    Ce jeu est un chef d'oeuvre absolu. L'histoire et la narration sont magnifique, le jeu des acteurs est ce qui se fait de mieux et les graphismes décors, animations sont à tomber par terre. Ce god of war m'a autant fait halluciner que le 1er à son époque. C'est du grand art.

    one of the best games of the generation, I was very afraid of the game changing too much of what was used in terms of gameplay, however, the game managed to surpass the previous ones, it seems that I am playing in a film so beautiful that are the graphics, the scenarios and even the movement of the characters.
    The story doesn't even speak, we look forward to the completion of this journey

    It is a must for anyone who has a PS4 to play God Of War 4.

Эта игра однозначно стоит вашей покупки и ради которой можно и нужно приобрести PlayStation 4, если вы до сих пор этого не сделали.

    I never played any God of War and only looked at Kratos' past story to be up to date for this game.

    The Story is awesome and the Father-Son-relationship really worked surprisingly well. Most characters were very interesting and all seemed to make enough sense to be enjoyable. As mentioned, I haven't played any of the earlier games, but I thought norse mythology was very well connected
    I never played any God of War and only looked at Kratos' past story to be up to date for this game.

    The Story is awesome and the Father-Son-relationship really worked surprisingly well. Most characters were very interesting and all seemed to make enough sense to be enjoyable. As mentioned, I haven't played any of the earlier games, but I thought norse mythology was very well connected to Kratos and vice versa. The humor brought in by the contrast of characters also works very well.

    Also a great soundtrack. The music was often not in the foreground, but when it stood out, it reminded me a lot of the lord of the rings movies, which is pretty damn good.

    The game is obviously gorgeous. Very colorful and shiny. To the point where I personally did not enjoy it as much anymore, because visual clues get lost easily and especially in tough combat situations, sensory overload is a constant problem. But in slow moments I can really appreciate it. Visually, it feels a lot more like a Marvel-movie than it should.

    The combat is fine. I personally think it makes little sense to have a literal, immortal god be killed VERY fast by some undead goons but maybe that's just me. Most enemies are okayish in terms of design and boss battles are largely enjoyable. I definitely think there are some (very) cheap aspects to some enemies/bosses, but never in story/mandatory instances so I don't think it's too big of a deal.

    However, it really feels unresponsive as hell. While animation-cancelling is a thing, they really did not go through with it. Blocking- and Sprinting-inputs are constantly ignored and that's kinda a deal-breaker, especially since they are crucial in terms of how battles are designed.
    There are also red circles that appear around enemies, when an unblockable attack is about to happen. The timing on those is horrible. Sometimes they appear half a second before impact, sometimes 2 seconds before. This really is annoying and enemies tend to "float" towards me mid-attack, which looks horrible.

    Menus are not very intuitive. While it's not an Excel-sheet by any means, I feel like they tried to make it as unappealing as possible. It's not a problem if you want to enjoy the story, but everything apart from that kinda needs gear- and ability-management. Those things are no fun and communication to the player on which effects are useful or not is nonexistent. I mainly stuck to one set of abilities because everything else seemed a huge waste of time.

    The world makes no sense, honestly. While it's really cool to walk Midgard and other places of Norse mythology, the level-design does not follow any kind of "lore"-rules (for lack of a better word). Countless chests with crafting materials everywhere (why are they there?) and crooks and crannies everywhere simply to hide something not worth hiding. While traversing is generally fun (although collecting everything really isn't), you're not allowed to question anything since that'll make it fall apart quickly.
    (link omitted per site rules)

    Overall, I enjoyed the experience greatly, but post-game is just work without any fun and there are weirdly off-putting things, that should be really obvious to game-designers

    Safe to say that this is probably the worst AAA game we’ve had in a while, the characters suck, the story is boring, and the combat is just god awful. Went from a fun hacknslash with an engaging story to this boring rpg wannabe with a boring and forgettable story that takes itself way to serious (a common PlayStation trend) with a **** combat system

