    Новый God of War одновременно прекрасен и убог(некакон, ибо я из олдов).Сюжет интересен, боёвка интересная. Из плохого: оказуаливание игры. Но 10/10, ибо игра сильно завлекла и не капельки не надоела.

    Juegalo y lo entenderas. Es una obra maestra y una narrativa como ninguna. Es triste que haya paginas que estan a favor de Nintendo que le dan notas muy bajas .

    Must play game, Kratos has matured and so did the game. It's excellent, like a glass of an old expensive wine.

    Spectacular! Admittedly it took a while to get used to.
    There's nothing else quite like it. Its visceral, brutal and hard.
    I've finished it, apart from all collectibles and Valkyries.
    Looks amazing, sounds fantastic, everything positive you have already heard is true.
    Is it the best God of War game? No, its not, but its still king of PS4 and possibly king of this generation.

    I would not be exaggerating if i said God of War is easily the best game on the PlayStation 4 and one of the best of all time.

All aspects of the game are superb and the minor flaws barley detract from the experience at all. From a technical standpoint the game is incredible. Graphically it is one of the best. The atmosphere, looming fogs in the distance, snow covered mountain peaks, great mystical realms and scope are all here to make one of the best looking games of all time. The sound effects are pitch perfect and the voice acting is amazing. The music is also a big part of the experience and its one of the best in gaming. The universe and world expands to you as you go further and further into the game uncovering the secrets and mysteries of the realms. Kratos and Atreus have a perfect bond and relationship that elevates the story. Kratos constantly scolding his son to form him into something better and Atreus just wanting a father that approves of him. The villain is charismatic and intimidating with clear motives. The story is focused and paced perfectly filled with a great cast, and best of all the scope and magnitude of the bombastic battles is unmatched. The combat feels fantastic weight to it. Parrying, dodging, light and heavy attacks are all pitch perfect. Runic attacks add more depth and ways to take out your enemies. Upgrading Kratos' abilities and improving his gear feels personalized and all the role playing elements are great. Rage mode and executions add the gore and brutal violence the series is known for. Creating different builds and discovering new ways to take on the creative and diverse enemies and bosses is rewarding. The boss fights are amazing and have great thrilling moments. Exploring the world and side quests is fun and they offer great rewards adding to the replay value. The environmental puzzles and runic chests require some brain power and are quite fun. There are some minor inconveniences with the annoying fast travel and some repetitive enemies but they are so small it is barley noticeable. I don't want to seem like a fan boy but i have never played a God of War game and seeing this change up the formula made me want to try it. I have few bad to say and so much to gush for hours about. Do yourself a favor and get this game.… Expand

    I just finished this game yesterday, the story that is, and needless to say, I had very high expectations considering all the praise it's gotten.

    this was my very first time playing this franchise, so this review will also reflect that somewhat. one of the first things I noticed starting the game, and it was quite discouraging too, is how underpowered Kratos is in the beginning. just    I just finished this game yesterday, the story that is, and needless to say, I had very high expectations considering all the praise it's gotten.

    this was my very first time playing this franchise, so this review will also reflect that somewhat. one of the first things I noticed starting the game, and it was quite discouraging too, is how underpowered Kratos is in the beginning.
    just beating the most basic enemies almost became a chore, especially since they consistently seem to gang up on him from behind, making for some cheap deaths early on.

    what was really exciting was several of the mini-boss fights. huge cave trolls, rock-monsters etc, not to mention these Valkyrie-creatures, which are a great challenge to beat. it was really satisfying to finally bring them down after a tough fight. so later in the game, Kratos does get significantly more powerful with better equipment and stronger weapons, but in my opinion, it just takes too long to upgrade it.

    the story was another thing I didn't particularly care for, there are just too many twists & turns all the time, making it feel inconsistent and downright confusing. it almost felt like the point of the whole game was lost in translation or something. thankfully, there is a particular character you meet mid-way in the game, that also joins your journey, that is very likeable.

    all the cut-scenes & cinematics became very tedious towards the end, and it almost felt like playing an interactive movie, that really detracted from the overall fun quite a bit unfortunately.

    I didn't feel compelled to explore much either, the world simply isn't that interesting Imo. it is too linear, climbing is very slow and awkward, and the travel itself is also too slow. for the most part, I just followed the story to the end.

    this review might seem overly negative, but when very high expectations aren't really met, this is bound to be the result. I did really like the game overall, it has a lot of interesting things going for it, like huge creatures that look amazing, many of the enemy encounters were great, and the visuals - just wow! the characters look amazing - especially Kratos. the details on him are simply wonderful to look at.
    this game might be the best-looking this gen, at least from a technical standpoint. there is so much detail everywhere and in everything, and I played this on a Ps4 slim, which is comparable to the base Ps4 in terms of power.
    the Ps4 is truly a powerful little machine, capable of graphics & performance such as this game, I'm just amazed.

    overall: a very good game with great high's, but also disappointing low's. there are several times in the game it feels like a chore, and this can last for several hours so that isn't fun. but there is also much greatness to it, like enemy encounters, the visuals, up-grading your characters weapons and equipment, and some of the vistas are also interesting.    … Expand

    2018, el estudio de Santa Monica desarrollo un titulo que ya es considerado desde su estreno, como uno de los mejores juegos para la consola Playstation 4.

