    I have played this game 5 times and only loved it more with each playthrough. This game radiates quality and care because of the incredible team and Santa Monica Studio. To think that we’ve only scratched the surface of norse mythology since this was primarily a father-son story is absurd. I absolutely love this game and can not wait for more.

    It can be said that this game is nothing but a masterpiece, graphically in terms of story, in terms of music and everything, this game is great and I hope God of war Ragnarok is as big as God of war 4 . I think the god of war Ragnarok will be better than all the god of wars and there is no doubt about it .

    Seems like GoW took most of the good things from modern games and rejected the ugly ones. It also knew what it wanted to do.
    As a result of that, its a great game.

Retrospectively It feels like I was sitting in a dark hole before all the time, where everybody was talking about FPS, resolution, anti aliasing and stupid benchmarks. It has turned out, that those attributes says absolutely nothing about how much fun you will have when playing a game. For me it was truly a revelation. God of War demonstrates perfectly that awesome graphics and incredible story combined with addictive gameplay is possible. Something that was never seen on the PC or XBox platform so far. My biggest respect to Santa Monica Studio for giving us one of the most glorious game which was ever made!… Expand

    Ce jeu est un chef d'oeuvre absolu. L'histoire et la narration sont magnifique, le jeu des acteurs est ce qui se fait de mieux et les graphismes décors, animations sont à tomber par terre. Ce god of war m'a autant fait halluciner que le 1er à son époque. C'est du grand art.

    This game is a work of art. I often found myself standing during the climatic portions of the game, the gameplay was that compelling. Plus the story is better than cinema movie releases.

    Melhor jogo do playstation 4, junto com red dead 2, nele você realmente sente toda a força de um deus da guerra, com gráficos e dublagens impecáveis e uma historia de amarrar você no sofá junto ao seu controle e console.

    Cette fois Kratos n'est plus le bourrin que l'on avait connu. Les combats se montrent plus techniques que c'est prédécesseur, mais pour autant la recette ne prend pas pour moi au niveau du gameplay, y compris pour son level-design certes magnifique, mais il faudra régulièrement revenir sur ces pas lors de l'aventure, et ça ce n'est pas génial...

God of War me partage donc entre sa direction artistique aux **** oignons et son gameplay qui me laisse extrêmement perplexe…

God of War è un gioco impeccabile nel gameplay, nel comparto tecnico, nelle musiche, nelle atmosfere a cui è capace di dar vita grazie ad ambientazioni parecchio ispirate. Il punto forte del gioco è sicuramente la narrativa, capace di far emergere al meglio i personaggi in quello che è un riuscitissimo unico piano sequenza. Questa generazione pochi sono stati all'altezza di Santa Monica Studio, è davvero difficile raggiungere un colosso del genere… Expand

Literally everything in the God of War is done to peak perfection. It’s got an absolute legendary story to tell, very strong, fun and engaging combat, and looks beautiful. You go on an adventure like no other. The characters are all very well written and the voice acting is incredible. It took me about 20 or so hours to beat, and once you’re done you still have the option to take on many side quests, find collectibles, scavenge for more items and upgrades. The game has a surprising depth to its many usable gear, armor, perks, stat boosts, just about everything you could expect. God of War comes with many features you’d expect in a game of its caliber. It’s got the usual new game + for second playthroughs, a ton of menus for seeing any extra miscellaneous items, difficulty settings, and so on and so forth. I love everything there is to love about God of War, and I would consider this to be one of the best experiences I’ve had in all my many years of playing video games. I would highly recommend anyone who likes games in general to go and play this masterpiece right now.

    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]
