    Just a brilliant semi-open world game with one of the best combat systems I've ever seen in a game. My personal favourite Sony exclusive of the ps4 era. This game is truly magnificent, play it if you haven't

    Everything about this game was just perfect. Gameplay, storytelling, level design, sounds, visual effects, graphics, optimization. I blame myself for delaying this game to play. I wish I had played this earlier. If this is considered a game, then what are the other products that are coming out these days

    Only aspects I didn't really care were the lack of bosses and some of the rpg elements. Other than that, very good game

    What a whole different beast of a game from the previous God of War games and in a completely grand direction. This game has everything. The storytelling is better than most movies. The graphics and weight of everything is gorgeous and it just works. The story is so fantastic and a huge eye-opener in the direction of where God of War has gone. Kratos transforms into such a good characterWhat a whole different beast of a game from the previous God of War games and in a completely grand direction. This game has everything. The storytelling is better than most movies. The graphics and weight of everything is gorgeous and it just works. The story is so fantastic and a huge eye-opener in the direction of where God of War has gone. Kratos transforms into such a good character from his anger-ravaged old younger self. He is a father and he will do anything to protect his boy.

    The combat is probably some of my favorite combat in a 3rd person game. The axe just works and feels fantastic. The upgrades of body armor and the styles of how they look. The game has a lot going for it and im all for it. I really love this direction they went and im mind blown at how good this game is.    … Expand

    Игра прекрасная, сюжет великолепный, боёвка крутая, но 8/10 потому что валькирии были очень сложные даже на самом лёгком уровне сложности, а я игру проходил на пред последнем уровне сложности

    God of War is probably one of the best games I've played. One of the few that not only entertains children's minds, but even develops knowledge about Scandinavian and ancient Greek mythology. The most brutal and most cruel god, who killed all the Greek gods, including the main god of all Olympus, Zeus, has a child under the name Atreus.

And the whole story that we will do, traveling through all 9 worlds, the boy will grow up with each of his choices. The gameplay here is very exciting, so exciting that it's like you're really fighting with a huge troll or an ice giant, and even with gods. In addition to the main plot, there are also additional tasks in other worlds with very valuable rewards. 10 / 10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best game I’ve played in a long time

    [Note: This is the only/first God of War game I have played]

    Gameplay: Everything controlled very well. The addition of the Blades of Chaos halfway through really added to spice up the gameplay. I did however prefer the axe and wouldn’t choose the blades when I had a choice (opposed to needed the blades since others were immune to the the frost axe) I did learn to like using them later into the game. The use needing to switch from the axe to the blades in the final baulder fight was really fun and a great idea. The “boss fights” were amazing. As for using Atreus’s arrows, once I obtained the shock arrows I only used those and not the light arrows in combat though, using them worked very well. Once I found runic attacks I liked using I never really changed them out for different ones. And they were normally the fist ones I got. I didn’t do the side quests during the main story although I may go back later (I just finished it) since I had a great time playing the game. [Updated note: Ive been playing the side quests and they’re really fun] The puzzles were great. There was never a dull moment. Mimir’s storys in the boat were really nice to listen to. I started waiting right by the dock for mimir to finish his storys.

    Story: Kratos and Atreus’s relationship coming closer was beautiful. Freya acting like a mother to Atreus was great to see. The end was beautifully done and really fulfilling. I really enjoyed it, so much. I haven’t wrote much on it but that’s not because I don’t love it so much. There was so much emotion in the story that I just ate up.    … Expand

    I have not played the original GOW games. But I think that this is a great attempt to keep an old franchise alive and give it a modern game.

    The game itself is outstanding. I can see the care and the elaborate details that make the game lovable and beautiful. It is not my favorite but I really enjoyed and it captivated me in it's world.

    对于游戏本身在演出效果上所呈现的突破值得肯定，电子游戏中的一镜到底想必是及其繁琐且困难的，而制作组近乎完美的实现它了。
    可惜，这款游戏让我眼前一亮的部分也只有演出上的一镜到底了，在节奏的把控上，它做的相当糟糕。我不知道制作组为什么要在流程中塞入一个又一个乏味的解谜，它们大多重复无聊，无法营造正向反馈，虽然是延长了游戏时间，但就我个人而言，并不喜欢这样。    对于游戏本身在演出效果上所呈现的突破值得肯定，电子游戏中的一镜到底想必是及其繁琐且困难的，而制作组近乎完美的实现它了。

    no fue hasta esta entrega que llegué a la saga, juegazo la verdad, si que es verdad que los bosses son muy repetitivos pero es que tenían planeado continuar con su sequela y darlo con todo en esa entrega. Este juego es como la base de Ragnarok, la beta se podría decir.

Eğer eski god of warlarıda oynadıysanız Kratosun nasıl değiştiğini görüceksiniz,ve bu size zevk vericek. GoW oynadıktan sonra diğer oyunların kombat sistemi sıkıcı gelmeye başladı.

    Por otro lado, nos encontramos con un videojuego completísimo, en donde disponemos de infinidad de misiones secundarias, coleccionables y diversos enemigos que derrotar, y en dónde las mecánicas son bastantes diversas y variadas, aunque en algunos casos esto hace que sea difícil hacer uso de todas ellas y aprenderlas es complicado. Finalmente, respecto al apartado gráfico y artístico, me parece una obra de arte, ya que luce en todo momento de manera espectacular.
    Sin duda alguna, un juego que realmente merece la pena probar.    … 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.
