In conclusion the game is a wholesome experience but definitely has some flaws… Expand

This game clearly goes for a blend of methodical combat like Dark Souls with more offensive focused pure hack and slash like the originals. That being said it does stumble in many areas of its combat. The importance of positioning is lessened since you and enemies all has be this slight "auto-positioning" feature attached to them thats glides you or the enemy to a position where the attack thrown can connect. Which leads to the game sometimes moving you towards on enemy you had no intentions of attacking first. The game has a very half assed rpg system, its camera is too close for alot of the encounters it puts you in although the fact that the player can attack and move the camera can negate this issue in many cases, its can still lead to some frustrating deaths. However, the combat can force you into being far more thoughtful in your approach because of its camera as well. The main theme of the combat imo is efficiency. Whats the most efficient way to dispatch every enemy. Going into combat with this mindframe made me appreciate it so much more. Playing on hard difficulty really forcus you to think about each encounter. Yeah i can throw my axe from a safe distance over and over but thats slow, tedious, and not very on higher difficulties. I can go straight into an encounter mashing r1 or trying to be as cool as possible but thats an easy way to be hit from behind. Instead ill charge up axe r2, freeze an enemy in place for a few seconds to immobilize him, switch to blades to and pull his frozen body towards me. As hes frozen I position myself towards a cliff or wall then kick him to instantly pulverize him. I could use more examples but I'd be writing this all day. The point is the combat is more about defeating enemies in the most efficient way possible rather than looking cool or being a defensive shell the whole time. Its very unique and hopefullt they can refine these aspects further in its sequels.… Expand

    The is beautiful with head blowing scenes from time to time. The story is just nice but with no major flaws.I think that the "now we have it, oh no we have another step..." is too repetitive with no true cliffhanger. The side quests are good (some very good).

    After playing the game I have to say I was disappointed. Not because it was a bad game but because I got too hyped up by all the 10/10 Reviews. The game itself is good but far from perfect.

Why do theyAfter playing the game I have to say I was disappointed. Not because it was a bad game but because I got too hyped up by all the 10/10 Reviews. The game itself is good but far from perfect. The first problem is the handling of the lore which is done really bad. An example for this would be the first shrine you find telling you about two giant wolfs who chase the sun and moon. Why do they chase them? Where do they come from? These are just two of the questions left open by the very little information given in the shrine. In fact there is no further information on them than what I already said and the questions left behind are never answered, which is the case with all shrines. The second bad thing is the world. Midgard, which is the main area of the game, is in same areans far too big so that it quickly feels repetitive if you encounter the same kind of location with nothing new or notable added to it. The other realms on the other hand are both small, really small, and bland. Though they are nice to look at they don't give a feeling of what that realm might look like beyond the places you have seen. The worst bit was when visiting one realm where you see several strange things that are essential to this realm and yet you learn nothing about them making it impossible to get any feeling for these places. The last problem is the story. While it starts good and strong it gets dull rather soon. After five hours into the story it fells even meaningless to some extend. The main story is the journey to the top of the highest mountain and when you supposedly reach this mountain you find out that it isn't the highest one and so spent 80% of your journey with finding a portal to the right mountain, not even with going there on your own but to find a portal. The end boss, whom I don't want to spoil, feels incredible meaningless to the point that I didn't even realise that it was the endboss until the credits rolled. The story reuses the same small range of characters so often that it eventually feels like that moment when deadpool asked where the other X-Men were and whether they simply couldn't afford the big guys so they had to bring in the small side characters no one knew. If not for the great visuals, the good gameplay and the, at first, incredibly thrilling story I would probably score the game a 5/10. Its a decent or even good game but not the game of the generation and most certainly not a 10/10.… Expand

It was a "good game" with major flaws in the form of (mostly) lackluster and/or unpolished content at launch, but it's good bones carried it through. The Foundation and Pathfinder updates were like calcium and skin to those bones, and Atlas rises was the vital organs, and I suspect the NEXT update to be the muscle, to truly bring this game to the "E3" version everyone is hoping for. Multiplayer will most likely get a more traditional revamp and it's going to be free, like all DLCs have been since day one and for the foreseeable future. Honestly, all they need to iron out is the variety (adding more assets for all things), animal animations and a.i. tweeks and more exploration variety in planets and space. The game is a giant canvas with just a corner of the picture painted...can't wait to see it fill out.… Expand

As for the story is an interesting one, and still feels like a God of War one, it excels in the character department, almost everyone is so remarkable, well acted and well scripted, everyone except for that "boy", is just an exposition device but an annoying one, I didn't buy that this kid grew in the wild, feels more like a spoiled suburban brat and also for the most part his relationship with Kratos feels too artificial, and speaking of Kratos he's still an amazing and cool character.

