    As a die-hard fan of the series, the game completely blew my mind. It was a magical experience. Everything's blended so perfectly, that you know this is how it feels to play a masterpiece.

    Un juego simple y sencillamente hermoso, que atrapa y entretiene. Se agradece a Santa Monica que le estén dando soporte al juego constantemente para mejorar la experiencia de juego. En un principio tuve dudas de la nueva aventura de Kratos en territorio Nórdico pero, le vino muy bien este cambio. Simplemente el juego del año 2018.

    Beautiful, breathtaking, and intriguing, God of War not only succeeds at telling a fantastic father and son bonding story, but also reinvigorates a dying franchise with one of, if not the best PS4 exclusive game yet.

It is clear    Beautiful, breathtaking, and intriguing, God of War not only succeeds at telling a fantastic father and son bonding story, but also reinvigorates a dying franchise with one of, if not the best PS4 exclusive game yet.

    God of War is an amazing experience, the brilliant choice of having the game framed in one continuous shot keeps the player firmly entrenched in the narrative. It is clear that this game is not only a labor of love, but also a masterpiece of game design and story. I have trouble thinking of a game that has impacted me as hard as this one. The game is very packed full of content, but not so much that it overstays its welcome. It doesn't fall into the trap of other open world games where the world is so big that the player is fatigued before they have a chance to even experience it all once.

    From the very beginning, the game hits you with the emotional weight of its story and characters, and the music, cinematography, animation, and voice acting are some of the best gaming has ever had. Kratos is back to being an icon, a symbol even of what story driven single player games have to offer. Imitators are sure to follow, but I doubt many of them will reach the soaring heights of this game. Combat feels incredible, the graphics are spectacular, the characters are deep and enjoyable, and the game is filled to the brim with beautiful lore, and that is why this game is a 10/10, a masterpiece, and will likely be remembered as one of the stand out games of this generation.    … Expand

    What should I say? Loved the other GOW Games and love this one as well. Don't understand the complains about the camera, especially when the Reviewers give the game 0 points, you are just haters, go outside and climb trees or something. The relationship to Atreus and a more calm Kratos give the game a very nice new touch and it totally fits IMO.

I was told about the initial scores so I knew that this game was already liked before getting the chance to play it, as i'm a big fan of the previous games in the series. After a good week of playing time, I feel like the changing of the direction was necessary in order to bring the game into the current generation. Games in general feel more mature, fleshed out and serious which have never been God of War's forte. Sony have worked wonders by giving the game meaning and I presume have taken a massive gamble by trying to update the series. The trademark gore and action remains, but the combat has been revamped from a pure hack and slash to bring weighty mechanics behind it, along with strategy. It feels more like Batman Arkham asylum in fighting style terms, with each axe swing noticeably causing damage a slight wince as you cut holes into your foes. The graphics are absolutely astounding, I am playing on my PS4 PRO on a 4k TV with HDR settings on and I can safely say this is easily the best looking game I own at the moment, or probably have seen. The 'one shot' camera feels brilliant with constant views of what's going on to the point where you don't know the cut scenes have started in some places! The only niggle with this is during fight scenes enemies can be off screen and you need to manually adjust the view. I feel this is a genuine game of the year contender and I am hoping I don't finish it soon, as I am enjoying it so much.… Expand

As an avid gamer, i would rate it 11/10. This game exceeds every & all expectations & blows every other competitor out of the water, the action & bloodshed is so freaking gruesome & satisfying that on it's own it could make this game the best out there. On top of it the graphics are jaw dropping, this is truly the perfect game.

    Uncharted 4 & last of us were my favourite Exclusives yet but no one even comes close to this MASTERPIECE, the team behind the game has brought the franchise from the depths of death to an immortal place among the gaming world.

