    Excelente, gráficamente genial, los movimientos de Kratos y las opciones para atacar son infinitas. Lamentablemente sentí el mundo vacío. Pocos NPCs poca variedad de enemigos pero buena historia.

    An absurdly linear game that is vastly overrated. First of all, the gameplay might feel good, but some of the combat looks ridiculous (i.e. the animation where the enemy hovers above ground while you can continuously hit him).

First of all, the gameplay might feel good, but some of the combat looks ridiculous (i.e. the animation where the enemy hovers above ground while you can continuously hit him). Second of all, the story is captivating and beautiful, but that's pretty much it with this game. And I would just like to point out that the graphics -- which seems to have impressed many -- really isn't that impressive. The graphics is really detailed up close, but the larger world and the scenery a lot of the time look like a flat backdrop, while a game like Red Dead Redemption II has a completely different sense of scale to it, where the world genuinly feels deep, vibrant and dynamic. Now, I know that this game won the game of the year at the game awards, but that was wrong. Simple as that. The thing about Red Dead Redemption II -- which, I assume, most people considered to be the main rival for the title -- is that it was genuinely groundbreaking, laying the foundations for future open-world titles. There really wasn't anything revolutionizing about God of War, and while it might be good game to some, it really doesn't present anything new to the world of gaming. And I think that was the main reason why Red Dead Redemption II should've won game of the year. My score for this game (7) indicates that I still value the game, which I of course do. In many way it's an artistic and creative masterpiece -- Cory Barlog and his team have a pretty vivid imagination -- but I still feel that this game is massively overrated.… Expand

    There's so much to like and love about this game - but in the end everything is ruined by a few horrible flaws in the game design.

    As an old player that has played about everything KOF, Street Fighter, Smash, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero, Cup-Head, Mario,..etc.. etc I have to say that its one of the most incredible games so far, the final fight feels very good, i can't wait for it on PS5. Really you have to play it to understand.

    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

    God of War es un autentico espectáculo, a nivel técnico y narrativo, hacer todo el videojuego en un solo plano secuencia y sin tiempos de carga de ningún tipo es simplemente una genialidad, es una historia que nadie debería perderse. Para mí, unos de los mejores juegos de PS4 y un motivo de peso para pillar PS5.

    A linear button masher. Nothing groundbreaking whatsoever with repetitive design. Altough i guess thats fine for people who want nothing but action 24/7 in their games.

But for me, games like that are incredibly difficult for me to connect with. Enemies that levitate of the ground while hitting them look ridiculous and suprislingly for a game released in 2018, it features no ragdoll physics whatsoever. It might seem picky of me to point that out, but its rather cheap nonetheless, epsecially for a game thats all about the combat.… Expand

    Everything about this game is amazing the story, graphics, acting, characters and combat. I felt every hit with the Leviathan Axe every emotion kratos and atreus felt throughout the game. I was in awe of the graphics and the characters are amazing and hilarious.

    One of the greatest father/son stories in recent years mixed with exciting combat and a beautiful world creates a touchstone for not only video games, but for the adventure genre as a whole.

    I was never a fan of a simple hack and slash fest no matter how pretty a game looked. After being nagged by a friend telling me over and over again that I need to play it, and the fact he gave me his copy for free telling me I need to complete it... Sigh... Eventually I decided to play it to shut him up. In Short God Of War 4 is one of the best game I've ever played,.

Eventually I decided to play it to shut him up. In Short God Of War 4 is one of the best game I've ever played,.

    The story is brilliant. The graphics are gorgeous. The gameplay is deep, sure you could pretty much run through the game simply using the same few moves on an easy difficulty setting, or you can put in the work, pump up that difficulty and go pick a fight with the valkyrie's especially the valkyrie queen, and a few great challenges along the way, this games insanely good and again if played seriously will make you question your ability as a gamer! Just an absolute masterpiece, the only fault I could think of is that there wasnt more of it!

    Just don't be like me, don't think it's not your sort of game without playing it. Hell don't make a decision it's not your style of game only playing it for an hour. These games all need you to commit to playing about 8 hours to get really invested into them. I'd say complete this game before reviewing it. The games nothing short of a masterpiece!    … 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]