    In the end even the repetitive combat, the repetitive enemies (I think there's like only 3 unique boss fights in the game, everything else is just reskinned enemies), the annoying kid, etc, don't stopped me for finishing this game, is a fun ride but is way too far to be a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Basically the game has repetitive mini bosses which seem kind of dull, not only because they look the same (with small variations) but the cinematic finisher for absolutely all of them is the same, so after the 4th Troll/Ogre/valkyrie (and won't be the last) it's just like well ok.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline is beautiful, and learning that Atreaus is Loki at the end leaves so much to be desired in the sequel. My knocking of 2 points comes from how it seems that the other realms seem under developed or overlooked. Since there are 3 realms I never get to visit, and aside from Midgard being fully developed but the other realms seemingly empty aside from some NPCs, it felt like the story could have been extended to involve them.
    Another thing that annoyed me was how coming from God of War III, I was hoping to battle against numerous Gods like Odin, Thor, Sif, Bragi, etc. The other thing is when I was fighting the gatekeeper of Helheim, it was basically just another troll. I would have loved to see more variation in the design.
    Thankfully, I feel like this was a good origins story, but these things should really be addressed in the sequel to this game.    … Expand

The acting, the graphics, the music, the fighting mechanics are so smooth and the skill trees are easy to understand. The armor upgrading is less clear, especially as there are limited resources, you can get lost. But that's related to where it truly fails, in its "open world" and end game integration into/alongside the core story. I had never played any of the God of War games as I'm not into linear story games. I love open world. So when I started seeing it being referred to as open world by many reputable game sites along side high reviews, I went all in. Unfortunately, it is NOT a true open world. It's a hub world which is very different, and there are different strategies, especially depending where you are on the spectrum in terms of 100% competition. I don’t need 100%, but I absolutely love some side quests to flesh out the story and to amp my power FOR the end battle which is typical of open world. That's not really how this game is built, and had I know that, a lot of angst and feelings of time drain could have been avoided in scaling my strategy appropriately. This was compounded by some really bad time estimates that were handed out.

    The sides story wise are fantastic. The way the boat time is handled, the character development, it’s all really good. The fantastic character development in the extras makes me want the sides in the middle, as paced out between core story plot points/battles delivers the most emotional satisfaction. But fight wise, it doesn’t work at all. I felt like many of the sides were built as post game content (judging by level of fights to main story rewards), but available early without a good map. It was a struggle to find the appropriate level of side activity. Even the few in game hints weren’t reliable depending. If you tried to do everything as it became an open area, you’d be running into easy fights right next door be way too hard. Trying to explore just got really frustrating with lots of walls. Some backing off or recrossing areas if fine, but it was too often. Also note nothing re spawns either, so if you get 2/3rds through an area before having to back off for any reason (such as not having a locked weapon), it's boring coming back and just feels draining. Plus, that amazing background story telling caps out eventually and things don’t respawn, so if you didn’t hit everything just right, you can have some really quiet and boring completionism questing if you want 100%. If you do push through higher level sides, you also end up making the bosses rather pitiful. Unbalanced sides (to current story point) really undermined the core “high” points.

    Some advocate just doing all the sides at the end to avoid a lot of that, but then you really miss out on the reward of it from an XP/gear perspective and miss the character growth immersion alongside the core story. You could switch around the challenge level but that throws you out of being immersed. There is one extra tough side boss, the Valk Queen, and had just the Valks been the end game content and made truly only available at the end (or guided to wait on them), the balance would have been better. Still provide an optional “extra hard” bonus for those that desire the fighting over story, but even then, the reward from the Valks has ZERO use right now beyond karma points, unless they add a +New Game.

    Basically, the core of the game, story and execution were great. But they missed on what an open world was, or missed in letting it be advertised as such. Even as a hub, appropriate map/narrative leads or respawning of monsters and materials to keep the quests fun exploring rather than an unfun gated maze is missing. The core story is a 10/10, I do hope they can improve on this one area and get the next installment as a whole there.    … Expand

    Cory Barlog is one of the best game designers, but he is not flawless and may have succumbed to the general needs of the masses, or would have liked to please the masses, which is a grave error. This installment has several errors which prevents this game to dethrone the crown jewel of the series, also helmed by Balrog, God of War 2. GOW2 sported catching visuals and animations, tight storytelling, visceral combat so a thrill from the get go till the very end. All of these focused like a coherent laser beam and fed to the gamer intravenously. No distractions, just the gist: limbs flying, jaws droppin.

