    The story: The story is a beautiful one. Kratos and his BOY Atreus set out on a journey to scatter the ashes of Atreus' mother Faye, at her dying request. This journey isn't as straightforward, as they are hunted by the Nordic gods, for reasons that become clear in the game. The story sees the growth of the father-son relationship, Kratos as an outsider who wants to put his past life behind, the growth of Atreus as a Warrior God and also the development towards a certain famed Nordic event, that will be revealed in the game.

    The characters: The lead characters Kratos and Atreus have been depicted quite well, with their words and action always in line with their developing personalities. The side characters are a delight especially Mimir and the dwarves.

    The combat: This is possibly my favorite part of the game. Due to the new camera which is just behind the shoulder of Kratos, each fight feels much more visceral. Unlike the previous installments in the franchise, combat here is strategic and requires planning. The weapon, skill and gear upgrades are all different and hence can be tailored according to the fighting style of the player, which I found particularly useful.

    The visuals: Graphics in this game are an experience. The detail in the world and characters is breathtaking and really adds to the overall gaming experience.

    Certainly a generation defining game, and definitely one of the greatest games I've ever played.    … Expand

    It's a great game but not worthy of the 'best of all time' that some claim it to be. Travelling from one area to another is tedious.

The upgrades that can be found are generally useless and when I completed the main story, I had a feeling of 'Surely this isn't it'. The climbing system is pretty useless and seems to be trying to copy Unchartered/Tomb Raider but there is no need for it. Sometimes you need to mash Circle to move an object, sometimes it is part of a cinematic- there is no consistency in this regard. The fighting elements are a bit of a let down in that button mashing generally gets the job done. If there were more skill and tactical planning needed to bring down enemies then it would be wholly more satisfying.

    That said, it is a beautiful looking game with a relatively engaging story. Load times are pretty good (apart from the 'fast travelling' which is disguised as an adventure to hide the loading time), the puzzles are engaging and well thought out. Boss fights are challenging and fun.

    If I were to recommend this game then it would be a resounding yes. But wait til you can get it for a dropped price. It is a fantastic game despite my grievances but they are only grievances borne out of a frustration of what it 'could have been'.    … Expand

I beat the whole game and am still playing it till this day. The story is intriguing and I struggled to stay away from the game until I finished it. The game has this way of making you go back to places you've visited and they still feel fresh even though the world is considerably huge.

    The music in this game is amazing, in my opinion at least, it has a very fitting soundtrack, the type you would listen to on a trip surprisingly enough. Also, although the game lacks in boss battles, all the boss battles mean something and are important to the story. You could also say there are a lot of bosses if you include the Valkyries as bosses, which I personally do, and I think this is one of the funnest side quest in the game- although they can get really tough. The only tedious thing in this game are the Odin's raven which are only necessary when 100%ing the game, which I will be doing.

    Overall, I rate this game very highly and definitely suggest you play it from start to finish
    Also, the side character isn't useless which I'd like to see in more games-Alse    … Expand

    Fantastic game. Great story and great storytelling. Combat is less hack and slash, more methodical, almost souls like. Good pacing, It is a linear games, but with open world elements, of which are great for fun factor and gaming mechanics but hurt the story. This game sets standards. Enjoy playing.

There are less weapon to use, the runes feels like another attack but it does more damage. But I think it is just the same as the GoW before. Just that without the jump a big part of the attacks has been lost.

    The RPG style. I like it, new to this game but I like it. The game feels more challenging when your lvl is low.(Got to kill a leveled 5 monster with level 2. It took time and some rage but I did it.) Of course when you find more monster a higher level is a massacre. To level up items, side quest and more. It's in good condition.

    The 4 difficulties. Have seen just the 3 first difficulties. And the difference from "Give a Story" to "Give me a Challenge" is big. I have seen my brother playing with the 2 first and me with the challenge and it's truly different. So for that, balanced difficulty. (Maybe I start with "Give me God of War" after this review)

    The world, sure is big but it is limited. Even so for me it was enough and good to discover some parts of the mythology and the story. (And the biome, was crying after see so many beautiful views in a game.)
    Also 5 worlds to see. Not much from 3 of them but enough.

