    Thank you for making such an amazing game. No doubts that this is the best game i've played since Witcher 3. If you have a PS4 and havent played this game, you're missing sooooooo much.
    A MASTERPIECE!! and i've played all of the GOW games.

    Much has been said about the no-cut-camera and cinematic presentation of this installment. I would like to stress that unlike other "cinematic" games that leave the player feeling more like a spectator than a participant, God of War's unique camera choices and seamless narrative enhance your connection and investment with the story and characters. Big, epic set pieces are a hallmark of this franchise, and never before has the exchange between well executed scripted scenes, and exciting organic gameplay felt better. What's more, the game has a deft enough touch to deliver on powerful quiet moments, as well moments which involve towering monsters and copious violence.

    Indeed, the narrative of God of War thrives on this balance, as we accompany an older, wiser, and more measured Kratos attempting to pass on the wisdom he has gained from a lifetime of fruitless bloodlust. This task is further strained by his frequent inability to communicate with his son. What is left unsaid is usually the thing that is tearing at the players mind after moments of critical dialogue. Once again, this is impressive subtlety for a game that will see you chopping off heads and ripping monsters in half. Yet the dichotomy works. Arguably, the dichotomy is the point.

    From a gameplay perspective, third person brawling has never felt better. The kit of available skills, weapons, moves, and playstyles is wide ranging. No matter how you choose to play, you're guaranteed a kinetic, frenzied, and exciting experience. Blows land with a palpable meatiness, and hard to execute techniques and challenging foes feel great to conquer. The RPG style progression also ensures that you'll always have a new move, ability, or perk to play with, keeping the combat fresh throughout the considerably lengthy campaign.
    Puzzles are perhaps a weak point. While they are used smartly to provide breathing room between battles, they often take the form of merely searching an area for interactive elements rather than requiring much logic. In some cases, they are rather a sort of minigame whereby players must perform actions quickly and precisely, which is fine.

    Some have argued that God of War suffers for lack of enemy variety. I did not find this to be a serious problem, because of the way old enemies are remixed and reimagined in new combinations and with surprising new moves and abilities as the game goes on. Even the frequent Troll minibosses will seldom play out the same way twice. Rather, I found the enemies offer a nice balance of challenges, requiring you to use almost ever trick the game offers at some point or another throughout your adventure.

    Overall, this reimagining of God of War is a fine demonstration of how far games have come since the inception of the series. The story is well written and well delivered by compelling voice actors. The narrative contains a full compliment of intelligent literary devices. The world is rich, cohesive and beautiful. Perhaps most importantly, the gameplay is superb, and will keep you coming back for more long after the main campaign is complete. This is a must have for every PS4 owner.    … Expand

Great story since I'm a fan of previous games, great mechanics, visually looks beautiful but the thing I'm most impressed about is it's combat mechanics. Combat on this game feels real, it isn't just touching buttons like crazy, you must concentrate to dodge, defend and attack wisely with various combos. I played the game on hard which was not the hardest difficulty and the game had me raging a few times with the difficulty. Don't want to mention much about the story here because you just have to experience the game all through out the end. The only thing I complain about is frame rate, frame gets lower at times, at least on my PS4 fat version. Other than frame the game is just fantastic if you love great stories, fighting giants, dragons, monsters and gods. This game has been the only one taking advantage of the PS4 capability. Experience it, it's a fair price for a full game, that's odd to spot nowadays.… Expand

I mean, I guess they were fun but I could never really commit to them. So when I saw the game was changing perspective both visually and in the narrative I was very intrigued and after playing the game all weekend, I feel I can make a fairly sound judgement on the quality of the game.

    As I start to write I am having a hard time deciding where to start. Do I like the graphics? Yes. Do I like the story? Very much. Do I like the combat? Yes, yes I do. Exploring, levelling and character design, crafting, side questing? Yes! Yes! YES! It is hard to find one part of the game that is better than any other. I guess what it is about this game that makes it so special is that one very desired but every elusive concept in video games, Balance. Cory Barlog and Santa Monica Studios have done what so many developers strive to do, create a game where all the systems integrate so well you never struggle to understand what you need to do and at the same time, does not feel like the game is holding your hand. One of my favourite way the game has done this is near the beginning of the game. Just after the player opens the map for the first time, Kratos and Atrius' dialogue suggests that since the map has more to see maybe we should go see whats on the map. I like this because not only did the conversation sound natural between these characters, but because it hinted at how the game can be played.

    I like a lot of different games for many different reasons. God of War I love because there is not any one reason to love it. The vision that Cory and his team had for this game feel like it is complete. Nothing was left out or added for no reason, everything carries weight, everything is in Ballance.

    Final Note: Hey Santa Monica studios, early 3D Legend of Zelda called, they want their design back.....not exactly but Dare to Compare....lol...BALANCE!!!!    … Expand

    The game is simply stunning. The gameplay is almost flawless. The story has twists and turns which never stop amazing.

    As a person who knew virtually nothing about the God of War series, the game explained as much as it could without feeling like a typical "reboot". I found myself wanting to learn as much as I could about the universe, exploring every nook and cranny for information, clues, and secrets.

