    I literally can't understand how can this be a hit when we have open world games like RDR2, Zero Down, and many more that WAY surpasses it generally in intelectual, artistic, mechanical and every other aspect. it's a Boring as hell linear game with a lot of limitations and repetitive to the bone mechanics. Would not recommend to anyone. It's a waste of time.

    Boring puzzles to solve. I am totally uninterested in story. Hate when a character can't climb somewhere other than marked areas. Only the combats are ok.

    As a fan of GOW Series really disappointing
    Gameplay is good but its not a god of war its more like combining Action-Adventure and Souls-like!
    And Valyries and Trolls are fighting at same style
    About story is really good but sometimes it get boring My rate is 2/10

    An other overrated game, i feel the gameplay like an old "Beat em up" game, just spend the entire game just pushing the square button . The characters and dub were pretty good . But gameplay is cringe as hell .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played the previous God of War titles on the ps3 and I was disappointed. On the ps3 God of War 1-3 were available, and despite some issues with the controls they were competing games. God of War 2018 looks nice, but that is were the issues start. There is no backstory it just, God of War and boy, and that is it. And there are no combos at least to start. Then the first boss fight is against a giant were you are supposed to use boy to shoot his arrows to stun the enemy and guess what, the arrows basically do nothing and the giant can take you down in 2-3 hits. Ok beat the giant the you get the next boss fight The Stranger, who you never know who he is or what he wants you just end up in a protracted fight. When you fight the stranger he will charge at you which forces you to use your shield and you miss and chance to counter. On a rare occasion you can finally attack the stranger and start to do damage guess what happens, suddenly right in the middle of you attack combo the stranger will counter your attacks stopping you combo. But you can't counterattack the stranger when he attacks you. Only played the first trophy but was unimpressed, not sure if I will play more.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Half baked, watered down, unfinished and clearly un-needed newest game of the God of War series. Terrible, repetitive combat and boss battles with little to no enemy variety. Puzzles take two seconds to complete and are only difficult and challenging if you're 7 years old. Open world is absolutely awful where you have to spam quicktime events all the time to get anything done properly. The story is an actual mess, with no motives other than to go scatter some ashes of a woman we have NEVER MET so don't even care about, whilst random, terribly written enemies come to attack you because this game needs some sort of plotline. Just as the game is about to get kind of interesting, when you find out that Atreus is Loki, it ENDS. By far the worst God of War game and one of the most overrated games I have played in a long time. To give this game of the year back in 2018 was an actual crime.… Expand

    I initially thought wow, it ticks all the blocks for a great game, then I played on and found it is actually very cookie cutter. If you took prince of Persia and transitioned it into a game for the LGBTQ community and it had an baby with mark ruffalo l, you would have something that resembles this.

The biggest concern about this game is what it tries to be being not at the same time. The story could be so great if not buried under all these garbage of nonsense elements which brings nothing to the gameplay. It is in the worst sense as bad as Hellblade was with being just a bunch of sequential connected labyrinth puzzles scenes all of which have the same pattern in solution. The game tries to mimic Far Cry and Hellblade and falls apart from what it ought to be. Even last Assasins Creed with its open world is more consistent in its performance than everything being made about Norse myths. And the last one thing - Norse myth based stories are boring.… Expand

    Not God of War anymore. I just see a fusion of The Last of Us and Dark Souls with less weapons. Why did they have to put Kratos in here? As a new Ip it would have been a decent game for me, but calling this GOD OF WAR? You can't even jump.

Not a single average, let alone negative "critic" review, despite this games many shortcomings. Now this game looks amazing, the graphics and the area design are stunning. Sadly it's almost entirely inaccessible as a player, you're stuck to very limited pathways and funneled towards enemy areas where you fight the same few generic enemies and eventually a boss..and besides a few collectables and bits of story, that's about it, it's just repeating the same thing over and over, whilst surrounded by beautiful scenery that you can't explore at all, which makes the game feel like it's several generations old...oh hold on, you can smash pots...yep a game made in this era and we're still smashing pots. Then there's Kratos as a character, Firstly he's a demigod who apparently can't jump...Absolutely ridiculous. Now there are other great games where the main character or characters can't jump, but the gameplay design of those games is done so well that you don't really notice. In God Of War it VERY noticeable! The lack of a jump mechanic along with the very linear gameplay just take away any feeling of power from the character, which in a God Of War game is ludicrous. Climbing is another poor bit of game design. Kratos is only able to climb areas very clearly marked with paint, and he has to climb down the same way. At one point i climbed a small ledge to smash some pots (great fun...) and i had to backtrack to the painted climbing area to get down. it was a 4ft high ledge and Kratos couldn't just hop down..Again, a demigod who can't jump down from a 4ft high ledge...The main issue with all this games limitations is that they take away any feeling of immersion, and again make the gameplay feel incredibly dated. Kratos controls like a character from a generation of gaming that controlled in that way only due to the technical limitations of the time. I could go into the annoying father son story ( Akin to having to listen to your breeder friends who do nothing but bang on about they're effing kids because they assume you care as much as they do) and the fact that you have an irritating side kick to have to think about whilst playing. Atreus adds nothing to the gameplay is frankly just annoying..just like people who won't shut up about they're f!*king kids.

