    When Kratos was fighting and killing gods.I said "This game series its gonna be like cod nothing new just the same game over and over".But now i think that Sony Santa Monica neilt it.I was completely into the story Kratos trying to teach his son how to survive and fight is a great combination.And by my stander i think this on of if not the best PlayStantion exclusive of all time.

    After 15 hours of playing i can definitely say, that this is one of the best mature action-adventure games in this genereation. Brilliant story, a nice father and son relationship and a combat system that reaches its complexity more and more as you progress through the diversified and wonderful world. (10/10)

    God of War is best of: Zelda + Last of Us + Uncharted + Horizon Zero Dawn + old GoW in one game, but better.

    solamente puedo decir... wow en todos os aspectos, el cambio le hizo un gran bien ala franquicia, las nuevas mecanicas se sienten mas frescas y el combate mucho mas brutal de lo que antes era, la forma en la que mezcla las cinematicas con gameplay que practicamente ni se nota hace un combate masdinamico... lo mejor de esta generacion hasta ahora y de lo mejor en la historia de los videojuegos

It's one thing just to make a game, its another thing to create an experience and that's what God of War is, an experience like no other.

Make no mistake, this is a God of War game. A game that would define a console generation in my opinion. Be it combat, story, graphics, pacing or gameplay, this game is going to be PlayStation's crown jewel. A true system seller like no other. A masterpiece that truly explains the line "video games is a form of art". Congrats to Cory Barlog and Sony Santa Monica for this remarkable success and achieving one thing that I once thought impossible, turning Kratos into a likeable character.… Expand

    If you are xbox fanboy now it's very bad time to be proud about it. This game is nothing less than masterpiece. Great story, great characters and graphics too. Light is awesome in this game and it makes this piece one of the best looking games ever. Combat is also very good. After many hours of gameplay it is still not repetitive. Hot Adept for Game of the Year for me.

    Solo llevo 3 horas de juego y ya me he quedado con la boca abierta mas de 10 veces el sistema de combate antes de probarlo no me gustaba mucho pero una vez que lo pruebas quieres usar el hacha todo el rato ademas pensaba que el niño iba a ser un NPC inútil pero es de gran ayuda y una ingeniosa manera para introducir al lore del juego.

Se mantiene fiel a su estilo brutal y pero con una profunda maduración del protagonista. Ha recibido duras criticas de parte de un sector radical que solo observa aspectos cuantitativos y no valora la mejestuosdad del buen trabajo hecho por Sony Santa Monica. A todas estas, surgen las siguientes interrogantes: ¿Cual es el problema que sigan creando juegos lineales o de un solo jugador? Quien o que autoridad dice que todos los juegos obligatoriamente deben ser de mundo abierto ?, Ciertamente la industria del videojuego está cambiando y desarrollandose exponencialmente y los jugadores son cada vez más exigentes, pero estoy de acuerdo con aquellos que afirman o que aun queda ciclo de vida útil para juegos con estas caracteristicas. Simplemente si a alguien no le gusta que no juegue.

    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.