    The combat is great. At first, it feels like you are overpowered. A huge guy just smashing through enemies, but then it gets harder, grittier, intense. You are forced to stop running head on and actually take things a little slower, use the environment and your son to get the tactical edge. But, there are also points where you can take a left turn instead of a right, and find yourself facing an enemy that's extremely overpowered and one-hit kills you, which leaves you stunned.

    My only issue with the game is that it leaves a lot of things unanswered. I found myself googling how to reach other "islands", only to find out there is no way of getting to them. But let's be honest here, we aren't going to complain if they release a God of War II.

The new combat system works perfect to fit in the new game style and it is satisfying and smooth, and also challenging at times.
    The only thing that could possibly be improved is the fast travel system which requires extra time and effort to go through comparing with other games. However, this is also a necessary compromise made in order to sustain both revolutionary non-cut camera gameplay and modern fast travel. If the engine of the sequel is powerful enough to allow players to summon the travel door no matter where they are, the game will be absolutely flawless, which is hardly something anyone can expect to see in today's gaming industry.    … Expand

    IMO the best PlayStation 4 game till now. The new perspective fits very well to God Of War, the new game play style as well. It´s new, it´s fresh and emotional. Kratos with more emotion than hate. This feel right, this feel better than ever.

The PS4 Pro does HDR and so does the slim and the original model. HDR is what makes the games look better. If u had a 4k and a ps4 pro next to that same 4k tv and an original model PS4 there is literally zero difference in the graphics. You don't need a PRO, unless u want to stream ur gameplay on twitch because the Pro does 1080p streaming while the original only does 720p. other than that all u need is a 4k and ur gona smile ear to ear!!!!!

Don't respond to your friends or families phone calls good. Forget to eat since you have to finish that 'one' section good. That is a lot of praise so I want to talk about what I like and what I hope gets improved in the future:

    Graphics:
    Like other big budget games, I found myself running off the main path just take in all the imagery and splendor of this fully detailed world. Seeing the snow shift as you rustle through it, marveling at the tree bark looking at the grass part as you walk through it. Little details like that really stand out.

    Gameplay:
    What I probably appreciate most are the improvements to combat. Once you master the parry, side-step and roll you'll be able to maneuver through combat situation with ease. Add to that hard-hitting attacks, both light and heavy, the ability to continue a combo from a dodge (yes please) the ability to call back your axe during an attack and the ability to break an enemies defense, despite the level of challenge this game really lets you feel powerful. Once you know what you're doing, that is.

    All in all, God of War impresses in every way I expected and then some.

    To be honest, there isn't much I don't like, besides of course wishing the game was even longer, 30 hours went by really fast. I do wish there was a new game+ mode and I wish I could have all the stats of some of the higher armor without having to wear it since I personally prefer Kratos in the outfit he wears in the trailers.

    Really looking forward to future installments and I'll probably be supporting anything Cory Barlog and the team do for the foreseeable future.    … Expand

God of War is what the game industry should take note of when they have a franchise that is stale. Resident Evil 7 did it and now God of War reboot the gameplay while keeping it a sequel in the franchise. God of War revamps the gameplay from hack and slash dodging with timing puzzle that were controller breaking levels of frustration, to a slower pace more cinematic experience. The game is less like Devil May Cry and more like The Witcher 3 in how the combat is concerned. The game also basically eliminates the quick time events and insteads will just show you Kratos doing his brutal finishers which is nice. In previous games I was so much more concerned with hitting the right button I would miss out on some gorey goodness. That being said the game is significantly less gore filled than any of the other games. Which is bad and good at the same time. It removes the less campy feel of the series to bring a more serious tone to it. The scale of enemies however is vastly greater in the installment. I think it is because the camera is directly behind the character instead of a more isometric camera angle. So when you face a large enemy you will immediately notice the scale of them. The story is without a doubt the best the series has ever been. The story focuses on Kratos and his son Atreus going to the tallest mountain to release his wife's ashes. A simple quest turns into a daring one because they are being hunted by the Norse Gods themselves for reasons that are unknown to Kratos. This story is fantastic because it humanizes Kratos like we have never seen. Unlike the murder crazed loon we are used to Kratos is a stoic man who is only trying to teach his son how to survive and to avoid the mistakes that Kratos himself has made in the past. Now the most controversial character is Atreus because he is a child he will get on peoples nerves which is entirely understandable. He is has a point in the story the kid is unbearable, but that is apart of the story and there is a reason why. The game has a vast variety of likeable and deep characters you never expect to see in a God of War game.
    Overall I loved this game more than any other in the God of War series. (Which is saying a lot being I am a huge fan) The gameplay is revamped in the best way possible. The story is deep and engaging, and of course the game is beautiful to look at. I can't get enough of this game I want to forget about it so I can replay it again. Very few games are perfect, but God of War is one of these masterpieces that should not be missed. I of course give it a 10/10.    … Expand

