    Got to say, when Santa Monica / Sony first teased god of war reboot, I was literally stunned and was abusing them for the change that they have made. Being a God Of war fan right from the beginning, and indeed it was my first game on PS3, I wanted it to follow the same old locked camera tradition. Where kratos is always in action with brutality with his axe and swords. I was disappointed with santa Monica's thought to change it from greek inspired game to Norse-inspired game! But as the time passed by, they launched few more in-game gameplay. After witnessing and analysing those gameplay, I learnt that what exactly the devs are trying to do and how sure Santa Monica and sony is about the reboot version of the game. I ended up pre ordering collector's edition. But today, when I got my hands on it and explored the game to some extent, I admit this is the game that I always dreamt about. This is the game I believe set a new benchmark in the history of gaming entertainment. This is the game of my dreams it's beautiful, brutal and badass. The presentation of the game is so good...that the players will feel that they are living the game. It feels as if we are watching some live action movie. The combat style and system seems to be amazingly well designed. Puzzle also keeps you busy ( only done 1-2 for now ) over all it also test your presence of mind.
    So far from what I have played, it seems to be deep understanding and bonding between father and son.
    Apart from this, the whole new world and the design of combat system is impressive.
    I personally want to thank Cory Barlog for creating and shaping such a masterpiece game. His name in the history of gaming and entertainment industry will remain immortal. (Masterpiece!)    … Expand

    I want to tell you that I bought the playstation 4 in December of 2017 just to do the pre-purchase of the GOW, I was always a great hater of the consoles and a great admirer of the PC but honestly this game I fell in love in its entirety, it is extremely polished, the lore, the history in general, the graphics .. 10/10

It's also the most graphically impressive game ever made, and arguably one of the best looking games artistically as well.Incredible game. Must play. Worth buying a PS4 for.

    I spent about 35 hours to complete the main story and maybe half the side quests. I started the game on hard mode and quickly switched it to normal after dying a dozen times to the 3rd encounter. Normal was almost too easy until I decided to stop caring about what to equip and just started playing the game.

    I'm an older gamer, so this next bit is a biased opinion I have over a lot of games. The thing I disliked the most about the game was the different equipment slots and all the perks and stats. I feel like the devs went with a "quantity over quality" approach with this system. I probably wasted at least 2 hours of game time screwing around with this system until I decided to forget it all together. The game became much more enjoyable once I no longer cared what Kratos and "boy" was wearing and all the stuff he was picking up.

    Last thing I will bash is the inability to skip cut scenes. Seriously, the story isn't that good and I just wanted to get to bashing peoples skulls in. However, you can treat them like loading screens to get up and walk around like you would with a game for traditional loading screens.

    This game is awesome. I don't think it's as awesome as people say it is, but it is close.    … Expand

The kid is a normal smart mouthed kid with a personality and Kratos is dry as dry gets and the the dynamic between the two had me laughing on the regular. This game is so well done. I don't have a single complaint or even any constructive criticism. This is a perfect game and I can't wait for the next one.

    I've never played a God of War game before, I've heard of it but having spent most of my time on the Xbox 360 it was never a game I looked at too closely. Times change though and I now play on both consoles which meant the latest God of War caught my attention.

Times change though and I now play on both consoles which meant the latest God of War caught my attention. I found myself researching the past games and instantly knew that this would be right up my street. God of War was hyped up to astronomical levels and the question became, could it live up to that hype.

    Long story short yes it most certainly has lived up to the hype. Visually the game looks stunning on both versions of the PS4 consoles and aside from the odd dropped frame here and there, offers a smooth playing experience. The game world is so detailed and simply beautiful. some areas where there is a lot of colour took my breath away as HDR blasted the scenes into my eyeballs. These areas really take your breath away and you find yourself just looking around soaking up the beauty.

