    God of War (PS4) é atualmente um dos meus jogos favoritos. Todo o jogo corre sem loadings pronunciados e quando o faz tem diálogos para entreter. Os gráficos (jogo na PS4 Pro em TV 4k) são do melhor que existe na industria neste momento (escrevo esta analise 1 ano depois do jogo sair).

    Beautiful and moving story is only the beginning to how amazing this game is. They story is rich with emotions and feelings that we feel, and lots of amazing and subtle foreshadowing is done throughout the game. The combat system is phenomenal and groundbreaking. Everything in this game is simply beautiful and has taken my breath away. This game will forever be one of the very best.

    This is what all games should aspire to be, everything looks well made from the animation and the combat is perfect.

    This is the best game I played in my life, even if there is alot of hack/slash in the game, this game is on my top list in the top 10 games I played, The reason why is because this game tells the story very good , and u interact with everything in the world. the progression system is also amazing in this game, that u can upgrade ur current gear, and get better gear when u progress.

    Acción y aventura.
    Esta review no va a ser muy popular pero voy a intentar dar mis razones para ello.
    Es el primer GOW que he jugado por lo que cualquier referencia a los anteriores no la he podido detectar y apreciar. Empecé a jugar después de que lo nombrarán GOTY y mis expectativas eran bastante altas tras haber jugado al RDR2. Empiezo por los defectos que le he encontrado y luego    Acción y aventura.
    Esta review no va a ser muy popular pero voy a intentar dar mis razones para ello.

    Es el primer GOW que he jugado por lo que cualquier referencia a los anteriores no la he podido detectar y apreciar. Empecé a jugar después de que lo nombrarán GOTY y mis expectativas eran bastante altas tras haber jugado al RDR2. Empiezo por los defectos que le he encontrado y luego comento lo que me ha gustado.

    El primer punto es la dificultad, en mi opinión mal gestionada. Jugando en fácil los enemigos de la historia principal están desequilibrados en comparación con los de las actividades secundarias. Si aumentas la dificultad no se corrige lo único que aumenta es el tiempo que tardas en derrotar a los enemigos haciendo la experiencia más tediosa. Creo que falta un punto medio entre la dificultad fácil y la normal para encontrar el punto óptimo, al menos para mi.

    Precisamente los enemigos son el otro punto débil que veo, no hay demasiada variedad y las animaciones de ejecución son siempre las mismas o varia entre 2 a lo sumo. Debido a la mala experiencia que he tenido jugando no he realizado muchas actividades secundarias pero tengo la impresión de que en estas actividades es posible que si haya enemigos más variados. No obstante, de ser así no entiendo por qué no los han incluido en la historia principal.

    El sistema de combate no me ha resultado divertido y los movimientos que vas desbloqueando no mejoran la experiencia (con la excepción del golpe fuerte del hacha). He tenido la sensación de que es indiferente el ataque que realices porque todos hacen el mismo daño incluidos los combos. Esto enlaza con el tema de la dificultad, creo que falta un equilibrio entre la vida de los enemigos y el daño que debería hacer y recibir Kratos teniendo en cuenta quien es.

    Hay unos cuantos fallos de diseño y usabilidad como por ejemplo al abrir caminos hacia atrás tirando cadenas por una pared, Kratos siempre se cuelga de la cadena independientemente de que queramos o no bajar (normalmente es que no), o elementos que debemos utilizar en unos combates obligatoriamente pero en otros no podemos utilizarlos pese a que están en el escenario y desde un punto de vista argumental sería completamente aceptable.

    El sistema de runas y armaduras le añade una capa de profundidad que creo que no se necesita ni se llega a aprovechar all 100%. Sin embargo la progresión de las armas y de los personajes si me parece acertada y creo que funciona muy bien en un juego de estas características.

    En cuanto a la historia como conjunto me ha gustado, no conocía a penas la mitología nórdica y me ha interesado bastante. Los distintos personajes que salen tienen un gran diseño y personalidad, sin embargo hay bastantes puntos que no me parecen coherentes, como la misma premisa de la historia o los cambios de humor y moralidad repentinos del hijo.
    La evolución de Kratos creo que es lo que salva todo el juego, ver su faceta de padre y sus luchas y dudas internas es verdaderamente emotivo.

