    A true masterpiece. Great production values.

    -Fantastic combat. -Amazing world design. -New life for Kratos as a character. -The soundtrack and graphics is amazing.

    The only minor complaint is a lack of variety in bosses, but even then the few that exist arebgreat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is just incredible. Undoubtedly the best in the franchise and the best game I played in my life ... I can't wait for a sequel. Perhaps with Thor or Freya as the main boss. Being able to see all the power of ps5 in action ... And once again playing a masterpiece ... They took the chance to change the franchise, but they got it right. I already played in 2018 on the day it came out and I regret that at the time I didn't buy the collector's edition. This game deserves that and more. No doubt he deserved the game of the year and for me he deserved the best game award of the last decade in place of The Last of Us, but to be second is already a big victory. Never a game until 2018 had left me that way, having impacted me so much. To date there have been a few more, and most have been from Sony. The game is extraordinary and deserved all the prizes it won and even deserved more ... /
    O jogo é simplesmente incrível. Sem dúvida o melhor da franquia e o melhor jogo que joguei na minha vida... Mal posso esperar por uma continuação. Talvez com Thor ou Freya como boss principal. Poder ver todo o poder da ps5 em ação... E mais uma vez jogar uma obra prima ... Eles arriscaram em mudar a a franquia, mas acertaram muito bem. Já joguei em 2018 logo no dia que saiu e arrependo me de na época não ter comprado a edição colecionador. Esse jogo merece isso e muito mais. Sem dúvida mereceu o jogo do ano e para mim merecia o prêmio de melhor jogo da última década no lugar de The Last of Us, mas ter ficado em segundo já é uma grande vitória. Nunca um jogo até 2018 me tinha deixado daquela forma, me ter impactado tanto. Até hoje já foram mais alguns, e a maioria foi da Sony. O jogo é extraordinário e mereceu todos os prêmios que ganhou e até merecia mais...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War was done and dusted, Kratos completed his arc. He defeated the Greek Pantheon and felt the taste of vengeance. Sadly for the fans, his story was done but little did we know, Corey Barlog and Santa Monica weren’t finished with our ‘boy’. They had another epic tale to tell. With a new, semi-open world design, over the shoulder camera, revitalised, visceral combat system and more appealing and cinematic approach to storytelling, Kratos has made a cracking return and a simple and powerful statement: “I am the face of Playstation, hear me roar!”… Expand

    The peak of gaming when it released. To take such bold decisions when it comes to not only changing the mythos but the gameplay, and to do it so well... Breathtaking and a leaway to a exciting future for the series.

It revolutionizes filmic story telling in video games by actually allowing the player to have their own choice on how to go about this adventure. It's visually amazing and it's a cool thing to note that this game is done in a entire single shot. The gameplay absolutely nails it, a challenging yet very balanced experience with a well panned out progression system for Kratos and Artreus. Along with the weapon and gear upgrades being very recording and satisfying but not compulsory either. The game doesn't prioritize quests in the sense of a division between side quests and main quests as everything is treated with atmost importance and care put into each activity. From hunting down Valkyries to exploring the ruins of Midgard. What's also amazing about the combat is that it allows the player to get creative in their fight styles, make combos and learn and come up of more effective tactics to take down certain enemies. Level design is very well made in this game from a gameplay perspective, visual, and story perspective. How smooth everything seemlessly plays out is something more people would give this game credit for. Now story wise, it's absolutely brilliant, it features a new chapter in Kratos's life where he's a more mature man yet the sins of his past still haunt him till this day and are a reoccurring barrier between the relationship between him and his son Artreus as their on a quest to deliver the ashes of his deceased wife to the highest peak of the realms. The story is a very personal one that tackles very mature themes such as parenthood, closure and forgiveness. As well as the narrative being very strong in terms of how power can corrupt men, leading to catastrophes in the world and how certain vices spread, feeding into the cycle of violence. However there's no such thing as a perfect game, even tho this may be kinda it, the only con I can point out is Niflhiem, not the best location in the game, exists for a very grindy purpose and doesn't offer much, and is designed just for the sake to frustrate you, also I wanted more from Muspelheim, it's just a combat practice arena, the location deserves to be more than that. That's my overall review of this game, I cannot recommend it enough… 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.
