    Новый God of War одновременно прекрасен и убог(некакон, ибо я из олдов).Сюжет интересен, боёвка интересная. Из плохого: оказуаливание игры. Но 10/10, ибо игра сильно завлекла и не капельки не надоела.

    Juegalo y lo entenderas. Es una obra maestra y una narrativa como ninguna. Es triste que haya paginas que estan a favor de Nintendo que le dan notas muy bajas .

    Must play game, Kratos has matured and so did the game. It's excellent, like a glass of an old expensive wine.

    Spectacular! Admittedly it took a while to get used to.
    There's nothing else quite like it. Its visceral, brutal and hard.
    I've finished it, apart from all collectibles and Valkyries.
    Looks amazing, sounds fantastic, everything positive you have already heard is true.
    Is it the best God of War game? No, its not, but its still king of PS4 and possibly king of this generation.

    I would not be exaggerating if i said God of War is easily the best game on the PlayStation 4 and one of the best of all time. All aspects of the game are superb and the minor flaws barley detract from the experience at all. From a technical standpoint the game is incredible. Graphically it is one of the best.

All aspects of the game are superb and the minor flaws barley detract from the experience at all. From a technical standpoint the game is incredible. Graphically it is one of the best. The atmosphere, looming fogs in the distance, snow covered mountain peaks, great mystical realms and scope are all here to make one of the best looking games of all time. The sound effects are pitch perfect and the voice acting is amazing. The music is also a big part of the experience and its one of the best in gaming. The universe and world expands to you as you go further and further into the game uncovering the secrets and mysteries of the realms. Kratos and Atreus have a perfect bond and relationship that elevates the story. Kratos constantly scolding his son to form him into something better and Atreus just wanting a father that approves of him. The villain is charismatic and intimidating with clear motives. The story is focused and paced perfectly filled with a great cast, and best of all the scope and magnitude of the bombastic battles is unmatched. The combat feels fantastic weight to it. Parrying, dodging, light and heavy attacks are all pitch perfect. Runic attacks add more depth and ways to take out your enemies. Upgrading Kratos' abilities and improving his gear feels personalized and all the role playing elements are great. Rage mode and executions add the gore and brutal violence the series is known for. Creating different builds and discovering new ways to take on the creative and diverse enemies and bosses is rewarding. The boss fights are amazing and have great thrilling moments. Exploring the world and side quests is fun and they offer great rewards adding to the replay value. The environmental puzzles and runic chests require some brain power and are quite fun. There are some minor inconveniences with the annoying fast travel and some repetitive enemies but they are so small it is barley noticeable. I don't want to seem like a fan boy but i have never played a God of War game and seeing this change up the formula made me want to try it. I have few bad to say and so much to gush for hours about. Do yourself a favor and get this game.… Expand

    Uh... didn't write a review for over a year....but this is easy to catch up. A 10 in almost every regard and one of the best PS4 games and certainly GOTY 2018. Enjoyed doing Platinum Trophy for this.

About difficulty I died about 4 times against bosses and I've been close to die other times. Just make sure to move, dodge, defend and attack in the right times, specially against big monsters and bosses. It's a must have. That's for sure. It took me about 20 hours or so.

    PS: remember to use "rage" when you need to (L3 R3) and don't forget to unlock new skills and upgrade the techniques of your armour.    … Expand

    Игра неплоха, но и 10 баллов явно не заслуживает. Вытягивает только за счет харизмы персонажей.

    change such game as god of war is one hell of a task but it really shows how good it is to take real risk at difference of other companies like nintendo and breath o the wild with its supposed change of formula when everything they did was change the limited area for an open world and put the old zelda stuff in it

    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.
