    This game is pure joy to play! You do not have to play the first three games to play this one. There are some moments though that will make a long time fan smile. This is the best game that I've played for awhile. Another win for Sony.

    A Masterpiece Game ever made,

    it is obvious that all those reviews of 0 without arguments are frustrated fans of xbox sent by microsoft to affect a score that will not go below 9.

    A lot of salty xbox fanboys with no games to play and nothing better to do are giving this a 0 as predicted, but their pathetic attempts will never change the fact that this game is awesome.

    god of war has lost a lot of things. let me list them.
    first, the character. previous series were driven by it's character of Kratos. GoW killed it's character. Kratos somehow became father figure.
    secondly, it doesn't have catchy soundtrack like notorious 'rage of sparta'. this game is colorless tasteless. thirdly whenever I'm getting into combat, conversation starts out of nowhere and    god of war has lost a lot of things. let me list them.

    thirdly whenever I'm getting into combat, conversation starts out of nowhere and it inturrupts the concentration. and it was very annoying.
    next up, degraded action elements. in last series kratos was crazy flies every where punishes every thing, like a real warrior. he is now just a normal human. that's what I don't really like
    moving on, there is no more emotional driver. previous season, enemies taunted the principal character, and actually made me really want to punish them. and it never failed to gift me with sweet revenge. there is no more such thing in this game.
    plus, the game has failed to balance the difficulty level.
    I mean I get that GoW franchise had a lot of hype. but tediously simillar monsters make me really want to quit.

There is also a lot of thing to do in the game with a colossal lifespan which is very rare these days especially for solo games. Just buy this game if you are a old fan of the series or new!

    God of War (2018) surprises in so many ways – may it be small or big. It breaks with expectations and even if it follows tropes, it does it in a meaningful way and even acknowledges it in a fun and engaging way (i.e. Atreus mocking me for exploring and collecting stuff). I can't criticise that. This game knows exactly what it is, what it does and it does it with a lot of self-esteem. ThisGod of War (2018) surprises in so many ways – may it be small or big.

I can't criticise that. This game knows exactly what it is, what it does and it does it with a lot of self-esteem. This is, why I can't give the game less than 10. The only downside is: it will never be the same, after playing it for the first time.
    Every bad user critique I read here lacks substance. I didn't know much about GoW and came into this without expectations and the game had me at "hello" (sorry). But even if you expected another "old" GoW, as soon as you play this instalment, you should be able to appreciate what they did here. The characters, their story, the world, the gameplay...it all makes sense and just "works". I guess, they have not played it or it is just not their cup of tea in general (however this might be possible).

    The insane level of detail, the great story and acting, the gorgeous art direction, lighting and the overall presentation, combined with a great gameplay, a deep satisfying combat system and a complete characters level up department, make God Of War one of the best gaming experiences, if not the best so far, I have ever had.

    Regarding the new GOW, the first scene itself (Kratos cutting down the tree), will make you go aawww... moment. Then the epic first boss fight.

    TBH, i've played all Gears of War, Halo Series, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, GTAV, yet, nothing, absolutely nothing i found closer enough to the new GOW.

    The Story, Characters, Voice overs, music, Fight sequence, Cut scenes, Gameplay mechanics, Upgrading mechanics, Graphics, Game length, Story mission and Side quests - all will keep you pushing on and on... I am still on my first playthrough, and i've already decided that i'll play it again.

    If you own a PS4, than i would must recommend playing it strongly.

    Combat is too dull for a "God of War" title. You're a God of Boomerangs if anything. RPGs have done everything better except the touchy-good-feeling kid story which is a copy of the Last of Us. This game is not at all a GOAT. Nothing unique is here.

    Absolutely stellar game. Rather than rehash all that has been said in the numerous reviews, I’d like to comment on the dialogue.
    While most will be impressed with the flashy visuals and fun combat system, I found myself completely enamored with the dialogue. Top notch script writing. The voice actors are incredible, their delivery was believable, and I felt engaged with the story. Atreus    Absolutely stellar game.

    While most will be impressed with the flashy visuals and fun combat system, I found myself completely enamored with the dialogue. Top notch script writing. The voice actors are incredible, their delivery was believable, and I felt engaged with the story. Atreus (the son) seemed JUST like a kid, and his little snide remarks about their journey had me cracking up.
    Example: A dwarf grabs Kratos’s axe and says he’s going to upgrade it, and Atreus says bewilderedly “...but we didn’t ask you to.” (Just play it - it’s much funnier in context)
    Another Example: Atreus wants to help someone they met on their travels and Kratos doesn’t want to, so he says, “Well, if mom were here, she would help the.” Kratos pretends he didn’t hear that and angrily asks, “What was that!?” Atreus says, “uhhh nothing.” Kratos says, “Yeah, that’s what I thought...” (there are a lot of little moments like that throughout.

