    one of the best games i have ever played. a must play if you like story and character heavy games, with good game-play and a great world to explore.

    note that if you don't like story heavy games with a lot of cut scenes and walking/climbing. it is unlikely you will like this game

    One of the best games of the generation. Sony Santa Monica hit the reset button and made Kratos an interesting character. The world building, the combat, the story and the interesting characters of the Nordic lore all come together to make for a remarkable time spent playing this game.

    Fantastic is a word that defines this game very well. Both in graphics, gameplay and story it surpassed its predecessors. The missions are interesting and the progression is natural. With a surprising ending, I look forward to the sequel.

    Juego aceptable pero decepcionante. Hay muuuy poca variedad de enemigos, el combate se hace repetitivo, pocos bosses, la cámara esta muy cerca de Kratos, el sistema de armaduras me parece innecesario y poco original.

    I understand that the game is good, but I tried 4 or 5 times to force myself to play it.

    I get bored from the storytelling, from the gameplay. Many friends told me that I just needed to play more, but even after 6-7 stories, I lost the desire to continue. I do not have enough dynamics, I do not like the dialogues of Kratos with his son.

    Let me say that this game is a 4 or 5 at best. But I do want to mention that this game jaw droopingly gorgeous at 4k 60FPS on PS5 and all the environments designs are excellent. Also the combat is great but after a while it can become spongy because of level gating and rpg elements restricting quick finishes and doesn't make you feel like God of War.

    The story in this game is ok at    Let me say that this game is a 4 or 5 at best.

Also the combat is great but after a while it can become spongy because of level gating and rpg elements restricting quick finishes and doesn't make you feel like God of War.

    The story in this game is ok at best. I'd argue older games had more engaging story and that the dialogue made sense. Older games showed you what happened instead of telling you all the from 1 expression(sad/moody) Kratos in this 2018 reboot. The pacing in this game is so bad/slow that as soon as I felt the game was about to end there was roadblock in the story and I was only half way through. Not to mention so many pointless loot chests, Lore and item collection which are not exactly shown where on the map they are. Even side quest and puzzles become repetitive where in older games they felt part of the narrative.

    - RPG elements
    This game did not needed the rpg elements at all. There are so many of item chests you have to open to find materials to upgrade/buy or craft at the shop. Every-time you get something new your old things are useless. I hate character level ups which invites grinding except for borderlands where levelling up slowly while you progress you get new items/guns throughout the story. In Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart your weapons are upgraded as you play them and you don't just throw out your old weapons.

    - Level designs and enemy variety
    The amount of enemy variety and lack of level design is mind blowing for a AAA game.

    - Restricted movement and platforming
    The only movement he has is walking and running in tight environments. Dodging and rolling is ok. Everything from jumping(Also no double jumping), to climbing and walking along the walls is automated. There is no unique traversal.
    - Empty world
    I mean literally this game has less than 10 proper npc’s not counting enemies
    - Restricted camera
    The camera is so close it just looks and feels out of place everything feels naturally uneven in the game world.
    - Game could have been half its playtime while including the story and side quest content.

    I would not play this game again in my life and spend 40hours on it. But I have played the old God of War games so many times and have already played God of War 3 remastered 4 times already and am still impressed every-time I boot it up.

    They should have focused more on interesting level design with improved traversal and better/unique enemy types that doesn’t take forever to take down.    … Expand

It's got some of the greatest fight scenes in gaming, with incredible set pieces that absolutely stole my breath away. Kratos is just so brilliant, and Atreus was so well written as a young boy torn apart by his godly powers but also just by being the son of a stoic, unfeeling father.

    God of War is one of the best games in my opinion, Incredible visuals, a lot of research and a big world, with a well-developed combat system that allows you to feel the game, I recommend it to every user!

    God of War 4 is luckiest game to ever exist in the gaming history.

    Back in 2017 and up until now, games nowadays are released half finished, buggy and filled with micro-transactions BS and other untraditional business models that don't reward gamers that want to be good at the game.

    It manages to both please the propaganda media with it's agenda to replace every gaming aspect with movie-sob scenes with minimal gameplay & gameplay difficulty as possible
    And the majority of the gamers who since then have long dropped any standard expectations of a video game to have.

