    Got to say, when Santa Monica / Sony first teased god of war reboot, I was literally stunned and was abusing them for the change that they have made. Being a God Of war fan right from the beginning, and indeed it was my first game on PS3, I wanted it to follow the same old locked camera tradition. Where kratos is always in action with brutality with his axe and swords. I was disappointed with santa Monica's thought to change it from greek inspired game to Norse-inspired game! But as the time passed by, they launched few more in-game gameplay. After witnessing and analysing those gameplay, I learnt that what exactly the devs are trying to do and how sure Santa Monica and sony is about the reboot version of the game. I ended up pre ordering collector's edition. But today, when I got my hands on it and explored the game to some extent, I admit this is the game that I always dreamt about. This is the game I believe set a new benchmark in the history of gaming entertainment. This is the game of my dreams it's beautiful, brutal and badass. The presentation of the game is so good...that the players will feel that they are living the game. It feels as if we are watching some live action movie. The combat style and system seems to be amazingly well designed. Puzzle also keeps you busy ( only done 1-2 for now ) over all it also test your presence of mind.
    So far from what I have played, it seems to be deep understanding and bonding between father and son.
    Apart from this, the whole new world and the design of combat system is impressive.
    I personally want to thank Cory Barlog for creating and shaping such a masterpiece game. His name in the history of gaming and entertainment industry will remain immortal. (Masterpiece!)    … Expand

    I want to tell you that I bought the playstation 4 in December of 2017 just to do the pre-purchase of the GOW, I was always a great hater of the consoles and a great admirer of the PC but honestly this game I fell in love in its entirety, it is extremely polished, the lore, the history in general, the graphics .. 10/10

    I spent about 35 hours to complete the main story and maybe half the side quests. I started the game on hard mode and quickly switched it to normal after dying a dozen times to the 3rd encounter. Normal was almost too easy until I decided to stop caring about what to equip and just started playing the game.

    I'm an older gamer, so this next bit is a biased opinion I have over a lot of games. The thing I disliked the most about the game was the different equipment slots and all the perks and stats. I feel like the devs went with a "quantity over quality" approach with this system. I probably wasted at least 2 hours of game time screwing around with this system until I decided to forget it all together. The game became much more enjoyable once I no longer cared what Kratos and "boy" was wearing and all the stuff he was picking up.

    Last thing I will bash is the inability to skip cut scenes. Seriously, the story isn't that good and I just wanted to get to bashing peoples skulls in. However, you can treat them like loading screens to get up and walk around like you would with a game for traditional loading screens.

    This game is awesome. I don't think it's as awesome as people say it is, but it is close.    … Expand

I don't have a single complaint or even any constructive criticism. This is a perfect game and I can't wait for the next one.

    I've never played a God of War game before, I've heard of it but having spent most of my time on the Xbox 360 it was never a game I looked at too closely. Times change though and I now play on both consoles which meant the latest God of War caught my attention.

Times change though and I now play on both consoles which meant the latest God of War caught my attention. I found myself researching the past games and instantly knew that this would be right up my street. God of War was hyped up to astronomical levels and the question became, could it live up to that hype.

    Long story short yes it most certainly has lived up to the hype. Visually the game looks stunning on both versions of the PS4 consoles and aside from the odd dropped frame here and there, offers a smooth playing experience. The game world is so detailed and simply beautiful. some areas where there is a lot of colour took my breath away as HDR blasted the scenes into my eyeballs. These areas really take your breath away and you find yourself just looking around soaking up the beauty.

    The game is set in Midgard and you find yourself thrown into Norse mythology and once again the developers have really nailed the feel. You aren't alone in your travels this time round and are accompanied by Kratos' son Atreus. Normally AI sidekicks tend to be a pain in the arse but they really nailed the implementation here. Never does your "Boy" feel unhelpful or get in the way and he instead can prove to be very helpful and breaks the quieter sections up nicely with the dialogue.

    I shan't go too much into the the story because of spoilers but It is honestly one of the best stories I've been able to enjoy in a game in recent years. Well written and fully engrossing i found myself captured by it and like a good book that's hard to put down I've found i have to force myself to stop playing when real life demands my attention.

    All this positivity means nothing if the gameplay sucks but I'm happy to report that once again the developer have hit the nail on the head (presumably with Thors Hammer). Things start off typically enough but soon you are thrust into one of the most epic opening fights that will be remembered for years to come. Combat feels awesome with each hit feeling as if it has real weight behind it and different enemies requiring slightly differing tactics. It really is one of the most satisfying things when you land those swings of the axe. The new camera works a treat and throws you into the action, anyone who had concerns should rest easy because it just works.

