    In this part of GoW the main characters are shown more deeply, their motives are revealed and shown. They are more interesting and charismatic. There are a lot of side characters, which are worked out very well.
    And the whole setting of game is very very beautiful, great and unique. If in the beggining of playing i were bored of swiming in this boat around the lake, to the end of game i were happy to explore new and new areas.

    One bad thing about the entourage - sometimes it is too complicated due to the large amount names, notes, legends. It is good for the game, but it is hard to keep track of everything.

    The fighting and RPG-part of game seems too complictaed in the beggining, but then it is ok and i find it much better then in the past part. Maybe bosses became less harder, but some of enemys (Valkyries, trials, echo of the mists) make you to try hard.

I can tell you about the insanely beautiful world of vikings, how the lore is accurate but with some twist (obviously since well….Kratos) and how the story just grows on you with it’s twist and turns, you just want to keep on playing until you figure it all out.

I can tell you about the insanely beautiful world of vikings, how the lore is accurate but with some twist (obviously since well….Kratos) and how the story just grows on you with it’s twist and turns, you just want to keep on playing until you figure it all out. It’s been a long time since I had this feeling with a game, a game that I can not stop playing and get the urge to calling in sick at work just to play a fantastic game. I played God of War for two weeks intensely, got the platinum for it and loved every single minute of doing so. I dreamed of it when I was asleep, thought about it when at work and when I played it I didn’t want it to end.

    The journey of Kratos and Atreus is one you do not want to miss out on, the game alone is worth getting a Playstation 4 for. Two things I need to point out that I was afraid would take a hit for the worse on this game compared to the rest of the series and that’s the voice acting and ability to jump. Initially I did miss being able to jump but it doesn’t take long until you get familiar with how this new God of War gameplay is, which is in all honestly still very action packed with a lot of combos, just not as many tricks and depth to it as before but I still think they did a good job as I was very negative to that fact before I started playing the game. Then the voice acting, wow just wow. The new Kratos is way better than the old one, and I thought he was good too! Mimir, Atreus and all the others got a spot on casting too and it makes the whole game have a complete package, great voice acting adds oh so much to a game. Just listening to Mimir and Atreus storytelling when being on the boat brought me great joy for example, I can’t remember last time I could just enjoy looking around in a game taking in the environment and listening to characters talk.

    So what are you waiting for? If you got a Playstation 4 there is no reason you shouldn’t be all over this game by now. If you don’t have a Playstation 4 I suggest you get one now and play this game!

    Pros
    It’s so damn beautiful!
    The lore and story is superb.

    Cons
    At times I do miss being able to jump.

    One of the best looking games of this console generation. The story is moving and the sound design, especially the voice acting fantastic. While the end game gets very repetitive (randomized dungeons to upgrade your armor), it is is only necessary if you are going for the platinum trophy.

Ahora bien , el juego es inmenso la duración es amplia pero no esta algardo de forma artificial, la exploración siempre es recompensada y las misiones secundarias son una autentica delicia, si el jugador las omite se habrá perdido gran parte del contenido del juego, ya que dichas misiones parecen mas misiones principales que otra cosa, ya que están muy bien planteadas y diseñadas.

    I know a 5 seems like a low score for a lot of people, but I don't think God of War is bad, I just think it's unremarkable.

The gameplay does just enough to be interesting, but for me the biggest flaw is that it was just too easy. Even the Valkyries weren't that difficult and I believe that the Valkyrie Queen's level of difficulty would be perfect as a regular boss, but nowhere near difficult enough to be an optional boss (I know a lot of people had trouble with her and thought the Valkyries were extremely tough. I'm not trying to brag here, but i genuinely did not find them that difficult). This lack of difficulty is a problem, as I didn't really have to engage with the mechanics at all. Once I got the timing down for the dodge and parry, I was able to get through each encounter without putting in much thought into them.