    In general this game is just incredibly underwhelming. It's a beautiful looking game that is let down by very dated, linear game design.    … Expand

Do you enjoy getting backstabbed and having to restart a whole fight, because some dev decided that shoulder mounted camera in a slasher is a good idea? How about an open world, with absolutely nothing to do? Do you like exploring said world and solve boring puzzles only to find some resources to craft really boring armor? Do you like playing a slasher with only 2 (actual) weapons on your character? No? Well wait, theres more. If you are like me, and tried playing the game on "hard" difficulty, also prepare to get bursted multiple times during any fight, while trying to deliver damage by such little amounts, you dont always see enemy healthbar being depleted. Everything in this game is a mess. They took a beloved character, and from an epic anti-hero with lots of internal struggle turned him into a grumpy dad. They took a great and well-developed combat mechanics and turned it into boring and annoying experience. They took beautiful linear story experience and turned it into another empty open world game. Granted, perhaps old god of war slasher would not have found such succes these days, but instead of approaching this challenge creatively, they just put different textures over horizon zero dawn (another beautiful, yet boring and uninspired game). The graphics looks nice, and the actors play well, but story is rather stretched and characters seem flat. Fight after fight you get the feeling, that devs had model limit, because you are literally fighting 4-5 mobs with different colours and sometimes weapons over and over and over and yet over again. Why these kind of projects become commercially successful, i will never know. When did good graphics come to overshadow gameplay experience. This feels like a spit in the face for any god of war fan, and any gamer, really. A pathetic end for a great series.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War ps4 is a drag to play through if you're looking for anything resembling the old games or even just a game thats fun to play. The combat has been stripped back to become a 3rd person axe shooter. The game looks great but theres hardly anything fun about graphics. The sad dad simulator is extra dumb when handed to an insane murderer like Kratos. Its Kratos levels of insane how lame the boss fights are when 1-3 really held them up on a pedestal. Watching your son stab Thor's son and push him down a hole seems like a joke when compared to flying through Poseidon's watermonster chest as You gouge his eyes out in first person. You spend the entire game listening to characters describe how scary and badass Odin and Thor are and you literally never see them (minus a whack post credit scene) The most disappointing thing is when you walk through the final gold shimmer of the credit reel having not been to even half of the bifrost locations. This game is whack, Cory Balrog sucks as a game director, god of war 2 is my least favorite of the original trilogy anyway. Its sad to be putting god of war in the "not for me" category.… Expand

Tomb Raider kills this easily for strategy and fighting, as well as graphics & story.

    Same monsters so far with a boss now and again. It’s just so boring. God of War should be continuous intense gameplay not stupid dialogue and cutscenes.

    Don’t know if I can play anymore of this. Nothing about it resembles God of War. It is an extremely watered down GOW with filler galore of rubbish and nonsensical dialogue. This is supposed to be an action game yet it is more like the Last of Us which I liked but I bought GOW and I expected immersion tension and non stop action not filler.    … Expand

It's a sentimental journey to bury your dead wife and reconnect with your son with clunky combat, in an extremely linear experience with very repetitive encounters and a terrible camera. Your main weapon is an axe, it feels very heavy and cumbersome like an axe should, but not that fun when you have to manually recall it every time you throw. All the money was spent on the pretty graphics, and none on gameplay. The level design is awful, it's pretty much a track-based game with the obligatory hidden treasure chests. The map bites off open-world games, but this is far from open world - you pretty much keep waking straight until the next cut-scene. The cut scenes are short and more action-packed than the actual game - sliding down the side of a mountain is much more fun when you can control your character. I'm very disappointed in both the game, and the obviously purchased before the game's release, fake reviews. This will be $20 by the holidays, if you must try this turd then at least wait until it's on clearance.… Expand

    A game that is very superrated. Don't deserve such a high score because it is not god of war. It is The last of us with kratos in the north. Where are the big battles that made god of war in the past? The bosses looks like the same every time, kratos don't look like the spartan we know, his relation with his son is very forced and it is the worst god of war that i ever played in my life.

    The core combat mechanics of throwing your weapons around is spectacular and satisfying. The aesthetics are cutting-edge, the audio is epic and enthralling with war-like Nordic themes, and the plot is stupendous. Every character is great and appealing with tons of personality, depth, and complex reasoning. If I were focusing on these aspects alone, the game would have a perfect 10/10. However, I cannot help but cut this elaboration on the good aspects short, as the bad aspects kept echoing in my mind at a much greater volume throughout the entire experience.    … Expand

    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.

