    Historia Buena yo creo que se podría mejorar.
    Los dioses se siente débiles comparados con el resto de npcs.
    Misiones secundarias que son narrativamente malad y innecesarias.

    Tremendous graphics. Some of the best story-telling ever. The defining moment of this console generation! A must play!

    I was 2 years late with playing the game. But by far the best game I have ever played. Being able to fight Norse gods and Valkyries, along with having a bliss storyline. Can’t think of anything the game could’ve improved on. Set it up perfectly for the next GoW release which is hopefully in the next couple of years.

    An amazing game. The journey Kratos went on was the breath of fresh air I needed. I loved the combat system, and incorporating it with weapon/fist/magic transition combos was the icing on the cake. I only gave it a 9, because at the time when I beat the game, there wasn’t a New Game+ and there weren’t any trophies to obtain for the harder levels, which pretty much made me keep my distanceAn amazing game.

    Too many bosses that are the same. Otherwise. Absolutely amazing. The story is mind blowing and the gameplay is insanely professional.

    A mudança de jogabilidade foi a melhor para esta nova saga.
    Um jogo que dá vontade de jogar e não parar, quando chegamos ao fim ficamos tristes por acabar.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Que tiene que tener un juego para que sea excelente. Para mí tiene que ser desafiante, con buenas y diversas macanicas de combate, progresivo para que puedas ir mejorando a tu personaje, con puzzles, con una gran historia, personajes carismaticos, con buenos gráficos y buena música. Y una gran virtud que tiene este juego, es que cada parte del juego está pensada para darte un buen desafio, no es de esos mundos abiertos que simplemente tiran lo enemigos en el mapa como si fuera un copy paste.
    A los desarrolladores GRACIAS POR TANTO.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great continuation to the original Greek mythos of the God of War series. Except a little slow in peace in the beginning chapters of the game, this game really lives up to the tittle “God of War”, the tension spiked and reached to the maximum when Kratos acquired the notorious blades of chaos. Moreover what a twisted plot and a great adaption to the Ragnarok mythos.… Expand

    Играл во все игры серии на оригинальном железе, но эта игра больше всех понравилось. Может потому что Кратос менее злой стал, или может потому что больше элементов РПГ в игру завезли. Но прошел в ней почти все кроме порталов и боев с валькириями. Дополнительные квесты очень интересные и хорошо прописанные.Играл во все игры серии на оригинальном железе, но эта игра больше всех понравилось.

    The battle system is fun. The presentation is absolutely stunning and the father son story is just heartwarming ... but never cheesy. I do not understand why a lot of players like the one dimensional always angry cratos from the first parts better. The new characters are so much deeper and more mature. Looking back at the heavy metal cratos from before almost is a bit cringy now.

    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.
