    A truly special game, expertly crafted from top to bottom. I can't express just how good this game is, I've just finished it and I loved every minute of it. I almost never rate games 10/10 but God of War absolutely deserves the highest honours. Everything is just done to the highest possible standard, which results in an incredible game that everyone should play.

    I love the reinvention of this game, I wasn't entirely a big fan of the original series but i love this new concept and direction, the heavily influenced story telling combined with the gameplay and the combat that is expected from the series is nothing short of amazing, it's transitions very seamlessly between gameplay and cinematic that makes the entire experience very immersive.

    It features a weapon upgrade system to give progression and targets, the voice acting (chris judge from stargate sg1 is amazing), everything about the game just works.
    This time last year Horizon Zero Dawn was my game of 2017, God of War is my game of 2018!

    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

Además, con respecto a las mejoras en el juego van desde que el jugador tiene el control de la cámara, los orbes rojos se reemplazaron por el equipo que puede incrementar los aspectos del personaje. El menú de desarrollo es sofisticado, pero se entiende con el tiempo. El salto se cambió también. Al terminar el juego se desbloquea la mayor dificultad, como siempre, donde Kratos es más débil y los enemigos cambian su patrón de ataque. En la trama, Kratos es un cuarentón que como veterano de una guerra carga con su dolor y tiene que cuidar a su hijo. Al fin ya no es solo presionar botones.

    El combate es más actualizado con respecto a juegos de los últimos cinco años, lo cual me parece que es un acierto. Ahora se puede ver la barra de vida de los enemigos. El hijo de Kratos es un apoyo como muchos ya saben. Hay misiones secundarias, etc. El juego es recomendable.

    In English

    The game of GOD OF WAR in broad strokes is fine, they present a balanced story, although there are moments when it seems that it loses coherence. In addition, with respect to improvements in the game ranging from the player having control of the camera, the red orbs were replaced by the team that can increase the aspects of the character. The development menu is sophisticated, but it is understood over time. The jump was also changed. At the end of the game the biggest difficulty is unlocked, as always, where Kratos is weaker and the enemies change their attack pattern. In the plot, Kratos is a forty-year-old who, as a veteran of a war, carries his pain and has to take care of his son. In the end, it is no longer just pressing buttons.

    The combat is more updated with respect to games of the last five years, which I think is a success. Now you can see the life bar of the enemies. The son of Kratos is a support as many already know. There are secondary missions, etc. The game is recommended.

    Kratos is back and he has mellowed the hell out. God of War is what the game industry should take note of when they have a franchise that is stale.

God of War is what the game industry should take note of when they have a franchise that is stale. Resident Evil 7 did it and now God of War reboot the gameplay while keeping it a sequel in the franchise. God of War revamps the gameplay from hack and slash dodging with timing puzzle that were controller breaking levels of frustration, to a slower pace more cinematic experience. The game is less like Devil May Cry and more like The Witcher 3 in how the combat is concerned. The game also basically eliminates the quick time events and insteads will just show you Kratos doing his brutal finishers which is nice. In previous games I was so much more concerned with hitting the right button I would miss out on some gorey goodness. That being said the game is significantly less gore filled than any of the other games. Which is bad and good at the same time. It removes the less campy feel of the series to bring a more serious tone to it. The scale of enemies however is vastly greater in the installment. I think it is because the camera is directly behind the character instead of a more isometric camera angle. So when you face a large enemy you will immediately notice the scale of them. The story is without a doubt the best the series has ever been. The story focuses on Kratos and his son Atreus going to the tallest mountain to release his wife's ashes. A simple quest turns into a daring one because they are being hunted by the Norse Gods themselves for reasons that are unknown to Kratos. This story is fantastic because it humanizes Kratos like we have never seen. Unlike the murder crazed loon we are used to Kratos is a stoic man who is only trying to teach his son how to survive and to avoid the mistakes that Kratos himself has made in the past. Now the most controversial character is Atreus because he is a child he will get on peoples nerves which is entirely understandable. He is has a point in the story the kid is unbearable, but that is apart of the story and there is a reason why. The game has a vast variety of likeable and deep characters you never expect to see in a God of War game.
    Overall I loved this game more than any other in the God of War series. (Which is saying a lot being I am a huge fan) The gameplay is revamped in the best way possible. The story is deep and engaging, and of course the game is beautiful to look at. I can't get enough of this game I want to forget about it so I can replay it again. Very few games are perfect, but God of War is one of these masterpieces that should not be missed. I of course give it a 10/10.

