    I feel the game's rather overhyped. Objectively, this is NOT a bad game, in terms of technical prowess, mechanics, production value, but I've wanted to quit the game on several occasions. It's definitely NOT a bad game, but it doesn't merit a 9 or 10 or comparisons to other great games. First the world is very nice for the most part, but, some areas are extremely color-saturated andI feel the game's rather overhyped. Objectively, this is NOT a bad game, in terms of technical prowess, mechanics, production value, but I've wanted to quit the game on several occasions. It's definitely NOT a bad game, but it doesn't merit a 9 or 10 or comparisons to other great games. First the world is very nice for the most part, but, some areas are extremely color-saturated and feels too cartoonish compared to the serious tone the game seems to want to set; it really bothered me on many instances. It's as if you're playing the Last of Us, and then suddenly the environment turns into a JRPG or WoW world. I found it really jarring. The combat is good; definitely better than say Witcher which had horrible combat. Although, however, mechanically and control-wise it has similarities to Dark Souls and Bloodborne, there's NO meat to the combat, because too easy to get away from enemies simply by outdistancing. You can also, just keep your shield up with infinite stamina. Also, because you can take so much damage, I felt no desire to master the combat. Just roll and dodge and the enemies can hardly harm you. Many instances, I can tell the enemies were designed to be bad to fit the combat, not the other way; it's really glaring and threw me sometimes. I feel like I'm terrible with the combat because didn't want to be bothered learning, but still end up making progress easily. No critic that compares this combat favorably to Bloodborne or Dark Souls should be taken seriously - they simply don't know what they are talking about.
    I also hate puzzles in games like these. I've spent more time doing puzzles than fighting or advancing the storyline. Inevitably, environmental puzzles like these become frustrating to me. I always get stuck not because the puzzle is clever, but because of some control mechanic that the game never bothers to explain. Example, at one of the bridges, took me 30 minutes running around trying to figure out how to break a chain that I could see through a broken cage to keep a bridge down. Well, turned out I could hold the mechanism and throw the axe at the same time - I just didn't know the mechanics allowed me to do that. That puzzle cost me 30 minutes of progress and frustration. The UI is also so chock full of tiny TL;DR script. I read and read at start, but at some point just gave up cause none of it seem to matter. Roll a lot and I eventually get through the enemies, so why bother learning the tedious systems? The level design is also extremely annoyingly-straight, corridor-like. I did not think it would bother me so much, but this whole game is like that one Dark Souls 2 area where 3 foot rubble stops you from progressing. The Corridor walls are often made of a log or a 2 ft rock that before you could climb or lift, but now you can't because it's a invisible wall. It's really jarring to be able to hop over one log, but not another that looks identical; to be able to climb over a small incline in one instance, but not in 90% of other instances- over and over and over. The game also seems to take pride in annoying you with glimpses of chests/areas not open yet, that you feel you should be able to open but in fact is on the next level. The thing is you don't know if that chest or area is on the next level or on this level. Also, I always seem to get motion sick with certain games. Uncharted 4 and Persona 5 made me motion sick and so does this game; I figured out why - it's whenever the game takes it upon itself to arrest camera controls away from you to show you QTE. My brain/thumb is turning left but no, the camera turns right. Ugh!
    The other aspect of the game that is overhyped is the one long single stretch with no load screen. Yes, it maybe true, but there are times when Kratos suddenly can NOT run, and you KNOW it's loading some thing in the background. I'd rather loading screens and have more control of my character. Also, every critic has stated that they do not find Atreus annoying as they feared - well, I did - not much but I did.
    As I stated, the game does NOT deserve anything less than a 7-8. It's a very well made game, but it also does not deserve a 9 or a 10 either. The puzzles make the game plodding. The customization screen is annoyingly complicated and wordy. The linear corridor-like maps/levels grate on me- A LOT. The combat is above-average but not the best. A critic said this game is better than Uncharted, Dark Souls, Witcher, Last of Us, etc., and that it's the game of the generation. I don't think so. Dark Souls has better atmosphere and combat. Last of Us has a better story and atmosphere also. I would also say Horizon Zero Dawn had better gameplay, characters, world. I do believe it's better than Uncharted and Witcher in most aspect, however. It's a SOLID game - but a few things annoyed me to no end. It's worth buying at $60, but don't go in overhyped before playing. It's just ok, not phenomenal.    … Expand

