    This game has grown and matured with it's audience. The shift is masterfully done and the hesitations of many can be put to rest. The combat is a more nuanced affair, brutal enimies ready to pounce keep you on your toes. Kratos now has a more action rpg focus with weapon,skill and stat upgrades that are well handled. Speaking on a technical note the game is beautiful ( played on PS4 Pro)This game has grown and matured with it's audience. The shift is masterfully done and the hesitations of many can be put to rest. The combat is a more nuanced affair, brutal enimies ready to pounce keep you on your toes. Kratos now has a more action rpg focus with weapon,skill and stat upgrades that are well handled. Speaking on a technical note the game is beautiful ( played on PS4 Pro) with deep color and attention to artistic detail at every turn. The story lore abd setting again are masterful so all in all stop reading this review and go play God of War!… Expand

    A perfect 10, when I thought it could not be more perfect game, comes this new god of war and closes my mouth, Kory Barlog and the team of santa monica did an excellent job, the franchise needed this fresh air, the saga was I was getting a little bored, excellent sequence shot, I love the narrative and I'll just say that the end of this game has been the most epic of all, I can not waitA perfect 10, when I thought it could not be more perfect game, comes this new god of war and closes my mouth, Kory Barlog and the team of santa monica did an excellent job, the franchise needed this fresh air, the saga was I was getting a little bored, excellent sequence shot, I love the narrative and I'll just say that the end of this game has been the most epic of all, I can not wait for the sequel.… Expand

    i have never felt so immersed, amazed and awed at a video game in a very long time. I never thought a game would push the technical, narrative boundaries so far and let alone a god of war game do that.
    i hope industry takes a lesson from this game and we see amazing title like this in the future.

    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.

    This game, from the visuals, to the soundtrack, to the story, it's amazing. It's a big step in singleplayer games on the industry. I really can't find somenthing bad about this game, maybe the repetition of bosses, because they are kinda similar, even though they are great, and some bosses in this game are epic. The story is amazing, puzzles, gameplay mechanics are great and addictive.This game, from the visuals, to the soundtrack, to the story, it's amazing.

Also, i don't know which one i prefer, God of War 2 or God of War 2018. Both are my favorites from this franchise, which by the way, i'm a huge fan. You don't need to be a fan to love this game though. But if you are fan, some parts of this game will make you very happy.… Expand

    Extremely fun. This is my first God of War game and I'm having a lot of fun. The graphics on Pro are simply amazing and the combat *Mwah. This is a game you don't want to pass up 2018 or you'll be booting yourself later.

    This game is incredible. The graphics, audio, gameplay and story all play a massive role in this amazing game. One of the best titles this console generation. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you do not at least try it out.

    10/10 what a masterpiece. You can feel the quality in every second of it. No micro-transactions,no season pass,loot box,etc piece of garbage money milking stuff. One of the best modern games i have ever played. I hope other companies think twice before charging 60$ for a garbage early access games

    God of War is a pretty solid game. The combat is pretty tasty, it takes you some time to get used to but it´s pretty nice, the story didn´t forget the other games and the things he did before, it may look like but it´s not a "Last of Us" with Atreus. In the first hours of gameplay, it may look like a linear game but it´s not , it´s just on those first hours.

Most people giving it 0's either don't own a ps4 or are judging it before playing it because they liked the previous games in the series.

    This is truly an awesome game to play. It combines three of my favorite things I want in a video game. Rich lore, a vast open world and plenty of stuff to kill. I gotta say. Santa Monica Studio created a masterpiece.

    Depois de Thee Witcher 3, temos um novo jogo de excelência ao extremo no mercado e ele se chama GOD OF WAR!!! Parabéns para a Santa Mônica desenvolveu um forte candidato a GOTY 2018 (pra mim só Red Dead Redemption 2 terá condições de peitar o God of War nessa disputa).

    Believe the hype, not the trolls!! This is one amazing and at times challenging games with great graphics, gameplay and story. I didn't play previous GOW games and yes you may draw similarities to other games, but this game feels fresh nevertheless and find ways of adding new qualities. That's a top AAA title.

    this game is epic!! you feel all the anger and wrath besides the emotional storytelling. neither combat system is like souls series nor regular action rpg / adventure games...in combat, you need to really think to react what to do and that feels of attacks are priceless.. thank you santa monica, thank you sony..

    Wow I’m love absolutely everything I hoped it would be. I’m a 35 year old 25 year long gamer and have played every god of war and I never though I would play one that would surpass GOW 3 but this just might. Awesome job CB and team!

    Fazia um bom tempo que não ficava ansioso por um jogo, mas esse God Of War superou todas as minhas expectativas. Enredo brilhante, lutas desafiantes e mais dinâmica, combate totalmente moderno e a exploração ficou impecável sem contar os cenários lindíssimos e gráficos maravilhosos, tirando o melhor do PS4. Pra mim o jogo do ano até aqui.

    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.