    I particularly enjoy when Atreus is excited about his surroundings, acting like a typical little kid and Kratos gets impatient and annoyed.

    While they’re in the boat, Atreus asks Kratos to tell him a story and Kratos responds with the tortoise and the hare. Kratos: “There was a story about a tortoise and a hare. They wager on a race between them. The hare is too confident of victory and is foolish, while the hare is steady and disciplined. The tortoise wins.” Atreus: “You... *chuckles* haven’t told a lot of stories, have you?”

    The relationship between Kratos and his son are the best part of the story. I felt invested in the game and that rarely happens to me in games.

    I highly recommend this game. It’s easily among Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us Remastered as far as quality goes. This game could be competing for the best PS4 exclusive of this generation.    … Expand

    #1. Those without a PS4 are missing out on one of the All Time best games.
    #2. Decades of PC playing have left me ill prepared for this control system, The Hardest boss fight i found involved trying to ring 3 bells.

    In short, if you have a PS4, get this game.    … Expand

    this is definitely not close to being one of the best games ever, and has at times clunky controls but overall theres a lot to do and interesting things to discover, 8/10 is a good rating and probably more accurate, worth buying for sure.

I went in expecting changes and had faith in the team to do right by the series. I'm glad I did, this is not just a beautiful game with a good story. But the God of War we know and love is still baked inside the new combat systems. There is still some crowd control management, a new variation on QTE that isn't as abusive as God of War Ascension, abilities are still necessary for over coming certain foes, and the like. The game takes a bit to lean you into these facts as it is not only longer than past games in the series, but it takes more care in easing you into those changes. At first it seems pretty bare, but after a few hours it start to open up to the player. Puzzles are still a thing thankfully and still have some of the machinations of past god of wars. I was scared that there would be a loss in large scale boss fights leading to large scale destruction, the spectacle is still very much alive in this game. The game does a great job of faking a nonlinear path with optional objectives and back tracking from a central hub world, allowing the player to go back an explore the other realms in the game. Just the right amount of openness so you're not lost in it and just the right amount of restricted path to keep you focused.

    Equally so Bear McCreary certainly delivers in changing the music for this new norse approach. He was the right pick given his past works in mixing various styles an instruments to create a unique sound while maintaining the soul of god of war. You won't always feel the fierce power that you would from say the Colossus at Rhodes fight in God of War 2, but you'll get a new kind of energy from the music that is distinctly God of War, but also re-inventing what it means to be God of War music at the same time. I couldn't have picked a better composer for the job.

    Accessibility is also handled nicely in the settings menu. For those who are hearing impaired and have trouble seeing small text, this game most definitely supports that breadth of features. Including a "Subtitle Speaker", "Subtitle Background" in two settings (light and dark), some button remapping, and features for handling environment interactions. Such as repeated Button Presses from Tap and Hold, Sprint input (press and hold X, or click L3), Stun Grabs, and input for the door Chisel mechanic which is either precision or single button. So hopefully this helps someone who is looking for this information. As a Game Dev myself (from a rival studio) I know how important this is for some people so I wanted to be sure this info was out there.

    Go into this game with an open mind and take in the great work and love that was put into it, you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    1) There aren't as many big boss fights in this game as previous God of War. I get that the story is more narrative focused on Kratos being a father and learning to control his rage. But the lack of big, epic boss fights for long stretches of time does slow the game down quite a few times for me. Also, the smaller bosses like the trolls get repetitive from time to time.

    2) The stun execution only has one animation for each enemy type and I would have liked to see at least 2 or 3 different ones. The combat system itself is excellent and vastly improved but it does get old after awhile to see the same head stomp animation over and over.

    Santa Monica Studio deserves high praise for reinventing the old jaded GoW formula. Now if they can just fix these two issues in the next game, it would be a 10/10 for me.    … Expand

I even wanna pay more for the game like this one." Hopefully, the devs will add on DLC or even the next sequel on the foundation of this god of war, because there is so much potential for the future.

I found it very boring. Too automated, when I was in control of the character, it was very clunky. The combat was very bland and boring. The boss fights where not that exciting, the areas are too small. Some serious frame rate issues on the standard PS4, It can't even hold 30fps and in some parts dips down to a stand still. The visuals are good, but nothing that great. I wouldn't expect any less as each set piece/area is very small. I was way more impressed with the visuals in uncharted 4 and horizon zero dawn. There where some cool moments but so far just not enough to keep me playing. I will push myself to play more but I have a feeling its going to be very rinse and repeat from here on. I want to play a game and be in control of the character all the time, not spend 50% of it watching cut scenes and pressing a button when promoted. I will most likely get a refund for this one.… Expand

    Although this review is still in progress, this is a masterpiece at heart. Playing it you absolutely feel all the love put into this game. Everything down to the particle effects are AMAZING.

