    Me parece una reinvención de la saga genial. Jugabilidad muy buena una historia más que correcta y una buena duración. La verdad es un juego que se ha de tener si tienes una PS4...

    Other than some repetitive enemy characters and only a few real boss fights everything about this game is damn good. It is almost the embodiment of a perfect formula that shows us how a perfect game should be in 2018. Good story telling, lively characters, enormous action, cleverly designed puzzles, lots of optional missions, beautiful graphics, no loading screens, etc...

Good story telling, lively characters, enormous action, cleverly designed puzzles, lots of optional missions, beautiful graphics, no loading screens, etc... Maybe what this game is missing a little more humor. I wanted to give a 9.5 note but we are not allowed to give half points. If you ask why not 10/10, it is not a genre-defining game, it is not revolutionary, it doesn't bring novel ideas to the gaming industry. I think this game doesn't gamble anything at all. It just tries to be perfect, playing on the safe side with already known techniques... Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tras años después de God of War 3 nos traen una nueva entrega. En este juego encontramos notables diferencias respecto a lo tradicional en la saga. Tiene notables características de RPG ya que contamos con diferentes tipos de ataques y habilidades, sistema de niveles y equipo con diferentes mejoras tanto para la vida como resistencia y daño. Procedo a analizar punto por punto.

    Jugabilidad.

    En este sentido sigue siendo de acción con diferentes combinaciones de ataques y habilidades como pasaba en anteriores entregas. No obstante se ha vuelto más táctico y a perdido parte del ¨frenetismo¨ que encontrábamos anteriormente. Ahora, los controles de ataque se asemejan a un Dark Souls en consola ya que los botones de ataque están en R1 y R2 mientras que L1 y L2 se emplean para el uso del escudo y otras acciones. Este control produce una agradable sensación al jugar y la combinación de los ataques se hace de una forma más ligera ya que no consiste en machacar botones uno tras otro.

    Árbol de habilidades.

    En el apartado de habilidades tenemos un gran cuadro que podemos desarrollar a partir de nuestra forma de juego. De tal forma que si usamos más el escudo podemos desarrollar su uso o, si por el contrario, usamos más el hacha, podemos mejorarla.

    Guión y desarrollo.

    Se trata de una historia no convencional en la saga ya que en vez de de tener que ir en busca de tal o cual Dios para matarlo, se trata de un viaje de superación y aprendizaje para Kratos y Atreus a través de los diferentes reinos de la mitología Nórdica. Hay una evolución a lo largo de la trama de los personajes en su forma de ver el mundo así como en su pensamiento que está bastante bien construida. No obstante se pierde un poco esa sensación de progreso ¨personal¨ de los personajes si te dedicas a la exploración del vasto mundo que tenemos a nuestra disposición. A lo largo de la aventura iremos interaccionando con diferentes mundos y razas. Tiene una muy buena ambientación pero flojea en el diseño de niveles. Ya que algunos de los mundos se pueden considerar amplios pasillos con pocas cosas que hacer en ellos.

    El juego cuenta también con un excelente apartado gráfico y sonoro que nos ayudará a meternos de lleno en el mundo que nos presenta. Los enemigos están zonas con sentido dentro de la narrativa ya que un tipo de enemigo aparece en un determinado lugar porque en ese sitio hay unas características que hacen que abunde ese tipo de enemigo.

    Como puntos negativo:

    La poca diversidad de enemigos ya que es técnicamente la misma.
    Algún pequeño bug visual, nada que afecte a la jugabilidad.
    El diseño de niveles en determinados puntos.

    Como puntos positivos:

    La historia y desarollo.
    La calidad gráfica.
    Misiones secundarias.
    Explicación de la mitología Nórdica mediante diálogos y coleccionables.
    Enemigos secundarios, Las Valquirias.
    Nuevo sistema de combate y habilidades.

    A great addition to God of War. This game proves that doing something different won't ruin previous attempts. It keeps the series fresh. It is undoubtedly a near-masterpiece in gaming, and I hope a new trilogy emerges from this game.

    Good games generally can't be made today due to the gaming industry full of greedy companies and bad communities but even though God of War manages to make a masterpiece unlike anything done before it and now not only it is the game of the generation but also the the living example that good games can still be made today

    I'm a fan of the original trilogy and let me tell you I had to push myself through the camping on this one. If you wanna see an honest review of this game check out TheGamingBritShow, this guy was spot on and I agree with him. Overall this is a perfect game for people who are not that into video

    Overall this is a perfect game for people who are not that into video games. It seems to me that the developers decided to do the following> ok we can't do the same thing over and over again, let's do something different. What's all the rage now? Dark Souls? Last of us? Uncharted? unskippable cut-scenes? great, let's throw all of that in the pot.

