    God of War 4 c'est la fusion de Kratos pour les quelques combats qui restent, Lara Croft pour la quantité de tombeaux à piller et de Denis la brocante pour la montagne de breloques à trouver. Le jeu est très beau certes, mais il est monotone. De plus la carte et l'interface sont peu pratiques. Et biensûr le moutard Atreus est pénible.

    The best God of War to date! I loved this game and everything about it (even crybaby Balder). This game stand as one of the top 10 maybe even top 5 games of this generation and worth of all accolades. The father and son relationship between Kratos and son makes this game unique. The action is amazing, the RPG elements bring depth and replayability. Can't wait for the sequel (I know theThe best God of War to date!

If I had to pick one word to describe God of War, that word is Boring. And while I wouldn't expect every reviewer to have played the PS2 games in this franchise and thus be so disappointed with the many steps backwards this game has taken, I find it impossible to believe that any person of their own free will rated this game a 10.

    If this game is better than Horizon: Zero Dawn (as the review scores would indicate), then I'm the Prince of Persia.

    The most glaring problem, one that kneecaps the whole game, is that Kratos is a pu**y. Yes. Read that again. Kratos, the son of Zeus, mythical embodiment of the concept of strength, is a huge pu**y. Oh, he can perform all manner of godly feats of strength...in a cutscene. But once you assume control of him, he's got all the battlefield presence of Gumby with Cerebral Palsy. In the previous GoW games, Kratos delivered the beatings. In this, he receives them. Most every enemy you face can kill the God of War in 3 hits, and quite a few can do it in less.

    The combat itself is terrible. It's like a Souls game, without the variety or the tight control scheme that make Souls games worthwhile.

    Apparently not satisfied that they had turned Kratos into a pu**y, the devs felt they needed to further estrogen-soak the whole affair by afflicting us with Kratos annoying son, hereafter referred to as Choad because I can't be bothered to remember his name. Choad spends the game reprising the role of Forest Gump to Kratos Lieutenant Dan, incessantly spitting out dialogue to make you aware of things that are either obvious, or irrelevant. Thank you, Choad, for letting me know something is coming through the wall. I could not feel the ground shaking, see the wall falling apart, or hear the beast beating on it. Whatever would I do without you, Choad?

    Choad can take a beating much better than Kratos, though, so at least someone isn't completely worthless. I wish I could tell you one of these losers dies at the end, but alas it's not to be.

    The dialogue is likewise awful, a hackney affair of no substance whatsoever. The Last of Us did everything this game tries to do, better, a generation ago. The Teal'c and Choad Show just isn't very interesting. Chris Judge could have been a great voice actor for Kratos, but no. Sony clearly told him to re-summon his inner Jaffa, then overdosed him with antidepressants. A more flat, monotone treatment of this character would be hard to imagine, and that's especially irritating since they did it deliberately.

    A simple remake of the original GoW series would have been ten times the game this PoS is.    … Expand

    God of War é uma obra prima que cravou seu nome na história e se consagrou como sinônimo de Playstation. É um jogo espetacular, com um ótimo game play e com mecânicas um pouco diferentes do dos seus antecessores, foi um reboot muito bem aceito na franquia e justificando a mudança na mitologia ali presente.

    Les combats sont réussis, on a vraiment une sensation de puissance. La mise en scène des combats, les mouvements des personnages, les finishers (qui sont toujours les mêmes, mais bon) apportent du piquant et subliment cette puissance, il fait bon d'être un dieu !

    a muchos tampoco les termina de convencer Astreus porque los irrita, pues ese es el punto quedar en el lugar de Kratos que tambien se ve frustrado por el comportamiento de su hijo, un apartado muy envolvente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is just incredible. Undoubtedly the best in the franchise and the best game I played in my life ... I can't wait for a sequel. Perhaps with Thor or Freya as the main boss. Being able to see all the power of ps5 in action ... And once again playing a masterpiece ... They took the chance to change the franchise, but they got it right. I already played in 2018 on the day it came out and I regret that at the time I didn't buy the collector's edition. This game deserves that and more. No doubt he deserved the game of the year and for me he deserved the best game award of the last decade in place of The Last of Us, but to be second is already a big victory. Never a game until 2018 had left me that way, having impacted me so much. To date there have been a few more, and most have been from Sony. The game is extraordinary and deserved all the prizes it won and even deserved more ... /
    O jogo é simplesmente incrível. Sem dúvida o melhor da franquia e o melhor jogo que joguei na minha vida... Mal posso esperar por uma continuação. Talvez com Thor ou Freya como boss principal. Poder ver todo o poder da ps5 em ação... E mais uma vez jogar uma obra prima ... Eles arriscaram em mudar a a franquia, mas acertaram muito bem. Já joguei em 2018 logo no dia que saiu e arrependo me de na época não ter comprado a edição colecionador. Esse jogo merece isso e muito mais. Sem dúvida mereceu o jogo do ano e para mim merecia o prêmio de melhor jogo da última década no lugar de The Last of Us, mas ter ficado em segundo já é uma grande vitória. Nunca um jogo até 2018 me tinha deixado daquela forma, me ter impactado tanto. Até hoje já foram mais alguns, e a maioria foi da Sony. O jogo é extraordinário e mereceu todos os prêmios que ganhou e até merecia mais...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War ps4 is a drag to play through if you're looking for anything resembling the old games or even just a game thats fun to play. The combat has been stripped back to become a 3rd person axe shooter. The game looks great but theres hardly anything fun about graphics. The sad dad simulator is extra dumb when handed to an insane murderer like Kratos. Its Kratos levels of insane how lame the boss fights are when 1-3 really held them up on a pedestal. Watching your son stab Thor's son and push him down a hole seems like a joke when compared to flying through Poseidon's watermonster chest as You gouge his eyes out in first person. You spend the entire game listening to characters describe how scary and badass Odin and Thor are and you literally never see them (minus a whack post credit scene) The most disappointing thing is when you walk through the final gold shimmer of the credit reel having not been to even half of the bifrost locations. This game is whack, Cory Balrog sucks as a game director, god of war 2 is my least favorite of the original trilogy anyway. Its sad to be putting god of war in the "not for me" category.… Expand

