    I recommend this game to everyone that owns PS4 console. Must have title. Beautiful graphics, probably the best graphics that have ever been released on PS4 system. Beautifully crafted visuals and music. But also amazing story be told here. This game has no microtransactions and it also proves how single player games are needed and wanted.

    God Of War is back and better then ever! Pick up this one. The story, music, game play and graphics are all perfect. There is also a lot of thing to do in the game with a colossal lifespan which is very rare these days especially for solo games. Just buy this game if you are a old fan of the series or new!

    Don't believe the shameless 0/10 reviews! Those are obviously fake and were written by pure haters. If someone /genuinely/ believes this groundbreaking game deserves a score of 0 or so, then he or she are either lying or are simply ignorant. Just my two cents.

    I have been waiting for game like this for a while now for Play-Station. God of War is one of those games that will make you fall in love with gaming all over again. This may not be the god of war we remember in the past but Santa Monica studios toke the direction in a different way and I think it is a huge success and everyone should get the opportunity to experience it.

Combat feels really good and there is alot of different combos and ways for you to choose how you wish to fight your opponents.

    Only negative thing would be that there is not as many big boss fights as there usually is in a GoW game which is kind of a bummer, but the overall experience of the game is way to good to not give it a 10/10.

    If you own a PS4 this game is a must buy.    … Expand

    The insane level of detail, the great story and acting, the gorgeous art direction, lighting and the overall presentation, combined with a great gameplay, a deep satisfying combat system and a complete characters level up department, make God Of War one of the best gaming experiences, if not the best so far, I have ever had.
    I think that any PS4 owner should play this game!

    Giving this game a 10 to drown out the people who gave this game a zero. I get if someone doesn't think this game is a 10, but a zero is a straight up **** lie. this game has gorgeous settings, interesting and funny characters, satisfying combat, and a pretty deep and emotional story for a god of war game. I have beaten the main story and i still have so much left to do in the game. As aGiving this game a 10 to drown out the people who gave this game a zero.

    God of War is one of the most unique and EPIC gaming adventures I have ever encountered. This game will be remembered for decades and decades. Kudos to Santa Monica Studios! They knocked it out of the park with this one, especially with the Norse mythology based story!

    The best campaign i ever played. Is like playing a movie, its non-stop-action with details the devil himserlf would be proud of. This is a perfect story, Greek meets Norse mythology, father-son companionship and tactical warfights with adrenalinepumps.

    O último prego que faltava para fechar o caixão da concorrência chegou . Jogo perfeito, história incrível e cativante, jogabilidade intuitiva e desafiante com gráficos jamais visto nesta geração. Com toda certeza seria nota 100 se não fosse o haters verdes e os saudosistas que só dão nota 100 para os jogos da nintendo com grafico de N64 !!

    It has what many games have been losing, a linear story that allows you to interact as you progress through the game. It has a character that you develop in history and that its game mechanics went out of the conventional. The kinematics is so combined with the game that it is difficult to know if you are still in the game or in the video. Leaving aside all the conceptual art and    573/5000

    Uma transformação inacreditável, uma história magnifica. Isso não é um jogo é uma obra de arte. Os estudos da Santa Mônica estão de parabéns, fizeram um belíssimo trabalho.
    A jogabilidade é muito melhor que os anteriores, estou muito feliz pelo jogo.
    O que mais me pegou nesse jogo é a história entre pai e filho. Está emocionante.

    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]
