    Triple A Single Player de la más alta calidad. El mejor God of War jamás creado y uno de los mejores exclusivos de PS4. Un título imprescindible y completo del que otras compañías deberían tomar nota y aprender. Sólo Paquito "La Culebra" y tonto el Yopley no lo han olido, mientras se la vuelven a llevar caliente en todos los morros XD

    Es uno de los mejores juegos sino que el mejor juego de esta generación teniendo una jugabilidad profunda, narrativa excelente además de dar un refresco a la saga que no se siente forzado sino que se sienta natural y los gráficos son excelente, a Sony Santamonica se le nota el esfuerzo y cariño con el que han hecho el juego

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Good:

    The core combat mechanics of throwing your weapons around is spectacular and satisfying. The aesthetics are cutting-edge, the audio is epic and enthralling with war-like Nordic themes, and the plot is stupendous. Every character is great and appealing with tons of personality, depth, and complex reasoning. If I were focusing on these aspects alone, the game would have a perfect 10/10. However, I cannot help but cut this elaboration on the good aspects short, as the bad aspects kept echoing in my mind at a much greater volume throughout the entire experience.

    ¿Qué puedo decir sobre este videojuego que no se halla dicho? Sinceramente, no lo sé. God Of War es una saga que la conozco desde sus inicios en la Playstation 2 y algo que siempre se ha destacado de esta saga es la actitud de Kratos ante un rival, ya sea en palabras o en acciones sangrientas.

God Of War es una saga que la conozco desde sus inicios en la Playstation 2 y algo que siempre se ha destacado de esta saga es la actitud de Kratos ante un rival, ya sea en palabras o en acciones sangrientas. En esta entrega se ha cambiado todo esto y ahora notamos a un Kratos más cuerdo y mejor preparado mentalmente para afrontar cualquier combate incluso llegando al punto de querer evitarlo, aunque más tarde que nunca este enfrentamiento se llegue a dar. Notamos mucha más humanidad en la actitud de Kratos. ¿Esto es realmente malo? Sin duda algo que ha dejado en el ojo de la tormenta a este videojuego ha sido el cambio brutal que ha tenido Kratos en su temperamento, incluso ahora tiene una nueva familia con la que se nota mucho más su cambio porque nos acostumbramos a pelear solos (Hay solo una excepción), pero esta se presenta en casi todo el gameplay.
    Otro cambio ha sido la jugabilidad, que en lugar de tener un Hack & Slash como anteriores entregas ahora tiene un gameplay más pausado y una variedad de armas no tan grande. Si bien el Hack & Slash es uno de mis géneros favoritos, no he sentido que el cambio de este género en la nueva entrega haya sido algo que te impida disfrutar la experiencia de God Of War que ahora parece una mezcla de acción y aventura con razgos de los RPG ya sea en el arbol de habilidades o en la capacidad de poder mejorar o elaborar nuevos trajes para poder tener mejoras en los aspectos que busquemos mejorar para mantener un equilibrio en nuestro estilo de juego lo cual hace que el gameplay pueda variar si eres capaz de poder explotar al máximo el gameplay que el juego te puede ofrecer. Si logras persevir al niño como un estorbo, esto no es así ya que puedes utilizar al niño como un arma más y poder realizar mejores combos.
    En el aspecto del apartado gráfico, sin duda es excepcional el cómo Santa Mónica ha podido explotar el hardware del PS4 (2013) y cómo han utilizado las mejoras de PS4 Pro. Sin duda me he quedado boquiabierto con los escenarios, los modelados de los personajes principales y secundarios, las armaduras y los objetos que nos vayamos encontrando en el entorno. Personalmente, no he percibido algún tipo de tirón o caída de framerate que haya arruinado mi experiencia de juego, he sentido una fluidez sólida tanto en el gameplay como en las cinemáticas (que no se sienten como tal) Las cinemáticas de este God Of War deben ser una de las mejor implementadas en los videojuegos. No sientes que estuvieras en una cinemática, sino como si fuera parte del juego y sin duda es algo que logra mejorar mucho la inmersión, esto conocido como un plano secuencia
    En el apartado sonoro, sin duda se han mantenido a la altura del soundtrack de anteriores entregas, es lo que siempre me transmite magia y epicidad sintiendome como si fuera la primera vez que jugué God Of War en PS2. Les recomiendo escuchar el tema principal (Overture) con subtitulo en español y vean el cómo este tema refleja todo lo que pasamos en la aventura.
    La historia es de lo más brutal que he visto en un juego de God Of War, este es el fuerte de la entrega ya que comparado con anteriores títulos es superior en este apartado. El comienzo de la aventura ya nos vaticina el tono que tendrá la historia con un Kratos más maduro y posicionado (Actúa acorde a qué amerite la situación). Comenzamos con lo que de por sí es nuestro objetivo final el cual es cumplir el último deseo de Faye (Madre de Atreus y esposa de Kratos) que es llevar sus cenizas al pico más alto de los 9 reinos que vi bien en la premisa suena algo simple, en el desarrollo del juego se llega a profundizar en varios aspectos en la relación padre e hijo, y en lo bien escrito que están los personajes y lo sobresaliente del guión. (Todo lo que diré de la historia para no spoilear)

