivel técnico y narrativo, hacer todo el videojuego en un solo plano secuencia y sin tiempos de carga de ningún tipo es simplemente una genialidad, es una historia que nadie debería perderse. Para mí, unos de los mejores juegos de PS4 y un motivo de peso para pillar PS5.

Eventually I decided to play it to shut him up. In Short God Of War 4 is one of the best game I've ever played,.

    The story is brilliant. The graphics are gorgeous. The gameplay is deep, sure you could pretty much run through the game simply using the same few moves on an easy difficulty setting, or you can put in the work, pump up that difficulty and go pick a fight with the valkyrie's especially the valkyrie queen, and a few great challenges along the way, this games insanely good and again if played seriously will make you question your ability as a gamer! Just an absolute masterpiece, the only fault I could think of is that there wasnt more of it!

    Just don't be like me, don't think it's not your sort of game without playing it. Hell don't make a decision it's not your style of game only playing it for an hour. These games all need you to commit to playing about 8 hours to get really invested into them. I'd say complete this game before reviewing it. The games nothing short of a masterpiece!

    Покупал диск с рук на Авито за 3 тыщи чуть ли не в первый месяц продаж игры. Ещё и купил Day One Edition, хе.
    Ну что могу сказать по самой игре...
    Плюсы: 1)Постановка - одной из особенностью игры является то, что всё ведётся "одним дублем", как в том же "Бёрдмэне"; постановка просто восхитительна, камера зачастую берёт максимально пафосные, эпичные и крутые планы. 2)Геймплей - говорю
    Покупал диск с рук на Авито за 3 тыщи чуть ли не в первый месяц продаж игры. Ещё и купил Day One Edition, хе.
    Ну что могу сказать по самой игре...
    Плюсы:
    1)Постановка - одной из особенностью игры является то, что всё ведётся "одним дублем", как в том же "Бёрдмэне"; постановка просто восхитительна, камера зачастую берёт максимально пафосные, эпичные и крутые планы.
    2)Геймплей - говорю по личным ощущениям. Мне эта игра показалась помесью Souls-like и слэшера, потому что от всех этих уворотов, кувырков, сильных/слабых ударов и прочего - ловятся Лордранские флешбеки. Особенно это чувствуется в битвах с Валькириями, где без прямых рук - не пройти.
    3)Ощущение боёвки - хоспаде, ощущение бросков и ударов Левиафаном и Клинками Хаоса - просто божественны. Sony SantaMonica провели просто божественную работу над вибрацией Дуалшока и ощущением отдачи.
    4)Сюжет - сюжет короткий, интересный и крайне локальный. Крайне надеюсь на его развитие в следующих частях, особенно после такого клифхенгера в виде Тора в конце игры.
    5)Музыкальное сопровождение - музыку вне игры не слушал, но как же она шикарно подходит самой игре - пафосно, эпично, К Р У Т О.
    6)Графен - завезли, он прекрасен. Удивительно, что такая старушка, как PS4fat его тянет.
    7) С Ы Н
    Минусы:
    1)Боссы - однообразные, скучные, сука, Элементали и Тролли... Но Бессмертный Дрищ крут, очень.
    2)Дизайн локаций и бэктрекинг - бляха, ненавижу бэктрекинг - БЕГАТЬ НАЗАД ЗА ВСЯКИМ ДЕРЬМОМ ЭТО ЖЕ ТАААААААААК ВЕСЕЛО, ДА. А ещё очень сильно раздражало, что могущественный Кратос не может перепрыгнуть или спрыгнуть не с предусмотренных игрой мест.
    3)Унылый дроч. И под этим я имею в виду Нильфхейм и всякую фигню по типу Петухов Одина, разбитых горшков, трансформаторных Ш-пластин и прочего коллекционного мусора. Это просто раздражает.

    The final nail in the coffin for anyone attempting to justify ownership of an Xbox over a PlayStation I'm afraid.

    Who would've thought a character as thoroughly despicable and monstrous as Kratos; the aptly named Ghost of Sparta, could receive such a prolific redemption in the form of one of the best games to be released in the past decade. With a story so gripping, gameplay so innovative and brutal, graphics so dazzling it blurs the line between reality and game how could you not want to give the big guy one more chance.

    The one issue I have with this otherwise astonishingly excellent game is that of the 'Give me God of War' difficulty setting. Naturally being the hardest difficulty it is just that; hard. The problem lies with why its hard, which is a result of enemies that absorb damage like a sponge absorbs water and hit you with sucker-punch one hit KO moves that make Kratos look like a newborn, given the name of the difficulty it comes off as fairly ironic in that respect. However in light of the game's achievements this can be overlooked.