    Now the only question is how do you out do this????
    And If you haven't bought the game yet, don't call yourself a gamer, just burn your PS & switch to X Box bcz you're an absolute utter idiot who doesn't deserve it.    … Expand

    Cámara: Esta muy cerca del hombro de kratos, y no te da el tiempo a reaccionar a ataques por la espalda, eso es un punto en contra, respecto a los movimientos es bastante lenta para reaccionar.

    There is a lot one could say about the God of War series. From the prior games, it is easy to say that the driving force behind the series has been the engaging and unique story. In games 1-3 (+acension) it is generally similar fighting styles with a hack and slash type feeling with some fun combos and quite obviously the boss fights that make the player feel like a god slaying badass. ButThere is a lot one could say about the God of War series. From the prior games, it is easy to say that the driving force behind the series has been the engaging and unique story. In games 1-3 (+acension) it is generally similar fighting styles with a hack and slash type feeling with some fun combos and quite obviously the boss fights that make the player feel like a god slaying badass. But what makes this game so special is the fact that they took all the good parts of the game and made those better whilst at the same time completely revamping everything else in the process. The combat feels much more meaningful. Each enemy poses their own unique threat and they don't feel like cannon fodder into the super god slaying Beyblade that was Kratos in the previous titles. You aren't going to run into one hit enemies. You are going to need to use everything at your disposal in a majority of your battles. There is an engaging environment and it really does a good job of showing what the ps4 is capable of as well as how much the reworked engine has improved the game in general (HOLY CRAP THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL). The boss fights in the game are just as fun as the ones in previous titles if not more. No spoilers but some bosses will make you want to kill them in real life as much as you do in the game. I could go on and on but at the end of the day you need to try it yourself. I have always been an xbox player. But lately ps4 exclusives have been stealing the show and the release of this game was the selling point for me. I have now switched to a ps4 pro and have been playing many of the ps4 exclusives and atleast in this console generation. Ps4 takes the cake especially when it comes to story driven single player games that make you immersed. Very rarely do I want to replay a single player game after I beat it. I usually rent solo games from Redbox as I don't see the replay value. However, 15 minutes into the game after I rented it I bought the thing back and I bought it for full price. Because the environment alone had me sold. Character development, combat, environment, graphics, all other aspects of the game are all just top notch. This game is worth it to anyone even if you haven't played the previous games. Just watch a 20 minutes story catch up video on youtube and you'll get the jist. This game is beyond worth the money and I am now playing through the game again on God of War difficulty in pursuit of a 100% completion. The best thing about it. Doesn't feel like a grind in the slightest. I am loving every second of this jaw-dropping title.… Expand

But other than that, this was an amazing experience and i liked so much. Story was entertaining, the Gameplay was really smooth. despite the fact this game is really beautful and heavy on graphics, there where no lags ir anything so the optimization was exellent. Overall a great game but it's wasn't perfect, Hope next time they just increase the enemy varity and Please add more Epic boss battle because there were just a few in this game,
    (All Baldur Fights - The Dragon Fight) were the only interesting fights so i hope they increase that.

It takes into consideration what made the first games good and pretty cool, but it isn't afraid to change some of the core characteristics in the original games in order to make a the game better BUT DIFFERENT from the the original hack n' slash god of war. God of War is an open world RPG which dashes of hack n' slash with some repetitive enemies and bosses, but it greatly compensates some of its flaws with the story and gameplay. To summarize I believe God of War is a great game, but it isn't a great hack n' slash game, so if you are a long time fan of the series this may not be your cup of tea, but for a new player that likes the brutal combat style of kratos and an interesting story this game is almost perfect. Corey Davis definitely nailed his vision of the game, if that is a good or bad thing it depends on your tastes, but it definitely is a contender for best game of the year (with half the year still to come for new titles).… Expand

    In the negative reviews I read a lot of comments like "God of War become Last of Us" or "It's nothing like the original God of War Trilogy, that had a great story and great gameplay". I get really tired of scores based on previous games and player's expectations. Someone even made the comment "In 2018, the lack of an open world equals a not good game".

