    A true masterpiece. Great production values.

    -Fantastic combat. -Amazing world design. -New life for Kratos as a character. -The soundtrack and graphics is amazing.

    The only minor complaint is a lack of variety in bosses, but even then the few that exist arebgreat.

The experience is like when you were at a theme park as a kid and you get to drive a car around, only to realise it's stuck on a rail. The experience is all planned out for you and you are never really in control. You can only more forward, look around at the fire effects and the show that is presented to you and just sit out the ride. Nothing ever really feels dangerous. Just look for the yellow signs on the wall or smash circle when you are asked to. Combat has the same feeling of repetitiveness and over-the-top drama which blends out everything. Not every game needs to be open world at all for me, but with this game I just feel really detached to what's going on by the way it is scripted out for you at every turn.
    Just not the type of game I really have fun with.    … Expand

    This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is not without some flaws, but in general, this is one of the finest pieces of software ever made.

    The story and presentation are simply breathtaking. The continuous camera is so well implemented and it really feels as if youre following kratos through is story instead of playing a game. The combat is extremely satisfying and weighty.    This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is not without some flaws, but in general, this is one of the finest pieces of software ever made.

    The story and presentation are simply breathtaking. The continuous camera is so well implemented and it really feels as if youre following kratos through is story instead of playing a game.
    The combat is extremely satisfying and weighty. While it is clearly derived from Soulsborne-esque games, it has its own nice twist on it with the abilities specific to kratos.

    The only notable flaws I could really point out with the game is the lack of enemy variety and the performance. While the boss fights are there (with some of them being seriously epic) every time you think youre going to have another big fight, they just throw the same stupid trolls at you that are extremely easy to take down even on the harder difficulties.

    The performance on the PS4 Pro is a tad disappointing as the performance mode definitely does not hold to 60fps often and I constantly feel the drops. But it's way better and easier to play on the variable performance mode than a sluggish 30fps cap with checkerboard rendering artifacts that stand out like a sore thumb.

    Overall this game deserves all the success and praise it has gotten.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War was done and dusted, Kratos completed his arc. He defeated the Greek Pantheon and felt the taste of vengeance. Sadly for the fans, his story was done but little did we know, Corey Barlog and Santa Monica weren’t finished with our ‘boy’. They had another epic tale to tell. With a new, semi-open world design, over the shoulder camera, revitalised, visceral combat system and more appealing and cinematic approach to storytelling, Kratos has made a cracking return and a simple and powerful statement: “I am the face of Playstation, hear me roar!”… Expand

The story is fascinating, immersive and creative, not similar to any other stories based on norse mythology. The combat system is great, though there is a only bad thing, no qte.

    A great start into a new trilogy (I hope?)!
    I love the new setting, the BOY, and old Kratos, and am a big fan of how exactly they explained it all so it made sense with the first trilogy.
    Graphics are great, music is top notch, the gameplay is fun, story is intriguing... the only thing I think isn't quite there yet are the boss battles. There were only basically like 3 boss battles, only    A great start into a new trilogy (I hope?)!

There were only basically like 3 boss battles, only one against a big monster, and that felt very "tame" compared to what Kratos did in the past games.
    However, I do think that a slow start is better for the story here. It would not make sense for Kratos to go kill 37627 Gods right away when he clearly wants nothing to do with that anymore.
    Here's to hoping that the 2nd and 3rd installments will get much, much bigger in scale, closer to the originals.    … Expand

Буквально пару часов назад добрался до боя с братьями, и после победы, не знаю как себя заставить играть дальше… Больше всего я не люблю условности в играх. И эта игра эта игра просто выводит на новый уровень УСЛОВНОСТИ. Множество ситуаций в которых, в метре от героя находится кнопка/ключ открывающая путь дальше. Рукой потянуться немного надо… Фигушки. Иди ищи кристал, принеси кристал, выстрели, отправь сына… В один момент мне показывают какой Кратос божественно сильный, в другом он не может чутка подбросить паренька. Местный паркур, после ассасинов, дно днищенское. Надо перепрыгнуть между уступами? Нельзя просто сдвинуть стик в нужную сторону и нажать прыжок. Надо навести камеру в нужную точку, чтобы появилась кнопка прыжка. Боевка - мне не нужно 70% навыков. Достаточно всего пары комбинаций. При всей бедности навыков… По сути все сводится к комбе р1р1р1р2, зажатому р2 и броскам топора, плюс еще пары навыков, остальное юзаю скорее по приколу, нежели чем для какой-то пользы. Люди создавшие местные лифты, с которых нельзя спрыгнуть пока они не додедут, заслуживают отдельный котел. По итогам, мне понравились эффекты, дизайн мира и графика. Где тут шедевр я не понял… Это не шедевр, и даже не просто отличная игра. Это середнячок с плохими решениями, в очень красивой оболочке. Я очень разочарован. И я не жду продолжение.… Expand

    (Este análisis es publicado tras pasarme las misiones principales de la historia, me queda pendiente jugar las misiones secundarias) (Es mi primer God Of War)

    Good game, but over hyped honestly.
    Realistically it's a 8.5/10..... it's not God of War anymore.. but it's a good game/movie.
    Studio have done an good job.