Everytime you play this game you get the feeling of sheer happiness, and honestly I would not be surprised to find if I were smiling the whole way through. And to those who worry the franchise has lost it's DNA, you could never be more wrong. I really can't tell you all the times where I was in combat, and then had to stop playing because I pulled a leg muscle because of how immersed I was. Kratos has changed, but defiantly not the world around him. Also side-note, please ignore all the salty XBOX fanboys.… Expand

    По началу были очень смешанные впечатления, то было все супер, то слегка разочарование, но спустя несколько часов я понял, на сколько это шедевр! Есть конечно маленькие минусы, но на них не стоит обращать внимания т. к гигантские плюсы их перекрывают!

    Absolutely breathtaking and pure magic. The best game I’ve played since The Last of Us, and shot straight into my all time top 5. Without a doubt my Game of the Year it’s a masterpiece!

    For someone like me who is in his early 30s with a regularjob my folks keep bugging me with the same f%^&king question all the time i.e., why i still continue to play games and what's in it that i find so wothwhile that i would spend my limited precious free time to sink into. Isn't it for kids? They would question me.

Isn't it for kids? They would question me. For a while now i kind of came to my senses that they might be right on this one. BUT, GOD OF WAR changed it for me.
    GOD OF WAR. You beautiful bastard. This is my answer!

    Yes. Its that good. Who cares about Half Life 3 anymore.. I got this game and its more than sufficient.

    The first thing you're going to notice in this game is the Godly amount of polish that went into making it. Everything is shown in a single shot and it never cuts. Thus keeping you on the edge of your seat. One epic moment leads to another and the next thing you know is that you just spent the last five hours on a single gaming session. Time just flies. Combat in this game is more mature, gory and brutal. No more hack and slash since Kratos will take damage. So, you'll need to defend yourself at all times. "The Stranger" Boss fight was the one that got me hooked which is about 90 mins into the game. The Badassery that was dispalyed by this Boss and the Tsunamic combat with him was an experience which is out of this world. The pacing is also something that needs to commended here since there are quieter and lighter moments after every major fight and Kratos's son Atreus will accompany him by keeping thing fresh with a lively banter plus the change of scenery and music really keeps things moving. The sound & Music is sublime here. Every detail from the sound of Kratos Beefy punch to the music that plays in the background is stunning and perfect. Coming to the next Best thing is the Graphics in this game. Every detail and animations starting from the rocks and trees breaking apart when Kratos throws his apponents against them to the pristine texture quality of objects like trees, terrain and vegetation is astonishing. I'am really. How can this run on a PS4 is baffling my mind. Lastly the Story. Let me just say one thing. The least i say about it the better it is for you. Its superb is all i can tell you.

    God of War is like a well oiled machine. Everything thing from its Story, Gameplay, Graphics and Sound come together mixed in with an secret X factor recipe to give you an experience like no other and i don't say that lightly. Hats off to Santa Monica Studios for pouring in their godly effort, sweat, tears and blood into making this Game and then putting it out there for everyone to experience. I highly doubt that there will be any other studio beating this game for a long time. I say Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Cory Barlog and Santa Monica Studios! You made me a gamer all over again and you also refortified my belief on one more important thing. Do what you Love and do it like you're Life depended on it and the fruits of your labour will be on the same epic proportions as GOD OF WAR!    … Expand

    The fact that people, who obviously haven’t played this game (no, it doesn’t have QTEs geniuses), are giving it zeros drives me nuts. I also own a Switch, Xbox One X, and a gaming PC, but I have to say, this is the best game I’ve played in many years. That’s really saying something because I play darn near everything that comes out and have honestly become jaded in regard to gaming.The fact that people, who obviously haven’t played this game (no, it doesn’t have QTEs geniuses), are giving it zeros drives me nuts.

That’s really saying something because I play darn near everything that comes out and have honestly become jaded in regard to gaming. However, this game has absolutely blown me away through my first 18 or so hours with it. The only thing that didn’t initially blow me away, the gameplay, has evolved and proven itself to be incredibly deep and satisfying during my last, let’s say, fifteen hours with it. In fact, just when I thought I knew how things were going to keep progressing in that area, the game made an addition that gave me goose bumps because it was so unexpected and fully-realized despite being added so far into the game.

    Make no mistake, this will go down as one of the greatest video games ever made and deservedly so.    … Expand

    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.
