    In my opinion an absolute masterpiece. This game is literally a perfect action/adventure game. If the game isn’t perfect then it’s as close as it gets. I was jumping out of my seat and screaming like a little girl at the stuff that was going on in this game. They also have a great chance to flesh out this new arc of Kratos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. another masterpiece that I highly recommend. interesting and a thought out story between Kratos and his son Atreus on their adventure to scatter his mothers' ashes on the highest peak but it turns out not to be as simple as it looks like. amazing graphics and zero loading screens (unless you die) with an interesting world to explore and encounter other souls for side quests other than the main quest. very fun and satisfying combat with many upgrades and skills to unlock on your journey but some mini-bosses are overused with minimal changes like their color.… Expand

    As a gamer i enjoyed this game a lot, this is what you always wanted when you were a kid and wanted photorealistic games to be a reality. This game is just a masterpiece, its violent but beatiful at the same time, the story is very good, kratos is a very depth and awesome character and i highly recommend this game, its a must have.

    The best God of War to date! I loved this game and everything about it (even crybaby Balder). This game stand as one of the top 10 maybe even top 5 games of this generation and worth of all accolades. The father and son relationship between Kratos and son makes this game unique. The action is amazing, the RPG elements bring depth and replayability. Can't wait for the sequel (I know theThe best God of War to date!

    Perfect combination of story driven and gameplay driven game. Combat system is fun and has a good learning curve, starting with simple combat with several new tools and systems adds progressively, ending up with a pretty high skill cap.
    Looks amazing and supporting characters are very fun, particularly Mimir and the Dwarves.

    God of War is an incredible game. The graphics, story, world, music and combat are all near perfect. Though it is not perfect, some of the puzzles are predictable and enemies can be very repetitive. Though the two minor issues are outweighed by the overwhelming amount of positives.

    God of War is an epic game. One of my favorites of the generation. The combat is deep, challenging and fun. Not as challenging as Dark Souls and Sekiro, but just as fun and still decently challenging. The graphics are among the best of the generation. Just jaw dropping. And this helps immerse you in the setting even more. The narrative struck a very strong chord with me. I love theGod of War is an epic game. One of my favorites of the generation.

Speaking of which, Atreus helps you in combat and it actually works very well. He's also with you throughout the journey and his AI never caused problems. The whole experience of playing this game is simply outstanding. It has given me many hours of enjoyment and good gaming memories.… Expand

    First of all, I am not a fan of the original God Of War series. I have played a little bit of them but I didn't enjoy them as much. I was a little bit cautious before I purchased this game but I ultimately decided to give it a go because it is a 'reboot' and they changed the game play altogether.

    I'm glad I played this game. The story was emotional, exciting and kept me wanting to know more. The game play was so satisfying and it felt so good when you kill enemies with plethora of awesome skills. The world was colorful and magical, it made me want to explore every corner for loots and hidden runes.

    Definitely a classic and up there in my top 10 all time games in any platform.    … Expand

    I dont hand 10s out lightly but this is a must play. This game alone is worth the purchase of a ps4. Ill spare you the details, but essentially GoW is the refresh of a franchise everyone wanted that nobody would thought possible or imagined. This game is perfect. Go buy it now. Put all other games on hold

    Most likely the best PS4-exclusive this generation. It has an amazing story, great visuals, best companion ever in a video game and even great side stories. A must play!

    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.
