    El juego es el mejor de Playstation 4

    Yo creí que con God of War 3 y Ascención veía su final de Kratos pero ¡Fue una gran sorpresa! Hasta donde llevan la historia y el desarrollo de los personajes la banda sonora es increíble y el juego es MUY REJUGABLE.

    Absolute masterpiece. From the story to the visuals to the character development. I can, without a doubt, that I would recommend this game to anyone.

    O melhor jogo da franquia e um dos melhores e mais bonitos da geração. É impressionante a variedade de equipamentos e o carisma dos personagens.

    This is literally the best game i've ever played. In contrast to the others games of the serie, God of War its a game with reflections that make you think about your own life, beyond that it has many stories about the norse mythology, and its very very cool.

    By far the best God of War game I have played. The story and gameplay was brought to a new level. The visuals are beautiful, combat is fun and enjoyable but can get a bit repetitive.

    The story does what AAA games these days don't: Watchable. Also mashing your axe into enemies is fun and stuff.

    A very good journey about what it is to be a father and becoming a man, to control and also to show your emotions, not letting them get the better out of you and not thinking you are better without them as well.

    Outra obra de arte da Sony, que conseguiu inovar uma franquia já consolidada e amada no mundo dos games.

    I've beaten this game a couple of years ago. After reading a little about Norse mythology I've decided to check some of the game content on YouTube. I was surprised how many interesting bits of lore I have missed. I must admit that the story is executed exceptionally well both from the emotional and mythological points of view and I just can't wait to get back to it again.

    Tecnicamente rasenta la perfezione, la storia purtroppo non è niente di speciale ma funziona.
    La cosa che non mi ha convinto, stranamente, è il combat sistem, troppo inquadrato e di difficile gestione (capire quale nemico alle tue spalle ti stia per attaccare è molto complicato e questo inoltre blocca ogni possibile combo che stai eseguendo, combo tra l'altro troppo lunghe).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent God of War qui change beaucoup par rapport aux précédents.
    Le gameplay est agréable, et facilement accessible. Je déplore juste le manque de gros combats, surtout quand le boss final est un boss qu'on a combattu 3 fois durant le jeu. Également le fait qu'il y ait plein de monde non visitable, ça m'a un peu déçu. Le jeu a une belle durée de vie, avec la possibilité de rejouer tout en ayant de nouveaux équipements. Le vrai Boss final du jeu est la Reine des Valkyries, boss quasiment imbattable même en étant en mode histoire.    … Expand

    This is my favourite game ever made and, if you have a PS4 (or PS5) this is a game that you simply NEED to play. You know what, if you don't have a PS4 or PS5, you still need to play this game. It's the epitome of a system seller. Everything about this game is a masterpiece and I genuinely struggle to find one genuine criticism.

    The combat is fluid and weighted, everything feels heavy and real. It's so satisfying to plough through enemies with his axe (or with another weapon that I won't spoil).
    The story is one of the best tales told in video games. It manages the balance the personal relationship of Kratos and his son, making it a close and beautiful game, while also keeping the epic boss fights and grand sense of scale that the previous games brought.

    Play this game. It's free on PS plus if you have a PS5 and still... buy it! If you want an incredibly well told and gripping story, buy this game. If you want fun and fluid combat, buy this game. If you want epic boss fights with dragons and gods, buy this game. If you want to shout BOY every 5 seconds, buy this game. If you want the best graphics in a game to date, buy this game. Simply put, if you want to have fun and get taken back emotionally, buy this game.    … Expand

    The game is beautiful, emotional , fun, well directed. The game is a masterpiece in my eyes the game play never gets boring in the game and the story is one of the best stories I’ve experienced in my life. I think it’s because I played the old games I feel that way.

    Absolutely perfect game. I cannot think of anything that could have made this experience any better. Everything from the action, the simple to play yet challenging to master combat, the voice acting, the story, the often passive presentation of the story which gives you a steady drip of story throughout the duration of the game, the perfect amount of exposure to Norse mythology without itAbsolutely perfect game.

What I appreciate about this game even more is that it deviates from the previous God of War games at the perfect time and with flawless execution in gameplay which really gave a whole new breath of fresh air to the series that was still good, but just at the verge of becoming repetitive. I always enjoyed the God of War games, but this one is perfection.… 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.