    This reboot is also perfect aesthetically, it’s visuals are stunning, got the usual over the top content, though far less pleasing than it’s predecessors. The combat is sadly sub-par, some of the enemies sport kinda strange movesets (The ancients), like they are straight from a Transformers movie and there are serious problems balance wise because of the unneeded RPG elements in the game. You can customise your armour, your weapons and the more time you spend with completing the numerous side quests the better gear you get and more experience you can spend on special abilities. The problem is… If you complete most of the side quests and then continue the main questline… well, then you will be way overpowered and will toss the enemies to the side like your used underwear. I just kinda scratched my head when level 6 enemies (realm tear Hel reavers) can be killed at level 2 or with an overpowered Atreus you can kite them and come out victorious. Also you kinda feel overwhelmed by the numerous enchantments, sockets and other RPG esque content. This doesn’t add anything besides several hours of mostly repetitive gameplay content which perfectly kills the game balance. GOW never was a full blown RPG like Witcher, but the creators strived to make it one, and failed. Well, please forget about this nonsense. God of War was always about perfect storytelling, over the top combat, tearing enemies apart limb by limb and not fiddling about idiotic gemstones, enchantments and other Wow style never ending RPG content. Just one big hell of a march. Of Course Santa Monica will not tear this newly introduced gameplay element from the game, but it should tone it down to a level where it is acceptable. What about putting chests where content deserves and not literally everywhere. When I saw another chest in the middle of the game kinda felt like throwing up. Uhh, the 257th chest, it will contain another used garment… Game elements like these are overused and in overall the content - especially the bosses - isn’t that tight like we used to be. Too much creative sauce went down the drain because of the newly introduced RPG elements.

    It’s very hard to balance a game where it’s up to the user which path to choose. The original GOW games felt absolutely perfect, because all you had to do is move, fight and watch the content in awe. Now you have to do the same with several distractions. So if you want a pleasurable gameplay experience, do not fiddle with the side quests too much, just do the main storyline. Kratos went through some minor brainwashing to please the masses and he also got a tie and a suit and has to wear it because sales numbers or who knows why. This franchise needs some extra love. More monsters, more tactical and harder combat, less mouth feeding, less borrowing from famous franchises, more and varied gore... so fixing, a lot.    … Expand

    I am here to give my first review on this site, and what will also be one of my most important to me.

    I picked up god of war a single day after release, and got right into it on the middle difficulty (Give me a Balanced Experience). I am a returning fan of the series, having played GoW (PS2, PS3) GoW 2 (PS2, PS3) and GoW 3, as well as Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus (Not ascension    I am here to give my first review on this site, and what will also be one of my most important to me.

    I picked up god of war a single day after release, and got right into it on the middle difficulty (Give me a Balanced Experience). I am a returning fan of the series, having played GoW (PS2, PS3) GoW 2 (PS2, PS3) and GoW 3, as well as Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus (Not ascension though).

    I will try to avoid spoiling as much as I can of this games storyline, but the base information about it is that you are trying to bring Atreus mothers ashes to the top of the highest peak in all the realms, and on this journey you have to (Of course, with all god of war games) Carve a pathway through foes. Now, on to the Gameplay mechanics:
    Combat: I loved the combat, in my personal opinion the combat is very smooth, providing fun gameplay unless you prefer to stay at a distance (Which is unfortunately basically mandatory for Give me God of War difficulty for a good long while) The enemies are rather well balanced out, I personally only have issues with Revenant opponents. The combat can get rather dull though, if you decide to stick to one type of combat (Like staying with Leviathan or the second weapon, or even melee) So I prefer personally to mix up my combat.
    Storyline: The storyline is great, in all honesty. I do dislike the sheer amount of Cutscenes you have to go through though, and wish that they would've added a skip option at the very least, however other then that one issue (Which is rather small, in my opinion) I would say the storyline is good, however I do dislike how Kratos isn't as close to the original bloodthirsty spartan he used to be, but at the same time he does have a son now and wants to bury his past and shield Atreus from it.
    Replayability/Playability: The game is long, very, very long. The storyline can take a while to complete, I think 12 hours? The amount of work for a completionist though is double, possibly TRIPLE that however. There was actually meant to be a NG+ (New Game +) But it wasn't able to be finished in time, and I am sure they will add it in future updates
    Graphics: There isn't much to say here other then the fact that the graphics are beautiful. My personal favorite realm to go to is Muspelheim or Alfheim, as they are honestly the best looking realms (Considering the Realm Travel Room and actual looks and designs of them)

