    Hmm First I have to say to the people of Metacritic, You should make system where someone check the reviews first. No matter how bad the game is no game deserves a 0 score specially the game like this.

    I don't believe that God Of War is worst than No Man Sky or any other bad game exist, Giving it a 0 like some of the User reviews have is clearly shows that you are a fanboy of other side and plainly hating the game. I never liked Zelda or mario (which are a lot and they have to go now) games and still don't but i have never thought of it like a 0 game but in 8ish or 7ish at least because every game has something or anything that attracts you and no one has a right to gave a game like zelda or Last of Us or Uncharted or Mario or God of War or Forza or Gears of War or Halo a 0 on sites like meta because it can hurt the game sales because alot of people dpn't make their opinion but rather make theirs from other's. So few guys who game GOW-PS4 a 0 don't deserve to post their review to a site where their review can hurt the game sales (Even if the game is changed enough to look like a different game if its good then you have to give it a credit for what it does good) not that their review will matter for GOW or any other blockbuster game like Zelda or The Last of Us but still Meta people have to make something or atleast make a review score meter that starts from 5 instead of 0 for which i will be very grateful.

    Now for me the game is master piece, I know graphics doesn't matter if the game is good, but when graphics make the game more immersive, a living breathing world then it makes the game more love able, driven. The game play is also great, I love all of the God Of War series but i like this one more may be because it feels fresh as a God Of War game. The story is so great and relate able to some degree as well. The world is so beautiful and immersive, so far the best looking game i have played and I have played many on my high end PC and resolution doesn't matter if the models have low polygons or average. And yes the game doesn't have 60fps and from PC gamer's perspective it can be well all i can say it hurts more of a pride/ego rather than the play of the game when the game is not multiplayer or a racing game. So i didn't matter to me that on my ps4 pro the game wasn't reaching 60fps well to be fair graphics are more important to me as long as the game is atleast 30fps and i played it on resolution mode and i loved it and still loving it as i started on hard difficulty.
    So all in all it was a great experience which had after a long time, last time i had this much fun with Horizon Zero Dawn before that with Uncharted 4 and before that with Witcher 3 PC.
    So thanks to Sony and the DEVs for making this great and memorable game,    … Expand

    This is one of those games that you would never forget. The immersion is praiseworthy and the experience to play as few in the market. That way the camera has to never lose sight, without cuts, is what makes God of War one of the most special games not only of this generation but of all the history of the industry.

As mecânicas de combate não estão difíceis, assim como nos anteriores, mas dão gosto de usar o machado agora. E os gráficos.. que lindos! E isso porque joguei no PS4 normal de meu amigo(dono do jogo, que eu ainda não peguei o meu). Aos fãs de God of War, digo: o velho Kratos continua com sua violência, mas é um novo homem para o qual torcemos. Então você fã não se arrependerá de comprar e jogar! Aos novos gamers em God of War, cuidado... vão se tornar fãs da franquia e após este, irão atrás dos antigos jogos.

    - I am playing on hard, but the first enemies killed me in like three hits when I had full health. I thought that was a bit much, even for hard.

    The best God of war game in the entire franchise, the best 2018 game and a brilliant reinvention of the series. The new god of war is a masterpiece. The narrative is by far the best among all games and the plot is deep and touching.

    One of the best games on PS4. Awesome soundtrack really adds to the setting and ambiance. Graphics are of course top tier, especially on the Pro. Story is outstanding, well written and well voiced by all actors involved.

    A masterpiece by any standard.

    Honestly hands on one of the best if not the best game I've ever played. Everything seems perfect or near perfect from the graphics to just frames and mobility. Doesn't even feel like I'm locked in at 30FPS. To be honest, I just don't have the words to describe this great game. Just play it, you're doing yourself a disservice by not doing so.

    I did not play the previous games, so I didn't know what to expect going into this. I do love a good story driven RPG (Witcher 3, KOTOR), but somehow I didn't think God of War was in that vein. Always seemed like hack and slash type of game. Man was I surprised! Right from the first 10 mins you are drawn in. You care about what happens and can't put it down.

Christoper Judge is perfect. I just need him to Teal'c out once and say "Indeed"

I played through on Give me a Challenge mode and it was kind of a slog, with encounters remaining very same-y throughout the end game. They do some interesting things with the axe and Atreus, but it feels very lacking compared to the variety of all of the previous games in the franchise. I expected more.

    The biggest issue with this game is how the PS4's hardware weighs down the experience. Even on my Pro's "performance mode," the game almost never reaches 60 FPS at all on 1080p, hovering in the 40s most of the time. This is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE for any game in 2018. The 30 FPS 4K checkerboard mode looks nice when you're standing still, but in motion, the blur and total lack of fidelity and smoothness will give you a headache and totally detract from your experience. I couldn't get past this. The 30 FPS is constantly in your face and unavoidable, and impossible not to notice even if you only own a console and might not know any better. I can only describe it as truly awful.

    This game would be an 8 or even a 9 on PC, but as it is, the games industry is once again held back by the primitive and outdated technology that consistently hamstrings otherwise gems like this one. Such a damn shame. Can't wait to get sold on the rerelease for the PS5 in 2025 which will only offer locked 60 FPS, something we should already have.

    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]