I get really tired of scores based on previous games and player's expectations. Someone even made the comment "In 2018, the lack of an open world equals a not good game". Games should be objectively scored on their own merits, people should try to look past their own preferences and try to be as unbiased and objective as they can be. The lack of open world might turn some people off, but that doesn't make this semi-linear game bad. There's loads of games that I don't like because it's not my style of game, like [insert random 1st person shooter or racing game here]. But I can still look at it objectively and tell if the game deserves a high score because it's executed well.

    God of war has evolved. It is no longer the raw, blood-thirsty hack 'n slash that I fell in love with years ago. This new God of war though, I fell in love with this one all over again. Sure, the game has it's negatives. The mobs and mini-bosses could have been more varied. The "no camera-cuts" is cool but that also means that there's more backtracking. Personally I also miss the bloodiness, gore and nakedness of the old games, but I'm not taking that in to account in my score, because this is a new game and should not be scored lower because of the previous God of war trilogy. The graphics, even on the standard PS4's 1080p, are truly amazing. The fluidity of the combat is very good, and the axe throwing mechanic is very well done. Don't be fooled by people who claim that the game can easily be finished by hiding behind a shield and throwing your axe, those people obviously didn't try any higher than the lowest difficulty setting. The voice acting is very on-point, and the story is just beautiful.

    To round it out, from both a technical and an artistic standpoint this game surpasses so many others. You can tell that the people at Santa Monica Studios really poured their heart and soul in to making a fantastic, single player, story driven experience. If you just finished reading this comment thinking this might be a game for you, then I do strongly recommend you rent/buy this game. It's a future classic.    … Expand

The Last of Us' influcence can't be overstated here for this game. You play as Kratos who's thrown aside his old ways and has traveled to the land of the Norse gods to start anew. You then set out on a journey of discovery with his son Atreus, who is a very well done and developed character in his own right. The story is amazing considering what Kratos used to be. His character development here is astounding and, for the first time ever playing these games, I really truly cared about him as the lead, instead of just being along for the ride of the first 3 games. And the story can be VERY long if you do all the amazing side quests that come with the game, which you definitely should. Upwards of 40-50 hours, depending on how quickly you move through the quests. It's a very good ride from start to finish and something I can't recommend enough.
    The combat has been changed entirely as well. No longer a top down, beat-em-up style arcade game, this game has lots of depth to it. While the game's pacing at the beginning slows down everything you can eventually do, making the first few hours fairly difficult for new players, by the end of the game, you'll be smashing heads with the best of them. I'd say the only issue would be that gaining XP is very simple in the game and you'll have access to most of the talents fairly early on if you do all the side quests. It's very fun once you get the hang of it and I had a very good time with it.
    I truly never thought I'd see the day when a God of War game would become one of my favorite games of a generation but it's here. I'd say this has cemented itself as a top 5 game for the system and it'll be very tough for anything to top it. If you've got a PS4, go buy this game as soon as you can. I can't say enough good things about it and I really hope that the developers run with this for the eventual next part of the series.    … Expand

As a PlayStation exclusive, chances might be that you’ve come across some of the older gems in the series...but a lot of it is covered in the game. I’ve had the game since Friday and just wish I had more time to play it.

    I’m probably about 80% through the main campaign but have decided to explore a bit as I picked up a few extra skills along the way.

    As an owner of Sony’s last epic game, Horizon Dawn, this game feels miles apart. It just feels more accessible, more visceral and exploring never gets old. From the lore, to the relationship between father (Kratos) and son (Atreus), to the fighting and puzzles, it just never gets old.

    This game sets the bar for a beautiful story, amazing graphics and edge of your seat battles...everything about this just grips you from start to finish, so do me a favour, strap yourself in, put your arms up, smile for the photo and just enjoy the ride!