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Back when this game was announced during E3 2016 I neither knew what exactly God of War was nor who even Kratos was, confusing me what was happening. When I first saw the gameplay shown during the presentation I absolutely loved what I was seeing. Whatsoever I got this game pretty late, but it was still worth getting. The graphics are amazing, I love the details, e.g. leaving a track on the snow behind. The gameplay is very good, I never got bored of it and could swinging the Leviathanaxe (and calling it back) and *spoiler warning for the next sentences* the holy Blades of Chaos, boy was that a reveal. The thing I loved the most was the plot. It's got so many twists, like Baldur being the son of Freya (aka the Witch of the Woods) or the fact that Atreus is Loki. The dialogue written for this game is very well made, I never got bored listening to Mimir's storys! Now the difficulty. As a simple casual gamer I played the easiest mode. But even the easiest mode holds the greatest challenge of the game: the Valkyries! Absolutely hard, but doable. The hardest difficulty is like that Sony guy said "for people who'd fight a polar bear in boxers".
    The lore is so good that even the shrines you found kept me interested and some side quests were absolutely epic. Let's come to boss fights: many times you'll fight a troll in different skins, which is kinda bad, HOWEVER if you get to the different bosses they're astounding! Fighting dragons, the sons of thor and Baldur of the back on a dragon?! That's amazing! The only negative thing from the game in my eyes was the backtracking but it isn't that big of a problem unless you're a completionist. Talking of completionists 100% this game is very hard, I gave up at some point. Still a nice challenge.
    *I'd also love to mention that the characters in this game are very well written and never feel off. Voice acting is on point, and I LOVE Christopher Judge as Kratos. There's so many things I'd love to talk about but I gotta keep this review "short". GGs to Cory and Santa Monica Studios for making such a bombastic game.

    To end this review I really REALLY recommend trying this game! :)

There really is not much to complain about when it comes to the game. It's just with all the hype around it I expected something much better than a decent title.

    Usually modern games that get this type of hype really stand out for one reason or another. Games like Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Zelda Breath of the Wild, and etc.

    A very nice choice to change the games up and it was perfected in Ragnarok. Story very simple but it's very emotional which is good the plot isn't really crazy either it's just good. Performance is on par with the best. But here comes the bad stuff the lack of vareity in enemies. Troll fights all around and there's way less options in combat we can use.

    Although I never played any GoW franchise before this game, I got hooked by Atreus totally. Would love to play as him in the sequel.
    On the down side, Atreus’s character development feels rushed after he realized he is a God (it is comfirmed by the writers that a large proportion of plot is cut). The grind in Muspleheim and Niflheim is annoying. Wish there are more plot and side quests in these areas.

    Cory Barlog eres el puto amo, este "reinicio" de la saga es simplemente una maravilla. Este Kratos mas maduro es genial y claro, no nos olvidemos de Atreus, un personaje que acompaña de forma perfecta a nuestro heroe espartano.

    Esperamos con ansias la continuacion de esta nueva y epica aventura nordica.

    Gracias por esta obra maestra!

    I think in writing a review it's best to keep in mind what the creators of a project were going for. With God of War they were going for a hack and slash title with spectacular cinematographic sequences. They knocked it out of the park. I don't think the game was particularly innovative, and I didn't get into the combat system as deeply as some, but what I experienced was close-toI think in writing a review it's best to keep in mind what the creators of a project were going for.

I don't think the game was particularly innovative, and I didn't get into the combat system as deeply as some, but what I experienced was close-to perfection, and a standard-setting hack and slash title that should be praised for its achievements.

    Not a perfect game though. Sometimes interacting with enemies and the environment don't work out and end up looking really messed up. Also some more enemy diversity would have been great. But on the plus side the voice acting is great and Kratos actually feels like a character instead of some meathead avatar to beat **** up in a game.

    In my opinion it is the best Play Station 4 game. Worthy of Goty. It has a beautiful, very emotional story, the characters are memorable, and the relationship of Atreus and Kratos is the best. On the other hand, the soundtrack is epic, at the level of "god of war". The combat system is fluid, frantic and with very varied combos. Very fun and exciting.

    Dudé sobre el cambio en el combate, pero es la parte fuerte del título, con muchas de las mejores mecánicas que me he topado en un juego de acción cortesía de la Leviathan Axe. El segundo pilar del título es la relación de Kratos con su hijo Boy, la cual se va formando poco a poco durante la gran aventura, donde Kratos trata como puede de que su hijo no siga los pasos de ira y violencia que él tan bien conoce.

