    A console defining game, which improves on and polishes every aspect of the genre. With great story telling (including the one take camera, which isn't simply gimmicky, but integral to the story telling), great characters. A game I didn't want to end! You should not only buy this game, but pre-order the next.

    Its Just a great game in every opinion. I like how the Story was telled. The music and the voices of the charachters were just perfect as the game it self. At least i want to say that i can respond the game for everyone who love greek mythology and solo story games.

    PRO: Excellent graphics & cinematic story.

    CONS: Combat lacks depth, same fight every 5 minutes, changing the colour of the same enemies, Resident Evil 4 era controls stiffness, basic/fake "open world" attempt.

    This is the best game i ever played.The story-telling , the combat system , graphics all of that is superb.Sure the enemies are repetitive like the troll or ogre who are the same but with different colour or the kill animations that are very repetitive.I hope the developers will notice that and will make a perfect game.10/10

    Simplemente es una maravilla. Kratos y Atreus son puro carisma, la historia está genial dejándote con ganas de más al acabar (ojo a lo que se viene ahí!), un gameplay genial, niveles, gráficos, duración. Es un "reinicio" de saga simplemente espectacular, poco más le podemos pedir.
    Con muchas ganas de ver el siguiente.

    Santa Monica created a huge and amazing game that changed lots of perspectives of the character and who he is now. With a brilhant gameplay and story. This game is definitely 2018 GOTY.

    В че играем? В слешер с рпг элементами, значит нужно ахуенную боевку. Чуство удара по сопернику это то что я не встречал нигде. Ты чуствуешь просто каждый удар. И это все подкрепляется великолепным антуражем.

    기존 갓오브워의 정체성과 북유럽신화가 잘 어울려졌다. 액션이 정말 좋아지면서 파고들기 요소가 늘어난게 제일 좋았다.

I personally enjoyed the character development and the relationship between kratos and BOI. Despite the brilliant gameplay, I felt more emotionally involved with what was happening as if I was playing as the main character of a movie. Mimir is hands down my favourite npc now with his epic tales! Can’t wait for the sequel, I hope they stick with morse mythos for the next one and then work on some other ones as hinted in the game, my first 10/10 on Metacritic Also, I bought a PS4 just to play this game, just like I bought ps3 for god of war 3 and psp for gow chains of Olympus Let’s keep the tradition going and buy ps5 for gow sequel… Expand

    All of the negative reviews must be from xbox fanboys. This is close to perfect as a game can get, I playinume ditto and it took about 30 hours to do that, and it never felt like a chore. The story if perfect, the animation is perfect, the fighting is incredible, the characters are believable, definitely one of the best 3 games on ps4

    Uno de los mejores juegos de PS4. Han sabido rediseñar una saga que aunque era buenísima ya estaba agotada, haciendo un juego más profundo, con un mundo semiabierto y un sistema de combate diferente pero igual de divertido.

    This game is a masterpiece, i played the whole saga, and this is the best! The storytelling, the graphics, the gameplay mechanics are game-changers, I really enjoyed every minute. Accomplishing the platinum trophy, was one of the best feelings I ever had from a game. This is the best game of the Generation period.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the things that makes God of War so good is the way it builds on its past. It isn't really a reboot but a sequel that evolves on the previous games in the series.This is one of the best game ever. I experienced every system in the game, and there are nothing new in the game. But Balance, between contents and scenario, is amazing more than Last of us. It is perfect for me, and I can recommend this game who love story-based game or action game.Pretty much everything Ive ever wanted from a God of war game. Excellent story, deep combat and great graphics. Great experience from start to finish.… Expand

    Way slower than the first game
    Aerial combat is gone
    The story is blend
    The norse mythos is not as interesting as the greek one

    I absolutely loved it! Played a few GOW games but this was the best one! For me the only downside was that the story dragged a bit in the end but nothing major. Incredible!

At the moment, this is the best game to play station 4, which I have ever seen and the game has passed almost 100%, I recommend it to everyone, the plot is simply excellent, at first I thought that the game has only one weapon and I thought that, compared to the last part, a downgrade took place, but suddenly Kratos decides to remember the past in order to cure his son, and he still takes the blades of chaos, it was amazing, 12/10.… Expand

    This game is so well-rounded and polished, there is no area in which this game is anything below an 9. The combat is super satisfying, the best story I have yet seen in a video game, and the graphics are beautiful. Overall, I think it deserves a 10/10.

    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.
