    this game is a very rare and strange example of how the gaming industry can still produce quality contend but they rather be greedy and lazy with the only motivation of make easy money

    God of war is not innovative in anything that it has to offer but this is the point the game just has to have the right options and balance experience to turn this itself into a masterpiece and that is what the new God of War does at the perfection

    Seriously how can 525 thousand and another 227 people think that this game is a bad game or a regular one? this is why not only the gaming industry is bad right now for the greedy companies but also for its bad and cancerous community this game is beyond of the word masterpiece and everyone will have to deal with it because this is not only the game of the year but also the game of the generation

    Геймплейно - идеал. Баланс в боевой системе выверен с ювелирной точностью, дальние атаки легко комбинируются с ближними, каждый бой превращается в тактическую партию с врагами, нужно грамотно комбинировать оружия и спец способности, т.е. каждый элемент боевки, тут на свое месте. Атрей не тупит, а отлично дополняет Кратоса в схватках с врагами, лучшего напарника я в принципе в видеоиграх не видел. Поругать игру можно за малое количество боссов, особенно после God of War 3, контраст сильный.
    Сюжет на высшем уровне, герои отыгрывают на полную, все персонажи интересны, главный злодей мотивирован по самое не балуй, ему иногда даже сопереживаешь. А диалоги, диалоги это просто сказка. Сюжет конечно можно немножко поругать за привязанность к предыдущим играм, если не играли в ранние части, не получится проникнуться внутренними переживаниями Кратоса, его борьбой со своими демонами, тем, как он стремится оградить Атрея от повторения своих ошибок.
    Графика, я редко говорю в играх про графику, но в этом случае не упомянуть графическое оформление и анимацию персонажей - грех. В игре очень красивое окружение, анимации персонажей выполнены отлично.
    Эта игра стала причиной покупки ps4, как в свое время ради игр этой серии, были приобретены ps2 и ps3.    … Expand

    Since the first trailer of this game, in 2016 E3, i knew that it would not be a simple continuation of God of War saga. Yes, it is the best God of War.

They don't just made a continuation of this incredible saga, they expand God of War universe in a way that i don't think was possible!

    The form of how god of war changes the myth of kratos and the gaming industry in just 46 hours shows how far this game is from this toxic gaming industry and the greedy companies

    God of war is the perfect mix of an authentic open world with a linear experience and original story amazing gameplay fulled with tons of emotions that is beyond of this world and one has to take in mind that this game isn't an open world but it makes you feel like one along with the rest of its elements

    The new God of War is nothing special as many say and this is why God of war is such a perfect game that takes the old and over the new and polishes this in a new level

    Excellent gameplay and story. Not quite as tight mechanically as say Bloodborne, but pretty close. It was far better than I expected, and I expected a lot. Easily my favorite game of the year.

    Combat mechanics are the best I have ever experienced in a game; satisfying, responsive and diverse, you truly do feel like a God of War. I have found myself devising my own combos and techniques because the system has given me that freedom to slaughter the creatures of this world in whatever fashion I want. This gives me an overwhelming sense of power, EXACTLY what a God of War should be perceived as.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent. No one should even dare to question about purchasing this game.    … 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.
