    This is one of the best game ever. I experienced every system in the game, and there are nothing new in the game. But Balance, between contents and scenario, is amazing as so the witcher 3, It is perfect for me, and I can recommend this game who love story-based game or action game.

    To hear tell, one might be inclined to think this is a miracle game, but it is not. It’s boring and repetitive. You’ll want to rage quit after you hear the 1000th “boy” being called out, and the repetition in enemy types is infuriating. The story is ok, but lots of plot holes ruins it. My advise: skip this one unless it is free.

    The storyline is awesome and not trivial, the atmosphere is epic! Gameplay is funny and absolutely well done.
    Main bosses are not so hard but some enemies and optional bosses are really hard and funny to fight.

    God Of war es un juego excelente en todo sentido, unas mecanicas de juego muy interesantes y divertidas variando entre las armas, un historia relacionada con el pasado de Kratos y como un padre no quiere que su hijo cometa los mismos errores que el.

I have never thought the world of northern mytology could be interpreted good but this game proves me otherwise. I was stunned by the graphics at every corner I have encountered. The collectibles are finally fun to collect. Instead of making hundred side stories they created only few but they are fun and they actually make sense. Main story will always want you to push further and you will because you are always curious what is going to happen next. Game is also a new cinematic experience made possible with camera that will never ever change because it is one take through out the game.

    Un God of War muy muy diferente a los anteriores, inspiradora en otra saga de Sony, dio un resultado perfecto. Con un apartado grafico impresionante, escenarios preciosos, vivos y llenos de color, con mucho para investigar. Es increible como aprovecha el hardware de la PS4 Pro, lo jugue en la normal y en la Pro y hay mucha diferencia grafica.

    La jugabilidad me parecio excelente, me recordo mucho a juegos como Darksiders, simple y sencilla de entender y muy divertida. Ahora con el hijo de Kratos, Atreus que te ayuda constantemente en matar a los enemigos.

    La historia me parecio muy muy buena, dejandome siempre con intriga por lo que va a pasar, atrapandome desde el primer minuto. El toque de humor que le agregan los personajes secundarios es muy bueno, mas de una vez me saco una carcajada.

    Un juego super recomendado, fundamental jugarlo si tenes una Play 4 o 5, por suerte a principio del año que viene va a salir en PC por lo que mucha gente va a poder jugar a esta obra de arte.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At the moment, this is the best game to play station 4, which I have ever seen and the game has passed almost 100%, I recommend it to everyone, the plot is simply excellent, at first I thought that the game has only one weapon and I thought that, compared to the last part, a downgrade took place, but suddenly Kratos decides to remember the past in order to cure his son, and he still takes the blades of chaos, it was amazing, 12/10.

    Taking many pages from RE4's book but maintaining its identity. This game is a masterpiece. Everything from graphics, gameplay, story is polished to perfection. It made me care about Kratos more than ever before. And it has a very memorable cast of side characters and villains. Great OST, and level design is surprisingly amazing.

    기존 갓오브워의 정체성과 북유럽신화가 잘 어울려졌다. 액션이 정말 좋아지면서 파고들기 요소가 늘어난게 제일 좋았다.

    Most likely the best PS4-exclusive this generation. It has an amazing story, great visuals, best companion ever in a video game and even great side stories. A must play!

    God of war. It’s a great game with a massive protagonist; a big Sony's exclusive; so much money spent on advertising and a lot of disappointed fans. Let’s talk about it, but first of all, I want to say something about my experience.

    God of war. It’s a great game with a massive protagonist; a big Sony's exclusive; so much money spent on advertising and a lot of disappointed fans. Let’s talk about it, but first of all, I want to say something about my experience.
    I finished the game a long time ago and my memory isn’t fresh. Anyway, I have something to say. It was one of the first PlayStation 4 games I’ve played and I’d played some older part of the franchise. If my memory serves, I’d been playing God of War 2 on PS2 and without a doubt it was gorgeous. That is why I’m somewhat a fan of this franchise.
    Let’s go into the specifics of this game.
    Well, detailed graphics is one of the pros of the new game. Everything in the game’s vast and advanced world, including the buildings, the tools, the ground, the sky, even the characters’ skin is highly detailed. Admittedly, it’s not an open world, and I think it’s for the better because the developers were able to show an interesting mythical Nordic place without an open world. However, you could travel through that any time, so the action is not limited to closed spaces.
    The new axe mechanics are impressive. They provided us with new ways of killing enemies in combat - you can throw an axe and destroy anyone from a distance, or smash skulls of the enemies at hand with one hit. The Leviathan Axe, furthermore, helps to open new places, solve puzzles, etc. I realize that the developers worked hard to create them. There is a tree of new skills for your axe, shield and other gear. So, you gain experience and spend it on improving the power of Kratos and his son. Afterwards, you have a mighty team to kill anybody in a brutal nice-looking way with your axe, shield and bow.
    The game’s beautiful music helps tough Kratos to look more brutal. The Music and the sound design in the game create a deep and atmospheric. They submerge you into the Scandinavian entertainment.
    In addition to skills, Kratos and his son Atreus have various equipment that you can enhance. Also, you can find some new armour, spend coins on new gear and improve the one you already have.
    But it doesn’t help that much. The armour and equipment at the beginning of the game and the end are the same, except for the enhanced parameters, and they’re useless against simple enemies and even the bosses. It’s not like in the third Witcher where you get the best armour or a sword that makes the character a mighty machine. There you understand that you didn’t waste your time to gain the coins to improve your rags. But in the God of War, the equipment is simply stylistic.
    The similar situation with the enemies. Neither do they look different during the game. They just change the colour and aura. They even look similar in different worlds. I agree that there are a few different worlds where you travel through portals. The environment there doesn’t look similar, except for the rival creatures and bosses.
    Oh yeah, the bosses. I think the bosses are one of the biggest cons of the game. In previous games of this franchise, Kratos cut off the heads of the Olympic Gods. Every level ended with a fight with a new boss. It doesn’t matter who it was. It looked exciting and brutal, what you can’t say about the bosses of the new game. There is only one god whom you can’t kill during the game, who you fight against two or three times. Also, one kind of bosses is trolls; and they are everywhere, just coloured differently and that’s all. It’s a pity that you can’t see a variety of enemies in this big Sony’s exclusive and in the sequel of such a famous game.
    A similar creature is not the only sin of this game. The plot is based on travelling. Similar, concepts you could see in The Last of Us, where Ellie and Joel have a trip with some goal. And Kratos with his son has to travel for a reason. Don’t you see the similarity? Yes, in my opinion, the authors copied the basics of the game and didn’t cover their tracks. With sadness, I admit that the copy is worse than the original. Because even formation of the relationship between the father and the son is insincere, unrealistic. You can’t believe in the play of the boy. But don’t focus on it; it’s not the best plot and not the best game in the world. However, you will remember the brilliant phrase: «Feed us, Boy! » for a long time. When you begin playing the game, you will understand why I mentioned it.
    Eventually, the Santa Monica Studio made a great work, but I know they can do better. I hope they’ll make a better sequel with more variety of enemies, and the plot won’t be boring I give 8 points to the game. And I wish Sony didn’t spend so much money on advertising. It would better if they used it to increase the quality of their games.

    All of the negative reviews must be from xbox fanboys. This is close to perfect as a game can get, I playinume ditto and it took about 30 hours to do that, and it never felt like a chore. The story if perfect, the animation is perfect, the fighting is incredible, the characters are believable, definitely one of the best 3 games on ps4

    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.