    The seamless transitions from gameplay to cut scene helps keep immersion and this is yet another example of just how good Chequer-boarding is to get those lush crisp visuals. It's obvious from start to finish that a lot of hard work, care and attention has gone into God of War and it's paid off big time. God of War is going to be one of the titles that define this generation and it's certainly the best we've seen so far. Normally my GOTY is a struggle between a few titles but i think this is a dead cert with only Red Dead Redemption 2 likely to offer any kind of competition.    … Expand

    Both make a fantastic contrast, being the BOY, Atreus more talkative and sociable and Kratos a rude and quiet man who tries not to get into trouble.

    Also, there is more side content that allows backtraking and secret areas to explore.
    - Graphically is top edge, a little bit inferior to Horizon ZD maybe, but the use of lighting and color and the folkrore itself makes the game graphically and artistically stunning.

    - Combat is at first a bit basic, but it evolves alongside the player evolves, making a good progresion system based on gear. That at first may look bland and forced, but the more you play the more it works, offering stunning good looking armours and weapon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly let me just say, truly amazing game the graphics are astounding with only a few muddy bits here and there but they're patching it, ps4 pro is a must with this, the combat is less wildly swinging and more calculated and intelligent with it's share of crazy moments.

    The rpg elements are a great balance and the feel of The last of us with the kid following you on this journey is a welcome change to give this series a new breath of fresh air so it doesn't end up stagnating in it's past (Which was good but games need to evolve too)
    The AI on the child is smart and rarely gets in your way or is seen standing around doing nothing, the story-telling and dialogue during the journey is fantastic.

    It is true the enemies are less giant than what they use to be however I bet this is the first of this Nordic journey so give it time and it'll pick up, I bet the kid will become a lot more stronger and kratos will slowly get his drive for violence back and the enemies become giant once more.

    Now! For those voting this game a 0 - 4 out of 10 please remove yourself from the website, I have read the reviews and if Metacritic had a pulse on this site please admins remove them, they are not even helpful and they lack intelligent reason for the score other than they expected it to be like the previous games, you must understand that this is a new game and this looks to be the beginning of their journey which means simply rating it a 0 is Beyond dishonest!

    Shame on everyone that reviewed this a 0 - 4 without even playing this first or even giving it a chance, So many of us love it and welcome the return on this amazing series and it is only beginning so give it time and I bet we will see the kratos we remember while seeing the child grow up to be lethal as well, it does miss out on that final point mainly because some enemies have a ridiculous split second tracking making that tiny second early dodge nets you a direct hit and some times the camera feels as if I'm locked onto an enemy while not actually being locked on but other then that like I said they are fixing bugs and these problems so far that I have had seem to be tiny in comparison to other games so the point taken off doesn't detract from the games amazing new story.

    Some people cannot be won over no matter what and judging from the comments on the 325 reviews voting it negatively so far this game is better off for it because these changes would give us a god of war 4 and not the new god of war we have and frankly if I wanted to play a game that had a crazy chain-blade swinging Kratos I'd replay the old ones, honestly games much like music have to develop a game with how the market is going in mind and what the market will be like in however many years they estimate they will be able to get the games out, many games are moving away from old formulas and the ones that are suffering, a few games come to mind but find my full review on my page and my channel because there I don't have restriction on what I am allowed to write.

    The combat is weighty also, making every hit on those light and medium ones feel like you are using heavy force on them, large enemies still reel back after an axe blow at times unlike a few games I have played that are just lazy (No Monster hunter world is not one of them)

    Honestly Guys and Girls, buy this game at 60 or 100 (for AUS) and you won't be disappointed unlike Destiny 2 and FFXV (Sorry people but where I live I have seen so many returned copies of both games it even amazed me, not to mention watching the marketing on both and the schemes implemented to stretch out the play life of both is pretty transparent.

    I don't believe this will have any dlc content because I believe they'll just set it for a new console, that being the case you may see the next game on the next gen consoles in 2020 (if the estimated date is to be believed)    … Expand

    God of War, es, sin lugar a dudas una obra necesaria. Es un paso adelante, no solo en el viaje del Fantasma de Esparta, si no de la franquicia en general.

    El nuevo God of War es un respiro muy necesario a la ya gastada jugabilidad de los previos 6 juegos de la saga. Sin dudas, mi hype estuvo justificado, aunque tenía mis dudas en cuanto al combate, la mejor sorpresa me la llevé en éste apartado.