    Anyone who tries to say the camera doesn't work just doesn't understand something or simply hasn't played to any extent. If you're worried about dying from behind, don't be. I have beaten the game and lots of side content on give me GOW and almost never die from behind because only a simple understanding of the enemy allows you to dodge attacks from all angles from feel alone even without UI if you like, The close up camera makes the combat very strategic and forces you to keep moving, in a good way.
    Enemies feel great in this game. I've had so much fun learning all the actions of the enemies and it has had real affects on my game play. The game gives you so much room to master and feel like you've conquered stuff. Boss fights are not repetitive and anyone who says this didn't play the game. Yes there is lots of trolls, but they all have some twist to them and you even fight 2 at once which was one of the best fights. All the other bosses are amazing and like the enemies leave tons of room to learn and conquer.
    The world is absolutely amazing. Backtracking never feels like a chore because there's always some new sight to see or thing to collect for a long time.
    The crafting, runic attacks, enchantments and all that are not super deep but just enough to allow you to make real builds and use different tools for different encounters. Endgame realms have to you doing challenges and traversing a maze so you will need to switch things up and swap certain items. Sure it's not the best crafting and armor system by any means but if embraced adds the perfect little layer of creativity to your kratos that goes a long way.
    A lot of the negative reviews are blatant attempts of slander with many people making it painfully obvious they didn't play much if at all.

    Best hack and slash I've ever played in my life, not the best, but one of the best games I've ever played. First, i want to say disregard anyone on here that gives this game lower than an 8, there either like one out of 100 people that didn't enjoy this game, or one of those crazy people who complain when things stay the same and then **** when things change. God of war is a must buy fromBest hack and slash I've ever played in my life, not the best, but one of the best games I've ever played. First, i want to say disregard anyone on here that gives this game lower than an 8, there either like one out of 100 people that didn't enjoy this game, or one of those crazy people who complain when things stay the same and then **** when things change. God of war is a must buy from me. It brings in a new element of kratos that was surprisingly needed, and that was emotion and attachment. This game is all about the journey between kratos and his son. The combat is new and refreshing, but it doesn't abandon fans of the series, as the more you unlock, the more nostalgia there is. The main missions consist of combat, light puzzle solving, and traversal. It blends each and everyone one of those elements together perfectly. The lore of the norse mythology is interesting, and i know nothing of it coming in. The story kept me on my feet, and the more lore I got from exploring, the more interested I became of the story. I also LOVED the "metroidvania" elements of this game, perhaps the best one I've seen in an AAA game? All the chests that requires looking for symbols were diverse and fun as heck to solve. I must've loot every little thing there was, and none of them felt like a waste of time. Speaking of which there are rpg elements in this game, it's light, but i felt like it was a welcome addition to game (armor, perks, enchantments, stats, etc). in addition to rpg elements, there is an small open world to explore, it's no gta, but the islands in midgard are all very diverse and interesting, quality over quantity. Side quests are also of the quality over quantity scale in this game, treasures to look for, dragons to free, realms to close, everything about this game was just grand in quality. The characters in this game were all amazing, amazing graphics, fun combat, fun exploring, I can't stop gushing about this game. Again, disregard anyone who says this isn't god of war, the highs in this game are one of the highest there is in gaming as per usual in any gow game. i got at least 25-35 hours in one playthrough with decent side activity, and I'm going back in to do more. Thank you, Sony Santa Monica studios!… Expand

    God of War has blown me away! In my opinion, God of War should set a new gold-standard for what a next-gen AAA game should be. By far, the best game I have played in decades of playing games! GOW is epic!

    Game has stunning visuals. I just finished the main story. I had fun playing it and I am going to do all the side quests. I really recommend buying the game on PS 4 if you own it. It is fun great combat system and progression system. I do not want to give any spoilers I can only describe this game in two words a master piece.

    worth every cent, no finals on dlc, no season pass, no micro&lootboxes abuses. Solid game awesome graphics, gameplay,history,music. Ofc isnt a perfect game but clearly made it with love from players to players. We need to support this kind of games to show companies how to make games and not only focus on $

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O. M. G. I wanted to hate this game, I wanted to give it a bad review, because I like and adore the old games. I'm the opposite of current gaming trends. I hate multi player with no single player campaign, I hate open world and I hate high difficulty. I get impatient with games very easily, hence the no open world and high difficulty. Especially the difficulty, I'll never understand why dying over and over is fun to people. In a game I like to feel powerful and high difficulty is the opposite of that. Life itself is hard and makes you powerless so why would I want that in a video game? Despite modern popular opinion, I love hack and slash and button mashers. The old GOW games were everything I love about games and the new GOW should have been everything I hate.