El juego ha variado respecto a las anteriores entregas pero eso no lo ha hecho peor juego solo diferente. Es un juego mas largo, mas rejugable y aunque a priori parece que no pero con mas variantes en combate. Una historia profunda y adulta que deja al lado al kratos vengativo para mostrarnos a un padre protegiendo a su hijo pero con las heridas del pasado impidiendo que sea ese padre que quiere ser.

    After 15 hours of playing i can definitely say, that this is one of the best mature action-adventure games in this genereation. Brilliant story, a nice father and son relationship and a combat system that reaches its complexity more and more as you progress through the diversified and wonderful world. (10/10)

You really get to make Kratos your own by choosing his gear, upgrading the arsenal, basically you can make him more Godly and so much more. All in all, this is a fantastic achievement for Sony Santa Monica Studios and they succeeded in innovating literally everything about the franchise. To those who are still skeptical about this game, invest into this game and play it. The music is truly special, the environments look amazing, the exploration is very rewarding though sometimes, challenging. Lastly, there IS a reason why this game is getting more 10s than any other score. Believe it, you will LOVE this game.… Expand

While many sequels over-promise and under-deliver, Santa Monica Studios brings us a ray of hope that games can continue to get even better with each sequel.

    This is the God of War I never knew I wanted. It's different from the original trilogy yet so god in so many ways. Combat changed a little, it's up close and personal. But is still deep and is so much fun. Flying axe is a really fun weapon.

    Graphics... my god. This is just so good. No words can describe it. Best looking game on PS4 to date. Maybe next to Uncharted and Horizon.    This is the God of War I never knew I wanted.

    Story... people mention The Last of Us for reasons. You have a son. And that son carry some of his traits to you and you carry some of yours to him. It's so fun to watch. They did such a good job.

    And one continue shoot is just perfect. I mean - you are not taken out of the current events even for a minute. You figure out world yourself just like your son. It's so fun. And your son is not useless. He help you with some annoying enemies like the witches.

    And they did not reset the main story. It's a continuation. Events from previous games happened. There is even scar on Kratos chest. I was expecting a reboot or something but they actually pushed it forward. Tomb Raider guys should learn from this. You just do not remove 10 years of story because you think you can make it better.

    Overall - it's a must have for any PS4 owner. And now PS4 is a must have for people who do not own console or own different console. Just like I bought Switch to play Zelda and Mario - if you can you should buy PS4 to play this :-) Then pick up rest of the awesome PS4 exs.    … Expand

God of War does a fantastic job at creating a story, and fun game play in a world that I genuinely want to explore every inch. I will say, a lot of gaming news sites talk about how similar GoW is to The Last of Us. Honestly other than a Man being with a younger child I don't really see that too much. Maybe I missed something but I just don't see it. The game looks absolutely gorgeous but I only noticed that the first hour or so, after that I couldn't care less about visuals because game play is king and God of War game play draws a lot of the focus from everything else. I could throw that axe all day and not get tired of seeing it come back, especially when Kratos throws it so far you can't even see it anymore. Fan-effing-tastic.

    * Story telling and poetics is nothing impressive but it does it's job. At the same time, this is not the same Kratos that you knew before, full of anger and energetic, that may feel sad for some fans.
    * Graphics are impressive but also nothing that we haven't seen before; And finally,
    * Music and Sound is forgettable, generic, it doesn't add anything to the game.

    Overall, the devs, designer and producer don't seem like they took any risk on the Game Design, which is ok, but also takes away some things that fans would have expected from the franchise.

    God of War is a pretty solid game. The combat is pretty tasty, it takes you some time to get used to but it´s pretty nice, the story didn´t forget the other games and the things he did before, it may look like but it´s not a "Last of Us" with Atreus. In the first hours of gameplay, it may look like a linear game but it´s not , it´s just on those first hours.