    The world/playable map the game takes place in, while pretty looking was kind of dull. Everywhere you go, there was nothing that interesting in how you could interact with the world which made me not want to explore, but I had to anyway because you need loot to upgrade kratos. While on paper using loot for progression is a good idea as it is easier to control such that you don't get overpowered, I found the upgrades to be far too incremental to be exciting. It's hard to get psyched over doing slightly more damage and having slightly more armour. Worst of all, it kind of cheapens the combat. It makes some fights near impossible to get through until you get better armour in which case you can take it on the intended way. I don't like the feeling of losing a fight largely because I don't have good gear and die in a single hit. I rather do away with the upgrade system all together and just rely on your skill to get through fights. This is before mentioning the absolute mistake that was Niflheim. In short, it was an optional region where you can get good loot. Great, except to get everything you need to do the same thing over and over again. They should have tuned it such that you only need to go through the circuit maybe 5-7 times. As it is in game, it took you way too many times doing the same thing over and over again to get everything.

    Lastly the narrative, is okay. It is clearly trying to recreate a father child bonding type story that we got in the last of us. The issue with God of War is that we don't really see the character's grow in a substantial way. You would expect Kratos to go from an emotionally distant father, to someone who is more open. We kind of get that with him telling his son that he is a god, but he still dodges questions like where he got is blades of chaos. He doesn't feel that more open to Atreus then at the start. As it stands his character arc feels incomplete. Speaking of the boy, his arc is that he went from an unsure kid to a kid with a literal god complex back to a regular kid I guess? It kind of went by way to quickly and his turn to the dark side and then back into a tolerable character happened so fast it barely counts as growth. As for the main villain, he was extremely underwhelming. For some reason the writers decided to include a villain but not make him part of the main conflict. He's just something that happens in the story sometimes. When Kratos learns that there may be a way to defeat him, he shrugs it off and says that they will find a way, but does nothing to look for this weakness. In fact the villain has nothing to do with the quest of spreading Kratos's wife's ashes at all. If he were to disappear from the plot, nothing would have changed. Kratos would just get to his goal with less hassle. Kratos was literally just on his way to the end goal when the villain appears out of nowhere and starts a fight. So We're fighting the villian one last time I guess? no build up, nothing to tie him in with the rest of the plot. He's just there to be a boss fight.

    I know I sound harsh on the game, but the narrative was the weakest part of it by far, the gameplay makes up for it somewhat, but it suffers from being too easy to really engage me.    … Expand

    God of War possesses only a few minor shortcomings, one of which is that it does suffer a bit of what I have come to call "Naughty Dog-ism" - it is often attempting to demonstrate its own narrative and cinematic excellence, sometimes to the detriment of a sense of player freedom. Additionally, it also is not a game that I found to have much in the way of replayability. Despite these criticisms, God of War will take you on an enthralling joyride for 40 or so hours, and it manages to balance solid gameplay with one of the most powerful narratives in a video game.

