    God of War 4 c'est la fusion de Kratos pour les quelques combats qui restent, Lara Croft pour la quantité de tombeaux à piller et de Denis la brocante pour la montagne de breloques à trouver. Le jeu est très beau certes, mais il est monotone. De plus la carte et l'interface sont peu pratiques. Et biensûr le moutard Atreus est pénible.

    Я дюблю эту игру, это шедевр игровой индустрии, спасибо сони за такой экз, побольше бы таких)
    Надеюсь продолжение не разочирует как это случилось со вторым ТЛОУ... ибо одни из нас 2 это полный пиздец и провал...

    The best God of War to date! I loved this game and everything about it (even crybaby Balder). This game stand as one of the top 10 maybe even top 5 games of this generation and worth of all accolades. The father and son relationship between Kratos and son makes this game unique. The action is amazing, the RPG elements bring depth and replayability. Can't wait for the sequel (I know theThe best God of War to date!

    Играть советую на максимальной уровне сложности. Бои сразу становятся другими более шикарными. но будут проблемы до момента, когда сможете менять шмот и распределять навыки. Как все появится, так сразу сложность станет нормальной.

    Absolutely phenomenal. One of the best stories i have ever seen in a game, it drags you in for every twist and turn. The voice acting is out of this world, you can feel the emotion as Kratos grows as a person and as a father throughout the game.

    в этой игре всё просто охуенно но есть одна проблемка:
    мне попалось два бага за игру:один жёсткий ,другой нет.
    Первый баг заключался в том ,что жопа Атрея (я извиняюсь но это правда) застряла на начале локации а дальше тянулась как ёбаный флекс тейп .Второй баг лёгкий:Атрей застрял за порталом в мир между мирами но потом я отошёл и всё стало ок.Ну а так это буквально самая лучшая игра в    в этой игре всё просто охуенно но есть одна проблемка:

    This game has got to be the poster child for how broken video game reviews are. If I had to pick one word to describe God of War, that word is Boring.

If I had to pick one word to describe God of War, that word is Boring. And while I wouldn't expect every reviewer to have played the PS2 games in this franchise and thus be so disappointed with the many steps backwards this game has taken, I find it impossible to believe that any person of their own free will rated this game a 10.

    If this game is better than Horizon: Zero Dawn (as the review scores would indicate), then I'm the Prince of Persia.

    The most glaring problem, one that kneecaps the whole game, is that Kratos is a pu**y. Yes. Read that again. Kratos, the son of Zeus, mythical embodiment of the concept of strength, is a huge pu**y. Oh, he can perform all manner of godly feats of strength...in a cutscene. But once you assume control of him, he's got all the battlefield presence of Gumby with Cerebral Palsy. In the previous GoW games, Kratos delivered the beatings. In this, he receives them. Most every enemy you face can kill the God of War in 3 hits, and quite a few can do it in less.

    The combat itself is terrible. It's like a Souls game, without the variety or the tight control scheme that make Souls games worthwhile.

    Apparently not satisfied that they had turned Kratos into a pu**y, the devs felt they needed to further estrogen-soak the whole affair by afflicting us with Kratos annoying son, hereafter referred to as Choad because I can't be bothered to remember his name. Choad spends the game reprising the role of Forest Gump to Kratos Lieutenant Dan, incessantly spitting out dialogue to make you aware of things that are either obvious, or irrelevant. Thank you, Choad, for letting me know something is coming through the wall. I could not feel the ground shaking, see the wall falling apart, or hear the beast beating on it. Whatever would I do without you, Choad?

    Choad can take a beating much better than Kratos, though, so at least someone isn't completely worthless. I wish I could tell you one of these losers dies at the end, but alas it's not to be.

    The dialogue is likewise awful, a hackney affair of no substance whatsoever. The Last of Us did everything this game tries to do, better, a generation ago. The Teal'c and Choad Show just isn't very interesting. Chris Judge could have been a great voice actor for Kratos, but no. Sony clearly told him to re-summon his inner Jaffa, then overdosed him with antidepressants. A more flat, monotone treatment of this character would be hard to imagine, and that's especially irritating since they did it deliberately.

    A simple remake of the original GoW series would have been ten times the game this PoS is.    … Expand

    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]