    Lack of enemies. Sure to beat the same mini-boss many times but with different elements (or that) feels repetitive but different. Good with the bosses, they where powerful in their ways and challenging some of them. Sad not every boss got a part of the biome destroyed like with The Stranger at the start of the game. (Loved the scene when the Dragon exploded and then Kratos stands up in the middle of the Dragons mount. Such a godlike view put on as wallpaper.) I would have loved to see more type of attacks on the bosses but OK.
    Loved the Valkyries too, still after the rage with the last one.

    Cinematic was truly AWESOME. Loved all of them.

    No bugs found while I was playing (as always).

    The relation between Kratos and Atreus. Beautiful how it was from the start to the very end of the game.

    8,7/10 from me.

    So now then Santa Monica. With this game, hope you from now on surprise us with a better and bigger God of War (5). This is just the start of this new arc. I am prepared to anything that comes.

    //Also I said to the other people. Remember, this is the first time they do this type of videogame. Don't just wait to get a full masterpiece from the very beginning. As every game, they need to be polished. Santa Monica is gonna make us have the mouth open for the next games. But as always, hope they make the GoW feeling even bigger. With more weapons, more attacks, a even bigger world, DESTRUCTION of the biome fighting bosses and so... GG    … Expand

I have seen nearly every kind of story twits, every kind of gameplay mechanic etc. So when you read this short review please bear in mind that I will be as objective and unbiased as I can be.
    Why do you play a game Like God of War? For its story? For its Action? Visuals maybe?
    MY first drive in a god of war game is the story mixed with the mythology.
    1 - The Journey! (Story) The norse mythology combined with Kratos' story is a perfect ground. And the game teaches you that it is not the "end" of the adventure but the "journey".
    I will be honest with you. Of course if you know the Norse mythology, the ending has a good twist. But in my humble opinion, many of the side quests had "better" stories than the main story. (Fafnir storyline for example) But during the Journey (I dont want to call it an adventure... it is a journey) everything pulls you to itself to uncover, to reveal the truth. In a very long time this is one of the games that I have completed with nearly every side missions. (Left only a few chests and valkyries).
    The story with his kid had bored me. I expected someting like Joel and Ellie kind of stuff (Last of us). But it is not as good or emotional as the mentioned game. Kratos' calling his son "Booooii!" constantly annoyed me to hell.
    The environmental puzzles and platforming are quite enough and with some clever clue system you always feel that you are accomplisihing something.
    2- The action : When the combat system changed from regular God of War combat to 3Rd person combat God of war and the lack of new weapons, I tought that the combat will be stale or not as colorful as the previous installions.
    Thank god that I was wrong! The combat with the Axe and the shield is VERY satisfiying with various upgrades and play mechanics. Plus, the Itemization and inventory / item management have changed the game drastically!
    If you like to play safe, you can stack on “life” upgrades and depending armor sets to survive longer. Or If you are like me, who thinks “best defense is the offense!” then you can stack up power and other aggresive moves, so that you can easily, dispatch foes with ultimate combos and devastating frost attacks.

    3 - The technical side. Sound- Music-Graphics, environements, , are detailed, top notch, great, even on some occasions “perfect”. Lighting, sounds, voice acting. All great and they keep the atmosphere over the top.

    Please do not compare this game with older installations. The older games (except ascension) are masterpieces in their own terms and a genre defining games. But This is the God of War.

    More Mature, More Father,
    More Monster…

    The long and short of it… The new “God of War” is not a gamet hat you can understand from a review or something that explainable, but a journey that you must live for yourself.

    I am sure that this game deserves all praises, but only when played on a hardest difficulty (Give Me God of War). Of course, it applies only to gameplay, not the amazing sound, music, voice acting, story and graphics. These things are obvious and their excellent quality shouldn't be even a topic of discussion.

    The combat is fair. With a good equipment there were times when I was slashing through foes without a problem, and sometimes one guy was giving me hard times. I never even once thought that I died because of some injustice - getting hit is always your fault. That's why every fight was satisfying, especially when I was out of a rezz stones. The Boy and The Head are great help in fights and their warnings helped me many times. Not saying that their banter is sometimes hilarious. You need to be totally without any sense of humour to not appreciate dialogues in this game.

