    This is one of the few, if only, games that I watched someone play through the game in it's entirety and still when out and bought it and then played through it twice! It's that good. I'm not going to include spoilers so feel free to read on.

    There are very, very few games these days that come out and they are perfect as is with no day one update needed. I had no bugs, no graphical problems and no crashes. I suggest playing the game, not on the easiest setting, but the one up from that. It has a great balance of difficulty and gameplay at that level. I tried it on the harder difficulty and I barely got past the first few enemies. The graphics are stunning. I don't gush at graphics. I don't usually get awestruck buy those things, but this game had me agape. It is stunningly beautiful, this mixed with the fantastic story and gameplay create a trifecta of gaming pleasure from beginning to end. I can't say 1 bad thing about this game, the only thing, maybe, that the difficulty is very steep and it adds more health to enemies and more attack damage from them. I would like to have seen them have more complexity at higher levels than just damage buffs. There are certain attacks that you do at easier difficulties that no longer work on them at higher levels, which is pretty neat, and shocking, when you are in the middle of battle and expecting your attack to work. I would like to have seen more of this as a difficulty spike than just the health and damage increase from the enemies. But that is the ONLY thing I can nitpick about the game, and is not worth a point reduction to me. I can not wait for the next installment, it's going to be on the PS5, yippeeeee.    … Expand

    Best game of this generation for me. By far my favourite game on the PS4. Yes this was my first god of war game, but I loved it so much I went back and replayed all of them after the fact. Great combat, amazing story (personally my favourite story on all consoles). No complaints at all with how this game turned out. Recommend for sure.

    In my opinion an absolute masterpiece. This game is literally a perfect action/adventure game. If the game isn’t perfect then it’s as close as it gets. I was jumping out of my seat and screaming like a little girl at the stuff that was going on in this game. They also have a great chance to flesh out this new arc of Kratos.

    Juego increíble, tiene una historia muy entretenida, unos combates bien llevados, personajes con carisma y para ser un Videojuego lineal puedes explorar mas de lo que se ve a simple vista.

    I dont hand 10s out lightly but this is a must play. This game alone is worth the purchase of a ps4. Ill spare you the details, but essentially GoW is the refresh of a franchise everyone wanted that nobody would thought possible or imagined. This game is perfect. Go buy it now. Put all other games on hold

    Perfect combination of story driven and gameplay driven game. Combat system is fun and has a good learning curve, starting with simple combat with several new tools and systems adds progressively, ending up with a pretty high skill cap.
    Looks amazing and supporting characters are very fun, particularly Mimir and the Dwarves.

    As a gamer i enjoyed this game a lot, this is what you always wanted when you were a kid and wanted photorealistic games to be a reality. This game is just a masterpiece, its violent but beatiful at the same time, the story is very good, kratos is a very depth and awesome character and i highly recommend this game, its a must have.

    One of, if not the, best games I have ever played. Everything is crafted to perfection with interesting characters and plots, enthralling landscapes and the best weapons I have ever used in a video game. Fully utilizing the PS4 to it's maximum capabilities, God of War captivates and truly cements its place as one of the greatest PS4 games ever made.

    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.
