    Great story, good gameplay but it seems that something was missing, left a little taste of want more. A marvelous revamped franchise.

    Kratos makes an epic comeback.
    The game walks a new path and everything new it does is for the better.
    A masterpiece.
    One of the best games of this generation.

    I love the God of War series and this entry into the series mixes it up and changes the core game play a lot. At first I wasn't very impressed, I found the controls unintuitive but eventually got used to them. The graphics are amazing for now, however I found the pacing of the game and story all over the place, jumping from one thing to another and not as enjoyable as previous entries inI love the God of War series and this entry into the series mixes it up and changes the core game play a lot. At first I wasn't very impressed, I found the controls unintuitive but eventually got used to them. The graphics are amazing for now, however I found the pacing of the game and story all over the place, jumping from one thing to another and not as enjoyable as previous entries in the series. The combat is kind of like "Dark Souls lite" with it's own unique game play, specifically the throwing axe. The music was top notch. The biggest let down however was the ending, which felt abrupt and anti-climactic. There a lot to do and collect in this game however after the end of the disappointing story I didn't feel compelled to complete it 100%. There is also a lack of interesting boss battles and a lack of variety in enemies and finishers which became boring to see very quickly unlike Doom 2016. A lot of the gear upgrades seem worthless or not useful and some of the move upgrades are unnecessary. Overall I had a good time playing God of War, it's far from the masterpiece that gaming sites have made it out to be, it's close but ultimately misses the mark; there are some great moments and some dull moments however it feels like half a story and hopefully it has a satisfying conclusion in the sequel.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, I wish the main story was longer. It was a bit shorter than I expected and was kind of disappointed in that aspect. Nonetheless the game is definitely a must play. I felt as if they were trying to give us a Joel and Ellie relationship, with Kratos and Atreus, and this made me raise a few questions about the game. At some points of the game, I was confused with what the developers decided to do with the story, like when you are trying to reach the light in Alfheim and an Elf Jumps out of the wall at you. If that was supposed to make the player shocked of some kind, then it failed miserably at it, as when it jumped out, I immediately said "Kratos is a God, so this is nothing". The game tries to make Kratos seem more humane, but honestly we still remember the angry spartan. When taking on bigger enemies, I again was confused at how difficult it seemed to take these enemies down, as in previous games, I understand that he is older, but he is still a God. Like the dragon fight should've been way better and should've been as gruesome as previous games' boss fights. One more thing that I have a problem with is that the Kratos and Atreus relationship felt forced and unsatisfying when I finished the game.

    With all of the negatives out the way, the game does what it wants to correctly. The combat is more enjoyable than I thought it would be and the fact that it is open world really immersed me into the game. I love that there is so much to do after the main game is completed and that the game gives a challenge in a lot of aspects. The story despite all the flaws was still good, but not the best. Sometimes I felt for these characters and actually felt as if the stakes were high. This really fits the game and makes it a much more enjoyable experience.

    Pros
    -The story is immersive and has good story telling
    -There is much to do when completing the game
    -The combat is better than it may seem
    -Open world is done properly and doesn't feel empty

    Cons
    -The relationship between Kratos and Atreus feels forced
    -The boss fights aren't that great    … Expand

    beyond words this is the game of the generation and all the haters should be feel bad for not buying a ps4 to play this game instead of give it bad scores and saying stupid things like the withcer 3 is better

    Пожалуй, самый лучший эксклюзив на PS4 за всё время её существования. Конечно, есть и другие классные эксклюзивы, такие как Детройт или Человек-Паук. Но эта ига берёт душой. Рассказ о сложных отношениях между отцом и ребёнком, поколении, повидавшем многое в своей жизни и его будущем преемнике. И этот рассказ происходит не в самое лучшее время.

Но эта ига берёт душой. Рассказ о сложных отношениях между отцом и ребёнком, поколении, повидавшем многое в своей жизни и его будущем преемнике. И этот рассказ происходит не в самое лучшее время. Игра великолепна во всём - музыка, локации, точные мифологические факты создают непревзойдённую атмосферу. Геймплей возрождает жанр "слешер" и добавляет элементы всех новый ААА игр - крафт, поиск ресурсов и т.п. Эта игра не даст тебе отдохнуть или заскучать. Единственный минус (если это вообще можно считать минусом) это то, что Кратос перестал прыгать. Конечно, это можно объяснить тем, что Бог войны уже в возрасте, но это меркнет в интереснейшем сюжете. Надеюсь, у этой великолепной игры будет сиквел, который даст нам, геймерам, ещё раз окунуться в мир Древности и Мифологии.… Expand

    This game is everything i wanted . As an old gamer since the first one came out on 2005. Im pretty sure this edition has required tons of effort from the developers and its all really worth playing . I highly recommend this new God of War masterpiece .

    Genuinely one of the best games I have ever experienced. The gameplay is very interesting and fast-paced, perfect for the action genre. Some of the best graphics and most detailed world design I have ever seen up to this point (also most of the game is entirely made up of one continuous shot). The story is, although not perfect, incredibly well paced and interesting from start to finish.Genuinely one of the best games I have ever experienced.

Some of the best graphics and most detailed world design I have ever seen up to this point (also most of the game is entirely made up of one continuous shot). The story is, although not perfect, incredibly well paced and interesting from start to finish. All of the performances were near perfect and incredibly well done. The score is among the most emotional and empowering music I have heard that is intertwined wonderfully with the story. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this series.… Expand

    As someone who's only knowledge of the God of War franchise was a 20 minute youtube video, I walked into this borrowed game very neutral with expectations... And honestly I was nothing short of blown away. The intense combat and visuals is astounding yes, but the game truly holds itself together with a rich and detailed story with writing so incredible you want to hear every characterAs someone who's only knowledge of the God of War franchise was a 20 minute youtube video, I walked into this borrowed game very neutral with expectations... And honestly I was nothing short of blown away. The intense combat and visuals is astounding yes, but the game truly holds itself together with a rich and detailed story with writing so incredible you want to hear every character interaction, even the minor ones. The writing in this game is so amazing that honestly it's more astounding than the visuals and music, which are both also top notch. The choice of using norse mythology as the topic was an exceptionally good one, creating a greater interest in the mythos than I ever had before. Honestly this game was near perfection for me, my only tiny gripe being the reuse of the same mini boss battles after a time. Truly a masterpiece of this generation.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Generally I really Liked the game especially the narrative and sound design.
    Now let's look at it point by point:
    1) The picture is just awesome. The scenery is amazing, the implementation of the jormugarner, how they show that the snake is actually huge - very cool to watch.
    2) The difficulty setting is **** up in the meaning that you either steamroll through everything or you dance around getting oneshotted if not panically careful.
    3) There is a lack of boss fights. Pretty much the first one is the best one. Every fight with a miniboss, like a troll or whatever those dudes with pieces of stone were - repetitive as hell.
    4) Overall repetitiveness of the game. You will find yourself doing the same thing over and over again.
    5) Storyline is nice and has some nice twists. Though unless you are 10 and have not read a single book - they will not be surprising for the player.

    Even though I mentioned a lot of negative parts, I would say that it is a must try out experience.    … Expand

    Visually stunning, excellent story and great combat (but, you need to get used to it). Looking forward to the next game after the cliffhanger.

    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.