God Of War es una saga que la conozco desde sus inicios en la Playstation 2 y algo que siempre se ha destacado de esta saga es la actitud de Kratos ante un rival, ya sea en palabras o en acciones sangrientas. En esta entrega se ha cambiado todo esto y ahora notamos a un Kratos más cuerdo y mejor preparado mentalmente para afrontar cualquier combate incluso llegando al punto de querer evitarlo, aunque más tarde que nunca este enfrentamiento se llegue a dar. Notamos mucha más humanidad en la actitud de Kratos. ¿Esto es realmente malo? Sin duda algo que ha dejado en el ojo de la tormenta a este videojuego ha sido el cambio brutal que ha tenido Kratos en su temperamento, incluso ahora tiene una nueva familia con la que se nota mucho más su cambio porque nos acostumbramos a pelear solos (Hay solo una excepción), pero esta se presenta en casi todo el gameplay.
    Otro cambio ha sido la jugabilidad, que en lugar de tener un Hack & Slash como anteriores entregas ahora tiene un gameplay más pausado y una variedad de armas no tan grande. Si bien el Hack & Slash es uno de mis géneros favoritos, no he sentido que el cambio de este género en la nueva entrega haya sido algo que te impida disfrutar la experiencia de God Of War que ahora parece una mezcla de acción y aventura con razgos de los RPG ya sea en el arbol de habilidades o en la capacidad de poder mejorar o elaborar nuevos trajes para poder tener mejoras en los aspectos que busquemos mejorar para mantener un equilibrio en nuestro estilo de juego lo cual hace que el gameplay pueda variar si eres capaz de poder explotar al máximo el gameplay que el juego te puede ofrecer. Si logras persevir al niño como un estorbo, esto no es así ya que puedes utilizar al niño como un arma más y poder realizar mejores combos.
    En el aspecto del apartado gráfico, sin duda es excepcional el cómo Santa Mónica ha podido explotar el hardware del PS4 (2013) y cómo han utilizado las mejoras de PS4 Pro. Sin duda me he quedado boquiabierto con los escenarios, los modelados de los personajes principales y secundarios, las armaduras y los objetos que nos vayamos encontrando en el entorno. Personalmente, no he percibido algún tipo de tirón o caída de framerate que haya arruinado mi experiencia de juego, he sentido una fluidez sólida tanto en el gameplay como en las cinemáticas (que no se sienten como tal) Las cinemáticas de este God Of War deben ser una de las mejor implementadas en los videojuegos. No sientes que estuvieras en una cinemática, sino como si fuera parte del juego y sin duda es algo que logra mejorar mucho la inmersión, esto conocido como un plano secuencia
    En el apartado sonoro, sin duda se han mantenido a la altura del soundtrack de anteriores entregas, es lo que siempre me transmite magia y epicidad sintiendome como si fuera la primera vez que jugué God Of War en PS2. Les recomiendo escuchar el tema principal (Overture) con subtitulo en español y vean el cómo este tema refleja todo lo que pasamos en la aventura.
    La historia es de lo más brutal que he visto en un juego de God Of War, este es el fuerte de la entrega ya que comparado con anteriores títulos es superior en este apartado. El comienzo de la aventura ya nos vaticina el tono que tendrá la historia con un Kratos más maduro y posicionado (Actúa acorde a qué amerite la situación). Comenzamos con lo que de por sí es nuestro objetivo final el cual es cumplir el último deseo de Faye (Madre de Atreus y esposa de Kratos) que es llevar sus cenizas al pico más alto de los 9 reinos que vi bien en la premisa suena algo simple, en el desarrollo del juego se llega a profundizar en varios aspectos en la relación padre e hijo, y en lo bien escrito que están los personajes y lo sobresaliente del guión. (Todo lo que diré de la historia para no spoilear)

    Esta es la clase de juego que uno debe adquirir, sin micropagos ni microtransacciones. New Game + gratis, contenido adicional en misiones secundarias, rescate de dragones, busqueda de objetos para los enanos y lo más brutal que son las valkyrias que son todo un reto en la máxima dificultad en especial la última.
    Gran variedad en los mundos y 2 extras en las que podremos encontrar grande recompensas al terminarlos. Uno es un laberinto que cambia constantemente mediante avancemos y si morimos perderemos todo lo obtenido y otro en el que se nos presenta arena de enemigos con diferentes formas especificas en las que nos piden acabar con ellos.

    En conclusión: Para mí, es el mejor juego de la historia. Cuida cada uno de sus apartados y para buscarle pegas hay que ser exquisitos. Quizás la variedad de enemigos, pero es algo ya como dije de exquisitos. Lo de no soltar a muchos Dioses es entendible ya que esta entrega va a tener una secuela. Un juego que es arte y que enamora.    … Expand