    Overall, I absolutely love God Of War, I do not think it falls short of its other titles at all, and is a bold attempt to go a new direction, and look forward to Santa Monica Studios next God of War game. However my only gripe is that New Game Plus is currently not in game, which would add a whole new level of gameplay for me to do at the very beginning, but Give me God of War is enough to satisfy me for now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s different from the other god of war games I’ve played, at first I disliked how the combat looked but then I played it for myself and fell in love with the whole game. The combat isn’t your regular hack and slash from previous god of war games, but that doesn’t make it any less fun, the graphics are good and I never got any fps drops throughout the whole game while playing on the regular PS4, the environment is beautiful and you learn more about the story the more you explore. Which brings me to the reason it’s a 8 and not a 10, the story in general is pretty much taking a pouch of Kratos’s wife’s ashes to the highest peak and spread it, and fighting Baldur a long the way and that’s it. You meet 3 or 4 people a long the way who aren’t very interesting and you have to do a lot of exploring and boat rowing to find out more about the characters in the world and the lore behind them, I said a lot of boat rowing because mimir tells a lot of stories about the gods when you guys are in the boat. I find sitting in the boat listening to mimirs stories more interesting than running around with ashes trying to throw them from the highest peak. So the game is short and doesn’t take long to finish when focusing on the main objective, exploring and doing side activities will take up most of your time. The game took me 2-3 days to 100% complete and platinum. It’s a great game and I hope they do more for the story in the next god of war.

    Pros - Great combat system, the environment is beautiful, good graphics and good frame rate, the more is very interesting and you get a funny head to travel with later in the game.

    Cons - The main story/objective isn’t interesting at all, main story is short, the other characters you meet are boring and you have to spend a decent amount of hours exploring and boat rowing in order to learn more about the lore and story behind some of the gods mentioned in the game.    … Expand

    One of the better crafted games of this generation, GoW was an engaging experience and a fun one. However, I felt like they took many elements from other games.

    It's a great game but not worthy of the 'best of all time' that some claim it to be. Travelling from one area to another is tedious.

The upgrades that can be found are generally useless and when I completed the main story, I had a feeling of 'Surely this isn't it'. The climbing system is pretty useless and seems to be trying to copy Unchartered/Tomb Raider but there is no need for it. Sometimes you need to mash Circle to move an object, sometimes it is part of a cinematic- there is no consistency in this regard. The fighting elements are a bit of a let down in that button mashing generally gets the job done. If there were more skill and tactical planning needed to bring down enemies then it would be wholly more satisfying.

    That said, it is a beautiful looking game with a relatively engaging story. Load times are pretty good (apart from the 'fast travelling' which is disguised as an adventure to hide the loading time), the puzzles are engaging and well thought out. Boss fights are challenging and fun.

    If I were to recommend this game then it would be a resounding yes. But wait til you can get it for a dropped price. It is a fantastic game despite my grievances but they are only grievances borne out of a frustration of what it 'could have been'.    … Expand

    The game is GOOD. It is most certainly not excellent. It is not 10/10, not by a long shot:
    CONS
    -Uneven pacing
    -You'll be fighting the same enemies time and time again, so even though there is a good range of enemy variety, it is not enough
    -The game is just too long for its own good, it gets REPETITIVE.
    PROS
    -Beautiful
    -combat is fun, even though it will get repetitive
    -Amazing story

    The story and combat are among the best gaming has to offer. The other aspects aren't as impressive. I'd say this game is The Last of Us meets Dark Souls. Great story, great combat, complex enough for veterans but approachable enough for newbies like me. You can really feel the passion that the team at Santa Monica Studios poured into making this game.

    Luego de comprarlo a 10 en oferta, no me arrepiento de nada, todo lo contrario, de hecho cambio mi forma de ver el soft reboot de la franquicia, y cuanto lo necesitaba,
    Desde el ascencion se comenzaba viejo y obsoleto, así que fue lo mejor que pudieron hacer con la historia de Kratos, cual al principio pensaba que era un reboot total y no tnedria continuidad a la historia original, lo cual era otro motivo por que me mantenía alejado del juego.
    Por suerte supieron hacer la cosas bien y se siente como un juego nuevo.
    Todo el juego es literalmente un viaje, una aventura en toda regla donde ves cosas increíbles y conoces la historia del mundo en el que esta kratos ahora, pero mejor aun, esta fielmente basada en la mitología nórdica, osea no todo aquí es inventado, casi nada de hecho, así que ademas de contarte una historia, te enseña una mitología que existe en la vida real, esos suman puntos extras en mi opinión,
    El diseño del mapa supera por mucho a cualquier god of war anterior no solo fascinantes que son, si no por que puedes explorarlos y no tienes una cámara casi isometrica que no te deja ver mucho como los anterior GoW.
    Lo malo del juego es la poca variedad de enemigos que hay, es copia y pega de unos cuantos, con todos los colores y sabores que hay, en eso si decepciono algo.