In a time where echoes of 'SP is dead' (insert eyeroll here) ripple through the gameosphere, God of War shows that single player games can be immersive, interesting, beautiful, thought provoking, and FUN. The fluid combat had me itching to find more things to unleash my Leviathan axe upon, the mechanics had me clapping my lil hands like a baby seal, and the puzzles had me squealing with joy everytime I came upon another rune chest to open. The story is fantastic, and though you'll find no spoilers here, I will say by the end of it, my mind was blown and I am itching to play the next one. The beauty of the world around Kratos and Atreus is utterly captivating. i want to tell you my favorite places, but I won't because I enjoyed not knowing which areas I got to explore and which I didn't. It is this beauty that makes me quite happy to trundle along on my merry way back through a route I've already taken, which, I must point out for those of you who aren't too keen on back and forth-ing, happens often, but always with good cause and sometimes with a few more enemies along the way. The puzzles are not difficult to work out, and once you've found the core way of getting thngs done (or solved) you'll find this pretty easy. One thing to note is that you set the pace yourself in the game. If you want to stick to the core story, you can do that and streamline your way through to the end. If you're more of a puzzle seeker, wants-to-collect everything kind of player, God of War caters to you too. There are some challenges you'll need to work toward by making sure your strength, defense, armor, weapons etc are all up to par for the task at hand, but for me, this added to the beauty of the game. The way the story and the game are integrated is exceptional - there are no cut scenes with long sprawling dialogue. All in all, this game is a masterpiece and if you're even considering trying it, go forth and do so because it is by far the best game I have ever played. I do have one complaint, and it's picky at best, but now that I've completed the game, the long stretches of silence make me a bit sad as Mimir seems to have said all he had in his arsenal.… Expand

Sony Santa Monica Studio have made a game that is not only a masterpiece on its own, but also comes at a time when the video game industry seems to believe that single player games can't survive or be successful without a huge open world or tacked on multiplayer mode to sell. it doesn't have any microtransactions to bring inPlain and simple, God of War is one of the best games ever made. Sony Santa Monica Studio have made a game that is not only a masterpiece on its own, but also comes at a time when the video game industry seems to believe that single player games can't survive or be successful without a huge open world or tacked on multiplayer mode to sell. it doesn't have any microtransactions to bring in extra money either, and its all the better for it.
    Where other companies would take one look at adding a sequel to Kratos' journey and would give it a large open world filled with many icons and boring side missions that barely differ from each other, Santa Monica Studio decided to take a risk. A risk that paid off immensely as the game is not only being universally praised but also is the fastest selling playstation 4 game to date. its a love letter to gamers that enjoy a good story along with great gameplay. And God of War's gameplay is not only great, its incredible. The combat feels satisfying and rewarding all while being just as brutal as before. The progression and rpg elements may seem confusing at first, but once you understand them, they become a very fun and useful system that adds even more strategy to the already fantastic combat. I also rarely encountered any bugs or glitches throughout my near 40 hours spent in the game. The beautiful graphics look amazing and are even more impressive considering the camera never cuts, not even for a cut-scene. This makes the game feel more immersive and personal than just about any game I've ever played. It makes the action set pieces and big story moments feel even better and more powerful as well. To go along with it is the fantastic performances by the cast. Of course, Kratos and Atreus are at the forefront, but the supporting characters are also very well acted and voiced.
    The level design is impeccable, it encourages exploration and finding secret areas better than any linear game ever made. Its also all the more satisfying to see huge action sequences tear up the area and make you change up your play style. The levels and exploration are nearly flawless in execution, and make replaying or revisiting them utter joys.
    My only complaints about the game, and they are minor, would be that I would like more challenge in some of the games main story boss fights as well as more boss fights in the games story mode. However, the optional valkyrie boss fights are great and provided me with some very challenging fights that could took me anywhere from two to over twenty tries to complete.
    Overall, God of War proves to be an innovative, polished, fun gaming tour de force. It throws out unsavory business practices and exchanges them for the simplicity of just making a good game as one of your main selling points. And Sony Santa Monica Studio has not only made one of the best games of all time, but also the best game of this generation. And I cant wait to see where the series goes next.    … Expand

    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    Hmm First I have to say to the people of Metacritic, You should make system where someone check the reviews first.

    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

    God of War is back and it is everything expected and more. In this entry the story is handled with the use of emotion and conflict, prioritising the use of expression and body language, over the use of conversation. The gameplay is the biggest change since the last games, donning a single shot camera, from a view in which we observe everything from an 'over the shoulder' view.

The gameplay is the biggest change since the last games, donning a single shot camera, from a view in which we observe everything from an 'over the shoulder' view. The combat is fluid and fun, although if you allow yourself to become surrounded, a winning battle might turn very quickly. A suprise for me on this game is its difficulty. Enemies will flank, team up, charge at you, launch projectiles, and pretty much do anything to bring down Kratos, and it is more so than ever, important to consider your approach during and before battle. The enemies in this installment are crafted incredibly well, making the use of mythological accounts and modern textures to create new abominations during your journey. The enemies feel smart, refined and ghoulish enough to make the player pay attention to every little detail on their model. The gore has been toned down from the last games, although due to the new attitude of this game it is not missed, although toned down, the violence does still exist in the heart of God of War. This is a fantastic new entry and truly is one of the better games of this generation.… 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.
