    This game is almost perfect, and by far the best game I've played so far.
    The combat is great, the graphics and landscapes are awesome and you could watch them for minutes and be amazed by the details and the combinations of colors they've chose.
    The story is so good, because of the way Kratos bonds his non-existent relation with his son Atreus. The plot twist is awesome and makes you wanna play the next game that will appear in this series.
    This is such a great game and it is a must play.

La jugabilidad puede ser un poco complicada al principio (en el sentido de que en las entregas anteriores se usaba el cuadrado para atacar, pero aquí se usa el R1) pero te acostumbras rápido.
    Me gustó la idea de que sea un mundo semi-abierto, ya que hay mas cantidad de cosas que puedes realizar (encontrar armaduras, subir de nivel, exploración, etc.). Me gustó la ambientación a la mitología nórdica, sinceramente no me lo esperaba.
    En resumen, el juego en ningún momento me pareció aburrido, ya que hay combates constantes y actividades por hacer. Es un titulo que recomiendo 100%, si no jugaste las entregas anteriores (también recomiendo jugarlas), no hay problema, durante el juego vas descubriendo parte del pasado de Kratos

    My first God of War game and I really enjoyed it. Great story line with excellent characters and acting. Some really funny moments as well as emotional and dramatic sequences.

    Good mixture between linear gameplay and some more sandbox elements. Combat system is fun and follows a logical progression as you develop through the game, introducing new moves and options rather than being overwhelming from the start. I also found the weapon and armour systems straightforward enough which is a big positive for me.

    It does a good job of being very easy to pick up and play from your first session rather than having a huge learning curve, which I personally find to be a big problem with a lot of games, where you need to play for 10+ hours before you really start enjoying them. This wasn't a problem at all with God of War.

    Some of the collectables got a bit boring at the end but obviously you could give these a miss.

    Overall, really good game and I'll look forward to the next one.

    AN HARDCORE GAMER'S REVIEW!

    God of War PS4 or may I say God of War reboot is the most intricate, compelling and engaging game I have ever played in my life time as a gamer. I have owned the playstation for almost 2 decades now and it's safe to say that sony really did hit the jackpot with this franchise with the way things are going, but not because of its sales nooo.. I'm talking about its core mechanics, its lore, the whole cast that was hired to take part in this reboot, they couldnt have been more perfect for their roles.

    The game does a great job at keeping you engaged throughout the whole playthrough making every moment count, meaningful.

    I played God of War PS4 for 6-9 hours every day since release. I know you're probably wondering right now as to why? When the game only offers around 5 - 8 hours gameplay to complete the full story..

    Well at first in its early days of being released, it turned out that a lot of folks were disappointed with the combat aspect of the game as it changed drastically being a reboot.. the devs had chosen the over the shoulder camera angle for the players view and the combat system had completely been changed.

    My mission being a DIE HARD God of War fan was to try and push this new game mechanics to its full potential! Whilst everyone rushed to complete the games story, I was patient and stayed at specific locations were I could battle enemies over and over again until I finally gotten hold of the games combat mechanics. From what the people were saying back then.. that Kratos felt SLOW, my Kratos in the other hand was rapid and brutal. This is because I spent some time learning a few techniques to make the gameplay more compelling and cinematic for the viewer, also did I forget to mention I have a YouTube Channel (named GBG) you can see this for yourself and tell me what you think.

    People started to notice this and quickly began to appreciate the game a lot more, so they began to watch my tutorial videos and everyone and I

    The characters are excellently written, all credit to the writers. That includes the supporting characters, such as Mimir's head. Freya, or the dwarven blacksmiths.

    The gameplay itself is simply excellent and keeps the player incredibly entertained. It's almost addictive. Again, I have to give a shout out to the combat with Atreus.

    As far as the graphics go, the game is charming and the setting in which the game takes place easily draws you into the story. The game runs seamlessly on the PS5 console. I didn't experience a single bug or crash during my playthrough of the game.

