    Easy 10/10. Very entertaining and heavy loaded with epic combat. This is a realy cool game to play on a nice big screen and just enjoy the adventure.

    This game is perfect. I never cared about God of War but got it in a Black Friday offer for $10...I didn´t expect it to be one of the best games I have ever played.

    Good: +Combat system: The combat is flawless, the controls respond perfect and you have plenty of options to configure Kratos and Atreus skills, with many many attacks that you can learn so don´t be discouraged if you find    This game is perfect.

    Good:
    +Combat system: The combat is flawless, the controls respond perfect and you have plenty of options to configure Kratos and Atreus skills, with many many attacks that you can learn so don´t be discouraged if you find the combat bland in the first couple of hours it will improve a lot as you learn all the mechanics and skills.

    +Graphics: Incredible, it´s like controlling the cinematics of a game. When I played it I couldn´t believe those graphics belong to this PS4 gen.

    + Story and characters: Incredible story and characters. You´ll be playing the main story for about 30 hrs, it´s better than most blockbuster film but by far. The characters are very likable like Kratos, Atreus, Brok, Sindri, Mimir. It has so much details the game involves you with, like Kratos telling stories to Atreus, or Mimir improving the lore while you are travelling on the boat.

    + It´s not just a hack and slash: Also has many secondary missions, secrets and many things to explore because GoW is not linear anymore and now is a good mix of hack and slash with adventure    … Expand

    Es quizá la mejor reimaginación de un juego que he visto, la profundidad que aborda Kratos es increíble. Además de que el nuevo sistema de combate se siente super fluido y es muy buena la dificultad, la exploración no se siente lineal verdaderamente por sus ambientaciones y objetivos que ofrecen una rejugabilidad, si quieres intentarlo.

    Everything that made the previous games awesome, the ruthless bloodbath gameplay, music and characters, but now with a sincerely meaningful storyline, character development and better attention to details(like customisation and the variety of combat) makes this the best game of an already household franchise

    Hay que valorar lo dificil que es reiniciar una saga y llevarla por otro camino distinto, god of war hace eso y mas. Nos espera un futuro ilusionante. Es un autentico juegazo.

    For me this game is the best exclusive of PS4, The soundtrack, enviroment design and the main quest of the game is really sick. This game supposed a big change in terms of gameplay compared to it's antecessors. This is an adventure game and not a hack n' slash.

    Rating this game as an adventure RPG game, is almost perfect.

    Rating this game as an adventure RPG game, is almost perfect. In the time i've played i didn't get bored and i was very hyped during my game session. God of war is a 10 adventure.

    The worst thing of this game is gameplay, is a little bit repetitive because the amount of combos is very short for me, but isn't bad because is so enjoyable and impressive. and the axe mechanic is very good to interactuate with the enviroment. The gameplay for me is good , but 0 innovation .

    A great adventure only for ps4. Enjoy of the game :)    … Expand

    This game is AMAZING. The story between Kratos an his son is emotionally good and the gameplay is topnotch and one more thing THE GRAPHIC is Mind Blowing. This game is must play for sure.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a longtime fan of this series, I wasn't sure what to expect when going in. I must say though, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! The way they took Kratos and completely changed his story and character while still building on what happened in the Greek games was amazing.

    From start to finish this game is flawless. The reinvented gameplay was a much-welcomed refresh for me. As much as I loved the old games, with the old camera and old combat system, I do think this series needed a complete overhaul. The new camera style, the Kratos-Atreus gameplay dynamic, the new runic attack system and skill trees, and the new movement all come together to make a fantastic game.

    There wasn't a single moment during gameplay that I found myself wishing things were different. There wasn't a single moment I didn't enjoy. From cutting down the tree to fighting Sigrun I had the best time. This game is a masterpiece. 10/10.    … Expand

    Es uno de los mejores juegos sino que el mejor juego de esta generación teniendo una jugabilidad profunda, narrativa excelente además de dar un refresco a la saga que no se siente forzado sino que se sienta natural y los gráficos son excelente, a Sony Santamonica se le nota el esfuerzo y cariño con el que han hecho el juego

    After a long delay, I finally made the choice to play God of War. Although it is not my type of genre, it was an adventure that I will not forget.

    Cinematically it is truly a masterpiece. The "one-take" cutscenes, together with the amazing sound design and strong soundtrack, are very compelling. The addictive gameplay with the axe makes it a complete experience. Pros: - Cinematic    After a long delay, I finally made the choice to play God of War.

    - I really don’t like the ‘back and forth’ mission/world design.
    - There was so much going on in the menus. It was hard to see what was the best way to level up your character    … 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]

    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.
