    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful father and son story that completely changes the entire series for the better. The introduction of Mimir and Atreus has made the previous games feel lonely and the move to Norse Mythology is also a bit of a twisted hero move as Thor and Odin are pure evil here. The new trio of characters and the brand new style with both a beautiful world and story has truly shown that this game is worthy of 2018's GOTY… Expand

    This game is not a masterpiece, it is a gem to the history of video games. The game play is a breath of fresh air after the violent original game series and the story of this game was a masterpiece, seeing the interactions between Atreus and Kratos were amazing, and the Baldur fights were fun (Especially the first one.)

    This game has no bugs, no framerate drops, no one the I saw at least. The fisics works perfectly, the history of this game is the best!
    This is the best gamer I've ever played in all my life, I have no doubt about that! Well, maybe the next one can surprise me on the same way.
    It's a masterpiece !!!

    It already speaks things when I can say I have played the game 4 times already and platinumed it. The story is the best I have played, the graphics are the best I have seen of the ps4 generation (the lou2 might be an exception) and the game's combat keeps fresh due to the new runic attacks, abilities and new arrows for Atreus and skills you get as you go on.

There is still a lot to do after you finish the games with the Valkyries which all are pretty different and unique, the huldra brother's amazing side quests and muselpheim challenges. The game gives good rewards for completing side quests. (I can say this as I couldn't finish some battles near the mountain without finishing some side quests in Give Me God Of War).
    This game has a lot of touching moments with Atreus as he matures and reminds you of your childhood. Cory Barlog best says it "Kratos teaches Atreus how to be a god, and Atreus teaches Kratos to be human again". This is not only evident in the main story but with all the side quests you do. This game also keeps you interested in the story and Norse mythology whenever you are realm travelling or riding a boat. The one-shot camera and he amazingly fast realm and fast travels without loading screens shows it's technical greatness. Overall, there is a reason it won GOTY and it's sequel is more hyped than the legend of Zelda sequel. Proud to say this was the first game I played on my PS4.    … Expand

    Best game I have ever played. This game takes every brilliant aspect from previous games like father and son (last of us), great gear system (horizon) and sick combat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Además de ser un excelente juego que puede que haya decepcionado a muchos fanáticos de entregas anteriores. Pero su gran mérito se valida en la revolución que construyó con adoptar un enfoque completamente diferente sin traicionar al mismo tiempo su esencia en cuanto a la historia y a la naturaleza del protagonista. Gráficos, jugabilidad, narrativa, y todo el resto de sus elementos completamente renovados para bien. El director se ha arriesgo y para bien ha logrado que gente que nunca hayan conocido a la historia de God of War se interesaran en esta historia nueva. Es una narrativa completamente dinámica y muy emocional.... Imperdible!… Expand

    Sem dúvidas um grande jogo, envolvente e muito bem amarrado. A história é sensacional e na minha opinião a trilha sonora composta por Bear McCreary é a melhor da geração de PS4.

    Is there a game more perfect than this? I don’t think so! The gameplay is smooth, the graphics are crisp, the game is second to none.

    God of War is an amazing game. The story, the gameplay and the visuals bring together something special that will make it remain as one of the best games I have ever played in my life. The sequel cannot come quick enough. Congrats to Cory Barlog and the rest of the team at Sony Santa Monica.

    Incredible, complex, emotional characters with an interesting plot (although quite simple) and amazing graphics. The gameplay is very good and combat feels great. One of the best PS4 titles. Buy.

    Darn near perfect storytelling. I recommend checking out the Myths and Legends podcast before diving in to hear some good Norse stories if you aren't familiar with Norse mythology; its worth it to pick up on some of the "Easter eggs" and foreshadowing if you want to really get invested in the story. Visuals, graphics, combat, acting, and story are exceptional.

    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.
