Feb 26, 2019Beautiful and moving story is only the beginning to how amazing this game is. They story is rich with emotions and feelings that we feel, and lots of amazing and subtle foreshadowing is done throughout the game. The combat system is phenomenal and groundbreaking. Everything in this game is simply beautiful and has taken my breath away. This game will forever be one of the very best.

Apr 29, 2018This is what all games should aspire to be, everything looks well made from the animation and the combat is perfect.

Feb 28, 2019Absolute masterpiece of a game. No load times, beautiful graphics, awesome gameplay, and amazing story. I haven’t fallen so deep into a game since Bioshock Infinite. It’s a shame I wasted so many years giving Microsoft XB1 a chance that I missed out on so many beautiful titles. Hands down the pinnacle of gaming! Thank you GoW devs!

Sep 14, 2018Best game I've ever played. I loved the first 3 GOW's. Having original staff member Cory Barlog return was a huge move. They take great care of Kratos as a character and do justice to the original while adding to it in all the best ways.

Jan 20, 2019change such game as god of war is one hell of a task but it really shows how good it is to take real risk at difference of other companies like nintendo and breath o the wild with its supposed change of formula when everything they did was change the limited area for an open world and put the old zelda stuff in it

Mar 28, 2019I have played all releases of God of War and this is almost the best one, because III part is still a winner definitely.
Santa Monica, well done ! -
Feb 22, 2019The new God of War, with its remarkable visuals, living world, superb combat mechanics and mature narration marks the beginning of a new era for the franchise and, dare we say, single player gaming altogether.
-
Feb 22, 2019Великолепная игра, которая заслуженно получила звание "игра года".
Геймплей, как и музыкальное сопровождение на высшем уровне, видно что Кори Барлог вместе со своей командой вложили душу в игру. -
Feb 22, 2019I created a metacritic account just so I could rate this game. Santa Monica Studio has set the gold standard for the perfect mix between game play and story telling. I am so so satisfied with my purchase.
-
Feb 25, 2019Best game of 2018, one of the best games for ps4 and incomparable improvement from the past series.

-
Nov 23, 2019This game is just perfect. Santa monica changed the original god of war physics and made it even better. It's boring first hour, but longer you play, it keeps getting better. With it's great story, great gameplay, and one of the best bosses in the series, God of war 2018 is maybe a best game of our generation.
-
Nov 25, 2019One of the best (if not the best) games of this console generation so far.
This is a dark, mature action adventure game that will last around ~20-30 hour game (with no filler content) depending on how much you explore, and difficulty level you selected with emphasis on quality over quantity. -

Dec 9, 2018God of War is truly the game of the year and the game of the generation it is a total shame that red dead fanboys can deal with it and come here to leave a negative review such a shame specially when they robbed the awards of best narrative and score they should be banned from this kind of events

Jun 12, 2018I liked the deeper combat system but in didn't buy this game for emotional **** with his son. Just because of the little **** whining all the time, I had trouble to get to the end of the game. Really needed days off just not to listen to him. If the game is sequeled, remove the kid. I wouldn't care so much if the game wasn't GOD of war and named differently with some other protagonists.

Jan 25, 2020Nothing you'd expect from a god of war title in the worst way imaginable. Annoying child companion, recasting Kratos and annoying RPG elements plus the fact that the gameplay is weak and story is weaker. The only people who will enjoy this have never played a god of war game in their life. Why no just make this game a new IP? It's nothing alike to the superior trilogy.

Jun 5, 2018Gave this a 8/10 because of the amazing visuals and great combat mechanics! However the story wasn't as good as it should have been and looking back on it there's not many memorable moments. The boss fights are pretty poor when it comes to numbers and diversity and was really underwhelmed :(

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Sep 13, 2018The 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]

CD-ActionJul 6, 2018Cory 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]

Jun 7, 2018Where 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.