    Historia (Sin spoilers)
    Un nuevo aire para la saga en general: Esta vez, Kratos no busca venganza. Ahora tiene un hijo el cual es mitad Dios y tiene que prepararlo y enseñarle todo en cuanto esté a su alcance para que Atreus, el "NIÑO", no repita sus mismos errores. Kratos podrá matar titanes mientras duerme, pero a la hora de ser padre le toca sudar la gota gorda. Recorremos el viaje de Dios e hijo por las tierras de Midgard y otros reinos nórdicos mientras nos enfrentamos a bestias míticas y divinas (aunque con menor variedad que en entregas anteriores) para llevar las cenizas de la madre de Atreo al pico mas alto de todos los reinos, en el cual descubriremos la verdad. Historia rica, con olor a nuevo, refrescante, pero sin dudas, necesaria. Su motivación principal, en si, es llevar las cenizas, pero también deja un claro hueco dónde podemos pasar explorando, cumpliendo objetivos opcionales y demás. No tiene la urgencia de un rescate, ni la necesidad de una venganza. Solo un viaje.

    Jugabilidad: Mecánicas y combate.
    Como dije antes, lo que mas me sorprendió de esta nueva entrega es el combate. Sigue siendo igual de brutal y frenético que antes, pero ahora posee un pequeño componente estratégico debido a dos principales mecánicas: El hacha leviathan y la posición de la cámara.
    Podemos lanzar el hacha y continuar golpeando a mano limpia, tranquilamente. Obviamente, Kratos no está indefenso nunca. Seguimos contando con un escudo para hacer parry o esquivar como hacíamos antes. Pero ahora podemos usar esa hacha, podemos apuntar hacia dónde queramos y podemos arrojarla y traerla de vuelta a voluntad. Hay enemigos con puntos débiles específicos y ventanas entre ataques en los cuales deberemos aprovechar para usar ésta habilidad. Y la posición de la cámara hace que tengamos que estar mas atentos a nuestro alrededor, porque, aunque no lo veas, podrías tener un enemigo a tus espaldas, y el escudo no te serviría de nada en ese caso.
    Tambien, en vez de los ataques de poder que teníamos en anteriores juegos, los cuales eran fijos. Ahora tenemos ataques rúnicos para nuestras armas, son ataques muy poderosos, los cuales se pueden cambiar cuando queramos, eso si, no podemos spammear éstos ataques ya que tienen un tiempo de recarga.
    Tambien tenemos un contenedor de Furia el cual se irá llenando al dar o recibir golpes. Y el cual podremos usar para destrozar a los enemigos y de paso, recuperar un poco de salud.
    Atreo tambien combate. Si, aunque sea un "NIÑO", atreo nos va a salvar el culo mas de una vez, usando sus flechas y sus ataques rúnicos, al cual le podremos ordenar disparar usando el botón [Cuadrado], tampoco podremos spammearlo todo el tiempo, pero aún así lo podemos usar para nuestra ventaja, siempre que queramos. Y lo mejor de todo. El niño no jode nunca y rara vez tendremos que ayudarlo (me ha pasado 2 o 3 veces en TODO el 100% del juego).
    Atreo tambien tiene la posibilidad de revivirnos al menos una vez si caemos en combate, lo cual puede pasar con enemigos poderosos, y lo cual es mas común de lo que imaginan si van a combatir con jefes opcionales.

    Todas las habilidades, tanto de Atreo con su arco como de Kratos con sus armas se pueden mejorar y subir de nivel.

    En cuanto al movimiento, podemos esprintar, ya que hay backtracking (siempre que queramos, por lo general no es obligatorio).
    Kratos ya no salta, pero todos los movimientos como saltar a una saliente, escalar y demás se pueden completar con el boton contextual: [O]. y al esquivar tendremos que usar [X] ya que con los sticks ahora debemos controlar al personaje y a la cámara.
    Tambien hay un bote, en el cual sucederan la mayor parte de las conversaciónes entre personajes.

    Exploración:
    Tenemos una gran y variada cantidad de lugares por explorar, los cuales, en su totalidad, todos poseen coleccionables valiosos, misiones secundarias, jefes opcionales, pequeños puzzles, mejoras y armaduras. Y no solo en el Reino de Midgard, pero bueno, no voy a hacer spoiler. Sin dudas es algo que se agradece, porque entre tanto combate, está bueno que haya momento para quietud, para respiros y para recompenzas. Recompenzas que valen la pena, realmente.

    Sin lugar a dudas, God of War supone un paso de titan para la franquicia, de la cual, espero podamos seguir viendo juegos con mas historias y mitologías. Sin dudas, ésto era necesario, tanto para Sony, como para nosotros. Excelente juego, excelente historia, increíble ambientación y muy divertido gameplay.

    Solo Disfruten.    … 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.