    the best story game of this generation
    The game is amazing, the way in which he presents a greater kratos away from the war with the gods where he has a son and a late wife.
    The story of Kratos in Nordic mythology seems amazing to me the scenes and the characters.
    best game I've seen in this generation I recommend it to everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра-то охуенная. Не понимаю почему так много отзывов с негативом в сторону Santa Monica из-за того что они ушли от "классики" в виде press X to win, коими были все предыдущие части серии на сложности начиная со средней. Игра прогрессирует, и я этому рад. Взяв только позитивный опыт souls-like игр с их перекатами и таймингами, разработчики выдали одну из самых лучших боевок со времён Royal Guard в DMC3. Возвраты топора это вообще бомба, очень сильный упор сделан на комбинации, комх в игре можно придумать великое множество и они не прописаны по типу трёх квадратов в мортал комбат. Разочаровало лишь их однообразное исполнение (но ни в коем случае не разнообразие, т.к. они достаточно свободные и при наличии небольшой толики воображения можно создавать комбо длиною в вечность не повторяя движений) — все комбо основаны на одной кнопке и выполняются с чередованием пауз. Ветви прокачки этих навыков радуют — можно использовать всего понемногу, можно драться одними кулаками со щитом. Порадовали рунические атаки — можно одеть достаточно сильного "магического" Кратоса с упором в рунические статы. В общем, простор для билдов огромный.
    Отлично проработана логика школьника Атрея — в зависимости от костюма двигается соответственно боевому стилю. Нельзя недооценивать его умения, ибо он невероятно силён при каче его лука. Его ИИ вообще пушка, в бою не мешает, а если кооперироваться с ним и играть от его захватов — можно проводить виртуозные драки с использованием оглушения.
    Не улыбнула сюжетная линия, как только я вошёл во вкус, она сразу же закончилась. Для меня это было каким-то ударом, что-ли. Гринда экипировки абсолютно нет — можно пройти игру на повышенной сложности с бомжовым ансет шмотом забивая на прлсьбы гномов и доп. квесты.
    У игры нет какого-то линейного прохождения, по пути ты часто встречаешь задания которые можешь и не выполнить из-за перевеса в уровне противника. Не понятно, как разрабы видели прохождение игры, в связи с этим у меня осталось негативное впечатление от сюжетки — игру прошёл, а мир так и не посмотрел. Благо потом остались валькирии, Муспкльхейм и Нифльхейм — там можно ещё долго тусоваться после завершения основной сюжетной линии, но как-то странно всё это. Почему нельзя было интегрировать их куда-то внутрь сюжета, а не оставлять на потом?
    Прекрасная часть с заделом на будущее. Заслуживает своей оценки чуть более чем полностью.    … Expand

    So to start off let's talk about the Story which is the best part of this game. Is has a great storyline with memorable characters. Kratos returns as the playable characters and he is such a good protaganist. This game has a great character development aswell between Kratos and his son Atreus.

    Kratos is also a very intresting character and after the game is over there's still many unanswered questions that makes you just wanna find out about but you can't and it's good that they did not tell us everything in the first God of War 4 so they have things to tell in the next game which is going to make players excited. It can be hard to explain how this game is but you really have to play it to get the full experience. There is nothing like playing the game yourself than watching a playthrough.

    The graphics in this game is amazing aswell, probably one of the best on the ps4. The sound is great aswell.

    The combat very well made aswell. You start off with the leviathan axe. The axe throwing is really well made aswell and it doesn't get old. Kratos son has a bow and he shoots different types of arrows and the enemies that can slow them down for example.

    The world looks beautiful with some really intresting areas to explore. The two dwarf shopkeepers is really funny aswell. During the game you fight the son of Odin, Baldur as the main antagonist and some other bosses i don't want to spoil.

    Things that i would want is some more end game content. There are some things to do but don't expect sometime massive. You'll just have to find out for yourself.

    Can be hard to explain everything about this massive game but briefly said: This game has a great storyline with a good combat system with really good sound & graphics but the end game content isn't really there but overall this game is very fun and i just want more of it and i can't wait for the sequel. Definetly recommenden and if you dont own the game you should do yourself a favor and pick this game up asap!

    Story - 9.5/10
    Combat - 8.5/10
    Sound/Graphics - 9.5/10
    Fun - 9/10
    Immersion 8.5/10
    End game content - 7.5/10

    So by that i give this game a 9/10. Definetly worth getting and a great game overall.    … Expand

    God of War es un juego simplemente perfecto o casi perfecto, lo principal, su historia, como es contada y su desenlace es exquisito, los personajes con los que te encuentras, perfectamente sacados de la mitología nórdica y correctamente diseñados hacen que el juego sea maravilloso para lo amantes de las historias Vikingas.

    Mecánicas y gameplay son excelentes, los movimientos de Kratos son brutales y viscerales y eso sumado a los script, lo hacen bastante cinematográfico y espectacular y eso se agradece.

    La dificultad esta muy bien equilibrada, el desarrollo del personaje va acorde y ese ingrediente RPG para mejorar nuestras habilidades es bastante completo.

