    Best of GOW series. A mature, full action packaged game. Excellent graphics, a vibrant story. Combat feels good and complex. Don't follow haters (0 score??). It's a great game. First class of everything. It define how the action games should be in the future.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game.And it was good that Cory came back for the new God of War. Absolute Masterpiece. Cory barlog is a genius.
    Don't listen to the people who speak the game badly just because a lot has changed and they can not handle it. Any real God of war fan would appreciate that and also had to come to innovations. Away from Greek mythology, into a new world, a new chapter, a new story. This game is for any passionate gamers who are open to something new. new game mechanics. Do not be persuaded by the people who give these bad ratings because they deliberately want to talk the game bad. do not feed the trolls. You just have to love this game. no matter in which regard. It is a mastepiece on a very high level.The graphics,the gameplay and the story. It's a pure high level game.Thank you Sony,thank you Cory and Santa Monica for those great hours with god of war. unforgettable.It's more than perfect.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the previous god of war games, but to me they all felt kinda tedious with very boring combat that one could just button mash to get through. Get one of the are of effect combos and you could pretty much just repeat that forever. But I always loved the epic story of God of War and I was very excited for this new iteration of the series because they where going to change things up.

    And ever since i started the game I have not been able to put it down much, for a week this game has been on my thoughts for most of the time. It is truly a masterpiece of a game in all regards. The story is amazing with incredible moments of both emotion, action and just scale. I might be biased since I am from Scandinavia, but the use of the Norse mythology in this game is the absolute best representation of it that i have seen in my life.

    The characters you meet are very likable and it has really cool villains. But I have to give major credit to Christopher Judge and Sunny Suljic for their roles as Kratos and Atreus, they do an excellent job, the emotion in both their performances are superb. Likable child characters is a hard thing to master, but this game truly did. I do have to say that the story is way more personal than previous games, and while there are many big set piece moments of pure epicness. There are not as many as in previous games, and there is more time in between these moments. But more on that later when I get into the gameplay part of the game.

    What also helps immensely with the story is of course the graphical representation, it is once again superbly done and it is amazing what they have accomplished when it comes to console gaming. The use of lighting is some of the best I have ever seen, and the camera work and the idea of having this continuous camera that never stops makes it really feel like a journey without artificial pauses. The character models, animations, the monsters and perhaps the most important aspect, the locations and the world itself is just breathtaking to look at.

    Now for the gameplay, this is probably my all time favorite action game ever. It is amazing how much better this combat system is than the previous games. It is tactical, it is challenging but very fair, it is also a huge amount of fun. I have at least played the game for about 40 hours and I am just in love with the combat. And the progression system is a very welcomed new addition, be it the skill trees or the new RPG styled equipment system. Searching every nook and corner of the massive world is very fun and rewarding.

    Now the game is not perfect, and there are a few issues here and there. One problem for me is that too many times I had to fight the same troll enemy as minor bosses. While they sometimes got a few new skills and they looked different. It did get a bit boring that so many minor boss encounters where just clones of the troll enemy. While there is a lot of variety in how enemies look, they do reuse enemies a bit too much imo. I hope that the sequel brings in a lot more variation in how enemies actually act and not just look. Which brings me to another minor gripe with the game. While the story has a satisfying ending, it does not really feel complete and it does end with a cliffhanger.
    I am not sure how they will continue the story, but I fear the real ending will come with DLC. This I am not very fond off to be honest. That being said, I am of course excited for what is to come, but I hate to have to wait for either DLC or a sequel to come out to truly finish this tale.

    But as a complete package, God of War is one of those few games that comes along that truly sets the bar for other games. I have had a blast playing it and I still have more hours ahead of me with God of War as there is still so much content to go through in it. Uncharted 4 was my favorite PS4 game, but God of War have now taken that place. It is also among my top 5 games of all time and I just can't give it anything less than a full score.

    10/10, a must buy game for every PS4 owner.    … Expand

    The game's structure is more akin to a Metroidvania kind of game, and it works perfectly without sacrificing the epic set pieces god of war is known for.