    El sistema pseudo-RPG de armaduras y mejoras está metido con calzador por moda, la trama principal no es tan buena y faltó más variedad de armas. Y ya, es todo lo negativo que puedo decir de God of War, el retorno triunfal de una serie que no me interesaba desde que vi correr los créditos de la tercera entrega.

    God of War es una obra redonda que entrega lo mejor que puede ofrecer el juego tiple A contemporáneo, con una jugabilidad excelente, un desarrollo de personajes entrañable, montones de contenido y unos visuales dignos de la épica característica de la serie. Mi favorito del año hasta el momento y uno de los mejores títulos en el catálogo de la generación.

    First and foremost God of War is a very impressive game to look at and to marvel its technical prowess. But, it's not a game that I ever got completely absorbed by (aside for some brief sequences scattered throughout). The general high praise for it is certainly valid and I am in agreement on the qualities which have given the game its numerous awards and popularity. To start off, althoughFirst and foremost God of War is a very impressive game to look at and to marvel its technical prowess. But, it's not a game that I ever got completely absorbed by (aside for some brief sequences scattered throughout). The general high praise for it is certainly valid and I am in agreement on the qualities which have given the game its numerous awards and popularity. To start off, although this review is 2 years late, the graphics are still much better than those of most games today, if not all but a few. The visuals are beautiful, the way the game moves and feels has pushed the boundaries for games— at the time it came out I probably couldn't name a game that looked and felt more technically polished on a surface level. At first I wasn't much of a fan of the combat as it felt kind of sluggish and monotonous with the introductory enemy encounters, but with more playtime I started to really enjoy and appreciate the level of detail put into fighting as Kratos. What at first seemed a combat design too heavy and slow soon became satisfyingly precise and nuanced-- you can feel the weight and power of Kratos’ axe, which starts feeling great and controlled with repetition, getting practice with all of the movement and timing of Kratos' abilities and whatnot. So the game really gains momentum because of this expanding comfortability with and fun of fighting. The combat is not perfect by any means, however. It can become a little too repetitive with the common enemies that Kratos' faces, but never to the point of annoyance due to how fun it can be to fight any one large group of mythical creatures.
    What was somewhat lacking in the game for me was actually the pace of the whole thing. The story with its Norse mythological ties was interesting and well-implemented into the world for the most part. I enjoyed hearing your talking head of a companion Mímir relate his ties to the Norse gods and mythology. Though the main thread of the game story was a bit weak, or just felt slightly underwhelming in terms of how it carried the game forward. There are many brief intervals of dullness in the game. I'd be uncertain whether to explore some of the outer areas of the world or just continue with the main story. The game's somewhat passive suggestions to explore the realms and go on side quests conflicted with the main story. So this seemed to take away from the immersion into Kratos and Atreus’ personal quest at hand. Why should we go to that place? Just to play a mini game or trial that has no consequence to the story. Albeit these side quests and challenges are generally fun and in that sense they are positive aspects of the game--the Valkyrie fights were one of the highlights of the game. But usually, the optional quests seemed like extra material to stuff in to the game to ensure more playability. More linearity would be good in this case, at least in terms of the player's objective. If more of the exploration were connected with Kratos' and Atreus' journey instead of being optional and seemingly inconsequential, then the game would have been more powerful.
    To conclude this rambling, I definitely want to make clear that God of War is a damn good game. Great in visuals, combat, sound, attention to detail and atmosphere. It does fantastically in bringing Norse mythology to life, often informative and relevant to anyone interested in the ancient lore. I have only played parts of the earlier God War installments, but it doesn't surprise me that this is labeled as the best yet. It is no joke of a game experience. However, it needed more narrative immersion, less of the in-between an open world and cinematic action-adventure, and a stronger conclusion for it to be considered one of the greats of the generation. Though it's still a game that every gamer should definitely try for how fun and seamless the gameplay is and to note the great care and detail put into the surrounding world and lore, even if all the parts don’t come together most effectively.

    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]