    Graphics are freaking amazing btw.

    Don't get me wrong this is not a bad game, it's just way over hyped and overrated. Disappointing.

    El juego es lento pues cuenta una historia rica, y va desarrollando los personajes para que te familiarizes, no es para nada como el Kratos de antes donde ibas machacando todo de por medio, mas no lo hace para nada aburrido, todo lo contrario mucho mas "immersive".
    Peca de repetido como todos los juegos es imposible no caer en eso para extenderlo, nueva area, pelea, escala, pelea, explora, jefe, repite, pero el combate entre todo esto es impecable, la idea de la hacha la sastifacion de tirarla y volverla a tu pano, creando combos increibles solo tienes que tener la capacidad de aprendertelos y podras crear movimientos como si fueran ejecutados en una pelicula, esto mas la combinacion de atreus que mientras vas avanzando igual manera va aumentando su poder, va creando sinergia con su padre en todo, tanto en la narrativa como en el combate, da gusto el escucharlos interactuar en sus conversaciones, mientras exploras vas nutriendote de la relacion de ambos y te sientes parte de sus problemas, pero mas gratificante cuando van mejorando, a esto se le agrega el trasfondo de la nueva mitologia nordica, que es excelente para dar el cambio, desde la griega (donde ya no quedaban dioses vivos gracias a kratos).

    Es un inmmenso mundo de historia donde con las conversaciones vas aprendiendo si prestas atencion y tienes paciencia para escucharla (me veia en ocaciones remando en el bote sin direccion solo escuchando las historias), con esto planteado, el juego peca en cuanto a personajes principales y su fin, es bastante simple y el final no es espetacular por esto, mas el juego su punto fuerte es la travesia, el desarrollo de habilidades y como aprendes junto a los personajes el combate, y ni que decir de los graficos, junto a Horizon Zero Dawn, este es el mejor juego graficamente en PS4, vale la pena jugarlo en 4k HDR.

Атрей не тупит, а отлично дополняет Кратоса в схватках с врагами, лучшего напарника я в принципе в видеоиграх не видел. Поругать игру можно за малое количество боссов, особенно после God of War 3, контраст сильный.
    Сюжет на высшем уровне, герои отыгрывают на полную, все персонажи интересны, главный злодей мотивирован по самое не балуй, ему иногда даже сопереживаешь. А диалоги, диалоги это просто сказка. Сюжет конечно можно немножко поругать за привязанность к предыдущим играм, если не играли в ранние части, не получится проникнуться внутренними переживаниями Кратоса, его борьбой со своими демонами, тем, как он стремится оградить Атрея от повторения своих ошибок.
    Графика, я редко говорю в играх про графику, но в этом случае не упомянуть графическое оформление и анимацию персонажей - грех. В игре очень красивое окружение, анимации персонажей выполнены отлично.
    Эта игра стала причиной покупки ps4, как в свое время ради игр этой серии, были приобретены ps2 и ps3.

    Such a legendary experience should not be forgotten. I've played Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and GoW 2 and 3, and i can say this is equally as good as GoW 3 or even better. Many say the idea that Kratos has a son take care of and to teach is stolen from TLoU, but it really isn't that much of it's own thing. You can see many similar tales in books, movies, and other games, but thisSuch a legendary experience should not be forgotten.

You can see many similar tales in books, movies, and other games, but this game really pulls off the emotion, and the Father-and-Son moments perfectly alongside it's great story and gameplay. The "semi-open" world of GoW 4 really gives a bunch of opportunities for collection, quest progression, and other things that could be possible in such game style.

    Not to mention the great soundtrack and Kratos' character development are very well done and give us a sense of the old games and mix them with a new feeling. Same applies to gameplay. Some complain some moves might be useless and meaningless, but you can find a way to make them useful if you test out combinations and other moves with them than just spamming buttons repeatedly like we were used to in the original GoWs. Great combat system overall and in general. a legendary experience to not be forgotten.

    God of war is not innovative in anything that it has to offer but this is the point the game just has to have the right options and balance experience to turn this itself into a masterpiece and that is what the new God of War does at the perfection

Everyone that owns a ps4 needs to play this just for the sheer experience of seeing a different side of Kratos and the amazing story told here,hats off to the team for making a game so great that it is without a doubt worth every dollar and worth its purchase. Do not listen to the bad reviews given for this game as they are mostly xbox fans trying to give this amazing game a bad name. If you own a ps4 you owe it to yourself to have this game in your collection. Expand

    If we were honest God of war deserve more than a 10/10 because this game is beyond this score and it makes it look like a bad one

    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.
