    its very good game and you will feel that a AAA game for sure
    but sorry this is not a GOW game at all
    the combat is boring and not fun
    and the game is too slow for GOW you will feel like your playing the last of us or Uncharted
    I GIVE THE GAME 7/10

    This is a great looking game with a strong linear story. Gameplay punishes you for being aggressive with a terrible healing mechanic. This forces you to play passive with range and as the "god of war" makes for a disappointment. Lack of varying enemies push the combat back even further but the visuals, sound, and story make for an enjoyable experience.

    Jogo espetacular, o melhor God of War de todos!! Quem esta dando notas baixas a esse jogo são Fanboyolas do Xbox que querem denegrir o exclusivo da Sony. Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei, tão bom quanto the Witcher 3

    A lenda esta de volta. Mesmo com as "mudanças" os receios de que Kratos ia perder o seu carisma desapareceram, Kratos continua a ser o Deus da Guerra. Uma nova abordagem bem conseguida. Bom trabalho.

    This is the 3rd time I bought a game on release and it was more than worth it. I can't believe how great it is, I almost told my boss that I'm sick to play it the whole day. The last game that I really couldn't stop playing was The Last of Us and I think that God of War will be much greater.

    The best God of War game ever made, and surpasses the storytelling quality of The Last of Us, and is on par with Bloodborne in gameplay complexity. Cory Barlog had an impossible task, but he and his team managed to surpass and crush the expectations. An instant classic which moves the games industry forward. Highly recommended!

    God of War's reboot is a triumph...Our few complaints – and there are very few – would be that the boat sections add little to the actual gameplay other than a cumbersome way to explore the world. Meanwhile, upgrading Kratos' gear sometimes means battling some eye-wateringly tiny text and over-complicated power-ups.But this game is a must buy!

    The gameplay is a bit hard to master, but it's never unfair and there are plenty of possibilities : combo with the axe, throw it to freeze an enemy, punch and kick him savagely while dodging some ferocious attacks...
    So far, the story is very interesting and the reactions of Atreus to the cruel reality of the world is so well done.
    It's a masterpiece.
    The only thing I regret with the game is the poor performance of the PS4 Pro with the "enhanced mode". The FPS drop frequently under 30 per sec. So I play in the "performance mode".

    I think this game is the best PS4 game for now. The new battle god has made a fresh start to the game. Great storytelling, graphics that push the boundaries of the console, mysterious boss fights, and more. It is a game that everyone who owns PS4 should try.

Exactly, this game lacks originality compare to the original trilogy. If you're new to the series and didn't play the original when it was fresh, then this might seems good to you. Huge disappointment from me. The killing/combat felt held back and not as spectacular as the first three games. It feels like Kratos had been brainwashed by the liberals at Sony HQ and given task to babysit an annoying little man. Removing the female nudity is not so much of a problem for me, but making Kratos into a "vegetarian wanna be cool dad" is just not what I want from him and the franchise.

    Huge waste of time and production budget from Santa Monica studios. If they want to make something similar to The Last of Us go ahead, just don't use God of War franchise as the basis for it. To me Kratos is always an avenger, an angry half-god who brutally murders gods and shreds titans into pieces and destroys cities with all of the civilians in it without any second thought . He was betrayed and he got nothing to lose. He is the GOD OF WAR, he did it for his family. I gave 7 for the visual alone, other than that Kratos is dead.    … Expand

    What should I say? Loved the other GOW Games and love this one as well. Don't understand the complains about the camera, especially when the Reviewers give the game 0 points, you are just haters, go outside and climb trees or something. The relationship to Atreus and a more calm Kratos give the game a very nice new touch and it totally fits IMO.

    O retorno triunfal do Deus Da Guerra. Toda a reformulação do game fez bem para a franquia que já se mostrava desgastada em GoW Ascension. Customização, mundo maior, aventura maior e combate mais dinamico e frenético como nunca. Facilmente o melhor da franquia e forte candidato a Game Do Ano.

A surely Masterpiece !

    Nothing new for a sony exclusive, and yet not a God of War game. pretty repetitive combat downgrade of what it was before. Story is simple and not that amusing. And of course a cliff hanger to continue the factory work of producing repetitive sony games. Disappointing

    这是我玩儿过演出效果最屌的游戏，游戏性和剧情结合的很好，奎爷的利维坦冰霜斧就像雷神托尔的锤子一样，不过不同的是，这是在游戏中实现的效果，游戏结尾虽然结束的有些仓促，最终boss战的魄力不足，但是新的战斗系统无疑是成功的，并且这个游戏有我们熟悉的老系列的战神的很多要素，比如斯巴达冲撞等等，并且我们还会迎来一位老朋友，游戏的剧情无疑刻画的很好，虽然游戏的第一个预告片一度让我以为这只是个顽皮狗换皮游戏，但无疑圣莫妮卡做到了升华，最高的战神难度也很有挑战性，虽然是有些缺点，但作为改头换面，开辟新天地的一作，给它打9分无疑是少了，所以我决定给它10/10这是我玩儿过演出效果最屌的游戏，游戏性和剧情结合的很好，奎爷的利维坦冰霜斧就像雷神托尔的锤子一样，不过不同的是，这是在游戏中实现的效果，游戏结尾虽然结束的有些仓促，最终boss战的魄力不足，但是新的战斗系统无疑是成功的，并且这个游戏有我们熟悉的老系列的战神的很多要素，比如斯巴达冲撞等等，并且我们还会迎来一位老朋友，游戏的剧情无疑刻画的很好，虽然游戏的第一个预告片一度让我以为这只是个顽皮狗换皮游戏，但无疑圣莫妮卡做到了升华，最高的战神难度也很有挑战性，虽然是有些缺点，但作为改头换面，开辟新天地的一作，给它打9分无疑是少了，所以我决定给它10/10

    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]
