    God of War, although being both a reboot to a hack and slash series and an IP from a AAA company, succeeds immensely in giving you a story of a man teaching his son to be a god, and a son teaching his father to be human.

    Through their journey, Kratos is trying to be a father for Atreus, and Atreus is trying to be a good son, showing his knowledge for Kratos, and Kratos teaching the boy, it’s a nostalgic game, and this game is for the old fans and also for the new people who wants to play a game from this saga, and this is a good one to start, for me this is the best game of this saga,, the gameplay is really good, when you attack an enemy, you feel the axe attacking them, so this game his a perfect story with perfect gameplay, and a good performance on PS4, so this is a PERFECT GAME, play it if you can

    Only thing I could say negatively is, I wish the gear was a deeper system. There was nothing wrong with it all all. But personally I like more complicated gear systems. This was a very streamlined system because they certainly wanted this to not be a focus of this particular game. So I cant in good faith hold that against its score from me.

    10/10, an experience that shows the best of the PS4 Generation of games.

    Great ''new'' story with our former God of War. Kratos who this time shows us his delicate side as he traverses Midgard with his son Atresus in order to scatter the ashes of Atreus' mother during the journey, the relationship between the two changes drastically.
    It's worth playing the game just for the story itself, but the gameplay is also terribly satisfying.

    This is my favorite game of all time! Can not recommend it highly enough.

    From the first scene opening up to Kratos and Artreus, or “Boy” as Kratos calls him 99% of the time. When this game came out everyone was making Dad of War jokes. Which is absolutely true. The character development of the two main characters is incredible. The story opens up with Kratos and Boy looking for a specific tree so that they can cremate Kratos’ wife who had just passed away. The entire mission of the game is to spread her ashes at the highest peak in the realm. It is a very simple premise that is super emotionally rewarding all the way through. When something gets in their way, it is genuinely upsetting.

    Combat feels amazing the entire way through. The pace that you progress through the skill tree matches your progression throughout the game for the most part. So combat constantly feels fresh the whole time. When Artreus starts to get upgraded and can let out a volley of shock arrows that can stun a group, so that Kratos can come in with the Blades of Chaos and wreck everyone feels awesome! Taking down bosses that are 10 times your size is an accomplishment. Especially on the higher difficulties.

    I do not think that the game drags at all either. There are a lot of obstacles that get in the way of Kratos and Boy. They all make sense narratively though. Every time there was a setback. It wasn’t discouraging. It felt like there was just another hurdle that I had to overcome to complete the goal of getting to the highest peak.

    I just really enjoyed every second of this game. The opening cinematic got me emotionally invested in the journey. The exploration and cinematic nature of the camera and gameplay made me want to explore every inch of the world and find everything I could. The opening boss fight of the main antagonist shows off how great the combat can feel. From beginning to end. This game is absolutely incredible!! PLEASE play this game!

    I am going to start my NG+ RIGHT NOW!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best game I’ve played in a long time

    [Note: This is the only/first God of War game I have played]

    Gameplay: Everything controlled very well. The addition of the Blades of Chaos halfway through really added to spice up the gameplay. I did however prefer the axe and wouldn’t choose the blades when I had a choice (opposed to needed the blades since others were immune to the the frost axe) I did learn to like using them later into the game. The use needing to switch from the axe to the blades in the final baulder fight was really fun and a great idea. The “boss fights” were amazing. As for using Atreus’s arrows, once I obtained the shock arrows I only used those and not the light arrows in combat though, using them worked very well. Once I found runic attacks I liked using I never really changed them out for different ones. And they were normally the fist ones I got. I didn’t do the side quests during the main story although I may go back later (I just finished it) since I had a great time playing the game. [Updated note: Ive been playing the side quests and they’re really fun] The puzzles were great. There was never a dull moment. Mimir’s storys in the boat were really nice to listen to. I started waiting right by the dock for mimir to finish his storys.

    Story: Kratos and Atreus’s relationship coming closer was beautiful. Freya acting like a mother to Atreus was great to see. The end was beautifully done and really fulfilling. I really enjoyed it, so much. I haven’t wrote much on it but that’s not because I don’t love it so much. There was so much emotion in the story that I just ate up.

La historia es simplemente increíble, y durante el transcurso del juego podemos sentir todo tipo de emociones, ya sea tristeza, ira, algunas que otras carcajadas.... Y todo esto es gracias a los personajes que aparecen en él.

    Por otro lado, nos encontramos con un videojuego completísimo, en donde disponemos de infinidad de misiones secundarias, coleccionables y diversos enemigos que derrotar, y en dónde las mecánicas son bastantes diversas y variadas, aunque en algunos casos esto hace que sea difícil hacer uso de todas ellas y aprenderlas es complicado. Finalmente, respecto al apartado gráfico y artístico, me parece una obra de arte, ya que luce en todo momento de manera espectacular.
    Sin duda alguna, un juego que realmente merece la pena probar.

This game also has so much replayability and the New Game+ is fantastic. Easy 10/10. Expand

    This game came out with a lot of hype behind it and for once it was well deserved. Santa Monica brought back the God of War. The story and character writing was top notch and even the gaming environment were truly beautiful. You just have to play the game to experience it for yourself first hand.

    Simplesmente incrível, uma revitalização numa franquia consagrada, ver o jogo mais maduro e maior é uma satisfação incrível. É um god of war na sua essência, mas também é um game que você sente a emoção e o carinho da santa mônica

    In my opinion it’s THE best game I’ve ever played.
    First of all the graphics and visual are amazing. Never heard such fantastic soundtracks and the voices are also the best ones so far. But the best is the story. The story is soo damn good. It catches you from the start to the end. You are evolving with the characters, you feel with the characters, you want to be the character it’s so

It catches you from the start to the end. You are evolving with the characters, you feel with the characters, you want to be the character it’s so amazing. The character’s in the game are also great. The Norse mythology is so beautiful and the game made it even better. Everything has a lore behind it and is so deep. That’s why you will get more into the Norse mythology and watching videos about it to understand it all makes you even more hyped for the sequel god of war ragnarök. You want to play the game over and over again and there is still so much to do after you finish the story. Personally, I didn’t even find any negative point at the Game it’s just perfect. So regarding to everything this game is a 10/10 no doubt.

    Игра проходиться на "одном дыхании". Сюжет шикарный! Ты с открытым ртом слушаешь каждую фразу Катоса. По ночалу я хотел просто убить Атрея (он прям бесил), но потом по ходу игры Кратос его обучает и он становиться нормальным.

    Excellent combat that plays like a poem an excellent continuation to the story of Kratos. Only flaw I can say is that the bosses are repetitive.

    The game is a completely different style from the rest of this game series, and it turned out to be really wonderful. It had a great story and great gameplay, especially the physics of throwing the ax was wonderfully designed, and the design of the environments was really satisfying.

    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.