The combat is kind of like "Dark Souls lite" with it's own unique game play, specifically the throwing axe. The music was top notch. The biggest let down however was the ending, which felt abrupt and anti-climactic. There a lot to do and collect in this game however after the end of the disappointing story I didn't feel compelled to complete it 100%. There is also a lack of interesting boss battles and a lack of variety in enemies and finishers which became boring to see very quickly unlike Doom 2016. A lot of the gear upgrades seem worthless or not useful and some of the move upgrades are unnecessary. Overall I had a good time playing God of War, it's far from the masterpiece that gaming sites have made it out to be, it's close but ultimately misses the mark; there are some great moments and some dull moments however it feels like half a story and hopefully it has a satisfying conclusion in the sequel.… Expand

God of war слишком линейная и коридорная игра для меня, на сюжетных уровнях было прям физически некомфортно на этих узких кишках, с повсевместными невидимыми стенами, с камерой, практически вплотную закреплённой за спиной, и всё это под управлением замедлившегося по сравнению со старой версией себя Кратоса, который теперь всё делает нарочито медленно, а про существование прыжков и вовсе забыл. Ко всему вышеперечисленному, к сожалению, я так в полной мере и не привык, даже пройдя игру и убив всех валькирий. Также нельзя не отметить, что на базовой плойке, графика в разы уступает оной на PRO версии консоли, также как и в плане оптимизации. Во всём остальном: это настолько вылизанный и продуманый продукт, что все эти оценки и премии неудивительны, хоть на мой взгляд игра слегка и переоценена.

    Итак: Для любителей хороших историй здесь в наличии крепкий сюжет с хорошей постановкой и проработанными характерами персонажей, для любителей исследовать и изучать мир - открытый для исследования мир, с кучей опциональных локаций, и не надоевшие вышки, как сейчас принято, а более естественное исследование мира, за что разработчикм большой респект, даже банальный сбор лута и сундучков они оформили в интересный челлендж с метанием топора, а уж что касаемо других встречаемых активностей, то здесь вообще не заскучаешь, тут и освобождение драконов, и хардкорные битвы с валькирями, и интересные испытания муспульхейма и даже автоматически-генерируемый рогилик в нифльхейме для любителей гринда, также в игре большое множество стычек разных мастей, от мелких врагов из различных разломов, до огромных троллей. Что касаемо боевой системы: здесь есть вариативная прокачка боевых навыков, включающаю в себя прокачку топора, щита, цепей, рукопашки, всё это, вкупе с прокачкой пацана и руническими атаками даёт возможность экспериментировать с тактикой и делать что-то уникальное в каждом бою, а уж возможностей для боя в мире этой игры вагон и маленькая тележка.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра-то охуенная. Не понимаю почему так много отзывов с негативом в сторону Santa Monica из-за того что они ушли от "классики" в виде press X to win, коими были все предыдущие части серии на сложности начиная со средней. Игра прогрессирует, и я этому рад. Взяв только позитивный опыт souls-like игр с их перекатами и таймингами, разработчики выдали одну из самых лучших боевок со времён Royal Guard в DMC3. Возвраты топора это вообще бомба, очень сильный упор сделан на комбинации, комх в игре можно придумать великое множество и они не прописаны по типу трёх квадратов в мортал комбат. Разочаровало лишь их однообразное исполнение (но ни в коем случае не разнообразие, т.к. они достаточно свободные и при наличии небольшой толики воображения можно создавать комбо длиною в вечность не повторяя движений) — все комбо основаны на одной кнопке и выполняются с чередованием пауз. Ветви прокачки этих навыков радуют — можно использовать всего понемногу, можно драться одними кулаками со щитом. Порадовали рунические атаки — можно одеть достаточно сильного "магического" Кратоса с упором в рунические статы. В общем, простор для билдов огромный.
    Отлично проработана логика школьника Атрея — в зависимости от костюма двигается соответственно боевому стилю. Нельзя недооценивать его умения, ибо он невероятно силён при каче его лука. Его ИИ вообще пушка, в бою не мешает, а если кооперироваться с ним и играть от его захватов — можно проводить виртуозные драки с использованием оглушения.
    Не улыбнула сюжетная линия, как только я вошёл во вкус, она сразу же закончилась. Для меня это было каким-то ударом, что-ли. Гринда экипировки абсолютно нет — можно пройти игру на повышенной сложности с бомжовым ансет шмотом забивая на прлсьбы гномов и доп. квесты.
    У игры нет какого-то линейного прохождения, по пути ты часто встречаешь задания которые можешь и не выполнить из-за перевеса в уровне противника. Не понятно, как разрабы видели прохождение игры, в связи с этим у меня осталось негативное впечатление от сюжетки — игру прошёл, а мир так и не посмотрел. Благо потом остались валькирии, Муспкльхейм и Нифльхейм — там можно ещё долго тусоваться после завершения основной сюжетной линии, но как-то странно всё это. Почему нельзя было интегрировать их куда-то внутрь сюжета, а не оставлять на потом?