    The game is set in Midgard and you find yourself thrown into Norse mythology and once again the developers have really nailed the feel. You aren't alone in your travels this time round and are accompanied by Kratos' son Atreus. Normally AI sidekicks tend to be a pain in the arse but they really nailed the implementation here. Never does your "Boy" feel unhelpful or get in the way and he instead can prove to be very helpful and breaks the quieter sections up nicely with the dialogue.

    I shan't go too much into the the story because of spoilers but It is honestly one of the best stories I've been able to enjoy in a game in recent years. Well written and fully engrossing i found myself captured by it and like a good book that's hard to put down I've found i have to force myself to stop playing when real life demands my attention.

    All this positivity means nothing if the gameplay sucks but I'm happy to report that once again the developer have hit the nail on the head (presumably with Thors Hammer). Things start off typically enough but soon you are thrust into one of the most epic opening fights that will be remembered for years to come. Combat feels awesome with each hit feeling as if it has real weight behind it and different enemies requiring slightly differing tactics. It really is one of the most satisfying things when you land those swings of the axe. The new camera works a treat and throws you into the action, anyone who had concerns should rest easy because it just works.

    The seamless transitions from gameplay to cut scene helps keep immersion and this is yet another example of just how good Chequer-boarding is to get those lush crisp visuals. It's obvious from start to finish that a lot of hard work, care and attention has gone into God of War and it's paid off big time. God of War is going to be one of the titles that define this generation and it's certainly the best we've seen so far. Normally my GOTY is a struggle between a few titles but i think this is a dead cert with only Red Dead Redemption 2 likely to offer any kind of competition.    … Expand

    Both make a fantastic contrast, being the BOY, Atreus more talkative and sociable and Kratos a rude and quiet man who tries not to get into trouble.

    Also, there is more side content that allows backtraking and secret areas to explore.
    - Graphically is top edge, a little bit inferior to Horizon ZD maybe, but the use of lighting and color and the folkrore itself makes the game graphically and artistically stunning.

    - Combat is at first a bit basic, but it evolves alongside the player evolves, making a good progresion system based on gear. That at first may look bland and forced, but the more you play the more it works, offering stunning good looking armours and weapon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly let me just say, truly amazing game the graphics are astounding with only a few muddy bits here and there but they're patching it, ps4 pro is a must with this, the combat is less wildly swinging and more calculated and intelligent with it's share of crazy moments.

    The rpg elements are a great balance and the feel of The last of us with the kid following you on this journey is a welcome change to give this series a new breath of fresh air so it doesn't end up stagnating in it's past (Which was good but games need to evolve too)
    The AI on the child is smart and rarely gets in your way or is seen standing around doing nothing, the story-telling and dialogue during the journey is fantastic.

    It is true the enemies are less giant than what they use to be however I bet this is the first of this Nordic journey so give it time and it'll pick up, I bet the kid will become a lot more stronger and kratos will slowly get his drive for violence back and the enemies become giant once more.

    Now! For those voting this game a 0 - 4 out of 10 please remove yourself from the website, I have read the reviews and if Metacritic had a pulse on this site please admins remove them, they are not even helpful and they lack intelligent reason for the score other than they expected it to be like the previous games, you must understand that this is a new game and this looks to be the beginning of their journey which means simply rating it a 0 is Beyond dishonest!

    Shame on everyone that reviewed this a 0 - 4 without even playing this first or even giving it a chance, So many of us love it and welcome the return on this amazing series and it is only beginning so give it time and I bet we will see the kratos we remember while seeing the child grow up to be lethal as well, it does miss out on that final point mainly because some enemies have a ridiculous split second tracking making that tiny second early dodge nets you a direct hit and some times the camera feels as if I'm locked onto an enemy while not actually being locked on but other then that like I said they are fixing bugs and these problems so far that I have had seem to be tiny in comparison to other games so the point taken off doesn't detract from the games amazing new story.

