    God of War that is that type of game that is almost impossible not to like and what Santa Monica Studio has done in terms of changes in the game without a doubt the right card played, an incredible game for one of the most outstanding characters in the world of video games, of course one of the best games in history

    Juego que destaca por todo su contenido. No le sobra ni le falta nada, cuenta con una historia excelente y jugabilidad excelente, contando con los detalles típicos de un God of War. Otro aspecto más que destacable es la implementación de la mitología nórdica, la cual hace que el juego sea sumamente didáctico a la par que disfrutable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really liked the fights with enemies and bosses in the game, the story of Kratos and Atreus taking their mother's ashes to the highest peak of the seven kingdoms is very good, all the fights against Baldo are Spectacular and the ending when they go back home they go to sleep and wake up with Thor at their door is amazing! I recommend buying the game immediately after the video game. Expand

    God Of War 2018.
    I loved all of the God Of War games however, this one was special.
    It was a new take on the series and the new game play was an improvement from the repetitive hack and slash that the series was known for. The story was amazing and the one shot fight scenes were epic, the set pieces were impeccable and the combat.... my god!! Amazing!

    everything is incredible about this work of art. Santa Monica takes an enormous risk for this game but surprisingly, all of them work well. it is literally a real reboot that fans of this huge franchise including me have been expecting for many years. thanks Santa Monica and Sony.

The game will certainly go down in history for its stylistic quality of graphics and, in particular, for its impeccable combat system. I loved this game for the possibilities of the combat system, for the ability to choose from various techniques to create your own style of combat, which is truly diverse and spectacular. You want to improve in skill and increase the complexity of the game by replaying it again and again. There are several versions of difficulty, the highest difficulty is the God of War, challenges you, after which you can add a sport mode in the settings that makes the game even more difficult, and then go through it on the game +. It should be noted that Game + brings changes not only in increasing the health of opponents, but also changes their behavior and this gives additional meaning and a challenge to replay the game. So this game should rightfully go down in history as an indicator of the quality and polish of all its components, this is an example of what quality can be achieved when the sincere desire of the developer to create a quality product and the money allocated for it coincide. This game takes its rightful place on my shelf of masterpieces and has been in first place for a year now. Thank you so much for your sincere work in creating this excellent game!

Я полюбил эту игру за возможности боевой системы , за возможность выбирать из различных приемов создавать свой стиль боя , который по настоящему разнообразый и зрелещный. Тебе хочется совершенствоваться в мастерстве и увеличивать сложность игры , перепроходя ее снова и снова. Есть несколько версий сложности , самая высокая сложность Бог войны , бросает тебе вызов , после чего ты можешь добавить в насройках спортанский режим который делает игру еще сложнее , а после пройти ее на игре+ . Нужно отметить что Игра+ , приносит изменения не только в увеличиге здоровья противников , но и меняет их поведение и это дает дополнительный смысл и вызов перепройти игру. Итак это игра по праву должна войти в историю как показатель качества и отполированности всех ее составляющих , это пример того какого качества можно достигать когда совпадает искреннее желания разработчика зделать качественный продукт и денег которые выделяются на него. Эта игра занимает своё достойное место на моей полке шедевров и покачто вот уже какой год она находися на первом месте. Огромное спасибо за искренний труд при создании этой превосходной игры!

Appropriate length for a game of its characteristics (between 16 and 20 hours of playthrough) and well-balance difficulty during the main campaign, including more challenging combats in the post-game. The combat mechanics are incredibly polished and have the variety to not becoming repetitive or dull at any moment while controlling Kratos.
    On the other side, the narrative has the proper pace and always leaves you excited to know more about the story of the Realms, our protagonists and everything which happened before the beginning of their legendary journey. Moreover, the characters are really interesting and the main story makes you wish to discover more of all of them, such as their background and motivations. All of this is supplemented with high-quality side quests, which almost turn into mandatory if you want to get the maximum quality this game has to offer.
    The downfall, if any, would be the lack of variety in the design of enemies and bosses, which does not hold back the gameplay experience at all.
    Overall, I found in God of War a revolutionary gaming experience which rebuilt one of the best franchises from the ground up, including new features and getting rid of others, achieving an outstanding final result: a must play for all PS4 owners.

    the story: THERE IS NO STORY LIKE THIS GAME
    the father son narrative is so good, combat is flashy yet effective to use, Enemy design and side characters are so good. Linearity of the game is good in this case. It can be compared to Last Of Us in terms of the character development. Repeat bosses doesnt bother me cos the world design is just that good.

    Un excelente "reinicio" a la saga del espartano más famoso del videojuego. Una jugabilidad más cercana y una respuesta en el gameplay muy satisfactoria, las tierras nórdicas le han sentado tan bien a Kratos que ahora tiene un hijo llamado Atreus. Su forma de utilizar el plano-secuencia hace de este juego una delicia.

    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.

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]