    Por último, gráficamente es espectacular, de los mejores gráficos que he visto y la ambientación suma una gran cantidad de recuerdos imborrables a la experiencia. El modo foto está bastante logrado y puedes sacar infinidad de fondos de pantalla de cada momento del juego.

    En conclusión, me ha resultado un experiencia agridulce, disfrutar de la historia y los gráficos me ha gustado mucho pero la jugabilidad me ha planteado muchas dudas a lo largo de todo el juego.

    Personalmente no lo recomendaría a nadie que no haya jugado los juegos anteriores, acabo de finalizar el GOW 3 y puedo entender la emoción con la que los fans han recibido este juego. Sin embargo, para una persona que entre nueva a la saga no creo que lo pueda disfrutar igual.

    A game with some of the best visuals the PS4 has to offer as of right now. The mainline story is fantastic and tells the story of a father and son coming to terms with who they are and bonding after the death of the mother. The RPG elements they added with the armor system are a bit out of place, and the side quests are nothing special.

    Absolute masterpiece of a game. No load times, beautiful graphics, awesome gameplay, and amazing story. I haven’t fallen so deep into a game since Bioshock Infinite. It’s a shame I wasted so many years giving Microsoft XB1 a chance that I missed out on so many beautiful titles. Hands down the pinnacle of gaming! Thank you GoW devs!

    Best game I've ever played. I loved the first 3 GOW's. Having original staff member Cory Barlog return was a huge move. They take great care of Kratos as a character and do justice to the original while adding to it in all the best ways.

    Pros:
    - Good story

    Cons:
    - I didn´t fall in love with the combat system
    - The rpg elements are ok but not very well implemented in my view.
    - Quite linear, there are not many different ways of approaching the same situation
    - Repetitive enemies

    It´s a good game, but playing this game after a master piece (Bloodborne) didn´t help. The game offers very little room for improvising, it´s pretty linear in that sense, I didn´t love the battle system neither. In summary, I think it is a good game for semi casual players who are looking for a good story and just sit and play with quitle little exploring. More hardcore players will find it difficult to love this game    … Expand

    Fantastic visuals and characters you can't help but care about. The core of the story is the relationship between Atreus and Kratos. Mimir is a fun sidekick midway through. I didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as a did. I wouldn't say it's perfect for a few reasons, First, the gear progression system is broken. 3/4 through the story, my gear didn't match my level.

However, it's hard to feel connected to your armor at all. Unlike Witcher 3, where gear hunting is a joy and you really have control over your playstyle. Also, the combat is really incredible and intricate. That being said, there are so many different moves and combos that even though I'd acquire new skills, I found myself forgetting to complete most of the moves by the end of the game. Overall, what a joyful ride through a gorgeous world. It was nice to get a wide linear game after finishing Witcher 3.… Expand

    Hands down one of the greatest games of all time. Graphically it's the best looking game on anything. Combat, story, game play mechanics, the story within the story. Everything about this game is why it won GOTY!

    I was worried about the gameplay because the new camera but there is nothing wrong with it. this game is a masterpiece with a great story and beautiful moments. Watch Kratos interact with his son during the game is very touching. Perfect game, characters, gameplay, story, graphics, music. Well deserved GOTY

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The new God of War game (2018) is almost perfect. Tons of work went into making it, and it really shows. The combat is extremely fun. The player has the tools to play in different ways, and all of them are strong and satisfying. The story flows really well. It felt personal and wholesome. Of course, the graphics and the music are outstanding. There are only a couple very minor complaints that I have. SPOILER ALERT: All of the enemies were awesome, but Queen Valkyrie and the enraged werewolves were unfair on the hardest difficulty. Also, one of the puzzles was more like a chore. IT'S STILL GREAT, THOUGH! I highly recommend God of War (2018).… Expand

    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]