    Some people cannot be won over no matter what and judging from the comments on the 325 reviews voting it negatively so far this game is better off for it because these changes would give us a god of war 4 and not the new god of war we have and frankly if I wanted to play a game that had a crazy chain-blade swinging Kratos I'd replay the old ones, honestly games much like music have to develop a game with how the market is going in mind and what the market will be like in however many years they estimate they will be able to get the games out, many games are moving away from old formulas and the ones that are suffering, a few games come to mind but find my full review on my page and my channel because there I don't have restriction on what I am allowed to write.

    The combat is weighty also, making every hit on those light and medium ones feel like you are using heavy force on them, large enemies still reel back after an axe blow at times unlike a few games I have played that are just lazy (No Monster hunter world is not one of them)

    Honestly Guys and Girls, buy this game at 60 or 100 (for AUS) and you won't be disappointed unlike Destiny 2 and FFXV (Sorry people but where I live I have seen so many returned copies of both games it even amazed me, not to mention watching the marketing on both and the schemes implemented to stretch out the play life of both is pretty transparent.

    I don't believe this will have any dlc content because I believe they'll just set it for a new console, that being the case you may see the next game on the next gen consoles in 2020 (if the estimated date is to be believed)    … Expand

    El nuevo God of War es un respiro muy necesario a la ya gastada jugabilidad de los previos 6 juegos de la saga. Sin dudas, mi hype estuvo justificado, aunque tenía mis dudas en cuanto al combate, la mejor sorpresa me la llevé en éste apartado.

    Historia (Sin spoilers)
    Un nuevo aire para la saga en general: Esta vez, Kratos no busca venganza. Ahora tiene un hijo el cual es mitad Dios y tiene que prepararlo y enseñarle todo en cuanto esté a su alcance para que Atreus, el "NIÑO", no repita sus mismos errores. Kratos podrá matar titanes mientras duerme, pero a la hora de ser padre le toca sudar la gota gorda. Recorremos el viaje de Dios e hijo por las tierras de Midgard y otros reinos nórdicos mientras nos enfrentamos a bestias míticas y divinas (aunque con menor variedad que en entregas anteriores) para llevar las cenizas de la madre de Atreo al pico mas alto de todos los reinos, en el cual descubriremos la verdad. Historia rica, con olor a nuevo, refrescante, pero sin dudas, necesaria. Su motivación principal, en si, es llevar las cenizas, pero también deja un claro hueco dónde podemos pasar explorando, cumpliendo objetivos opcionales y demás. No tiene la urgencia de un rescate, ni la necesidad de una venganza. Solo un viaje.

    Jugabilidad: Mecánicas y combate.
    Como dije antes, lo que mas me sorprendió de esta nueva entrega es el combate. Sigue siendo igual de brutal y frenético que antes, pero ahora posee un pequeño componente estratégico debido a dos principales mecánicas: El hacha leviathan y la posición de la cámara.
    Podemos lanzar el hacha y continuar golpeando a mano limpia, tranquilamente. Obviamente, Kratos no está indefenso nunca. Seguimos contando con un escudo para hacer parry o esquivar como hacíamos antes. Pero ahora podemos usar esa hacha, podemos apuntar hacia dónde queramos y podemos arrojarla y traerla de vuelta a voluntad. Hay enemigos con puntos débiles específicos y ventanas entre ataques en los cuales deberemos aprovechar para usar ésta habilidad. Y la posición de la cámara hace que tengamos que estar mas atentos a nuestro alrededor, porque, aunque no lo veas, podrías tener un enemigo a tus espaldas, y el escudo no te serviría de nada en ese caso.
    Tambien, en vez de los ataques de poder que teníamos en anteriores juegos, los cuales eran fijos. Ahora tenemos ataques rúnicos para nuestras armas, son ataques muy poderosos, los cuales se pueden cambiar cuando queramos, eso si, no podemos spammear éstos ataques ya que tienen un tiempo de recarga.
    Tambien tenemos un contenedor de Furia el cual se irá llenando al dar o recibir golpes. Y el cual podremos usar para destrozar a los enemigos y de paso, recuperar un poco de salud.
    Atreo tambien combate. Si, aunque sea un "NIÑO", atreo nos va a salvar el culo mas de una vez, usando sus flechas y sus ataques rúnicos, al cual le podremos ordenar disparar usando el botón [Cuadrado], tampoco podremos spammearlo todo el tiempo, pero aún así lo podemos usar para nuestra ventaja, siempre que queramos. Y lo mejor de todo. El niño no jode nunca y rara vez tendremos que ayudarlo (me ha pasado 2 o 3 veces en TODO el 100% del juego).
    Atreo tambien tiene la posibilidad de revivirnos al menos una vez si caemos en combate, lo cual puede pasar con enemigos poderosos, y lo cual es mas común de lo que imaginan si van a combatir con jefes opcionales.