    Esta es la clase de juego que uno debe adquirir, sin micropagos ni microtransacciones. New Game + gratis, contenido adicional en misiones secundarias, rescate de dragones, busqueda de objetos para los enanos y lo más brutal que son las valkyrias que son todo un reto en la máxima dificultad en especial la última.
    Gran variedad en los mundos y 2 extras en las que podremos encontrar grande recompensas al terminarlos. Uno es un laberinto que cambia constantemente mediante avancemos y si morimos perderemos todo lo obtenido y otro en el que se nos presenta arena de enemigos con diferentes formas especificas en las que nos piden acabar con ellos.

    En conclusión: Para mí, es el mejor juego de la historia. Cuida cada uno de sus apartados y para buscarle pegas hay que ser exquisitos. Quizás la variedad de enemigos, pero es algo ya como dije de exquisitos. Lo de no soltar a muchos Dioses es entendible ya que esta entrega va a tener una secuela. Un juego que es arte y que enamora.

    Great game, a new concept of god of war. Good moveset, lots of skills and secrets to discover in the game. I hope God of War 2 explores much of what was left behind in the first game. It has become a game that is not simply pushing buttons.

    Despues de darle una segunda oportunidad y sigo pensando que este kratos no es nuestro kratos de la primera trilogia de god of war, no puedo negar que un juego con una buena carga narrativa y que el meter el tema nordico le viene muy bien. Es un muy buen juego,pero no creo que sea el mejor del catalogo de playstation 4,esta entre los mejores pero no es el mejor.

    Es quizá la mejor reimaginación de un juego que he visto, la profundidad que aborda Kratos es increíble. Además de que el nuevo sistema de combate se siente super fluido y es muy buena la dificultad, la exploración no se siente lineal verdaderamente por sus ambientaciones y objetivos que ofrecen una rejugabilidad, si quieres intentarlo.

    Rating this game as an adventure RPG game, is almost perfect. In the time i've played i didn't get bored and i was very hyped

    Rating this game as an adventure RPG game, is almost perfect. In the time i've played i didn't get bored and i was very hyped during my game session. God of war is a 10 adventure.

    The worst thing of this game is gameplay, is a little bit repetitive because the amount of combos is very short for me, but isn't bad because is so enjoyable and impressive. and the axe mechanic is very good to interactuate with the enviroment. The gameplay for me is good , but 0 innovation .

    A great adventure only for ps4. Enjoy of the game :)

    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.

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.

    Pretty fun game but incredibly overrated. The hype around this game has puzzled me like no other. Usually I understand the masses opinion or at least where it's coming from but GOW continues to be a surprise for me. It's a fun-ish game with beautiful graphics and cool story. It's also incredibly repetitive and not particularly ordinal/creative. It's a solid C+/B-.

    The game is good for sure. However, there are way waaay too many collectibles. And there is far too little combat. Most of the game was running through puzzles. There was a bit of fighting. Then they saved most of the real fight for the Valkyries.

    The "hub" design of the world is very good and you can re-visit every area of the game.

    I'm not a fan of the "cinematic" boss fight, i don't like being interrupted by gimmicks on the middle of a boss fight. Also they could make the bosses a little harder, more close to the Valkyries. I guess they are afraid of scare the most casual players...
    Also they tend to abuse of puzzles.

    Nice game, overall.

    The story was very good through and through, switching from main story to some side missions actually felt quite seamless. Lore is very rich and goes very deep.

    The music deserves its own award, i get goosebumps to the theme song sometimes to this day, its the perfect song for a perfect game, sets the mood straight away.

In the game about Spider-Man 2018 there were at least 3 animations of finishing on one type of opponents! At the same time, there are many ways to crush enemies, and playing at a high level of complexity is a real challenge for the player! 5) Personally, I expected more from the crafting system ...

    After hearing all of the hype surrounding God of War 2018 and having a number of friends tell me that I “Have to play this game!” I finally decided to load it up and give it a play through.

    Upon starting it up, the scenery and graphics looked pretty amazing and I really thought I was in for an experience that matched my high expectations… Unfortunately, that's where it ended for me.
    After hearing all of the hype surrounding God of War 2018 and having a number of friends tell me that I “Have to play this game!” I finally decided to load it up and give it a play through.

    Upon starting it up, the scenery and graphics looked pretty amazing and I really thought I was in for an experience that matched my high expectations… Unfortunately, that's where it ended for me.

