    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off there are a lot of salty xbix fanboys posting bad reviews so stay out of those.
    So the game?its AMAZING.as good as it comes.more games like this should be made.it immersed me in its setting,its amazingly deep and complex combat system,amazing graphics,heartfelt emotional frigging awesome story and setting,amazing soundtrack,DAT ONESHOT CAMERA,....
    Do yourself a favour and buy it
    Soke sugestions would be include more weapons in the sequel(but the weapons that are there are so deep and complex),more enemies and...thats it.these are nitpicky observations
    THANK YOU CORY BARLOG AND SANTA MONICA FOR THIS GEM OF A GAME    … Expand

    Absolutely stunning.Even on a regular ps4 the visual are stunning.Surely, Santa Monica studios and Naughty dog know how to push the Ps4 consoles to the absolute limit, The art direction and the visual and voice acting are godly, I liked how they change the style of this franchise.From a hack n slash game to a slow paced and story driven game. A surely Masterpiece !

    O retorno triunfal do Deus Da Guerra. Toda a reformulação do game fez bem para a franquia que já se mostrava desgastada em GoW Ascension. Customização, mundo maior, aventura maior e combate mais dinamico e frenético como nunca. Facilmente o melhor da franquia e forte candidato a Game Do Ano.

    Couldn't get into the prequels, they were just not for me.

    This one however? I just love it!
    The story, gameplay, music, ... almost everything is so damn beautiful in this game!

    Can't wait to explore the world and story even further. :)

    This game is probably the most magnificent game I've ever played. It's big, spectacular and the details are unbelievable. From the skin of Kratos, his muscles in action, the quality of every texture, to the snow on the floor and the reflections. Everything is a delight.

    The gameplay is a bit hard to master, but it's never unfair and there are plenty of possibilities : combo with the axe, throw it to freeze an enemy, punch and kick him savagely while dodging some ferocious attacks...
    So far, the story is very interesting and the reactions of Atreus to the cruel reality of the world is so well done.
    It's a masterpiece.
    The only thing I regret with the game is the poor performance of the PS4 Pro with the "enhanced mode". The FPS drop frequently under 30 per sec. So I play in the "performance mode".

    Despite the Negative reviews telling that this game is a clone of The Last of Us, (which in my OPINION this GOW is much better and superior) Solid points of this game: great combat, nice visual, great story writing. And the most lovable Relationship about a Dad and his son.... This game is a Masterpiece and it deserves high ratings. BUY IT NOW its a must have on PlayStation 4 !

    God of War's reboot is a triumph...Our few complaints – and there are very few – would be that the boat sections add little to the actual gameplay other than a cumbersome way to explore the world. Meanwhile, upgrading Kratos' gear sometimes means battling some eye-wateringly tiny text and over-complicated power-ups.But this game is a must buy!

    Best of GOW series. A mature, full action packaged game. Excellent graphics, a vibrant story. Combat feels good and complex. Don't follow haters (0 score??). It's a great game. First class of everything. It define how the action games should be in the future.

    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.