    Todas las habilidades, tanto de Atreo con su arco como de Kratos con sus armas se pueden mejorar y subir de nivel.

    En cuanto al movimiento, podemos esprintar, ya que hay backtracking (siempre que queramos, por lo general no es obligatorio).
    Kratos ya no salta, pero todos los movimientos como saltar a una saliente, escalar y demás se pueden completar con el boton contextual: [O]. y al esquivar tendremos que usar [X] ya que con los sticks ahora debemos controlar al personaje y a la cámara.
    Tambien hay un bote, en el cual sucederan la mayor parte de las conversaciónes entre personajes.

    Exploración:
    Tenemos una gran y variada cantidad de lugares por explorar, los cuales, en su totalidad, todos poseen coleccionables valiosos, misiones secundarias, jefes opcionales, pequeños puzzles, mejoras y armaduras. Y no solo en el Reino de Midgard, pero bueno, no voy a hacer spoiler. Sin dudas es algo que se agradece, porque entre tanto combate, está bueno que haya momento para quietud, para respiros y para recompenzas. Recompenzas que valen la pena, realmente.

    Sin lugar a dudas, God of War supone un paso de titan para la franquicia, de la cual, espero podamos seguir viendo juegos con mas historias y mitologías. Sin dudas, ésto era necesario, tanto para Sony, como para nosotros. Excelente juego, excelente historia, increíble ambientación y muy divertido gameplay.

    Solo Disfruten.    … Expand

    Jack Macguffin is a prick. That's my review... on a serious note, this game has the best graphics in the GOW series, compelling characters/storyline, great gameplay mechanics, and is just an overall satisfying return to form for the franchise (the previous installments after GOW 3 are actually good too.)

