    Hmm First I have to say to the people of Metacritic, You should make system where someone check the reviews first. No matter how bad the game is no game deserves a 0 score specially the game like this.
    I don't believe that God Of War is worst than No Man Sky or any other bad game exist, Giving it a 0 like some of the User reviews have is clearly shows that you are a fanboy of other side    Hmm First I have to say to the people of Metacritic, You should make system where someone check the reviews first.

    I don't believe that God Of War is worst than No Man Sky or any other bad game exist, Giving it a 0 like some of the User reviews have is clearly shows that you are a fanboy of other side and plainly hating the game. I never liked Zelda or mario (which are a lot and they have to go now) games and still don't but i have never thought of it like a 0 game but in 8ish or 7ish at least because every game has something or anything that attracts you and no one has a right to gave a game like zelda or Last of Us or Uncharted or Mario or God of War or Forza or Gears of War or Halo a 0 on sites like meta because it can hurt the game sales because alot of people dpn't make their opinion but rather make theirs from other's. So few guys who game GOW-PS4 a 0 don't deserve to post their review to a site where their review can hurt the game sales (Even if the game is changed enough to look like a different game if its good then you have to give it a credit for what it does good) not that their review will matter for GOW or any other blockbuster game like Zelda or The Last of Us but still Meta people have to make something or atleast make a review score meter that starts from 5 instead of 0 for which i will be very grateful.

    Now for me the game is master piece, I know graphics doesn't matter if the game is good, but when graphics make the game more immersive, a living breathing world then it makes the game more love able, driven. The game play is also great, I love all of the God Of War series but i like this one more may be because it feels fresh as a God Of War game. The story is so great and relate able to some degree as well. The world is so beautiful and immersive, so far the best looking game i have played and I have played many on my high end PC and resolution doesn't matter if the models have low polygons or average. And yes the game doesn't have 60fps and from PC gamer's perspective it can be well all i can say it hurts more of a pride/ego rather than the play of the game when the game is not multiplayer or a racing game. So i didn't matter to me that on my ps4 pro the game wasn't reaching 60fps well to be fair graphics are more important to me as long as the game is atleast 30fps and i played it on resolution mode and i loved it and still loving it as i started on hard difficulty.
    So all in all it was a great experience which had after a long time, last time i had this much fun with Horizon Zero Dawn before that with Uncharted 4 and before that with Witcher 3 PC.
    So thanks to Sony and the DEVs for making this great and memorable game,    … Expand

    Sin ningún tipo de duda estamos ante el mejor God of war de toda la saga, han cuidado hasta el mas mínimo detalle, gráficos y jugabilidad excelentes, una banda sonora a la altura de la franquicia, el nuevo sistema de combate junto con los toques de rol, no esperaba menos de este juego, una excelente manera de reiniciar a la saga sin tener que cargarse la historia de los anteriores.

    Haters gonna hate, but this game is a technological marvel!
    The story is intriguing and engaging, combat is challenging, graphics are breathtaking.
    I think Santa Monica has managed to craft a perfect recipe for the gaming industry and this genre.
    I feel blessed to be able to experience this heartwarming tale of Gods!

    Thank you, Santa Monica!

    This is one of those games that you would never forget. The immersion is praiseworthy and the experience to play as few in the market. That way the camera has to never lose sight, without cuts, is what makes God of War one of the most special games not only of this generation but of all the history of the industry.

    Essential game in the PS4 collection. An unexpected turn in a franchise of many years and that has surprised. Visually we speak of a technical section worthy of this generation.

    When I fought with The Stranger, I said so many bad words. The scene become more powerful than before. I just have played a little, but I think the story would be great. I can feel the development between Kratos and Atreus.

    Definitely the most personal experience I've ever played in my life! That's a lot to say in my case because I've played many games where the relationship with the characters is very intimate as other subjective experiences like Journey or Telltale's The Walking Dead.

    this is not a game as I expected. As a fan of GOD OF WAR I wanted to continue the great universe and this is a copy of THE LAST OF US and it is not successful. After 9 hours I went through the game and ending which is a disappointment. SONY why ????

    One of the best games I ever played! people keep comparing this game to TLOU but they have nothing in common, other then both being single-player and both main characters having a family relationship. The combat in this game is fantastic!

    I will keep this short, listen to those critic reviews, they haven’t been bribed, threatened or smacked over the head with an Xbox...they just know a decent game when they see one. Go get your copy and play a truly awesome masterpiece.

A Sony, assim com sua Santa Mônica Studios, tem um respeito admirável por seu jogador, ao entregar a essência de um jogo, que é a história dele! As mecânicas de combate não estão difíceis, assim como nos anteriores, mas dão gosto de usar o machado agora. E os gráficos.. que lindos! E isso porque joguei no PS4 normal de meu amigo(dono do jogo, que eu ainda não peguei o meu). Aos fãs de God of War, digo: o velho Kratos continua com sua violência, mas é um novo homem para o qual torcemos. Então você fã não se arrependerá de comprar e jogar! Aos novos gamers em God of War, cuidado... vão se tornar fãs da franquia e após este, irão atrás dos antigos jogos.

    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.