    Ну что могу сказать по самой игре...
    Плюсы:
    1)Постановка - одной из особенностью игры является то, что всё ведётся "одним дублем", как в том же "Бёрдмэне"; постановка просто восхитительна, камера зачастую берёт максимально пафосные, эпичные и крутые планы.
    2)Геймплей - говорю по личным ощущениям. Мне эта игра показалась помесью Souls-like и слэшера, потому что от всех этих уворотов, кувырков, сильных/слабых ударов и прочего - ловятся Лордранские флешбеки. Особенно это чувствуется в битвах с Валькириями, где без прямых рук - не пройти.
    3)Ощущение боёвки - хоспаде, ощущение бросков и ударов Левиафаном и Клинками Хаоса - просто божественны. Sony SantaMonica провели просто божественную работу над вибрацией Дуалшока и ощущением отдачи.
    4)Сюжет - сюжет короткий, интересный и крайне локальный. Крайне надеюсь на его развитие в следующих частях, особенно после такого клифхенгера в виде Тора в конце игры.
    5)Музыкальное сопровождение - музыку вне игры не слушал, но как же она шикарно подходит самой игре - пафосно, эпично, К Р У Т О.
    6)Графен - завезли, он прекрасен. Удивительно, что такая старушка, как PS4fat его тянет.
    7) С Ы Н
    Минусы:
    1)Боссы - однообразные, скучные, сука, Элементали и Тролли... Но Бессмертный Дрищ крут, очень.
    2)Дизайн локаций и бэктрекинг - бляха, ненавижу бэктрекинг - БЕГАТЬ НАЗАД ЗА ВСЯКИМ ДЕРЬМОМ ЭТО ЖЕ ТАААААААААК ВЕСЕЛО, ДА. А ещё очень сильно раздражало, что могущественный Кратос не может перепрыгнуть или спрыгнуть не с предусмотренных игрой мест.
    3)Унылый дроч. И под этим я имею в виду Нильфхейм и всякую фигню по типу Петухов Одина, разбитых горшков, трансформаторных Ш-пластин и прочего коллекционного мусора. Это просто раздражает.

There were only basically like 3 boss battles, only one against a big monster, and that felt very "tame" compared to what Kratos did in the past games.
    However, I do think that a slow start is better for the story here. It would not make sense for Kratos to go kill 37627 Gods right away when he clearly wants nothing to do with that anymore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a modern good looking action game with a very good Story. Kratos and his Son will go on a beatiful Journey together to find Peace for their beloved Mother and Wife, On the way there they will learn a lot about the world, the culture and about themselves.

    Story

    Very well written, it lost me for a few moments, cause I didnt connect to the Son when he got to know that he is a god, but besides that it was brutally good. Very well voice acted and Kratos is just a very good Character.

    Atmosphere/Graphics

    It looks stunning, some rare drops in performance and some weird looking HDR, but all in all a beatiful Game. For me the Nordic Mythology is very interesting and it was a little bit sad that they didnt got deeper into the Lore. The worlds could have been more meaningful and also bigger. Two of them are just for an Activity in the Game (Arena).

    The creatures and gods/godesses are very nice chosen and looking phenomenal. But I wanted more of it, like I said I love the Mythology and I know its more about the Path of both characters, but for me a little bit more around it would be better, especially in the lots of minibosses (they are all the same only in different colours).

    Gameplay

    The Fighting and abilities are so good. It was so much Fun to fight and combo the many possibilites that you have, also Atreus is very helpful. I hate the Leveling system, it wasnt fun at all and the metroidvania aspect didnt catched me.