    Plain and simple, God of War is one of the best games ever made. Sony Santa Monica Studio have made a game that is not only a masterpiece on its own, but also comes at a time when the video game industry seems to believe that single player games can't survive or be successful without a huge open world or tacked on multiplayer mode to sell. it doesn't have any microtransactions to bring inPlain and simple, God of War is one of the best games ever made. Sony Santa Monica Studio have made a game that is not only a masterpiece on its own, but also comes at a time when the video game industry seems to believe that single player games can't survive or be successful without a huge open world or tacked on multiplayer mode to sell. it doesn't have any microtransactions to bring in extra money either, and its all the better for it.
    Where other companies would take one look at adding a sequel to Kratos' journey and would give it a large open world filled with many icons and boring side missions that barely differ from each other, Santa Monica Studio decided to take a risk. A risk that paid off immensely as the game is not only being universally praised but also is the fastest selling playstation 4 game to date. its a love letter to gamers that enjoy a good story along with great gameplay. And God of War's gameplay is not only great, its incredible. The combat feels satisfying and rewarding all while being just as brutal as before. The progression and rpg elements may seem confusing at first, but once you understand them, they become a very fun and useful system that adds even more strategy to the already fantastic combat. I also rarely encountered any bugs or glitches throughout my near 40 hours spent in the game. The beautiful graphics look amazing and are even more impressive considering the camera never cuts, not even for a cut-scene. This makes the game feel more immersive and personal than just about any game I've ever played. It makes the action set pieces and big story moments feel even better and more powerful as well. To go along with it is the fantastic performances by the cast. Of course, Kratos and Atreus are at the forefront, but the supporting characters are also very well acted and voiced.
    The level design is impeccable, it encourages exploration and finding secret areas better than any linear game ever made. Its also all the more satisfying to see huge action sequences tear up the area and make you change up your play style. The levels and exploration are nearly flawless in execution, and make replaying or revisiting them utter joys.
    My only complaints about the game, and they are minor, would be that I would like more challenge in some of the games main story boss fights as well as more boss fights in the games story mode. However, the optional valkyrie boss fights are great and provided me with some very challenging fights that could took me anywhere from two to over twenty tries to complete.
    Overall, God of War proves to be an innovative, polished, fun gaming tour de force. It throws out unsavory business practices and exchanges them for the simplicity of just making a good game as one of your main selling points. And Sony Santa Monica Studio has not only made one of the best games of all time, but also the best game of this generation. And I cant wait to see where the series goes next.    … Expand

    Very good game. Some of the combat did get somewhat repetitive but if you after a game with plenty of lore and an excellent story this is the game for you. This is not the same game from the past. The "hit a certain button at a certain time" during a boss fight is no longer the case. Great game, some very small issues but they do not cause you to lose immersion whatsoever.

It introduces their changes very smoothly and tries to make it easy to get into. Eventually though the game will get hard, but it always gives you the chance to come back later.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the greatest games of the PS4 generation up there with Horizon zero dawn, The combat is fluid, has more depth the longer you play unlocking new abilities, An excellent crafting system, Armour weapon upgrades making for some unique combinations as Equipment linked to stats and power level, has a dynamic enemy level system where they get stronger the higher power you are, So many different enemy types each with unique abilities forcing you to adapt different fighting styles strategy.
    Great end game boss battles the Valkyries Pitting you to use all You've learned.
    Yes this game is linear at parts but its all the more rewarding when you realise you can go anywhere especially in Midgard as you gain new abilities you can reach new areas exsplore ruins, There is a wealth of side content from full side missions, Labours which are tasks, other realms have unique challenges. An end game after credits questline. This game is fleshed out to the max at least 30hours of content and thats if you leave some behind.
    No cutscenes what I mean is its a continues camera over shot never fades to black goes into some CGI video everything is done using the game engine a fully immersive exsperiance.
    To those who are worried about it being to hard compared to dark souls dont be the difficulty is as difficult as you want it to be it has a story immersive mode as well as a Chaos mode also no trophy is linked to difficulty feel free to change it mid game no reprocussions.
    The graphics push the original and slim PS4 to max and looks gorgeous dont worry about not having a pro it runs so smooth on original slim and I haven't encountered any problems Run a full game test on each.
    The story is a masterpiece of subtle relationship progression between a father Kratos and his son Atraues as they journey to scatter the mothers ashes which opens a whole new Lore and gods for Kratos things quickly spiral as secrets are reveleaved and some epic encounters ensue, I wont say to much suffice to say the story will drive you through the game whether you like it or not.
    Overall Kory Barlog has created a wonderful exsperiance that should be enjoyed by every playstion 4 owner, it has something for everyone those who love deep combat but easy enough for those who dont, story loving gamers for those who just want to push past side content, open world gamers who want side missions collectables, exsploration, and enough end game content Go esplore and defeat the Valkyrie complete all the challenges.
    Things to bear in mind this is the start of a trilogy but is self contained in scope, but that means not all realms are available as if they would let you go straight to Asgard. Probably no DLC as stated by development straight to work on sequel especially for PS4 if want it as last game Most likely through PS5 launch title.
    Lastly dont forget to go home at end of game for secret ending dont worry can still play post credits that ending will have you hyped for next one.

