    This game was THE best game i have played in a LONG time. NO micro transactions and no monotization of this game. just plays as your suppose to play it. it was so good i had to get all the trophies and i rarely do that. i wish all other publishers would follow in this games footsteps and release games that are complete and not cut up to sell as future DLC crap. Thank you Sony once againThis game was THE best game i have played in a LONG time.

    Clearly 10/10 - God of War is one of the best PS4 exclusive games of all time. I had a lot of fun with God of War and it is also one of my favorite games. It's a masterpiece!
    All in all, there's not much to say about God of War. It's perfect. Nevertheless, I would like to go into some more detail!

    All in all, there's not much to say about God of War. It's perfect. Nevertheless, I would like to go into some more detail!

    Story: The story is wonderful. You get into the action very quickly. The story also starts very exciting and is also very exciting throughout the game. It's very sweet how the relationship between Kratos and his son Atreus develops over the course of the story. Because of this great story alone I can recommend God of War to everyone (even non-God of War fans)! By the way, I would also like to mention that the beard on Kratos looks very good!
    What definitely deserves a mention are the cutscenes. There has rarely been a game where the cutscenes looked so good. The cutscenes in God of War are qualitatively on a completely different level.

    Gameplay: The hack and slay gameplay in God of War has been implemented outstandingly well. Dodging and attacking feels really smooth. The gameplay isn't stagnant or anything at all. With Atreus you have a little help in God of War. Atreus can shoot different kinds of arrows, which is especially useful in many boss battles. Atreus was never disturbing. You can also buy new equipment for both characters (Kratos and Atreus) in God of War. But you don't have to grind much, because the end boss is also possible with weaker armor. So God of War isn't just a grind, like you know it from some role-playing games.

    Conclusion: I can really recommend God of War to anyone. Anyone who owns a PS4 should have played God of War. God of War is a true masterpiece and definitely one of the best Sony Exclusive games!    … Expand

    I just incredible, the animation, the story, the relationship father to son, and the bosses are so epics. Its another world but looking Kratos in another mythology it's so interesting. The best game ever. Thank you, Cory.

    Espectacular... Gráficos, música, escenarios, narrativa, personajes, historia. Todo les quedó impresionante. Y lo que me pareció hermoso y lo fue el desarrollo de la relación entre Kratos y Atreus. Bello.

    God of War is one of the few great AAA games that have come out these past years. Sony has made another quality game that should prove that single-player games are not dead.

The characters are very interesting and the voice acting is spectacular. Throughout the game, you will fight many enemies, and thankfully the combat is spectacular. Its intense, fast-paced, challenging, and overall a ton of fun. There are a lot of good boss fights and breathtaking scenes. The only complaints I have are that there is not enough dialogue between Kratos and his son during the downtime, and there aren’t as many creative bosses as I would have liked. And to top it off, the graphics in this game are absolutely breathtaking.… Expand

    Great game, a fascinating story, a very special connection between father and son shows the hard work of 5 years to get one of the best games in history for my taste, it had been many years of not finding such a space game.

    This is a beautiful game, amazing story and paced well and I really was loving the game until the Valkyries. I hate games that use level scaling to fight game bosses. The Valkyries are way overpowered and it becomes tedious trying to kill them. I like a challenge like most but not everyone has the same play style or wants to spend a week trying to kill a game boss.

    I have played a TON of video games throughout my life of every genre.. This is the first game that I knew was going to be a 10/10 within about an hour of playing it - and I've only given out about 7 to 8 more 10/10s in my life. Graphics were amazing, game play.. erotic, story was like a Scorsese movie!

    Corey Barlog had one hell of a weight on his shoulders.. In one hand he held the fate and reputation of one of the greatest games and stories ever created for the console generation.

    In the other hand he held his career, if he had failed the guy would've lost everything.

    But what he made far surpasses even the previous God of war games, this is really an incredible game and story

    Otro de esos juegos que no puede faltar en nuestra lista de favoritos, una resurrección de un "anti-héroe" como es llamado, de alta calidad, obviamente hablamos de Kratos.

    God of War es un juego simplemente perfecto o casi perfecto, lo principal, su historia, como es contada y su desenlace es exquisito, los personajes con los que te encuentras, perfectamente sacados de la mitología nórdica y correctamente diseñados hacen que el juego sea maravilloso para lo amantes de las historias Vikingas.

    Mecánicas y gameplay son excelentes, los movimientos de Kratos son brutales y viscerales y eso sumado a los script, lo hacen bastante cinematográfico y espectacular y eso se agradece.

    La banda sonora no la podemos olvidar, es de una calidad tremenda y bien usada durante el desarrollo de la historia.

    La dificultad esta muy bien equilibrada, el desarrollo del personaje va acorde y ese ingrediente RPG para mejorar nuestras habilidades es bastante completo.

    A diferencia de los anteriores God of War, no es un juego netamente lineal, sus misiones secundarias son bastante buenas y divertidas y quizás necesarias para mejorar a Kratos.

    Un juego redondo que debe estar en tu vitrina de videojuegos y que claramente debes jugar.    … 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.
