    I mean wow. I went in to this thinking it was going to be a mediocre experience because you know - just another God of War game lol. How wrong I was. Turns out that when everything just lines up perfectly, you have a 10/10 game. And in a world of grindy empty and unfocussed games this was so refreshing to see.

The limitations of this game are the limitations of technology - apart from that it's a solid 10/10 with the highest seal of approval one could give.… Expand

    Incredible game. Impressive visuals and story. Combat is easy to pick up, but very deep if you want to get really into it. Great sense of a massive world filled with colorful and interesting characters. Definitely one of the best PS4 games.

    This game has easily become one of my favourite games of all time, everything about it is amazing, the story, the lore, the bosses, the journey, the environment and the emotion behind every aspect of the game. I don’t know what else to say, it’s an experience you need to have, buy it. This is worth much more than $60-$100.

    The Last of Us is arguably the greatest story based game ever made and God of War sits right next to it. God of War franchise has always been something special but this takes it to another level.

    I recommend this game to everyone that owns PS4 console. Must have title. Beautiful graphics, probably the best graphics that have ever been released on PS4 system. Beautifully crafted visuals and music. But also amazing story be told here. This game has no microtransactions and it also proves how single player games are needed and wanted.

    God Of War is back and better then ever! Pick up this one. The story, music, game play and graphics are all perfect. There is also a lot of thing to do in the game with a colossal lifespan which is very rare these days especially for solo games. Just buy this game if you are a old fan of the series or new!

    Well, everyone is praising the graphics, history and gameplay of the new God of War, that he's amazing is no longer a surprise to anyone.

    But I would like to take this space to congratulate the impeccable work that Ricardo Juarez did in the dubbing of Kratos for Brazil, is really excellent, my congratulations, and congratulations to all the team involved in this masterpiece.

    First of all I think this is the best God of War game "SO FAR". With this new implemented rpg elements that they added makes the game a masterpiece. With the environment, characters, and especially with the dialogues that sometimes can make you laugh and remember some scene from the previous games cause of the references.

It answers the question, no one did before. Graphic or gameplay? God of war answers with a simple, yet almost impossible answer, which is both. There is no need to talk about the music, the voice action or anything like that, this came from sony santa monica, we know it's gonna be perfect.
    What we didn't know, was that how the gameplay will feel after the "reboot"(Btw this is not a reboot)
    In my opinion, this game is 10/10 because it grew up, as for a child, all I wanted is to rage. As a grown up I'm different, and so are this game. They decided to capture their maturing audience, and please them with an experience like never before.
    thank you sony santa monica!

    Don't believe the shameless 0/10 reviews! Those are obviously fake and were written by pure haters. If someone /genuinely/ believes this groundbreaking game deserves a score of 0 or so, then he or she are either lying or are simply ignorant. Just my two cents.

    This game offers a lot of high-quality content and is one of the best games on PS4.
    Gameplay and controlls are smooth and so are the levels.
    Graphics are looking stunning even on a console and on a PS4 PRO with 4k and HDR this is actually one of the best games I ve ever seen.
    I would definitely recommend.

Those that are hating on its difference from the original gameplay mechanics, I must say to you that it’s an improvement as Square squad square triangle should never be the mechanic for gameplay. I love the diversity in how I can fight my way through my enemies. People are claiming it’s too cinematic, well I would argue that it adds to the game as an artistic story and in one glorious shot no less (unless you die). To those that are complaining about its resemblance to other action adventures, what the hell is wrong with that? You have countless first person shooters and you don’t trash on those games for the repeated mechanic. All in all 10/10 isn’t deserved. Well done Santa Monica well done.… Expand

    This game is easily the greatest PS4 game I have ever played. The game-play is flat-out phenomenal and the combat is more devastating than ever. The scenery and the environment of the game looks incredible, ranging from the breath-taking mountains and lush forests. God of War is truly a masterpiece that I highly encourage others to play for themselves.

    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]