Consegue ao mesmo tempo dar continuidade a lenda de Kratos (agradando os veteranos que acompanham a saga desde GOW I no PS2) e também é um jogo fechado em si mesmo fazendo que um jogador não familizariado com a saga consiga acompanhá-lo com tranquilidade. Parametros do jogo:
    - Lore/história: Muito boa. Após esgotar as possibilidades na mitologia grega, Kratos migra ao norte e começa a se relacionar com a mitologia nórdica. Sendo esta muito popular e presente no dia a dia ocidental, o que facilita a empatia e sentimento de familiaridade por parte do jogador. Trama com reviravoltas, emoções fortes, questionamentos filosóficos, problemas que assolam a humanidade tanto num mundo fantasy de mitologia como hoje na vida real. Um jogador atento pode tirar muitos assuntos para se debater contemporamente extraindo do jogo.
    - Personagens: Muito bom. Todos os personagens principais são bem trabalhados e se não foram serão na continuação do mesmo. Vemos mudanças de comportamento face a novos fatos, amadurecimento e reflexão dos personagens. Personagens profundos que nos atingem mesmo num mundo fantasy. Destaque para Kratos que começou a envelhecer e parece compreender que muitas ações explosivas que teve no passado geraram consequencias terríveis para si mesmo para as pessoas ao seu redor e tenta não seguir os mesmos passos.
    - Jogabilidade: muito boa. Passou de um "hack and slash" puro para uma versão mista de RPG com hack and slash. Tal mistura foi bem executada e consegue trazer a complexidade de escolhas de UP de um RPG com a variabilidade de um hack and slash. Upgrade em relação ao GOW anteriores.
    - Gráficos: muito bons. Utiliza do potencial do PS4 e produz gráficos magníficos tanto nos personagens como no ambiente. Um grau de detalhes digno de vida real.

    Me surpreendeu positivamente já que "ressuscitar" franquias finalizadas tendem ao fracasso (conseguir $$ baseado na nostalgia das pessoas). Se for ressuscitar franquias é assim que deve ser feito.

    So,talking about God Of War-it is my very first game on PS4. At the first 30 minutes of playing, i thought it was just usual game with nothing interesting and attractive in it.But then ,i was fully caught up in it. It has memorable and well-made world,main characters and good-looking locations.I recommend it everybody to play.This game is very great and i think i will replay it one day.

I was also a bit overwhelmed by the combat system. There are so many different moves and it's hard to remember them all, but i guess that's only needed at the hardest difficulty. Still, apart from that, I don't know of the game could be improved.

    This change was apparently fresh and had a positive effect on perfection.
    Despite many changes, their unique production gave us tremendous fun And the graphics were also beautiful.
    They applied various games to the game and after careful consideration, a beautiful game came out.
    But there were also disadvantages.
    Overall, they were too dependent on directing, and there were too few types of enemies.
    These two shortcomings are the problem of having few memorable moments after the game is over.
    And even though it is a game between a linear story game and an open world, it is regrettable that free adventure is limited because the place where you can go is blocked by level.
    But all these shortcomings were so impressive and funny that they looked small.
    The perfection was also enormous.
    Therefore, I think it is enough game to invest time in this game.
    I will give 9 points to this game.

    This is probably the "funnest" game I have ever played. The world is so vibrant and gargantuan, and the setting so creative and unique, that it transports you to another universe where you can forget about the troubles of the real world.