    This game marks a bold leap forward for not only Kratos himself as well as the franchise, but for the future of the industry too.

    One of the best pieces of art to ever release in game form. Everything from the stunning gameplay to the sound design to the graphics makes this game look and feel like a masterpiece. The voice acting alone is just incredible with haunting performances that will be running through your mind for weeks on end.

    Incredible story, fun gameplay, beautiful graphics, and immense character development. In the 50+ hours I put into this game, there was never a point in which I was frustrated. It is consistently fun, emotional, and gripping.

    Easily the best game of this generation. If you didn't play God of War you shouldn't own a PS4.

    Really nice looking game. Combat really poor, copy paste bosses. Crafting / upgrading pointless really, doesn't feel like you've got any stronger/better. Too much back tracking. Feels like you just do same thing over and over again, got really boring by the end. Climb climb, look for chests, 5 mobs pew pew and repeat.

    The game is pretty slow at the beginning, doesn't feel like a GOW at all, but one you get the Chaos Swords the game is more dynamic and fun (at least in my case)
    The constant Atreus commentaries and Kratos responses are very annoying, but not annoying enough to ruin the game.
    Overall it's a good game, not as a real GOW, but a good game

    Simplesmente incrível, história envolvente que te prende do começo ao fim, gráficos insanos e o melhor de tudo, divertidíssimo! Você começa a joga e só quer parar quando o troféu de platina aparece.

    La prensa y sony me lo vendieron como la segunda venida de cristo por lo que mis espectativas eran muy altas, lamentablemente estuvo muy lejos de superarlas. Visualmente es muy bueno pero cae en lo que es el gameplay

    Brutal, touching, funny, impressive, memorable... so many words come to me to describe the trip I lived with Kratos and Atreus, I'm now waiting the following God of War 2.
    One of the best games of the Generation.

    Initially, I was reluctant to this title because although it looked very good, changing the gameplay so different from the base of the saga made me doubt. However, I knew it was a "must play".

    The game is ok, but it’s only ok, not more. Previous GoWs had much better gameplay, son is annoying, puzzles don’t make you think to solve them, also this game has no story. But art-design is beautiful. Still can’t understand why it’s so overrated. 6/10 is fine for this.

    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. God of War tells an amazing and heartwarming tale that should keep you interested to the end. The characters are very interesting and the voice acting 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

It's a open world game so i recommend that you will do the side missions and explore the world there are some really cool locations in the game that you can miss. If you are a trophy hunter this game is really easy and fun to get platinum. Expand

    Il miglior gioco a cui abbia mai giocato , il primo gioco che mi ha fatto provare sensazioni così forti e potenti , un capolavoro , dove per la prima volta posso dire il gameplay era uguale ai filmati in COMPUTER GRAFICA , graficamente pauroso , e ricco e vario pure il gameplay . Regia non di meno . Arte .

    Juego brillante con un toque renovado dentro de la saga. Acción a raudales con cinemáticas brutales. La duración del juego es bastante amplia con gran variedad de escenarios y una dificultad máxima bastantes buena, haciendo bastante complicado sobre todo matar a la última valquiria. Con ganas de la segunda parte.

    Com otimos graficos o jogo tinha tudo para ser o jogo do ano, mas peca em alguns pontos.
    - Carece de um multiplayer
    - O jogo ainda é muito fácil - A história força muito a barra com Kratos sendo pai - Kratos nunca chama o filho de filho, chega a irrita com pouco tempo de jogatina. - Single player está na média, mas é um jogo futil que depois da campanha e da platina pode ser

    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.

    I don't know guys... I hate to mid-score this game but I'm sick of Sony marketing promising the next big thing for the franchise just to rush and mess things up. We hate to admit it but it's time for the companies to realize we are not stupid just because we love a franchise.

    This game needed more time to be finished and optimized and it shows. It's also way too short and replayability

    This game needed more time to be finished and optimized and it shows. It's also way too short and replayability is basically cero. Action side is... don't know how to put it... feels like you can spam buttons and still beat the game.

    Over focused in cinematics.

    Personalmente no me hizo sentir esa emocion de los God of War pasados, a mi forma de ver fue un error esta nueva reinvencion del juego ya que no me gusta que lo hayan querido hacer un poco mas hacia lo realista y la camara no me gustó para nada.

    This game is beautiful, it has a good story and its a showcase for the console. That said the story didnt click with me and I preferred the old combat. I want to give it a 7, but I can see its a great game even if its not my thing so I give it a 8. Having said all that, its a must play, give it chance!

    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]