    God of War was definitely a let down for me, I expected a stellar 10/10 action game, and I got a mixed experience. One of the good things about this game is definitely the graphics, this game looks great and the presentation is pretty good with all the cut scenes. The base combat is great too and feels solid, unfortunately this combat often gets sullied by the incessant hoards ofGod of War was definitely a let down for me, I expected a stellar 10/10 action game, and I got a mixed experience. One of the good things about this game is definitely the graphics, this game looks great and the presentation is pretty good with all the cut scenes. The base combat is great too and feels solid, unfortunately this combat often gets sullied by the incessant hoards of repetitive enemies that they throw at you every 2 minutes, it get's exhausting and tiring near the end of the game where there is a massive difficulty spike. Boss fights range from cool and fun to painful, as some of them take way too long to beat, and get's excruciatingly annoying near the end of the game. Instead of making cool, harder bosses, this game opts for the easier, "throw 2 bosses at once" type of route. This is completely artificial difficulty and what made this game miserable to play near the end. The puzzles range from simple to annoying, and was way too many over the course of this "action" game. As for the story, there is none..... Just an over arcing reason to go to Jotunheim. Overall, this game is not a 10/10, and people that are telling you that are lying to you. This game has it's moments, and sometimes can be fun, especially from the start to the late middle of the game. However, this game became repetitive and annoying once the difficulty spike occurred. I'd say 6/10 considering the excellent graphics and presentation, and game play from the begging to the late middle of the game, however, the end game ruined all that momentum with artificial difficulty and it's repetitive nature.… Expand

    God of War doesn’t just feel like the next step for the franchise, but for the entire video game industry. Phenomenal visuals, rewarding exploration, and a deep, nuanced combat system contribute to an epic adventure that should be experienced by every human on earth. Santa Monica Studio is taking us all to Valhalla.

    Graphics are stunning and the storyline was promising. But the gameplay is not at all what I expected it to be. Very limited moveset and very little variety in the enemies you encounter. All around I was very disappointed with the result of the game.

    The Graphics and the sound are amazing. The storyline was somewhat interesting. The gameplay is not reminiscient of the other games.    Graphics are stunning and the storyline was promising.

    Powerful, beautiful, technically daring but with a really poor plot. The title is almost a masterpiece because it is precisely the plot of the big flaw of the game. For the technical department there has been a drastic change compared to the predecessors but the work done is incredible. To play absolutely.

    One of the best games of the generation. Sony Santa Monica hit the reset button and made Kratos an interesting character. The world building, the combat, the story and the interesting characters of the Nordic lore all come together to make for a remarkable time spent playing this game.

With that being said This game is spectacular, God of War is a hard game and might I say **** THE WITCHES < you will know what I mean once you play it. But from what I understand this game plays nothing like the other ones. Which is why i'm kinda underwhelmed by the combat, I did not enjoy the combat as much as I feel I should it is average at best for me. But that still doesnt undermine when you tear some of these enemies apart. but gameplay doesnt make a whole game if it did it would make this a 6/10, so what makes this an 8 well to start the Graphics are absolutly beatiful these worlds were never distractingly fact and have me immersed just like the story which is a true 9/10. Kratos trying to be a dad after knowing nothing but blood is completely realized and him and his son trying to understand one another is ground breaking story telling. The only true negative is the INSANELY LONG animation for travelling the realms. The animation is cool for the first few times but if you are a completionist like me this will give you ample to time to go out and make a sandwich and come back and still be stuck there. But overral this game for me is a 8.3/10 and i enjoyed my time with this game.… Expand

Joel & Ellie gained a placed at my heart that I assumed no other game could replace, but atreos & kratos grow so deep into me that its hard for me to tell anymore.

    The third-person perspective was a great decision to make for this masterpiece; because it helped making you feel like you are exploring the world and environment.

    Very well done game story is bit to much to one side would of prefer to see more about the Norse gods but still good story my biggest issues is the camera being way to close to the character and the lack of a damn jump button and the combos variation feeling a bit lack also...but all in all good game

    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.
