    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War balances storytelling and combat-heavy gameplay better than any other game of its type. The constant interplay between its emotional journey and its ragged, demanding combat draws you in and forces you engage with both elements in a way that brings new meaning to both. It’s a true blockbuster that’s sure to impress both long-time franchise fans and newcomers.… Expand

    When a franchise comes back after a long time ,it always brings the question will it be good??? And in this case YES!. God of War is a beast of the Game, i would definitely call it one of the best the ps4 had to offer.

    I really enjoyed the North Mythology involvement into the story of GOW and i was really pleased that the past still hunts Kratos. I fell in love with his relationship with the BOY aka Atreus who for me stole the show. His story is something that i 100% look forward to.    … Expand

    Everything you could want. I played the first games in High School now I'm an adult with a young Son and I feel like they made the story somehow relatable while still keeping the same great action they brought in the originals.

    As mentioned... the God of games!

    Innovative redesign for the franchise. Captivating and engaging story, worthy to build a new trajectory that will cross new generations.

    Sony, Santa Monica, keep doing magic that keeps us hours in front of our consoles!

    El mejor juego al que he jugado hasta la fecha. Es el único juego al que me atrevo a darle un 10. La evolución de esta saga ha sido increible, GoW ha cambido mejorando algo que era muy complicado de mejorar. Tanto la historia, como las animaciones, musica, etc son una maravilla. Lo he disfrutado muchísimo. Ojala haya un GoW 5 para la PlayStation 5, que continue esta historia.

    This game is so well-rounded and polished, there is no area in which this game is anything below an 9. The combat is super satisfying, the best story I have yet seen in a video game, and the graphics are beautiful. Overall, I think it deserves a 10/10.

    One of the best games of the PS4 generation. Brilliant storytelling to go along with fun fluid gameplay. It has some slow parts in the middle that you need to power through, but does a great job reinventing a beloved franchise.

    액션성, 음향 그리고 그래픽 모두 훌륭하고 스토리마저 수작인 작품...각 분야별로 따지면 9점 정도라고 보지만 모든 부분에서 9점을 받을 수 있는 작품은 걸작이라고 표현해야 한다

    Never played any God of War game but even you did you will still be surprised. Everyone is. Game shows us that you can create and put everything in your game.

The bossfights are more than great and with harder dificulty those called Valkyries are incredible experience especially with the last one which I recommend playing on the hardest dificulty if you are good at games because it is going to be worth it when you will finnaly put her down. I have never thought the world of northern mytology could be interpreted good but this game proves me otherwise. I was stunned by the graphics at every corner I have encountered. The collectibles are finally fun to collect. Instead of making hundred side stories they created only few but they are fun and they actually make sense. Main story will always want you to push further and you will because you are always curious what is going to happen next. Game is also a new cinematic experience made possible with camera that will never ever change because it is one take through out the game. Dunno if I have not said all but that does not change the fact that this game is practicly perfect and that I have not ever felt so great doing platinum trophy on ps4. 10/10 without a doubt.… Expand

    I was super afraid when I first saw the game but after playing it I realized this was what the franchise needed, the most perfect reboot in video game history. Patiently waiting for the next one.

    One of the best PlayStation exclusives. Gameplay, history, music - everything in this game is at an amazingly high level. I can safely say that the Santa Monica studio created a rethinking of the God Of War series, which surpassed its predecessors.

    At first I was pi**ed, firstly Kratos is not an old man, secondly you don't toy with the GOW formula for control and combat... but honestly it kept true to it's roots and really updated it in such a way I was more than pleasantly surprised and satisfied, Cory Barlog did an incredible job, I avidly await his next release, this is a wonderful piece of art ❤

    One of the best recent single player games I’ve played, easily a 10 with great detailed story telling, with great call backs to previous games as well as amazing foreshadowing. Also love the new point of view and combat system, makes it really feel good to play.

    Was totally caught off guard with the quality of this game. This new take on Kratos shows how far gaming as a medium has come. The gameplay is outstanding, the cast of characters are superb, and the story is an emotional ride between an absent father trying to fix a relationship with his son. Can’t wait for the sequel

    Without a doubt, the best GOW game out there. It’s really rare to find a game that’s an awesome gameplay and an even fantastic story. The guys at Santa Monica did a wonderful job and I just hope they continue delivering great experiences for the fans. Thanks for respecting us as fans yet fulfilling your goals as a team.

    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.