I'm amazed by the herd mentality of the mindless masses that eat up whatever product the media tells them to.… Expand

    The game has moved away from Hack'n'Slay for unknown reasons and is now just another Diablo (3) clone.

    After playing this game for 5 hours I lost interest in it, it's just not what god of war used to be, I can't understand all the hype about it, Sony you betrayed your biggest fan!

    This game has truly some of the worst storytelling in the history of gaming, it is a shame for all who expected a proper god of war

    I usually don't review games but today I am really upset. After beating the game on normal difficulty I feel a bit ripped off, I bought this game for 70 Euro in the PS-Store and only got roughly 15 hours of gameplay out of it. Don't trust people that tell you this game is long, if you don't do every sidequest you'll be finished within 15 hours easily.

After that there is not really much to make you play it again, sure you could always collect useless stuff for that shiny platinum trophy but that's not how I play my games. The value proposition with God of War is really bad, I can only recommend people to wait for a price drop that justifies the little play time you will get with this game.… Expand

    Like pulling teeth, the God of War soft reboot suffers from the same issues as it's contemporaries such as Uncharted, which should explain it all. Lots of filler animations, lots of automatic gameplay, reduction in complexity from previous games, an emphasis on story that falls apart around sixty percent through, and everything interesting is front loaded to get people to buy more copiesLike pulling teeth, the God of War soft reboot suffers from the same issues as it's contemporaries such as Uncharted, which should explain it all. Lots of filler animations, lots of automatic gameplay, reduction in complexity from previous games, an emphasis on story that falls apart around sixty percent through, and everything interesting is front loaded to get people to buy more copies from watching just the first hour. Ignore until this is five dollars in a Mom and Pop store if you absolutely have to play it for whatever reason, but I promise you, it would not have been worth your time.… Expand

    TOO many boss using same monster, and puzzles are borning. Just find and find and find the runes, then throw your axe.

    It's a good game but it's not God of War anymore, I hope the sequel will be more action orientated.

    The overall story is amazing, but the Muspelheim and Niflheim content is boring, broken and needlessly excessive. Basically everything else but those two realms are really good, that's why it's even more sad that to get the best armor upgraded you have to grind these absolutely lackluster trials.

    All in all, this isn't a very good game.
    To start things off it's much, much slower paced than the other games in the series which in an action game can be a deathblow seeing as speed is the lifeblood of the genre. The enemy variety and difficulty really needed a boost as things are now even on the hardest difficulty the best method of dispatch is just mashing the basic combo.

    There's way way too much dialogue as well, this is supposed to be God of War the main appeal was cutting things to pieces not talking to your son.

    For me this was a huge disappointment as my first PS4 game. It made me think I had made a bad console choice. However it turns out it was just a bad game choice. The lead character was really annoying and his actions to toughen up his son felt really forced. The camera and buttons were rubbish. The enemies kept repeating phrases over which got on my nerves.

The lead character was really annoying and his actions to toughen up his son felt really forced. The camera and buttons were rubbish. The enemies kept repeating phrases over which got on my nerves. It was just no fun. If you are going to attempt life like graphics and try to make it like you are part of a film, you have to make it a good film. As the gameplay was no fun and if it was a film it would have been a huge flop, it fell at every hurdle for me. I played Beyond Two Souls shortly after this and although it was minimal on the gameplay side it was still immensely enjoyable with very good life like graphics and for the most part good voice acting. So my point is instead of wasting 50 quid on this, get 3 months of PSNow for the same price and a whole ton of awesome games. I find reviewers all seem to like this Hollywood rubbish. Hollywood is like **** pop music. They pump a ton of money in to advertising and sell some over priced turd that they spent the last 6 months sprinkling glitter on. It's s still a turd and will never shine to anyone with a drop of intelligence. Same as they rave about Journey and Flower which arent a patch on Brothers Tale of Two Sons. The Hatsune Miku 2 song demo is more fun than God of War.… Expand

    This franchise, unfortunelaty killed the old traditional gameplay which got many fans from this games. I prefer the Hack and Slash of the older God Of War.

    Go there and fight the same boss, and then go here fight the same boss with the same type but with different skin, there's no variety in this game, and the side quest is so fcking boring. The Witcher 3 is wayyyyyyyy better.

    Fantastic visuals and characters you can't help but care about. The core of the story is the relationship between Atreus and Kratos. Mimir is a fun sidekick midway through. I didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as a did. I wouldn't say it's perfect for a few reasons, First, the gear progression system is broken. 3/4 through the story, my gear didn't match my level.

However, it's hard to feel connected to your armor at all. Unlike Witcher 3, where gear hunting is a joy and you really have control over your playstyle. Also, the combat is really incredible and intricate. That being said, there are so many different moves and combos that even though I'd acquire new skills, I found myself forgetting to complete most of the moves by the end of the game. Overall, what a joyful ride through a gorgeous world. It was nice to get a wide linear game after finishing Witcher 3.… 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.