    So Gameplay was for me the most difference in Qualitiy.

    Summary

    So you have to play this Game its really stunning but it comes with some flaws, which they can easily get rid of in a second part. 8/10    … Expand

    2. Story is a great point of the game. It's about developing the relations between Kratos and Atreus. Something I can compare to Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us. Their experiences help them to become closer to each other and it feel really satisfying, not fake or exaggerated.
    3. Characters. I have a problem with them. Except Kratos and Atreus, I did not feel any of them. They had their own reasons for their behaviour and motivation, but there were only few characters through the whole game, so I feel that they could've been better developed and shown.
    Overall I think this game deserves 8.5/10.

    I never played any God of War and only looked at Kratos' past story to be up to date for this game.

As mentioned, I haven't played any of the earlier games, but I thought norse mythology was very well connected to Kratos and vice versa. The humor brought in by the contrast of characters also works very well.

    Also a great soundtrack. The music was often not in the foreground, but when it stood out, it reminded me a lot of the lord of the rings movies, which is pretty damn good.

    The game is obviously gorgeous. Very colorful and shiny. To the point where I personally did not enjoy it as much anymore, because visual clues get lost easily and especially in tough combat situations, sensory overload is a constant problem. But in slow moments I can really appreciate it. Visually, it feels a lot more like a Marvel-movie than it should.

    The combat is fine. I personally think it makes little sense to have a literal, immortal god be killed VERY fast by some undead goons but maybe that's just me. Most enemies are okayish in terms of design and boss battles are largely enjoyable. I definitely think there are some (very) cheap aspects to some enemies/bosses, but never in story/mandatory instances so I don't think it's too big of a deal.

    However, it really feels unresponsive as hell. While animation-cancelling is a thing, they really did not go through with it. Blocking- and Sprinting-inputs are constantly ignored and that's kinda a deal-breaker, especially since they are crucial in terms of how battles are designed.
    There are also red circles that appear around enemies, when an unblockable attack is about to happen. The timing on those is horrible. Sometimes they appear half a second before impact, sometimes 2 seconds before. This really is annoying and enemies tend to "float" towards me mid-attack, which looks horrible.

    Menus are not very intuitive. While it's not an Excel-sheet by any means, I feel like they tried to make it as unappealing as possible. It's not a problem if you want to enjoy the story, but everything apart from that kinda needs gear- and ability-management. Those things are no fun and communication to the player on which effects are useful or not is nonexistent. I mainly stuck to one set of abilities because everything else seemed a huge waste of time.

    The world makes no sense, honestly. While it's really cool to walk Midgard and other places of Norse mythology, the level-design does not follow any kind of "lore"-rules (for lack of a better word). Countless chests with crafting materials everywhere (why are they there?) and crooks and crannies everywhere simply to hide something not worth hiding. While traversing is generally fun (although collecting everything really isn't), you're not allowed to question anything since that'll make it fall apart quickly.
    (link omitted per site rules)

    Overall, I enjoyed the experience greatly, but post-game is just work without any fun and there are weirdly off-putting things, that should be really obvious to game-designers    … Expand