    2018, el estudio de Santa Monica desarrollo un titulo que ya es considerado desde su estreno, como uno de los mejores juegos para la consola Playstation 4. Pertenece a la aclamada saga *God of War* .Conocido por su sanguinario protagonista, y saber como entretener al espectador a la hora de jugar, las entregas de esta franquicia funcionan mas como Arcades con algo de sub-trama de fondo... Pero aquí, ese no es el caso.

    En God of War (2018), tenemos personajes totalmente humanos, con personalidades plasmadas y arcos argumentales muy bien desarrollados, nos alejamos totalmente de la frenética violencia gratuita a la que nos tenia acostumbrado los demás títulos de la saga. Aquí, todo ello es sustituido por momentos complejos y dramáticos, emociones realistas y una historia la cual es bastante solida.
    Este juego nos demuestra a un Kratos viejo, triste, vulnerable, lleno de lamentos y sin motivos por el cual seguir viviendo...excepto su hijo. Ambos van en búsqueda de llevar las cenizas de su madre a su lugar mas deseado antes de morir, y allí, es donde se basa todo el viaje y la aventura que acompañara a nuestros dos protagonistas.

    Éste es un excelente juego, ya que a lo largo de todo nuestro viaje, se nota la evolución de Kratos y su hijo, demostrando lo bien escritos y construidos que están como personajes. Desafortunadamente (y hablando de personajes) uno de los puntos mas débiles del juego fue su Villano principal, el cual es carente de creatividad, intimidación y originalidad... Incluso los demás monstruos y seres que nos encontramos a lo largo del juego, hubieran funcionado mejor para este rol. En cuanto a los demás personajes secundarios, en su mayoría me parecen excelentes.

    God Of War utiliza exactamente la misma metodología de jugabilidad, y planos cinematográficos que el clásico *The Last of Us* , aunque esto no es necesariamente malo, resta considerablemente puntos en la parte de originalidad.
    Éste juego podría considerarse el *LOGAN* de la franquicia, ya que se aleja de la acción frenética, aventura genérica y personajes poco desarrollados.... Y nos enfoca en temas como la vejez, la familia, el perdón y la auto-superación. No es un titulo perfecto, pero a mi parecer, es sin dudas el mejor de toda la saga.

    1) The axe throwing puzzles. It gets old really really fast. And especially the Norn chests. Even when you know what you're suppose to do, it's an exercise in frustration. The timing windows are far too narrow.

    2) There are no invincibility frames in this game, which means you can get STUNLOCKED by multiple enemies and die without any way to get out of it. God of War tries to become more Souls-like, without the tight responsive control and the core mechanics of Souls games. When you die in Souls, you know you messed up. Here, it's just frustration as a dodge that should have worked doesn't, because just the bare edge of the attack catches you, or you dodged into an obstacle because of the camera.

    3) Speaking of the camera, it's the WORST. You can't see where the enemies are coming at you and dodge/parry, and the threat indicators are extremely poorly designed and you can't tell which direction the enemy is coming from. God of War should take cues from Middle Earth on how combat should work with multiple enemies. Again, like Souls, in Middle Earth, if you fail to parry/dodge, you always know it's your mistake

    It's a fantastic game that I would recommend, as long as you can bear with the glaring issues stated above.    … Expand

    There's so much to like and love about this game - but in the end everything is ruined by a few horrible flaws in the game design.

    Let's start off with the good parts though. Albeit off to a slow start the story is quite exciting, as is the father-son-dynamic once it starts evolving.

    Let's start off with the good parts though. Albeit off to a slow start the story is quite exciting, as is the father-son-dynamic once it starts evolving. The visuals are great too, as is the art of the game which really brings Midgard to life. Many of the characters met throughout the game is highly likable too, and oftentimes quite humorous.

    What bothered me to the degree that I eventually broke the game disk is the fighting mechanics though. It's not all bad, with loads of combos and possibilities to explore. But some bosses are just to hard to beat, even in story more. At least for a PC-gamer such as myself. The first boss nearly made me tear my hairs off, and that was within the first half an hour of the game. Later on one kept me repeating the same dull, pointless and repetitive moves for four hours until I eventually gave up and broke the disk.

    And don't get me wrong, I appreciate a challenge. But when the only challenge it to press the correct combination of buttons at exactly the right time like a hundred times over, as is the case here, I despise it.

    Thus I can't recommend the game. At least not for casual "play for the story"-kind of gamers as myself.    … Expand

    I was worried about the gameplay because the new camera but there is nothing wrong with it. this game is a masterpiece with a great story and beautiful moments. Watch Kratos interact with his son during the game is very touching. Perfect game, characters, gameplay, story, graphics, music. Well deserved GOTY

    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]