Then I decided to sit down and give it a real chance and had a great time with it. I like the fact it's relatively linear,being more story/action based than having a huge open world to explore. There is still potential to explore and side quests,but the narrative is generally fast paced and everything you do is connected directly to the main story (apart from the Valkyries that you can take on after the main story has been completed) It never gets boring and looks amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm gonna go straight into it that this game. Its a dam good game. God of War will be game to remember for a while. The live development in characters is just so amazing. With Atreus, which is Kratos's son has more than an interesting development throughout the game. In Most games you see a character with lacking abilities, and then you see them move on and grow more and develop in a classic way. Since I see this a lot in video games it doesn't seem interesting for a character to have this development. Now you go and play God of War, you just entered the big boy region. Atreus has a development were he goes to being useless to being skilled but not perfect. But then you got the twist. He goes to being overconfident when he realizes he's half god. Any way screw the character development I want to talk about the action. Holy crap. The second boss battle was so amazing, and got my attention to keep playing this game. Its a long game, so with its brutality and cinematic battles, it kept me hooked until the very end. And you may be wondering why I rate this game at a 9 and not a 10. Well its just that the story is only alright. Not good not bad but alright. Its just one objective to bury ashes at the tallest peek of a mountain. I thought once you bury the ashes, something else would come up but that was just the end of the game. Other than that its a quality game and worth your time.… Expand

    Playing it for the first time on ps5 in 4k 60fps. It looks so next gen i couldn't stop playing until i finish it. I played it i guess for around 25 hours... it's story, narrative, soundtrack it's as good (if not more) as a blockbuster movie... its a masterpiece!

The gameplay however i have very few things to comment...  kratos skillset is very simple and sort of lack that "wow factor" of what made the old GOW great. Although, i like the part where they introduce the original weapon of ghost of sparta... i guess kratos being portrayed as the old and retired version making him slower and simplistic.. i guess its understandable they may be trying for an introductory of something big for a sequel. Going to the world and the gameplay within it... its a mini or semi open world... its not as good and as engaging as odyssey... but if your looking for an action game expanded to something big just enough not be convoluted.. they did it.  I liked that the enemies are challenging. If you are in it for a challenge.. this is not the easiest game out there. Im giving this an 8.5/10

    I mean, you already know how great the game is. The only thing I didn't like is how even though it's a big game it still felt linear. There was a point where I felt like the game gassed out and I wanted more, but that's just me. Amazing in every other aspect.

    1) Cool graphics! 2) Great atmosphere, well-developed game world! 3) An interesting plot, not without complaints ... (Unfortunately, there is no variation, so going through the game again has a meaning only to increase the difficulty? I personally would like to at least sometimes influence the storyline.) 4) Not a bad combat system, but I was personally disappointed by the finishing, from1) Cool graphics! 2) Great atmosphere, well-developed game world! 3) An interesting plot, not without complaints ...

In the game about Spider-Man 2018 there were at least 3 animations of finishing on one type of opponents! At the same time, there are many ways to crush enemies, and playing at a high level of complexity is a real challenge for the player! 5) Personally, I expected more from the crafting system ... As I expected more visual content. The game in this sense is not surprising, from the word at all. Bottom line: In general, perhaps one of the best games on the market today. Solid 8/10!… Expand

    BOI! You best play this game, BOI! And also, take a shot every time he says BOI! Incredibly deep game, full of nuance, story, and exploration. This game coming from the this series is proof that the creators behind it are continuously looking to improve and change, progressing each time.

    Apesar de sair um pouco do estilo original dos outros jogos da saga, é um dos melhores jogos de Ps4, senão é o melhor!

    There is no 9.4 rating here so it should be 9 I guess. God of war is a great game. It's how games in 2018 should look like. Magnificent gameplay has diluted with good story, music, graphic and other things. If you have PS4 it will be pity if you don't play it

    An fantastic game that shows a changed Kratos and him coping with the death of his wife. A game that I highly recommend.

    The game is good for sure. However, there are way waaay too many collectibles. And there is far too little combat. Most of the game was running through puzzles. There was a bit of fighting. Then they saved most of the real fight for the Valkyries.
    I wanted more fun ripping through large groups of little dudes. But overall, the game is really good, and a lot of fun to play. Just wish there    The game is good for sure.

    They said its one of the best games ever. And they're right. A masterpiece with amazing graphics, story and gameplay. If you dont like adventures, mythology or rpg's dont worry. God of war is a game for everyone. Very enjouful platinum. Eir was most difficult than Sigrun hahahaha.

    The game is amazing. Nothing more to say.
    The only complain that i have with the game is that there are so many recycled enemies

    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.
