    One of the best games I've played.
    - It has an interesting story. I love the switch to Norse mythology. They are relatively true to historical context. Where they do take liberties on the mythology, it feels like it fits in naturally or at least makes sense and is necessary to fit with the context of the game's themes and stories.
    - a big open world that feels alive and full of    One of the best games I've played.

    - a big open world that feels alive and full of gameplay,
    - a well thought-out battle system that requires both quick reaction and deliberate strategy to succeed.
    - Good progression. Plenty of opportunities to customize gear & play style.
    - Great character design & development. The characters are have a rich backstory revealed slowly through small dialogues & banter throughout the game.
    - The game is absolutely hilarious. It's packed full of jokes, but it somehow manages to fit so well in a serious action game like this.    … Expand

    Excellent game all around, I’m just glad Sony showed everyone again that people love great story-driven single player games, not microtransaction and lootbox-filled online trash. As many others, I vote with my wallet, and bought this game full price (as UC4&TLOU), and stay far away from the likes of EA.

    This game is absolutely beautiful. Probably the best looking games ever made.

Probably the best looking games ever made. The game looks and sounds great with monsters making disturbing noises and epic moments drowned out by loud ominous music make every scene even more unforgettable. Kratos and Atreus both grow and learn on their journey. Its a story filled with lore around every corner and a perfectly crafted version of Norse mythology. The journey our characters take really shows off all the great relationships this game has. It has a great father and son dynamic with Kratos constantly scolding his son and teaching him to learn from mistakes of others including Kratos himself. It works really well and the side characters are entertaining and lovable and the villain is probably the best part. The game play is also great hack and slash fun with a lot of diversity and different ways to approach your enemy's. Its all well done and even the RPG like upgrading system works even if it gets grindy post main story.
    The combat never felt old because your constantly learning and obtaining new things and travelling to different places with new enemy's. The side missions are also great fun and exploration is rewarded and a welcome feature. Occasionally the games pacing can be slowed down with some boring tasks and things to do but its very rare. This game is my second perfect score and i would not have it any other way. What a great experience.    … Expand

    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.