    There are 16 types of enemies, and they all have at least 3 forms - with different move sets or powers (but true, sometimes only kind of element affiliation). It can be not enough if you expect a new type of enemy appear every 30 minutes. For example, in Horizon Zero Dawn you have 29 types. For me it was more than enough. At least I mostly remembered their move sets and could fight with them efficiently. In addition, they were also getting better when you let them level up during a fight. I can imagine that at lower difficulty, when you are just butchering everything with few hits it can become an issue. Only boss fights seemed lacking, but at least the final one was good, and wasn't a quick time event.

    The puzzles for me were a OK. Exactly on a level that you would expect from something like Action-RPG.

    The average time to complete the story + some extras seems to be around 25 hours, which is enough in my opinion. Much more than previous God of War games, half more than Last of Us, and similar to a story-only run in Horizon Zero Dawn. Something around half less than Witcher 3, Dark Souls or Bloodborne. I know that this comparison is all around the place but you I think it serves its purpose.

    In my opinion God of War is nearly a perfect game in its genre and I will recommend this game to everybody.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego no me llamaba anda la atención aunque fuera fan de God of war, el brusco cambio que le habían dado no era de mi agrado... o eso pensaba.
    Luego de comprarlo a 10 en oferta, no me arrepiento de nada, todo lo contrario, de hecho cambio mi forma de ver el soft reboot de la franquicia, y cuanto lo necesitaba,
    Desde el ascencion se comenzaba viejo y obsoleto, así que fue lo mejor que pudieron hacer con la historia de Kratos, cual al principio pensaba que era un reboot total y no tnedria continuidad a la historia original, lo cual era otro motivo por que me mantenía alejado del juego.
    Por suerte supieron hacer la cosas bien y se siente como un juego nuevo.
    Todo el juego es literalmente un viaje, una aventura en toda regla donde ves cosas increíbles y conoces la historia del mundo en el que esta kratos ahora, pero mejor aun, esta fielmente basada en la mitología nórdica, osea no todo aquí es inventado, casi nada de hecho, así que ademas de contarte una historia, te enseña una mitología que existe en la vida real, esos suman puntos extras en mi opinión,
    El diseño del mapa supera por mucho a cualquier god of war anterior no solo fascinantes que son, si no por que puedes explorarlos y no tienes una cámara casi isometrica que no te deja ver mucho como los anterior GoW.
    Lo malo del juego es la poca variedad de enemigos que hay, es copia y pega de unos cuantos, con todos los colores y sabores que hay, en eso si decepciono algo.

Was it the right choice I'm not sure though as the more you compare this one to the others the more you realize how radically they changed how the game plays. While things like jumping are missed I still had a lot of fun but what I enjoyed more then anything was the story. Having Kratos move to a new mythological land of gods is a fantastic idea. And while sometimes annoying I did really like the inclusion of Atreus his son. Him not knowing of his godley origin and him trying to emotionally connect with Kratos is something I didn't know I wanted to see in these games. And seeing Kraos open up and allow himself to connect to his boy is wonderful especially when you remember that all these games have been actual Greek tragedies for Kratos with him killing his wife daughter mother father inadvertently his brother and being betrayed by practically everyone I think the man deserves to find some happiness in these games.… Expand

    Il y a quelques aller retour dans le trame principal mais à chaque fois on débloque un nouvel équipement qui peut servir à exploiter le level design plus en profondeur et explorer la map, c'est vraiment plaisant.

    Concernant l'histoire, je la trouve absolument génial, la narration de Cory Barlog est toujours aussi subtile, imprévisible et bien travaillée, les personnages sont tous très charismatiques et l'ambiance est palpitante. Malgré les tonnes de théorie, on ne peut pas prédire la fin. Une seconde partie est toujours aussi bonne car elle permet de se rendre compte que tout était là sous nos yeux mais vous l'aviez pas remarqué.

    This game is so good that even if it is adapted into live action by great creators, the game will still win out when compared to live action.

