    This game was simply breathtaking from its fantastic visuals and very good level designs. I found myself being able to explore the vast locations and still being able to find secrets and other hidden chests even after finishing the game.

I found myself being able to explore the vast locations and still being able to find secrets and other hidden chests even after finishing the game. I found that a lot of love and care was put in each area of this game.

    The story is also very good from start to finish which really makes you wanting more. The journey makes you connected and emotionally invested in Kratos and Atreus and wanting to see them succeed in their journey. The combat also is excellent and had a variety of skills to learn which kept the combat feeling fresh at all times throughout the journey

    Overall i had an amazing time with this game and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an amazing story.    … Expand

    This game continues to amaze me to a grand level, not only do you feel like a god, you can see how kratos developed ever since he became a father. The worlds and mythology are well done.

    The hype around this game is real. I'm not sure where to begin, so much of God of War is simply breath taking. This is the game of the generation, nothing comes close to this game. Graphics are the best ever seen on a console game, it gives most PC games a run for their money. The story is a brilliant coming of age tale that will delight you. The combat is amazing and actually VERY deep.The hype around this game is real. I'm not sure where to begin, so much of God of War is simply breath taking.

    For me this is best God of War ever. Can't wait for sequel, good job Cory Barlog and Sony Santa Monica Studio, this game is true masterpiece. VERY good story and voice acting, good boi, no glitches, great music and audio and really good graphics (= U4/H:ZD). This game is in my top 5 games. Ubi/Activision look at this, that's how games should be done, with your heart.

    God of War is simply the best game I have ever played in all my years of gaming. It is truly a masterpiece. From the combat to the story, God of War is an incredible journey that I will never forget. If you own a PS4, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

    A game most definitely worthy of a 10 rating. The only criticism i have is that no trophy should be made impossible if you progress very far into the game. I have only three trophies left and one is the "Primordial" trophy but I've gotten past the ending of the game and can no longer reach the ice ancient.

I have only three trophies left and one is the "Primordial" trophy but I've gotten past the ending of the game and can no longer reach the ice ancient. It is annoying as the last save I have that would allow to reach it has only two ancients defeated. It is frustrating that I will have to hunt them all down again for one trophy. Apart from that I see no faults in the game.… Expand

    Jogo quase perfeito, só acho que poderia ter uma história mais longa. A repetição dos bosses realmente é um pouco chata e impede uma nota 10, mas não atrapalha em nada a diversão. Jogando agora no GMGOW depois de platinar no normal e continuo curtindo totalmente...

La historia de Kratos es impecable y la forma en que se cuenta en esta nueva entrega es fascinante.

    This game is one of the best games ever created, from gameplay, story, mechanics and historical accuracy. Norse religion/mythology is a complicated one and a huge acomplishment to get it right, wether its the portrayal of Thor's sons or the history Mimir teaches you is spot on with the most conclusive stories of the lore. The dificulty aspect is amazing, it isnt impossible to play yetThis game is one of the best games ever created, from gameplay, story, mechanics and historical accuracy. Norse religion/mythology is a complicated one and a huge acomplishment to get it right, wether its the portrayal of Thor's sons or the history Mimir teaches you is spot on with the most conclusive stories of the lore. The dificulty aspect is amazing, it isnt impossible to play yet challenging even on the easiest level. The God of war setting does not allow you to switch dificulty during that campaign (dark souls, bloodborne esque) which is very intense. Sidequests are not only in more abundance but more meaningful, MUCH more and the added story and comedy with the dwarves is added in so smoothly. The dynamic story, gameplay and replay value makes this possibly the best single game created I would buy a PS4 just for this game and there are no other single titles I would do that for. A phenomenal series and phenomenal game.

    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.