This game from the beginning had my interest over previous God of War games as it focuses more on telling an emotional story between Kratos and his son Atreus. It deals with Norse mythology, a first for the series, and thus provides new opportunities for locations and new Gods to face. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic and will have you addicted from the moment you begin playing. Kratos' new weapon of choice, the Leviathan Axe, is super satisfying to use and callback. The game also continues the franchise's tradition of epic large scaled boss battles that provide some of the most jaw dropping and memorable moments in the game. The graphics are some of, if not the best the PS4 has to offer up to this point. The original soundtrack is both emotional and beautiful when it needs to be and epic when in intense combat. And the overall presentation is unlike any other game. God of War never cuts throughout the entire main story. One long camera take captures the entire experience seamlessly, including both gameplay segments and cinematics. This means no time passes, which really helps to immerse the player with the characters as you follow them along the entire journey. And even after the main story is completed, there are still plenty of side objectives to complete and other locations to explore. The game isn't open world, but its wide linear structure still provides plenty of extra exploration. God of War is one of the best PS4 games and is a must own for any PS4 owner. Expand

    Just played the first four hours of the game at midnight launch and need to put myself to bed because it is 435am.. The axe throwing animation might be the greatest gameplay mechanic ever placed in a game and makes the combat feel fluid and dynamic.

    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.

    God of War is back and it is everything expected and more. In this entry the story is handled with the use of emotion and conflict, prioritising the use of expression and body language, over the use of conversation.

The gameplay is the biggest change since the last games, donning a single shot camera, from a view in which we observe everything from an 'over the shoulder' view. The combat is fluid and fun, although if you allow yourself to become surrounded, a winning battle might turn very quickly. A suprise for me on this game is its difficulty. Enemies will flank, team up, charge at you, launch projectiles, and pretty much do anything to bring down Kratos, and it is more so than ever, important to consider your approach during and before battle. The enemies in this installment are crafted incredibly well, making the use of mythological accounts and modern textures to create new abominations during your journey. The enemies feel smart, refined and ghoulish enough to make the player pay attention to every little detail on their model. The gore has been toned down from the last games, although due to the new attitude of this game it is not missed, although toned down, the violence does still exist in the heart of God of War. This is a fantastic new entry and truly is one of the better games of this generation. Expand

In many cases, from level design and exploration to upgrading your character, it plays and feels a lot like the adventure games we used to play on older consoles like the n64 or ps2 with the only difference that it looks incredible.

    Its the most well executed, most beautifull game that ps4 can deliver, its even overall the best game: acting, the rewarding system, smooth and very enjoyable gameplay. No words for the story, its just so, italian kiss in the air. best from the best.

    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,

    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".
    If you have a PS4, you must try this game

    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!

    A masterpiece, i've been playing since yesterday as i've got my hands on a copy earlier, and after around 10 hours of gameplay i can safely say that this game is already a GOTY for me. Beautiful story, beautiful soundtrack, beautiful graphics, beautiful effects, fun and challenging combat. This game sets a new higher bar for all other games and it will surely be hard to beat by upcoming titles.

This game is incredible, the history involves me, Started playing at 00:00 on 20 April and finish on sunday to monday at 3am. I need more than 40 hours to finish the game. Incredible, IMPECCABLE.

    This is God of War re-imagined... and they did it right. It was risky, but the pulled it off. I think there is a very steep learning curve. It was almost intimidating, but when you build up the Leviathan and start executing "true" combos, there is no game out there like it. Who knows, maybe it'll be a perfect "10" right up there with TLoU by the time I'm done with it.

    I didnt give this game a ten because I believe that there are a few minor issues. I wish I could score 9.5 but I cant.

    Issues: - enemy targetting can be a bit wonky - tutorial gives you button instructions after the fact when you already needed them, but you can also view the button config a ahead of time - I am playing on hard, but the first enemies killed me in like three hits

    Gran cambio y frescura a Kratos, los graficos son de locos y el gameplay es mucho mas desafiante. Extraño un poco las partes estilo plataformas ya que ahora parece un poco al Resident Evil al momento de tener que saltar o moverte entre estructuras, pero se le aprecia un monton el gran cambio y riesgo que tomo Santa Monica Studios.

    You can feel the influence of various games, the relationship with the son reminds TLOUS, the puzzles and the climbs and jumps, recalls Uncharted and Tomb Raider, some parts of the fights resemble the Souls series (until the producer assumed that it was inspired by them), who played Bloodborne knows of the elusive attacks and attacks. The bestiary part is very reminiscent of The Witcher 3 and Horizon, even in the customization part of the menu.

    The game can only be GOTY, elevated the video games to another level.

    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]
