    Este juego es de las mayores gemas que tiene PS4 junto contra otros maravillosos y artisticos juegos exclusivos.Praticamente lo llevo jugando desde hace un año y nunca deja de enamorarme y encantarme my Goty de 2018.

    I love the god of war series. This is the version I like the most so far, I like the axe extremely, the feeling of fighting monsters is great.

    This is one of the best game ever. I experienced every system in the game, and there are nothing new in the game. But Balance, between contents and scenario, is amazing as so the witcher 3, It is perfect for me, and I can recommend this game who love story-based game or action game.

    This is for me the game of the generation and the best game I have ever played in 25 years of playing games. The story, combat, lore and graphics are just sublime. Well done Santa Monica, you tried something new, something risky and it paid off BIG TIME. I genuinely cannot fault this game and cannot WAIT for GOW5 on the PS5.

    I can't explain how wonderful this game is. The story, the game play, the characters are all just amazing. It's the first game I completed 100% and I wanted to. My heart jumped when he went back to his blades of chaos. I was ready to kill even more.

    This might be the best PS4 game I have ever played. Gameplay, story everything was perfect. Played it twice, might play it again in year or two.

    Я не играл в предыдущие версии игры God of War, но эта так зашла, что два раза перепрошел её не торопясь. Графика СУПЕР, музыка СУПЕР, геймплей СУПЕР и сюжет даёт возможность на шикарное продолжение которое жду с нетерпением, ведь интересно увидеть больше битв с скандинавскими богами)))Я не играл в предыдущие версии игры God of War, но эта так зашла, что два раза перепрошел её не торопясь.

    El mejor juego de ps4 hasta la fecha!
    Lo que hizo santa monica es digno de un estudio con talento y pasion por lo que hace.

    La vuelta de Kratos es realmente épica, una obra maestra señores!

    To hear tell, one might be inclined to think this is a miracle game, but it is not. It’s boring and repetitive. You’ll want to rage quit after you hear the 1000th “boy” being called out, and the repetition in enemy types is infuriating. The story is ok, but lots of plot holes ruins it. My advise: skip this one unless it is free.

    The storyline is awesome and not trivial, the atmosphere is epic! Gameplay is funny and absolutely well done.
    Main bosses are not so hard but some enemies and optional bosses are really hard and funny to fight.
    It's a masterpiece, no words

    There's not much I wanna say tbh, just go play the game. I'd write a long review, but I just want you to go play the game.

    I truly feel like this game is the first actual perfect game. The character development, the story, gameplay, everything. It's perfect

    10/10. its simple with god of war! i had a long enjoyment whit it. with new character of Kratus and all of his Attack and anger and his nice bully. of course a Scandinavian story with a Greek mythology character was so great. this game is a real entertainment.

    Great story and challenging gameplay. Loved Mimir’s story’s. The only draw back would be the side missions. I wish they were more prominent and had more incentives to do them. Other then that a perfect game!

    Combat for me is amazing. Also love the stories that are told in the game. The first boss fight is one of the best boss fight scenes i have played in a game

    A perfect evolution from the series to the new generation, this basically sums up the game well.

    The return of the furious Spartan warrior was made well. God of War is already a great contender for game of the year and you shouldn't miss it. [Issue#285]

    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.