    GREAT STORY
    GREAT ACTING
    GREAT SOUNDTRACKS (you'll get chills every time)
    GREAT COMBAT SYSTEM

    However, i would have preferred Kratos on his own. Atreus was a nice addition for combat, but having him always there was off putting for me. Kratos and the head swinging at his side would have been enough for me. I also would have enjoyed a bit more adult content (I'll leave it at that).

    Finished GOW a few days ago and it's easily a 10/10. What i would've like are epic boss fights like in the old GOW and that you see what goals you missed by (smaller) regions, like Odins Ravens for example. It's extremely annoying to search for them, when you don't know, which ones you found already and which ones not.

    Looking forward for the sequel!

The side quests are boring and sometimes you start doing something and wait for the time to come to end the mission. Enemies and especially bosses poor and without differences.
    It makes sense to wonder how it is possible to like a game and write so many negative comments. The truth is that it is done. I liked the game a lot, spent over 70 hours on it and I would spend more. But there were so many new games on the Playstation that were waiting to be played by me. The end left me a little disappointed. And I could not help but mention how very nice the soundtrack of the game.

The game looks and sounds great with monsters making disturbing noises and epic moments drowned out by loud ominous music make every scene even more unforgettable. Kratos and Atreus both grow and learn on their journey. Its a story filled with lore around every corner and a perfectly crafted version of Norse mythology. The journey our characters take really shows off all the great relationships this game has. It has a great father and son dynamic with Kratos constantly scolding his son and teaching him to learn from mistakes of others including Kratos himself. It works really well and the side characters are entertaining and lovable and the villain is probably the best part. The game play is also great hack and slash fun with a lot of diversity and different ways to approach your enemy's. Its all well done and even the RPG like upgrading system works even if it gets grindy post main story.
    The combat never felt old because your constantly learning and obtaining new things and travelling to different places with new enemy's. The side missions are also great fun and exploration is rewarded and a welcome feature. Occasionally the games pacing can be slowed down with some boring tasks and things to do but its very rare.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tras años después de God of War 3 nos traen una nueva entrega. En este juego encontramos notables diferencias respecto a lo tradicional en la saga. Tiene notables características de RPG ya que contamos con diferentes tipos de ataques y habilidades, sistema de niveles y equipo con diferentes mejoras tanto para la vida como resistencia y daño. Procedo a analizar punto por punto.

    Jugabilidad.

    En este sentido sigue siendo de acción con diferentes combinaciones de ataques y habilidades como pasaba en anteriores entregas. No obstante se ha vuelto más táctico y a perdido parte del ¨frenetismo¨ que encontrábamos anteriormente. Ahora, los controles de ataque se asemejan a un Dark Souls en consola ya que los botones de ataque están en R1 y R2 mientras que L1 y L2 se emplean para el uso del escudo y otras acciones. Este control produce una agradable sensación al jugar y la combinación de los ataques se hace de una forma más ligera ya que no consiste en machacar botones uno tras otro.

    Árbol de habilidades.

    En el apartado de habilidades tenemos un gran cuadro que podemos desarrollar a partir de nuestra forma de juego. De tal forma que si usamos más el escudo podemos desarrollar su uso o, si por el contrario, usamos más el hacha, podemos mejorarla.

    Guión y desarrollo.

    Se trata de una historia no convencional en la saga ya que en vez de de tener que ir en busca de tal o cual Dios para matarlo, se trata de un viaje de superación y aprendizaje para Kratos y Atreus a través de los diferentes reinos de la mitología Nórdica. Hay una evolución a lo largo de la trama de los personajes en su forma de ver el mundo así como en su pensamiento que está bastante bien construida. No obstante se pierde un poco esa sensación de progreso ¨personal¨ de los personajes si te dedicas a la exploración del vasto mundo que tenemos a nuestra disposición. A lo largo de la aventura iremos interaccionando con diferentes mundos y razas. Tiene una muy buena ambientación pero flojea en el diseño de niveles. Ya que algunos de los mundos se pueden considerar amplios pasillos con pocas cosas que hacer en ellos.

    El juego cuenta también con un excelente apartado gráfico y sonoro que nos ayudará a meternos de lleno en el mundo que nos presenta. Los enemigos están zonas con sentido dentro de la narrativa ya que un tipo de enemigo aparece en un determinado lugar porque en ese sitio hay unas características que hacen que abunde ese tipo de enemigo.