To start off, althoughFirst and foremost God of War is a very impressive game to look at and to marvel its technical prowess. But, it's not a game that I ever got completely absorbed by (aside for some brief sequences scattered throughout). The general high praise for it is certainly valid and I am in agreement on the qualities which have given the game its numerous awards and popularity. To start off, although this review is 2 years late, the graphics are still much better than those of most games today, if not all but a few. The visuals are beautiful, the way the game moves and feels has pushed the boundaries for games— at the time it came out I probably couldn't name a game that looked and felt more technically polished on a surface level. At first I wasn't much of a fan of the combat as it felt kind of sluggish and monotonous with the introductory enemy encounters, but with more playtime I started to really enjoy and appreciate the level of detail put into fighting as Kratos. What at first seemed a combat design too heavy and slow soon became satisfyingly precise and nuanced-- you can feel the weight and power of Kratos’ axe, which starts feeling great and controlled with repetition, getting practice with all of the movement and timing of Kratos' abilities and whatnot. So the game really gains momentum because of this expanding comfortability with and fun of fighting. The combat is not perfect by any means, however. It can become a little too repetitive with the common enemies that Kratos' faces, but never to the point of annoyance due to how fun it can be to fight any one large group of mythical creatures.
    What was somewhat lacking in the game for me was actually the pace of the whole thing. The story with its Norse mythological ties was interesting and well-implemented into the world for the most part. I enjoyed hearing your talking head of a companion Mímir relate his ties to the Norse gods and mythology. Though the main thread of the game story was a bit weak, or just felt slightly underwhelming in terms of how it carried the game forward. There are many brief intervals of dullness in the game. I'd be uncertain whether to explore some of the outer areas of the world or just continue with the main story. The game's somewhat passive suggestions to explore the realms and go on side quests conflicted with the main story. So this seemed to take away from the immersion into Kratos and Atreus’ personal quest at hand. Why should we go to that place? Just to play a mini game or trial that has no consequence to the story. Albeit these side quests and challenges are generally fun and in that sense they are positive aspects of the game--the Valkyrie fights were one of the highlights of the game. But usually, the optional quests seemed like extra material to stuff in to the game to ensure more playability. More linearity would be good in this case, at least in terms of the player's objective. If more of the exploration were connected with Kratos' and Atreus' journey instead of being optional and seemingly inconsequential, then the game would have been more powerful.
    To conclude this rambling, I definitely want to make clear that God of War is a damn good game. Great in visuals, combat, sound, attention to detail and atmosphere. It does fantastically in bringing Norse mythology to life, often informative and relevant to anyone interested in the ancient lore. I have only played parts of the earlier God War installments, but it doesn't surprise me that this is labeled as the best yet. It is no joke of a game experience. However, it needed more narrative immersion, less of the in-between an open world and cinematic action-adventure, and a stronger conclusion for it to be considered one of the greats of the generation. Though it's still a game that every gamer should definitely try for how fun and seamless the gameplay is and to note the great care and detail put into the surrounding world and lore, even if all the parts don’t come together most effectively.    … Expand

I was always feeling as the game was leading to show us Thor and Odin or important gods, but we never see them.
    It also shows three realms in the game that we can never access throughout the game. When the game ended I was a little disappointed since I was convinced I would go to Asgard or the other realms. This all made me feel like I was cut short and that I was forced to buy god of war 5 when it comes out in order to experience the whole story.

    Experiencia única la que aporta este God of War 4 que deja a un lado la violencia de los anteriores para centrarse en una historia muy madura de padre e hijo.

    Jugabilidad excepcional, gráficos impresionantes consiguiendo una optimización perfecta, una banda sonora que no deja indiferente a nadie, una historia que te obliga a no dejar de jugar nunca por su fluidez narrativa y un reparto de doblaje a la altura de esta obra.

    En cuanto a lo negativo, la repetitividad. Para ser un juego basado en la pelea cuerpo a cuerpo, los enemigos tienen pocas mecánicas, cada enemigo tiene 3 o 4 ataques o menos que repetirán, y hay poca variedad de estos. Los bosses, repitiendo la fórmula de los combates normales (pocos tipos de ataques y pocas mecánicas) son, tal vez, un poco decepcionantes, pudiendo hacer los combates un tanto aburridos. Aunque todo esto, lo puede suplir Kratos y sus impresionantes combos.

    Sin duda un juego que todo el mundo debería jugar.    … Expand

    This is a breath of fresh air for the previously stagnant God Of War series.

The boss fights are fun, the soundtrack is absolutely astonishing, the graphics are really impressive, and the cinematic set-pieces are a spectacle to behold. My only real negatives would be that the fast travel mechanic is not very good, the RPG elements feel somewhat tacked on, and the pacing slows down a bit too much towards the end. Otherwise, this is an excellent game and I cannot wait for the sequel!… Expand

    Great game with cool world building and fighting mechanics. I found the puzzles interesting overall but sometimes find the timed ones irritating. Liked the main story and voice acting, but found some of the side quests felt a little bit pointless. The armour upgrade doesn’t seem overly intuitive and I also found accessibility features to be lacking.

    Its an awesome game with a great story but every character feels bland and empty
    Visuals are awesome with amazing attention to detail
    Gameplay is good and servable enough for me not to complain about it The only character I cared about was kratos and sometimes atreus(which the game forces you to) What annoyed me was the valkyries and how hard they were to beat.I have no problem with    Its an awesome game with a great story but every character feels bland and empty

    What annoyed me was the valkyries and how hard they were to beat.I have no problem with hard games but this one was annoying because kratos is a GOD so it was unnecessary to be this hard.
    In general it was a game with a lot of boring characters and stupid rpg elements but definitely a good story with nice visuals and gameplay    … Expand

    Too many bosses that are the same. Otherwise. Absolutely amazing. The story is mind blowing and the gameplay is insanely professional.

    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.
