    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off there are a lot of salty xbix fanboys posting bad reviews so stay out of those.
    So the game?its AMAZING.as good as it comes.more games like this should be made.it immersed me in its setting,its amazingly deep and complex combat system,amazing graphics,heartfelt emotional frigging awesome story and setting,amazing soundtrack,DAT ONESHOT CAMERA,....
    Do yourself a favour and buy it
    Soke sugestions would be include more weapons in the sequel(but the weapons that are there are so deep and complex),more enemies and...thats it.these are nitpicky observations
    THANK YOU CORY BARLOG AND SANTA MONICA FOR THIS GEM OF A GAME

    Absolutely stunning.Even on a regular ps4 the visual are stunning.Surely, Santa Monica studios and Naughty dog know how to push the Ps4 consoles to the absolute limit, The art direction and the visual and voice acting are godly, I liked how they change the style of this franchise.From a hack n slash game to a slow paced and story driven game. A surely Masterpiece !

    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.

    This game is probably the most magnificent game I've ever played. It's big, spectacular and the details are unbelievable. From the skin of Kratos, his muscles in action, the quality of every texture, to the snow on the floor and the reflections. Everything is a delight.
    The gameplay is a bit hard to master, but it's never unfair and there are plenty of possibilities : combo with the axe,

    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".
    If you have a PS4, you must try this game

    Despite the Negative reviews telling that this game is a clone of The Last of Us, (which in my OPINION this GOW is much better and superior) Solid points of this game: great combat, nice visual, great story writing. And the most lovable Relationship about a Dad and his son.... This game is a Masterpiece and it deserves high ratings. BUY IT NOW its a must have on PlayStation 4 !

    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!

    P.S: An advice for those XBOX fans who got hurt, and trying to ruin the god of war score, get off. Go ask Microsoft to bring you some good IP's instead of thinking just about a useless device which can render 1000K videos, but lacks a single nice exclusive to keep its fans satisfied!!!

Believe the critics that showed their appreciation with the well deserved reviews. Cory and his team deserve it.
    All the negative comments come from ones who only favor one platform over another. They are not true gamers, just individuals that stay on one side off the fence.
    Games like this drive the industry forward. Forcing the others to work as hard if not harder to make a great game. Competition is good.

En lo personal considero que el cambio era necesario, pues ya habían 6 juegos de god of war con mecánicas similares y de todas formas cualquier cambio que sea para mejorar el juego, bienvenido sea.

    It's different to previous entries, but everything was changed for the better. Kratos feels like a complete, "real" person rather than the one dimensional character from the first 3 games, the voice acting, combat, OST, all are remarkable. No BS micro transactions or anything of the sort. A must play.

    O melhor God of War, batalhas cotinuam épicas e dinamicas, a narrativa mais profunda com Kratos mais complexo e Brutal como sempre mas não com a mesma intensidade claro graças a seu Filho Atreus que é uma ótima adição ao jogo, o jogo é enorme repleto de inimigos e Bosses....

    This game is absolutely astonishing. From the gameplay mechanics to the awesome story to the amazingly detailed graphics. I'm 4 hours in and I'm totally hooked. And this game isn't linear at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game.And it was good that Cory came back for the new God of War. Absolute Masterpiece. Cory barlog is a genius.
    Don't listen to the people who speak the game badly just because a lot has changed and they can not handle it. Any real God of war fan would appreciate that and also had to come to innovations. Away from Greek mythology, into a new world, a new chapter, a new story. This game is for any passionate gamers who are open to something new. new game mechanics. Do not be persuaded by the people who give these bad ratings because they deliberately want to talk the game bad. do not feed the trolls. You just have to love this game. no matter in which regard. It is a mastepiece on a very high level.The graphics,the gameplay and the story. It's a pure high level game.Thank you Sony,thank you Cory and Santa Monica for those great hours with god of war. unforgettable.It's more than perfect.

    O melhor jogo da franquia e talvez o melhor jogo de ps4,God of War se reinventou para trazer um mundo de deuses e monstros para muito mais perto de nós humanos.A narrativa e toda a história demonstrando o outro lado da maquina de matar que sempre foi o Kratos.
    Graficos absurdos e o ponto alto no desenvolvimento das batalhas,um jogo para quem acompanhou a jornada de Kratos até aqui e tbm

    God of War for the PS4 is a very special moment in gaming history. There is no other game out right now that combines all the essential elements of a single player game and does them so well. It is not an innovation of anything really but a masterpiece of the genre. The camera literally never cuts from the start of the game until the end.

Sure there are lots of cinematic moments but these moments seamlessly intertwine giving you the most immersive experience ever created in a game. Although this new God of War and has a heavy focus on story, characters, and cinematic art quality this game still has the feel of old-school God of War its combat and puzzles. So many good surprises in this game, don't spoil it for yourself, just play it. Don't let the haters deter you, they will only ever like the old God of War, and that's fine. This is the future of Sony Santa Monica and those who don't like it can stay behind. Expand

    A work of art that the developed poured their hearts and souls into for 5 years. One thing that worried me is that it might be like Uncharted with an axe instead of guns.

    Jogo bonito, lapidado, ótimo gameplay, ótimos personagens, ótimos inimigos e combos agressivos. Katros se mudou sua personalidade depois de tudo que aconteceu, mas não perdeu sua essência. Só posso dizer que é GOTY 2018.

    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]
