Apr 23, 2018A Dark Solul like ridiculous, trivial and with a gameplay for children. Art and poetry are somewhere else.

Apr 29, 2018El juego estaba muy bien hasta el último parche que arruino la iluminación y genero pixeleo y framerate inestable esperemos que lo corrijan pronto por que la experiencia es muy mala después del último parche.

Jan 13, 2019boring. 1 tedious battle after another, with a few predictable puzzles thrown in. a friend lent it to me for the weekend, took it back on saturday morning. if you are into borning crap, this is for you.

Oct 2, 2018This franchise, unfortunelaty killed the old traditional gameplay which got many fans from this games. I prefer the Hack and Slash of the older God Of War.

Mar 26, 2019I am very sad that god of war has turned into some soap opera BS that no one cares about, it's a story about a dad that is trying to educate his son in the ways of killing, very murderous game, wouldn't reccommend for small children. framerate is nice with 24 frames very cinematic but that's about it.

Apr 20, 2018Pretty much everything Ive ever wanted from a God of war game. Excellent story, deep combat and great graphics. Great experience from start to finish

Apr 20, 2018God of War was always a game about visceral combat. The combat system in this game feels like an afterthought and is a huge disappointment. I'm not sure who the target audience is but it isn't typical God of War fans.
-
Sep 12, 2018COmpletely destroyed the legend.It was a waste of money.Never ever again...
-
Apr 26, 2018The game has moved away from Hack'n'Slay for unknown reasons and is now just another Diablo (3) clone.

Apr 26, 2018After playing this game for 5 hours I lost interest in it, it's just not what god of war used to be, I can't understand all the hype about it, Sony you betrayed your biggest fan!

Apr 22, 2018Combat is too dull for a "God of War" title. You're a God of Boomerangs if anything. RPGs have done everything better except the touchy-good-feeling kid story which is a copy of the Last of Us. This game is not at all a GOAT. Nothing unique is here.

Apr 25, 2018It's a really long movie with some button pressing. It's not GOW, and becomes boring after two hours. Very beautiful game, but boring game play. They tried to copy Zero Dawn but failed. Save your money.
-
Mar 30, 2019Seems pretty overrated. There's a big emphasis on flashy cinematics over gameplay, the latter being atrocious. Very few reskinned bosses and repetitive enemies and environment. Gentle Kratos, no brutality. Weak GoW game, should be renamed after something else because this is not GoW....
-
Apr 20, 2018Fair gameplay, Repetitive and slow combat, nothing really innovative, good story
-
Apr 20, 2018Самая обыкновенная бродилка всех подряд убвалка ни о чеё только зря потратил время не понимаю как можно раздуть слона из этой некчёмной мухи
-
Apr 20, 2018O visual ta bacana,a história está fraca, inimigos repetitivos, vilão sem graça, os bosses estão genéricos. Não está épico quantos os anteriores, um jogo genérico com o nome god of war, esperava mais, visaram apenas lucro, criatividade deixaram de lado.
Pra quem quer um jogo genérico e famoso esta ai, mais quem esperava uma obra de arte, vamos ter que esperar o proximo. -
Apr 20, 2018I prefer the God of War as always, this game is fine, I've been with it for several hours, but it's flat, slow, the camera is bad .... Come on, it's not worth the score given by the media. A shame.

Apr 20, 2018its very good game and you will feel that a AAA game for sure
but sorry this is not a GOW game at all
the combat is boring and not fun
and the game is too slow for GOW you will feel like your playing the last of us or Uncharted
I GIVE THE GAME 7/10 -

Mar 30, 2019I was very hyped for this game but sadly it didn't met my high expectations. Bosses are reused or not even present and the boy is always crying and being annoying. After I finally climbed that stupid mountain up I got greeted by a very lackluster ending and then they teased some DLC with another norse god that is probably trying to kill kratos, boring game. Wouldn't rec.
-
Apr 20, 2018Excellent game by an excellent developer! No micro-transactions, no season pass, no bullshiit!
Who was saying single player games were dead? Cory is the God of video-games! -

-
Apr 20, 2018this 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 ????
-
Apr 20, 2018this is the last of kratos... i rly hate this change in the game and gameplay.

