Apr 20, 2018Amazing game, nothing short of a masterpiece. The negative reviews you may see are more than likely from Xbox users upset because they can’t play this amazing game. Games very lengthy and worth the price ten times.. again, masterpiece game and best game of 2018 so far.

Apr 22, 2018If any game could some up Sony's "Greatness awaits" manta it's 'God of War'. There are no shortage of great games to choose from these days but 'God of War' manages to raise the bar so much higher than it's contemporaries it's astounding. Well done Santa Monica!

May 30, 2018Es cierto que se tenia miedo del resultado de cambiar el modo de juego de god of war sin embargo esta reformulacion del juego le sienta de maravilla. Es un juego que roza a la perfeccion tanto en graficos, historia como en la jugabilidad. Un juego que no debe faltar en tus juegos de ps4.

Sep 27, 2018That's just a gaming industry masterpiece. No words more needed. Big thanks to Sony Santa Monica and Cory Barlog for such unforgettable experience. MustHave on your PS4
-
Apr 24, 2018i have never felt so immersed, amazed and awed at a video game in a very long time. I never thought a game would push the technical, narrative boundaries so far and let alone a god of war game do that.
i hope industry takes a lesson from this game and we see amazing title like this in the future. -
Apr 23, 2018it is perfect from start to the end..i loved this game end i will never let it go...10/10 gameplay sound
-
Apr 24, 2018No microtransactions, no online, no seasonpass, great game, that is how you do it! Congratulations to Santa Monica (and Sony?), you did a great job!
-
Sep 8, 2018If you have PS4 then you should have this game in your library. It's so good. Graphics, voice acting, sounds, story, fighting system are just amazing. Can't wait for sequel!

Apr 28, 2018This is easily in the top 5 games ever made. The story is the driving force, the characters are incredibly well-written, the combat is immensely satisfying, and the level design (and by extension the exploration) is perfect.
-
Apr 20, 2018When I fought with The Stranger, I said so many bad words. The scene become more powerful than before. I just have played a little, but I think the story would be great. I can feel the development between Kratos and Atreus.
-
Apr 20, 2018I don't normally write reviews but I just had to let people know hat this game is not over hyped, and all the negative reviews on this that people are leaving are most likely paid for!
Get this game and let that be your judge me not these reviews -

May 5, 2018Best Single player game released in a decade, only next to Monster Hunter world. Play the game, dont trust the red ratings because they obviously haven't played more than 2hours.

Jun 19, 2020One of those games that really deserves the high scores its received. Even joyed the game from start to finish, and it just shows that games don't need massive open worlds to be successful. Bigger isn't always better.

Apr 23, 2018Every game I've played since the Witcher 3 could not live up to my expectations but this one definitely has, and in my book, this is on the same level if not better than the Witcher 3. Without a doubt game of the year.
-
Apr 20, 2018Start play with a grain of salt but now i see this game as one of the best in the word in the universe in the dark matter
-
May 18, 2018Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei e sem dúvidas a masterpiece do PS4 até aqui.
Exploração instigante, com bons puzzles, combate excelente e historia muito boa, com destaque para o desenvolvimento da relação entre Kratos e Atreus.
É um jogo memorável e obrigatório para todo tipo de gamer. -

-
Nov 12, 2018The best game and most fun gameplay i have seen in a while. Everything is fun: the story is awesome, graphics are super and gameplay feels so good. This game deserves game of the year. Only 1 thing i don't like: a Throphie that you have to kill all the Crows. That was the reason why i didnt get Platinum, otherwise i would!
-
Apr 21, 2018I have played hundreds of AAA titles in my lifetime and I am very particular about which games i play. I do not say it lightly but this game has the greatest opening hours of any game I have ever played. Period.

-
Feb 26, 2019Beautiful and moving story is only the beginning to how amazing this game is. They story is rich with emotions and feelings that we feel, and lots of amazing and subtle foreshadowing is done throughout the game. The combat system is phenomenal and groundbreaking. Everything in this game is simply beautiful and has taken my breath away. This game will forever be one of the very best.
-
Apr 20, 2018Extremely fun. This is my first God of War game and I'm having a lot of fun. The graphics on Pro are simply amazing and the combat *Mwah. This is a game you don't want to pass up 2018 or you'll be booting yourself later.
-

Jul 9, 2018Com certeza o melhor jogo que eu já joguei na vida, não consigo nem pensar em colocar defeitos, foi até melhor que eu esperava, e com certeza os que virão em sequência serão melhores ainda, creio eu que esse jogo seja apenas uma introdução ao que virá, e ainda assim é uma obra prima.

Apr 26, 2018Don't read any review (oxymoronic as it may sound), don't watch any video review, don't read any article, don't watch any "Lets Play", just play the game.
This game will be one of the best experiences you will ever get from a video game gameplay-wise and narrative-wise. -

-
Mar 3, 2022This game is just **** incredible. The combat is consistently fresh and interesting. The story with Kratos and Atreus is heartwarming and heartbreaking at times. God of War as a series developed into something much more mature and innovative. I loved it so much when I played it on PS4 and I loved it even more when I revisited it on PC this year.
-
Aug 2, 2018Awesome... the best god of war ever , graphics , no DLCs, the best game....
-
Dec 7, 2018Along Red Dead Redemtion 2, this is the best game of the actual generation.
-
Apr 24, 2018Having played only a bare minimum amount of time at the time of writing this;
My opinion is that God Of War (4) is the utmost most innovative, tightly made (especially the controls!!!) and best looking work of art/videogame that I have ever played, in my entire life.
I love everything from the story telling to the combat. It's the perfect game and that is not something I say lightly. -
Apr 20, 2018Un juego expectacular tanto graficamente y su banda sonora. su narrativa siempre te mantiene atento a la historia, es el renacer gow, simplemente hay que jugarlo y dedicarle muchas horas a todo su contenido
-
Apr 20, 2018I think this game is the best PS4 game for now.amazing grafics, great character development and great story plus awesome combat and puzzle solving gameplay. Thanks Santa Monica Studio

Apr 24, 2018This really feels like the best that action games have to offer in 2018. An interesting story, a rewarding combat experience, some RPG elements, beautiful landscapes, challenging sections and bosses. It's, hands-down, the best game on 2018 so far and a serious contender for game of the year.

Apr 20, 2018God 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.

Apr 20, 2018Un juegazo. Gráficos impresionantes, buena jugabilidad y una gran historia acompañada de una buena banda sonora. Recomendadisimo si tienes una ps4 y te gusta las historias para un jugador

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Sep 13, 2018The 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]

CD-ActionJul 6, 2018Cory 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]

Jun 7, 2018Where 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.
