    Il gioco è spettacolare dal punto di vista grafico, lo storytelling e la trama sono di altissimo livello e l’evoluzione dei personaggi è notevole ma coerente, inoltre ho apprezzato molto la scelta di realizzare l’intero gioco in piano sequenza e questo, almeno a me, ha garantito una maggiore immersione nella storia.

    I'm so glad that PC gamers could play this Masterpiece and I believe that they will enjoy that and they will never hate this game and other PlayStation games, Just because they are exclusive, anymore!

    same level as uncharted 4, this is my favourite game of playstation exclusives and also in all ps4 games.
    This game is my firts entry in GOW series & I love every aspects of this game.
    characters & wolrd & mythology is just best.
    combat & gameplay is fun & entertaining & heavy which is good for a GOW game.
    voice acting and performances at its peak.
    perfect game for me.

    God of war really shows how a video game series can totally revamp their gameplay and end up being even better. I like that it changes the gameplay and doesn t go with the same old formula, while still maintaining to deliever fan service for the og's. The story is very well written, it has many twist and turns, his relationship with atreus has some tension at moments.

The gameplay is really satisfying, personally this one my favorite combat in a video game ever, it s pretty challenging while also being pretty complex and cinematic. The only bad thing is after the stranger boss it doesn t really escalate in terms of epicness, but nonetheless they re still better than many other boss fights in games. Its just that the first fight is so good you ll have to see for yourself… Expand

    The father-son relationship is often used in many franchises already. Kratos himself became softer. And so far I like the rest.

    Great characters with interesting personalities and quirks, amazing world building, amazing story, the gameplay wasn't the best ever but it was still good. I think the norse mythology is what really sells it for me, the story keeps you on your toes from start to finnish, truly amazing.

    Ca m'a énormément remémoré le gameplay des Darksiders, bon point pour ça.
    L'histoire se laisse regarder, les phases de QTE m'ont gonflé (comme tous les jeux qui en abuse).
    Au final ça mériterai plus d'être un film qu'un jeux.

    Revisit this game after I've got no more game to play so I decide to give GOW another chance as I'm only playing this game for the past 2 weeks. Turns out its a very great game and I'm glad I'm revisiting it before completely drop the game.

    I've realized that I view this game incorrectly and playing it in not a right way as I'm not exploring enough which you have to in this game because that's the point of the game, exploring and get stronger.

    Exploration is fabulous and rich although the world of God of War is not really that big but what's the point of an empty big world? Lots of stuff and resources to look for and of course some light and tricky puzzles that creates a great dynamic in the exploration process.

    Combat is not really great at first but as you unlock more skills and Atreus getting stronger (as well as obtain a skill) it becomes much better as I can finally feel and say that "this is God of War". The greatest moment is when you cannot use your main weapon in the mid story so you have to go back home to bring back "Chaos Blade"

    Story of course is well directed with some mysteries that later will be reveal or even still a mystery till the end. The point is, the story is more understandable this time around and way more emotional.

    Platforming is somehow the most frustrating part IMO which one of the reason I can't give this game a perfect score. Climbing and descending are a complete bothersome process. Another reason is the travel process (don't know if its call fast-travel or not) which take way too much time as it gives a negative impact in the exploration field.

    Overall it's a complete package of an overhaul of GOW as they are making a drastic changes but they successfully able to transfer Kratos to a great world and story besides the Greek mythology.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplesmente uma obra-prima, um dos melhores jogos que já joguei, um ícone da minha época com PS4. É uma obra focada em narrativa com dois personagens em intriga, onde eu me sentia acompanhando uma família em formação, chegava a emocionar em certas partes da história, principalmente quando Kratos solta suas ataduras dos braços e sente o vento raspar a pele antes de terminar sua jornada com Atreus. A ambientação e trilha sonora fazem uma combinação perfeita nesse jogo, que dá um ar de estar literalmente na Mitologia Nórdica, além dos belos gráficos que fizeram eu parar para aproveitar a vista artística por diversos momentos. Em jogabilidade, há uma certa mistura de mecânicas hack and slash com clássico RPG, onde dá para fazer combos, porém há uma necessidade de explorar, coletar recursos e evoluir os dois personagens, forçando eu a explorar cada canto do cenário, aproveitando cada missão e detalhe do jogo. O único defeito que consegui enxergar nessa obra, foi a falta de explicação sobre a passagem de God of War III para esse novo que seria o "IV"!… Expand

    Багов хватает, но глаза не режит. Сюжет захватывающий, интересный. К технической состовляющей вопрос нет. Отдельно похвалю разрабов за раскрытие Атрея-Локи. В общем игру стоит времени и денег, но не шедевр

    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.