Jun 12, 2018A game that is very superrated. Don't deserve such a high score because it is not god of war. It is The last of us with kratos in the north. Where are the big battles that made god of war in the past? The bosses looks like the same every time, kratos don't look like the spartan we know, his relation with his son is very forced and it is the worst god of war that i ever played in my life.
-
Apr 20, 2018Not God of War. Very poorly executed combat that reminds me of Hellblade: not a good reminder.
Camera angles are a nightmare and enemies feel generic and boring, graphics are nice but I value gameplay over eye candy -
Apr 20, 2018The story is less interesting, enemies are repetitive and also they killed God of War franchise. overall this game its so lackluster, and wait for the paid content lol
-
Apr 20, 2018Best.Game.Ever. i have ever played. Im not a big fan of GoW series but this game made me care about Kratos.
-
Apr 24, 2018Rechaza la ideología de la saga God of war Mandarin a la mierda la historia y tradición del gran Kratos ahora lo convirtieron en un auténtico actor de cine buena producción cinematográfica mal videojuego en general.

May 24, 2018The overall story is amazing, but the Muspelheim and Niflheim content is boring, broken and needlessly excessive. Basically everything else but those two realms are really good, that's why it's even more sad that to get the best armor upgraded you have to grind these absolutely lackluster trials.
-
Apr 20, 2018Pay for a video game, get a movie, a boring and expensive movie. Everything a "specialized" media likes.

Mar 30, 2019doesn't feel like the old games, I am dissappointed by this very much. I am sad for what has become of god of war :(
-
Apr 20, 2018Lo único malo es que parece otro juego, le hacen falta más enemigos y esa brutalidad que distinguía a kratos.
-
Apr 20, 2018It truly is a masterpiece. Hands down the best PS4 game I've ever played. A must try for everyone.
-
Nov 6, 2018Bad gameplay, graphic, weak story, unopen world game and no online in the game.
-
Apr 20, 2018Having played only a bare minimum amount of time at the time of writing this;
My opinion is that God Of War (4) is the utmost most innovative, tightly made (especially the controls!!!) and best looking work of art/videogame that I have ever played, in my entire life.
I love everything from the story telling to the combat. It's the perfect game and that is not something I say lightly. -
Apr 20, 2018God of War become Last of Us. Same companion, same mechanics, same plot about great journey. Good game as something different, but not God of War.

Jun 5, 2018This game have less weapons, bunch of QTE(Quick Time Event) party, enemies are repetitive, the action is poor, people that give a 10 they are so full of lies and they killed the franchise. I want my old God of War back.
-
Apr 20, 2018Nothing new for a sony exclusive, and yet not a God of War game. pretty repetitive combat downgrade of what it was before. Story is simple and not that amusing. And of course a cliff hanger to continue the factory work of producing repetitive sony games. Disappointing
-
May 1, 2018God of War is yet another stupendous inclusion to the PS4’s already strong library of Sony-published exclusives. Blending incredibly satisfying gamefeel with a very strong and even heartwarming narrative about parenting and what it means to be there for those you care for, this is one of those rare games that somehow manages to juggle both gameplay and story with ease.
-
May 27, 2018You know, God Of War is not overrated game. Quality on every corner: Atmosphere, Charachters, Emotions, OST, Sounds, Visuals, Addictive combat mechanics, every upgrade and skill feel useful. No bugs or glitches on a day one. It's a rare stuff and serious contender of GOTY 2018.
-
May 1, 2018Excellent game all around, I’m just glad Sony showed everyone again that people love great story-driven single player games, not microtransaction and lootbox-filled online trash. As many others, I vote with my wallet, and bought this game full price (as UC4&TLOU), and stay far away from the likes of EA.

Apr 20, 2018The best God of War game ever made, and surpasses the storytelling quality of The Last of Us, and is on par with Bloodborne in gameplay complexity. Cory Barlog had an impossible task, but he and his team managed to surpass and crush the expectations. An instant classic which moves the games industry forward. Highly recommended!

Apr 20, 2018Esse novo god of war tem tudo para ganhar o jogo do ano.. Não sei nem o que dizer até onde estou jogando esta espetacular

-
Apr 20, 2018Wow, I'm amazed. This stunning game reaches the heights of The Last Of Us and that says a lot. 10/10 Single player games are dead? You are so wrong, man! Thx to Sony they nailed this generation again again again!
-
Apr 20, 2018This is the GOW that we’ve all been waiting for. Years and many games to come
to THIS point. The reason and game that will make people drop jaws. Here is the system seller, the generation defining game and one of the best games of all time. Buy a PS4 just for this, just go.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Sep 13, 2018The 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]

CD-ActionJul 6, 2018Cory 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]

Jun 7, 2018Where 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.