    I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of a difficult game for that rewarding feeling of accomplishment when you finally manage to take down a foe through a dance of well-timed parrying, dodging and attacking in that small window when your enemy is vulnerable. God of War however, is difficult for all the wrong reasons!

    After investing quite a few hours into the game, God of War felt as though it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be From Software game or a Naughty Dog game and as a result, it failed at both.

    The combat had potential to be outstanding with great mechanics such as the Leviathan axe throw and recall, but with the extremely bland and uninspiring enemy design this adds very little value to the underwhelming game play experience.

    Unfortunately, the enemies are just absolute damage sponges, and this results in long, overly drawn out combat which becomes boring and repetitive very quickly!

    Even many of the boss fights, though they look impressive, are just plain, robotic and follow the same pattern of attacks.

    A boss fight should be exciting and an opportunity to execute the array of skills you have developed throughout the game up to that point.

    Unfortunately, The only thought I had when encountering a boss was **** here’s another enemy with a **** ton of health…”

    For these reasons, I actually found myself dreading each enemy encounter and the only satisfaction I found when clearing an area of enemies was the thought of "Thank **** that's over", and that’s only because I was now slightly closer to finishing the game.

    God of War gave me no incentive or desire to explore anywhere outside of the direct route I was required to follow in order to progress in the main quest line.

    Most of the crates I opened rarely contained anything of interest and in addition to this, most of the time I was required to complete some kind of mundane puzzle in order to open said crates…

    Next up, we have the upgrade system. At first glance it looks overly complex and maybe even a touch overwhelming. In reality though, it’s actually very simplistic and as a result, upgrading Kratos and Atreus is quite dull and uninspiring to say the least.

    Let's wrap this up by discussing the "story", or lack there of....

    Let me summarize it for you…

    Climb up a mountain to scatter the ashes of some dead chick who you (as a player) never got to see and therefore form any kind of connection with during the game...

    Throughout this fascinating Journey, you will also be privy to some incredible dialogue between Kratos and Atreus (Kratos’s son).

    Watch Kratos utilise his extensive vocabulary as he grunts convincingly at Atreus and refers to him as “boy” rather than call him by his actual name…

    Also, speaking of Atreus… I can honestly say that I don’t think I have ever hated a video game character as much as I hate this disobedient and whiny little ****

    Every cut scene where I was forced to stare at his **** ugly face just irritated me to no end!

    Maybe if the main plot line of the game was to burn this little **** alive and throw his ashes off the edge of the mountain, rather than his dead mother, I would have enjoyed it more…

    This new chapter in the Kratos saga reinvents itself and brings a new and very fun gameplay with the leviathan ax and an exciting and fun story.

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...

    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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm gonna go straight into it that this game. Its a dam good game. God of War will be game to remember for a while. The live development in characters is just so amazing. With Atreus, which is Kratos's son has more than an interesting development throughout the game. In Most games you see a character with lacking abilities, and then you see them move on and grow more and develop in a classic way. Since I see this a lot in video games it doesn't seem interesting for a character to have this development. Now you go and play God of War, you just entered the big boy region. Atreus has a development were he goes to being useless to being skilled but not perfect. But then you got the twist. He goes to being overconfident when he realizes he's half god. Any way screw the character development I want to talk about the action. Holy crap. The second boss battle was so amazing, and got my attention to keep playing this game. Its a long game, so with its brutality and cinematic battles, it kept me hooked until the very end. And you may be wondering why I rate this game at a 9 and not a 10. Well its just that the story is only alright. Not good not bad but alright. Its just one objective to bury ashes at the tallest peek of a mountain. I thought once you bury the ashes, something else would come up but that was just the end of the game. Other than that its a quality game and worth your time. Expand

    This is an amazing game. For veterans of the series, this is a breath of fresh air. For newcomers, this is a great entry to the series. This does a great job to inform newcomers of Kratos' past by giving you enough of his backstory. However, veterans will better understand Kratos' struggle to keep his son safe.

    The combat in the game is great, the visuals are stunning and the characters

But understand this: It isn't God of War. Santa Monica studios took a formula and created an image that kept players coming back for God of War I, II, and III and decided to torch it for whatever this game is. Kratos is older, heftier, and completely changed is voice (?). Why the makers didn't use TC Carson again is par for the three giant leaps they took from GOW to begin with. Kratos has a son now, which with the exception of a few well placed arrows that comes in handy is more of a an annoyance than anything else. The trips to the "vendor troll" to upgrade weapons, armour, etc is confusing and way too detailed. And the bread and butter weapon that was Kratos' weapon the Blades of Chaos/Athena have been replaced with an Ax. No where near as fun to operate albeit the recall feature is pretty cool. By the end of this latest installment of God of War I found myself wishing I had played the latest installment of God of War. This game has merit, but it fell too far from the original formula to be the fourth in an otherwise great series of three. That old adage comes to the forefront here: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    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]