Tons of side activities which can increase the power of Kratos with new gear and experience points, if you're having a hard time with the main story I would recommend to go off the main path and explore. The visuals are also pleasing to the eye, the art direction is fantastic and not a lot of newer games of this AAA scale delve into the greek mythology, I bought this game mostly to see how they handled creating these areas and I feel they exceeded my expectations. Also no micro-transactions or DLC holding back story content, this is a complete game from start to finish right out of the box. My only criticism is that the gameplay can start off feeling like it's missing something - only allowing the Player a few options to combo enemies - but without spoilers, it will eventually pick up the pace and turn into a very combo driven game, especially on higher difficulties where it's recommended to stun lock foes before they get a chance to hit you (unless they've got poise, in which case dodge). This is an amazing first time user experience, but I haven't found much replay value unless you're willing to give the story another go on the hardest difficulty (having to replay through story sections is tedious unlike games such as Dark Souls where a Player can go at what ever pace they want, this game is designed for the first time user experience). Most games I would recommend to buy on sale, but this is different because of the production value found here. Even People who don't play video games can follow along and immerse themselves in this story which is something special.… Expand

    Obviously, nothing is perfect, the game has gorgeous graphics, the cinematics are perfect, the Father/son relationship develops as the story progresses, the secondary paths are amazing and interesting, it doesn´t have load screens, the combat system is most satisfaying, and the way you can upgrade your character it´s better than the other games. But this changes in the combat system won´t be for all, also there are lots of bosses encounters, and some times, it becomes boring or repetitive. But that doesn't mean that it's not a good game.

    The game not only seeks to entertain but also attract the player, narrating important factors of Nordic mythology and how these directly affect the game, also shows (as in the previous entries) riddles and puzzles that the characters will have to solve for advance in history, both main and secondary roads, showing one more time how Sonic Santa Monica can make great things with a videogame that the comunity was wating for decades.    … Expand

    I'm just going to write what I didn't like since it's way shorter than listing everything that I enjoyed.

    Basically the game has repetitive mini bosses which seem kind of dull, not only because they look the same (with small variations) but the cinematic finisher for absolutely all of them is the same, so after the 4th Troll/Ogre/valkyrie (and won't be the last) it's just like well ok.

    The music and art are all very well done. There are many different places you go and each place has its own theme for the most part, and really makes it interesting to see whats around each corner. The artists did a great job bringing the environment to life and giving the story a fantastic foundation.

    When it comes to exploring these places all of your extra effort is rewarded with meaningful rewards and makes you want to explore more which helps you appreciate the level design as well as more of the art.

    The narrative, I must say, is amazing. So many times I found myself listening to an npc just hear what they had to say. This is very out of the ordinary for me, however, I do love mythology. So hearing an alternate version of some Norse mythology is probably right up my ally. Either way, you will likely appreciate the way Kratos and Atreus interact with each other.

    Combat is very fun, they did an amazing job in my opinion making it versatile enough that when i'm fighting i'm not always using the same techniques. The enemies, again, are diverse and offer interesting situations.

    I would not recommend playing the hardest difficulty unless you've beaten the game. I say this not because it is difficult but because it becomes cheesy and monotonous. You will find yourself maximizing damage through sometimes cheesy techniques because it is the best/only way to move forward and this can ruin much of the fun of the many versatile and unique techniques/things you gain in the game. Not to mention you will die more, much more.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline is beautiful, and learning that Atreaus is Loki at the end leaves so much to be desired in the sequel. My knocking of 2 points comes from how it seems that the other realms seem under developed or overlooked. Since there are 3 realms I never get to visit, and aside from Midgard being fully developed but the other realms seemingly empty aside from some NPCs, it felt like the story could have been extended to involve them.
    Another thing that annoyed me was how coming from God of War III, I was hoping to battle against numerous Gods like Odin, Thor, Sif, Bragi, etc. The other thing is when I was fighting the gatekeeper of Helheim, it was basically just another troll. I would have loved to see more variation in the design.
    Thankfully, I feel like this was a good origins story, but these things should really be addressed in the sequel to this game.    … Expand

    I played God of War—the earlier versions, briefly, a few years ago. It wasn't my thing. If you felt the same way as me, there's hope for you now as this reboot of the series is absolutely incredible.