    Como puntos negativo:

    La poca diversidad de enemigos ya que es técnicamente la misma.
    Algún pequeño bug visual, nada que afecte a la jugabilidad.
    El diseño de niveles en determinados puntos.

    Como puntos positivos:

    La historia y desarollo.
    La calidad gráfica.
    Misiones secundarias.
    Explicación de la mitología Nórdica mediante diálogos y coleccionables.
    Enemigos secundarios, Las Valquirias.

God of war слишком линейная и коридорная игра для меня, на сюжетных уровнях было прям физически некомфортно на этих узких кишках, с повсевместными невидимыми стенами, с камерой, практически вплотную закреплённой за спиной, и всё это под управлением замедлившегося по сравнению со старой версией себя Кратоса, который теперь всё делает нарочито медленно, а про существование прыжков и вовсе забыл. Ко всему вышеперечисленному, к сожалению, я так в полной мере и не привык, даже пройдя игру и убив всех валькирий. Также нельзя не отметить, что на базовой плойке, графика в разы уступает оной на PRO версии консоли, также как и в плане оптимизации. Во всём остальном: это настолько вылизанный и продуманый продукт, что все эти оценки и премии неудивительны, хоть на мой взгляд игра слегка и переоценена.

    Итак: Для любителей хороших историй здесь в наличии крепкий сюжет с хорошей постановкой и проработанными характерами персонажей, для любителей исследовать и изучать мир - открытый для исследования мир, с кучей опциональных локаций, и не надоевшие вышки, как сейчас принято, а более естественное исследование мира, за что разработчикм большой респект, даже банальный сбор лута и сундучков они оформили в интересный челлендж с метанием топора, а уж что касаемо других встречаемых активностей, то здесь вообще не заскучаешь, тут и освобождение драконов, и хардкорные битвы с валькирями, и интересные испытания муспульхейма и даже автоматически-генерируемый рогилик в нифльхейме для любителей гринда, также в игре большое множество стычек разных мастей, от мелких врагов из различных разломов, до огромных троллей. Что касаемо боевой системы: здесь есть вариативная прокачка боевых навыков, включающаю в себя прокачку топора, щита, цепей, рукопашки, всё это, вкупе с прокачкой пацана и руническими атаками даёт возможность экспериментировать с тактикой и делать что-то уникальное в каждом бою, а уж возможностей для боя в мире этой игры вагон и маленькая тележка.

    An absolute marvel of video game production. I can honestly say this is the best made game I have played in the past decade. The characters are interesting and engaging, the combat is fluid and fun, the story is well written and fast paced, and the lore is incredibly detailed and expansive.

    A genre and generation-defining the experience for the PS4 all must encounter. God of War is action-adventure perfection with gorgeous visuals, demanding combat, and a fantastic narrative. Easily one of my all time favorite games.

    Kratos plays and controls like a tank which makes combat a boring chore. The world is gorgeous but ultimately feels manufactured, it never transcends being a utility.

    Yo quería un hack and slash como siempre, este no lo es y me sentí estafado... pero luego de jugarlo mas extensamente note que los cambios al manejo del personaje están muy bien realizados, la manera de combatir muy bien pulidas, apartado visual glorioso, un excelente juego, aun que mejor no lo lanzan como god of war, god of war es (era) una saga hack and slash frenetico, no continuare laYo quería un hack and slash como siempre, este no lo es y me sentí estafado... pero luego de jugarlo mas extensamente note que los cambios al manejo del personaje están muy bien realizados, la manera de combatir muy bien pulidas, apartado visual glorioso, un excelente juego, aun que mejor no lo lanzan como god of war, god of war es (era) una saga hack and slash frenetico, no continuare la trilogía si la hacen con este estilo de combate tan lento.… Expand

    This game was amazing. Out of this world and a must play. The only thing about it that takes away some of the fun is the fact that quite a few bosses are re-skins with slightly changed moves. Other than that...this is a MUST play!

    I loved the franchise before, but this is next level. Great Great combat, very engaging story and no microtransactions. Just a near perfect game and deserved game of the year.

    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.