    God of War (2018) is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. The story, characters, world and game mechanics are just perfect. The combat is super fluid with many ways to customize the combat. This game is graphically impressive on my original PS4 and ran pretty good. So excited for God of War: Ragnarok to continue the story of Kratos and his son Atreus.

There is a portion where your traveling through a dark fairy hall with no light and you need to find your way across, and it's really frustrating to solve because anytime you think you've found the answer, like hurling your axe at a crank, you realize that's not it.

    I will say that, if there's one thing that saves this game from being stale to me, the combat is the most satisfying of any game I've played. It's super fun to hurl an axe at enemies with light and heavy combo's, and I can only imagine how fun it'd be with the blades of chaos.

God of War 4 -because screw you titling the nth game in the series the same as the first is ridiculous and confusing and I wish to Odin people would stop doing it- is a good game, but it's not nearly as good some people like to say it is. It sacrifices the addictive, fun and cinematic gameplay for far slower, more personal gameplay, which isn't necessarily aOk time to make some enemies. God of War 4 -because screw you titling the nth game in the series the same as the first is ridiculous and confusing and I wish to Odin people would stop doing it- is a good game, but it's not nearly as good some people like to say it is. It sacrifices the addictive, fun and cinematic gameplay for far slower, more personal gameplay, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is here.

    God of War 4 acts as a soft reboot of the series after God of War 3 seemingly capped off the series with Kratos killing his father Zeus, so what do you do when you've butchered the entire Greek Pantheon and left Greece in ruin? You move to Norway. Yes GoW4 moves to Norse mythology and barely takes advantage of that fact. The game gives you a whole host of worlds existing within Norse Myth but only lets you explore a handful, the game tells you about Thor and Odin and the closest you get to meeting either of them is a teaser for Ragnarok, you get to fight Baldur, a Greek god and his boss fight is great but it's the final fight and he's the only god you get to fight. This combined with the game failing to outdo the old games in many regards such as general combat, where the originals had you fight in big open spaces with a zoomed out camera and free control, GoW4 has you fight in open spaces with a clingy camera with minimal control, the fact that you can't pan the camera to watch behind you while you run for a health item results in countless hits and or deaths that should be totally avoidable, and I know SA knew this, because they had Atreus, Kratos' son, yell directions enemies are at, as well as having on screen prompts, but this doesn't really help for big AOE attacks on bosses or when Atreus is absent from the fight. Not helping matters is the lack of maneuverability, Kratos is more sluggish but also bafflingly, can't jump and therefore can't perform aerial attacks. Exploration has taken a NaughtyDog approach, in that you can't jump unless contextual, the game is riddled with sleep inducing climbing sections that have all the gameplay of a walking simulator.

    Where the game shines is with its characters and dialogue, Kratos and Atreus are remarkably enjoyable characters which is surprising when Kratos is pretty unlikeable, what with him murdering, slaughtering and butchering his way through Greece before, and Atreus is a child, generally unlikeable creatures, but he's wonderful, he's funny, endearing and intriguing, and it's endlessly captivating watching the two interact. Kratos going to console his son but backing away too afraid to let his guard down, even to his own child, no doubt riddled with ptsd and regret from his last family, Atreus telling a bad joke and Kratos laughing, only to deny it, Kratos believing Atreus to be injured, hearing his voice break from his general brooding demeanour into genuine worry and concern for his son, made absolutely unforgettable by Christopher Judge, Kratos' new voice actor. Speaking of voice actors, I was surprised to find Atreus voice actor, Sunny Suljic was a rare case of a genuinely fantastic child actor, which makes him a great child actor, a great child character and a great escort character... the man simply defies logic and I thought his VO work was great, especially during emotional scenes like where Kratos leaves for a few minutes but when we arrive back at Boy, we seem to have been gone several hours at least and he yells at Kratos... before going back to acting like normal like nothing happened... sorry this was meant to be the positive part of the review but that part really irked me.

    Overall, God of War The 4th, is like I said, a good game, a VERY good game, but it's not great, not even close. It thinks it's better than it is and has somehow convinced droves the same thing, acting as if the series only JUST got a good story when that has in fact, always been the case, whether or not you took notice because you were too busy distracted by it's complimentarily fantastic gameplay, is not the fault of the game. And unfortunately, Gears of God 4 doesn't quite match up to that level of superb dichotomy of gameplay and story, and relies solely on its story, which is great mind you, but hopefully Ragnarok can deliver both this time around rather than being a One-Trick. Nevertheless, I am very excited to see where the story goes next, and maybe actually fight more than one god and hopefully 0 Trolls with bloody rocks.    … Expand

    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]