If you felt the same way as me, there's hope for you now as this reboot of the series is absolutely incredible.

    It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a single player campaign as much as I've enjoyed GoW, at least a console generation or two. For the record I've completed (or nearly completed) a good few of Nintendo's and Sony's big hitters like Mario Oddysey, Breath of the Wild, Bloodborne, Last of Us, Metal Gear 5, and Horizon, as well as the great non-exclusives like Witcher 3 and GTA5. While those are all great titles, God of War really makes me feel like it's the killer app of the last half decade.

    God of War's mechanics don't do anything particularly new, in fact, the core exploration/world mechanic is very much like a Metroid game where the number of available paths available increase when gaining a new item from the main quest line. This was fine with me as it kept the pace of the main quest tight, and that's where the game has one of it's strongest points: the cutscenes, the set pieces, the characters and the dialogue are all very well woven into the story and provided me with entertainment that surpassed all of the above titles that I mentioned. Quality over quantity.

    Then there's the graphics; no need to explain here, it's just the best looking thing on the ps4. Period.

    And finally, the combat; God of War's combat surpasses games like Bloodborne, Breath of the Wild and Horizon. Kratos' axe throw, in particular, feels great with the rest of his move-set, as well as his son's arrow mechanic. Your moves can be fast or strong and the over the shoulder camera brings a sort of hefty feel to your actions. The game can be a serious challenge (on the Challenging difficulty) that rivals a Souls game. Blocking, dodging, and knowing your enemies' moves are required. The enemies are varied, and some are introduced in really cool ways (like the Revenant cave). When a certain enemy was around, I found myself prioritizing and flinging them into another stronger enemy for stun value. I found myself orienting so that I could push them into walls, and off of cliffs—things that were necessary to survive. I can't stress how much I enjoyed the combat and exploration, which rewarded me with the gear to be able to kill off the final valkyrie.

    Buy this one, it's a must have.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bought a PS4 just for this one and it didn't dissapoint one bit. Storytelling and visuals are on a whole different level than everything else. But I'm sure you've read a lot of positive reviews so I'm going to address the negatives around here. Basically, they look like written by people angry about it being better rated than their favorite games, and the reasons they put this down are quite ridiculous.

    Saying it doesn't have a good storytelling is the first thing you need to ignore. I never played another GOW before, but I played GOW3 just before this one to get in shape. This is leaps and bounds beyond that, a much more rational and emotional approach than the blind blood-hungry Kratos from the past.

    Gameplay has also evolved a lot and it DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING to do with the Souls Series. Beat Bloodborne just before GOW3 (I bought Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and GOW3 while I waited for this to be released) Combat is unique and is right in the middle of an action game and an RPG. Upgrades are awesome and well balanced. Nothing feels like too much or too little.

    I've also seen people talking about its difficulty. Yes, it's not an easy game, but if difficulty is a handicap for you, then play it on easy. Bloodborne is as hard as this one (In hard difficulty, the one I played it on) but it doesn't let you chose between levels of difficult, this one does. Once you get used to it's gameplay and upgrade yourselves enough, everything is beatable except for the hardest enemies on the game which you will discover when you play it.

    Same goes for fans of Uncharted, and older GOW games that couldn't get over this one. Just forget all you've read positive or negative about this game and enjoy this adventure. There are a lot of chances you will find it unforgettable.    … 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]
