    Personally one of the top three games I’ve ever played, up there with Ocarina of Time and the first GoW for PS2. The game in GoW for PS4 is unparalleled. It’s just amazes me what was done here. The design and the story are second to none and the NPC’s are awesome ! Can play this game for hours on end without getting tired !

    A beautiful mix of story, visuals, sounds and gameplay. The story introduces a small cast of characters and masterfully fleshes them out. It allows them to interact in ways to make the player feel a wide range of emotions. The visuals are eye candy and the music entrances you to feel every moment. The gameplay is perhaps the most enjoyable and satisfying than most of the game. The gameA beautiful mix of story, visuals, sounds and gameplay.

    Absolutely incredible game. True progression of an established franchise while staying to true to the original concept and characters. Combat is incredibly fun and diverse. Story and narrative is captivating and emotional. Gameplay and level design is inspired. Characters are interesting and well thought out.

    The game of the decade. A completely revised, even more refined version of an already breathtaking game. Nice work Santa Monica and especially Cory Barlog!

    Don't you dare skip this game! It's truly a fantastic game! It is a reboot (one of the best i've seen) reconstructing a world and story to become its one thing but remaining true to its foundations.

It is a reboot (one of the best i've seen) reconstructing a world and story to become its one thing but remaining true to its foundations.
    Phenomenal open world with an interesting linear story. If you have to compare it to other games, well if you enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn, the Last of Us and Dark Souls, you will enjoy this game. It takes the best of all those tree games. GoW's strongest feature is the gameplay. The fighting mechanics are amazing that gradually give you new options and skills to learn. There's also puzzle-solving areas that are all different and fun to do and some exploring areas that are very rewarding. The world, scenery, and graphics are some of the best in PS4.
    Now in a scale of 1-10, its unfair to give is a 9. This game knows what it is and hits every mark. For what is out there its clearly one of the best with room for improvement. Because of that its a 10/10 game.
    Now taking a more critical approach, I personally give it a 9.4. Why? Well there are some things that it could improve. I wish it had more finishing moves and animations when you killed an enemy, it felt repetitive after a while. Also some boss battles where a bit repetitive, with the exception of the Valkyries. The ending or final battle fell short, it didn't seem complete (story wise). More like an ending of a chapter than of a book. Still great but there were other battles in the game that were more memorable. So, it needs to add different bosses, different (or more) animations, and a to polish the story a bit more. But you can tell there is so much left to tell, saving it for the next installment.
    Over all, even in 2020, this is still one of the best PS4 games out there no doubt. You can't miss it.    … Expand

    One of the best-looking games so far, it really shows the capabilities of the PS4 and PS4 Pro, really pushing them to the limits. Even if it's so demanding, the game never showed any frame drops as far as I noticed even when played on Enhanced Resolution Mode on PS4 Pro.

    Apart from that, this game differs much from previous GOW titles. This time we don't only have great combat and puzzle solving, but also a great story where we have the opportunity to see Kratos as a completely different person. We see that Kratos decided to change himself and tried to escape from the past, but it's easier said than done.
    The game gives you a great story, maybe a little bit short but a sweet one. There were some times the story practically seemed to reach the end, but suddenly, something happens, which I liked, as I than knew the story isn't over yet.
    The combat system is improved of course, drastically improved. You spend experience points in order to get new moves and new abilities. You upgrade or buy new gear both for Kratos and Atreus, at some point, you will realize while exploring that some enemies are stronger and here comes the part when you will have to spend some time upgrading your gear.

    All in all, a great story, fantastic combat system, beautiful graphics, maybe the best-looking game so far. The game gives you a solid +50 hours of gameplay, both thrilling and memorable (completing side-quests, finding collectibles and beating bosses included)    … Expand

    Providing a 10/10 does not mean that I think the game is perfect but as someone who achieved the platinum trophy and the two unique shields for completing on God of War mode, I can assure you that this game was as close to perfect as it could be for me.

    Santa Monica set out with a vision and they knocked it out of the park.

    Absolutely perfect game, the combat gets really fun once you get used to it, the story is amazing and the graphics are phenomenal.

    I also loved the fact that the game has no loading screens and it goes on like a continuous movie.
    Loved it.

    Without a doubt one of the best games ever made for Playstation!
    Can't wait for a sequel on PS5.
    It will possible be the downfall of Kratos but the guy deserves some rest.
    Thank you Santa Monica!

    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.