    - It provides the wanna be TLOU1 story with the son-father relationship, only with barely any sense of story direction
    - It provides a new combat that is different from the original, yet it's barely polished and tested, so they added in the LVL system bullsh-i-t to let players grind their way to the finish line
    - Provides more than 6 hours of play by having dull side missions that only serve to damage even more the directionless plot
    - Graphics look nice, but 60FPS be damned, let's stick to 30FPS. Don't worry if you're a PC player. Sony really isn't trying to save it's dying console brand anyway

    Besides that, the game lacks in obvious areas where's the old GoW games didn't:

    - Enemy variety
    - Boss variety
    - A **** JUMP button

    It's no surprise why Shuhei Yoshida "was horrified" when he 1st saw the game.
    It didn't live up to the GoW standards, and with Cory's fascination for writing "a script" and not a "game script", it's no wonder why video games strayed away from their core purpose. I.E. ..... TO DELIVER A FUN GAME TO PLAY

    So how come, with all these level of mediocre mechanics, did the gaming community still endorse this?
    For the the simple reason that GoW4 is a video-game product that is sold in the traditional way that doesn't asks more money from the player.

    - It's finished
    - Tested (alteast to the level it's serviceable)
    - Offers more than enough content to justify its price
    - And as I said before, you buy it, you get it. There's no catch. It's atleast honest.

    Wake me up, when clunky combat in video games is ancient history.    … Expand

    Good

    - the co-op combat to build stagger between Arteus and Kratos is fun. Stagger kills were very satisfying to pull off. - many varieties of ways to fight. Hand-to-hand, chains of chaos, and axe. Each has their own unique play style, and uses for certain types of enemies. Cool upgrades on each weapon as well, giving diversity to the way you want to fight. Every attack felt powerful.    Good

    - the semi-open world was great. Not as linear as the old gows, but also not too big of a sand box to get overwhelmed.

    - parrying system was awesome. The reaction time they gave felt fair, and everytime I got a parry, it was satisfying, and if I didn't it usually felt fair.

    - rage mode was a useful way to clutch out fights, like an X factor. Also very satisfying to use.

    - characters voices and acting were designed very well. All movement and expressions felt real. The dwarfs were a nice comic relief.

    - Puzzles were generally fun to solve. Not too difficult, not too long.

    - throwing the axe around was fun.

    - There is a lot more focus on story, and the story was very interesting. The focus on parent and child dynamics was interesting.

    - the upgrading system was just the right amount of complexity for me. I would have hated if GoW went the route of heavy RPG like Assassin's creed did. Luckily it did not.

    Bad

    - the game felt a tad short, ended a little abruptly.
    - I don't like how the devs let you continue a boss fight in the middle if you died. It feels like cheating, like using a save state. I would have preferred restarting the boss fight from the beginning.

    - Would have liked to see more characters mentioned and make more cameos from the past, like Zeus, Athena, Gaia, Pandora, and the other Gods. Athena was a big part of Krato's story, yet she only showed up once in a vision.

    - not a lot of epic sky combat where Kratos is flying all over the place and fighting a huge monster. This only happened in like one or two fights. GoW 3 had a lot of these epic fights.    … Expand

    - Why is this game called "God of War"??!!!!!
    From "God of war" here is only the main character. God of War from part 1 to part 3 were great slashers, and this is a completely different game.
    - Axe, Some terrible axe shooter.
    - Very boring gameplay, uninteresting fights with enemies.
    - Semi-open world, endless walking back and forth.
    - Monotonous, uninteresting enemies.
    - RPG elements, of which there are too many.

    As a result, if in this game the main character did not look like Kratos from the original "God of War", I would have fewer complaints. And so it's a completely different game unfortunately.
    The game is too overrated.    … Expand

    They ruined the game with the updates.
    Terrible illumination
    Frame-rate at 15 constantly.
    Pixelated everywhere.
    Sometimes looks like a PS2 game.

    Update 03/02/2022: They fixed the game and now in PC looks amazing!!

    Without a doubt, it is the best game I have ever played. You don't have to like action and fighting games to enjoy this masterpiece. Recommended in all aspects: a story of 10, perfect durability expandable with secondary missions, and non-stop emotions with its deep story. In short, the perfect game.

God of War itself leads to very enjoyable moments but with everything, there's a catch. There is a lack of different points of view, the creator should have put more support characters to help guide the story. Also, the presence of more supporting characters would help the story by giving more than one viewpoint of the main conflicts. Through all its challenges and puzzles I would not be surprised if this game soon became ranked #1 for the year, because of the well-accredited reviews and wonderful gameplay that it provides.… Expand

    Incredibly fun game, but personally I do not see it as "one of the best games ever made". However, the Baldur boss fights is the best boss battles i have ever encountered in a video game. The final battle with him is literally so good I can't even explain it

    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.