    At the beggining of the game, combat is simplified, but with each passing hour, it began to become more frantic and intense: at the end of your journey, you will feel like a real norse god. The game is also very lengthy, amd even has endgame, and what an endgame that is. This game will last you quite a while.    … Expand

    This is probably gonna be the easiest 10/10 I will ever give.

    This game excels on so many levels, whether it be the narrative, the combat, the visuals, or the characterization.

    It's a beautiful, yet brutal journey that will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Isn't it for kids? They would question me. For a while now i kind of came to my senses that they might be right on this one. BUT, GOD OF WAR changed it for me.
    GOD OF WAR. You beautiful bastard. This is my answer!

    Yes. Its that good. Who cares about Half Life 3 anymore.. I got this game and its more than sufficient.

    The first thing you're going to notice in this game is the Godly amount of polish that went into making it. Everything is shown in a single shot and it never cuts. Thus keeping you on the edge of your seat. One epic moment leads to another and the next thing you know is that you just spent the last five hours on a single gaming session. Time just flies. Combat in this game is more mature, gory and brutal. No more hack and slash since Kratos will take damage. So, you'll need to defend yourself at all times. "The Stranger" Boss fight was the one that got me hooked which is about 90 mins into the game. The Badassery that was dispalyed by this Boss and the Tsunamic combat with him was an experience which is out of this world. The pacing is also something that needs to commended here since there are quieter and lighter moments after every major fight and Kratos's son Atreus will accompany him by keeping thing fresh with a lively banter plus the change of scenery and music really keeps things moving. The sound & Music is sublime here. Every detail from the sound of Kratos Beefy punch to the music that plays in the background is stunning and perfect. Coming to the next Best thing is the Graphics in this game. Every detail and animations starting from the rocks and trees breaking apart when Kratos throws his apponents against them to the pristine texture quality of objects like trees, terrain and vegetation is astonishing. I'am really. How can this run on a PS4 is baffling my mind. Lastly the Story. Let me just say one thing. The least i say about it the better it is for you. Its superb is all i can tell you.

    God of War is like a well oiled machine. Everything thing from its Story, Gameplay, Graphics and Sound come together mixed in with an secret X factor recipe to give you an experience like no other and i don't say that lightly. Hats off to Santa Monica Studios for pouring in their godly effort, sweat, tears and blood into making this Game and then putting it out there for everyone to experience. I highly doubt that there will be any other studio beating this game for a long time. I say Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Cory Barlog and Santa Monica Studios! You made me a gamer all over again and you also refortified my belief on one more important thing. Do what you Love and do it like you're Life depended on it and the fruits of your labour will be on the same epic proportions as GOD OF WAR!    … Expand

    So they changed most of the Game and they did it right. Not once have I thought that i would rather like to have the steady camera of the previous entries The combat is still very fast but has more variety thanks to the new weapon. And the close-uop camera makes it even more thrilling.
    Atreyus as a sidekick is NOT annoying at all. He makes combat and even the story-telling way better.    So they changed most of the Game and they did it right.

    The Graphics in this game are some of the best, maybe THE best i have ever seen. The scenery is highly detailed and beautiful to watch. The lore is amazing and how they are implemented in the story is perfect.

However, what keeps me from giving the game a perfect score are two small issues. The combat, even though it's fun, is nothing outstanding and can sometimes get old, and what gets really old is the constant puzzles. I normally don't have a problem with puzzles but certain areas of the game sometimes literally have 2 or 3 puzzles in them, and then you go into the next room, and have two or three more. Most of these puzzles are not difficult, but most of them are also the same thing again, and again, and again, and again, and that gets boring and feels more like a weak way to break up combat and story rather than having a point. Overdoing anything can be a problem, but when you are constantly slogging along because puzzles keep slowing you down, it becomes a problem. It's an amazing game otherwise, but the parts that annoy me are just too much to ignore. The next God of War game that we've been hearing is coming, better tone the puzzles down a bit or I'm done.… Expand

    Sony teve a coragem de tentar inovar (porque aquela formula antiga de God OF War já estava enjoando)
    e deu certo, jogo lindo, ótimo combate, história maravilhosa e sem loadings. Halo 5 e Gears 4 estão com nota 84 e considerados um dos piores games de suas franquias, porque a Microsoft só quer entregar mais do mesmo, não inova.

    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]