    Do I hate it? No, I love it. Somehow they have done the impossible and glued me to video game traits I hate. Every time I think the game is boring something blows my mind. Every time I think the game is too difficult because I died it only takes me one more try to defeat the enemy. They have struck almost a perfect balance with the difficulty. These things keep happening over and over and I am physically unable to stop playing. During my most recent play through I felt again like I was going to waver away from the game but the ultimate jaw drop happened. They introduced my beloved Blades Of Chaos into the game. That's right the very same beloved weapon of the rest of the series. This comes out of nowhere and you are not expecting it because through the first half of the game they have you convinced that you really do only have your bare hands, ax and shield as weapons. I nearly cried from surprise and excitement. This single surprise is what has sparked me to write a review. I almost never write reviews but when those blades entered the game I felt like i had to shout from mountain tops. Of course everyone knows the graphics and visuals are spectacular as well.

    In conclusion I feel sad for the trolls/fanboys that have not played it and are giving it low scores. They are not succeeding in making the game look bad, they are only making themselves look bad. More importantly, they are depriving themselves of experiencing this.    … Expand

Sin embargo no por ello dejo de ser critico con los desarrolladores en cuanto a determinadas decisiones que han tomado a lo largo de la serie.. Ciertamente God of War presentaba un desgaste en algunos aspectos como la jugabilidad y una historia forzada (Caso Ascensión) , que insinuó el fin del ciclo de Kratos.
    Sin embargo este reinicio con Cory Barlog liderando la reinvención del juego, ha tomado un giro más adulto y amplio, al incorporar nuevos elementos y géneros de videojuegos, sin perder su esencia fundamental. Gráficos muy bien elaborados (con pocas excepciones), una historia que genera expectativas de continuidad , sistema de combate renovado y un poco mas estratégico, elementos novedosos de rol a la medida que aportan profundidad, nuevo posicionamiento de cámara mas cercano y personal, gran variedad de herramientas y menús de opciones y momentos cargados de suspenso y acción épica.

    Definitivamente, ningún juego es perfecto, todos tienen errores y la evolución es inminente e
    impostergable. Pero las valoraciones que se le otorgan a uno y a otro dependerá en gran medida de elementos subjetivos, como las preferencias y gustos de cada analista, pero de mi parte prefiero valorar la intención de los desarrolladores y el resultado final que está a la vista. Contando para ello con un criterio buen formado y decente , en lugar de emitir juicios destructivos, groseros e infantiles que poco sentido tienen y carecen de contenido de valor,

    En fin, una experiencia que valió la pena la espera y espero continué para mejor.

    Lo mas resaltante:
    *Modo Realista Mitológico
    *La Reinvención de las mecánicas de jugabilidad.
    *La combinación inteligente de diferentes géneros de juego (Acción, Aventura, Rol, Drama)
    *Estilo Cinematográfico que embelese la producción.
    Aspectos a mejorar:
    *Mayor variedad de modelos de enemigos.
    *Finalizaciones en los combates.
    *Darle mayor utilidad a todas las herramientas y opciones disponibles.    … Expand

    This game is outstanding. Brutality now shines brighter than ever on the contrast of the Kratos being concern about Atreus and become more complex character instead of a maniac-psycho-warrior. The graphics are mind-blowing, fighting system is very satisfying and sounds are so deep and clear.
    The story itself is excellent: a great journey with great characters, voice acting.

    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]
