    Let's be honest here. This is one of the greatest games of all time. I've played it through a couple of times. Eventually platinumed it on ps4. I've recently started playing Ragnarok and it's just reaffirmed to me how good this 2018 installment of God of War actually is. I never played any of the pervious games, so if that's stopping you buying it.... think again. Play this and play it asLet's be honest here. This is one of the greatest games of all time.

I never played any of the pervious games, so if that's stopping you buying it.... think again. Play this and play it as soon as you can. Then buy Ragnarok and play that because its just as good. It seems longer though. Never have I felt like I've got my moneys worth like I do when playing these games. Expand

    A great renovation for the game that features a character that fits into different battle contexts, I thought it was fantastic, in addition to a game with great gameplay both for PS4 where I had already played and PS5 where I played for the second time.

    Easily the best game of that year. Wonderful story with amazing ways to tell it. The game is so well tied together you find it hard to find stopping points so you can get back to real life.

    The story telling and the cinematics were fantastic and engaging. The battel system was good and pretty easy to use. The whole game is fantastic and they really did an excellent job and took their time with everything and being quick to fix player issues.

    A truly innovative landmark in video game storytelling.
    Each important character and their voice actor set the tone for this game, and the atmosphere it sets is the best I've experienced in a video game story.
    The combat is also engaging, and imo this is one of the few games where the difficulty setting really shines. Unlike FromSoft games, the story takes center stage here, and can be

    God of War 2018 is a surprise and the foundation of a new formula for this popular and flagship franchise. Its few flaws are hidden under its many strengths Although we saw the evolution of this formula in God of War Ragnarok. But still the God of War 2018 experience is fascinating and unique

    Jogo com história sensacional, jogabilidade incrível e muito divertido de se joga, com muitas variações, gráficos insanamente bonitos. Personagens incríveis e alguns engraçados, muito bom. Muita variedade em inimigos.
    Relativamente fácil e muito divertido para se platinar. Jogo muito difícil de ser zerado se for jogado na última dificuldade, o que é muito bom, traz desafio ao jogo. Trilha

    Defeitos: Único defeito foi em relação aos ataques rúnicos, o primeiro foi um dos mais fortes, e o mais caro não era tão bom assim.

    My favorite game so this review could not be that objective as i would want. But for me this is a masterpiece. The 360 grades change that this saga has suffered is the best change in the history of videogames. The combat feels amazing, there are a lot of combos, perks, hablities to improve and master them. The story is amazing. A 10/10 villain, a 10/10 relationship between Kratos andMy favorite game so this review could not be that objective as i would want. But for me this is a masterpiece.

A 10/10 villain, a 10/10 relationship between Kratos and Atreus that improves in every minute of the journey, the lore that the game builds is astonishing as the side characters that help to hold it.

    The best exclusive of Playstation in the PS4 era without a doubt.

    Oh boy! Where to begin?

    I guess the story:

    Fantastic, beautiful character development, funny moments, BOYYYYYYYY!!!!!! And of course... Kratos.

    The combat:

    The combat is really fun! Even though it's mostly spamming R1 and R2, but, you can feel the force throughout each attack.

    I have hardly anything bad to say about this game... But the puzzles could definitely use some more work...

    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.
