    Прекраснейшая история и визуал, в общем Sony как всегда держит планку эксклюзивом. До платины не дотянул одно достижение.

    Ame este juego.
    Es muy bueno en casi todo sus aspectos.
    Lo unico que falla en los bosses que son reutilizados y son los peores de la saga pero de ahi es juego obligado y una gran razón para adquirir una ps4.

    this was one of the best games i have ever played and is jammed right in my top 10 of all time. pace, story and combat was all fantastic. throwing the axe felt amazingly satisfying. then beating people with the shield till you called back your axe felt even more amazing. cant not wait for them to carry on the story. Game of the generation by far.

    El mejor juego que eh jugado hasta ahora, tiene la escencia de los god of war antiguos y le añade una innovacion que le da un toque de diferencia ante sus otras entregas

    This game is ok. The game seems to keep things similar to the older God of War titles but instead go for a more serious tone and slower gameplay and combat. It didn't bring anything new to the table to make itself stand out. All of the systems seemed very polished but the world and gameplay was not that much fun to interact with. The story seemed alright, nothing crazy but ok.

    Where this game failed for me was the gameplay. Moving about the world and the puzzles were fine if a bit boring. The combat seemed to not know what it wanted to do. It seemed somewhere in the middle of a Devil May Cry/Bayonetta and a Dark Souls. It never really seemed to do either kind of combat well and it seemed to be a mixed bag that never delivered.    … Expand

This game finally moves forward from the ending of God of War III and finally makes Kratos a sympathetic and relatable character. The action feels more personal, vicious, and addicting than before and the Norse Setting is a perfect fit. I love the exploration and customization of weaponry and armor in this game.

    I'm about 70% to go. It's amazing (usually I don't use this word) I love this game no doubt. I don't care about plot in games but the process of discovery leading me in something unexpectedly intriguing and magic. And I ducked in it on 100%

    This is one of the best Ps4 exclusives is have ever played. A story of father and son who are polar opposites in a lot of ways, learning to know and understand each other through a journey meeting new friends, and making enemies along the way.

    Very well done game story is bit to much to one side would of prefer to see more about the Norse gods but still good story my biggest issues is the camera being way to close to the character and the lack of a damn jump button and the combos variation feeling a bit lack also...but all in all good game

    I've played a few of the previous God of War games, so I was excited to give this new adventure a try. I was initially disappointed because I just wasn't that interested in the backstory, but I continued because I was fascinated by the shaky relationship between Kratos and Atreus.

I was initially disappointed because I just wasn't that interested in the backstory, but I continued because I was fascinated by the shaky relationship between Kratos and Atreus. Once I got to a point in the game where I could freely roam and try different routes, something about the game just clicked and I loved it. Both the main and side quests were interesting, and the variety of combat offered in the skill tree encouraged me to try new strategies with each battle. The added comical relief with Mimir made the quieter times quite relaxing. Lastly, the single shot cinematography was a technical marvel and simply incredible.… Expand

    This game was had such a good story my wife was asking me every night if we could play more of it, Kratos, Atreus and every character were so well crafted it was hard to put the game down. The game play was also challenging but rewarding especially the fights with the Valkyrie which could be very hard. There wasn't a thing about this game i could say that is negative.

    Taking many pages from RE4's book but maintaining its identity. This game is a masterpiece. Everything from graphics, gameplay, story is polished to perfection. It made me care about Kratos more than ever before. And it has a very memorable cast of side characters and villains. Great OST, and level design is surprisingly amazing.

    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.