The world is so vibrant and gargantuan, and the setting so creative and unique, that it transports you to another universe where you can forget about the troubles of the real world. Even though the story does a great job of teaching a human like yourself to empathize with an immortal god, it doesn't do quite the same heart wrenching that a story like the TLOU can do with real human characters. That doesn't mean that there isn't great character development and some truly heart breaking scenes, this story does the best it possibly can to allow the player relate to characters that are gods. I felt a little bit like the story was driven more by the setting than by character development or lore. It felt a little like a series of fetch quests with the main purpose of showing you a cool new arena. Which by the way, the environments in the game are truly the most creative, jaw dropping scenes in any game I have ever played. But I would have appreciated a more thought out, and outlined story line, where each mission had a more critical lesson for the character development. That being said, the character development here is still masterful, maybe not TLOU status, still better than most games even touch. And the game play is definitely epic and challenging. I normally don't like hack and slash type games, but this game is a perfect blend of technique and mechanics. You are given new skills in a digestible manor, and when you learn to use them in the correct sequence, it doesn't feel like button mashing at all, but a coordinated dance. I really appreciate a game that does not have perma-death, or make recollect all of your fallen items, but still can feel challenging, and make death feel meaning full. Ever challenging new opponent you face makes you want to train more, become for efficient, learn better combos, and master the axe like a true God of War. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a sequel to God of War 3, but you can enjoy it a lot without knowing anything about it or what came before, except that I recommend playing at least some other God of War to at least get a sense of who Kratos was in the past. I played the first, the third and the Ghost of Sparta (PSP).

    The story of the game is very simple, especially the first 70% (out there). But the creative way the missions are executed, like Atreus and Kratos and their relationship changes constantly and the excellent gameplay keeps you entertained. In addition, the dialogues of the characters and mythology also contribute to this. The prologue of the story is quite good, thanks to the unexpected boss battle. After Atreus' disease manifested and Kratos told him that he is a God, the story takes some more unexpected paths and the story started to please me a lot more, there are up to 2 very reasonable twists (and they are "doubles"), that of Baldur's mother being Freya (and the weakness revealed) and Atreus's mother being a giant and having 'predicted' and perhaps even manipulated everything (and Atreus being Loki). The way they tied Baldur's weakness in the story was cool, but from a script analysis point of view I found it a bit weak, it was too much 'coincidence' for my taste, although the twist was cool, I could have done it differently.
    After Atreus discovers that he is a God, the ways it influences gameplay is quite interesting.
    Another thing is that now there is a lapse of years in the history of the franchise that we do not know what happened, I hope you will focus on that and Kratos' ex-wife in the next game besides Ragnarok. And as the writer has already prepared 2 sequences, there are several things that were left open (mysteries), if you have patience it might be more worth waiting for this trilogy to be completed.

    Combat is ultra simple at first. But it is gaining a lot of depth and getting more fun, I just wanted a little more combos. This is kind of personal, but I thought it has very few endings, damn God of War, one of the most remarkable things in this franchise with so little explored potential (the ones it has are great, just for the record). Good skill tree. The equipment evolution system is also very rich. Runes and rune attacks should progress better. You are rewarded for exploring, but some rewards are horrible. The game has a fully open exploration area, which then expands even further as the story progresses, very interesting, there are many who love it. There are many variations of enemies, but they change so little from each other, I really didn't like this "type" of variation very much (this even happens with some bosses unfortunately). Another aspect is that this game is full of puzzles, and they are good and add to the experience in general. But ahead there are some enemies that are literally boring to kill, you can call it difficulty but I call it evil game design. Anyway, in general I loved the gameplay.

    When I started the game I was a little surprised by the scenarios (I don't know why), but it really is very beautiful. And even more impressive are the loadings, which are phenomenal fast (for PS4). Overall very good level design.

    Above average soundtrack that adds to the experience, but little used mainly during gameplay. This has good and bad points. The bad part is that 70% of the game barely has a soundtrack and the good thing is that the moments you have are more remarkable because you practically never listen to it. Besides it is very little varied.

    Secret Ending I only recommend to see after the release of the next God of War, because it will make you too hypado.

    Barbed Kratos is another man.

    This was my first God of War game I have ever played, so before I started I tried to do a little research to get caught up. So I know bits and pieces of the series' lore, but this review is mostly coming from a new GoW player.

    Graphics/Editing: 10/10
    Filled with beautiful vistas and exotic effects throughout, this game truly exceeded my expectations. The single-take transitions between cut scenes and gameplay is an excellent element that was excecuted flawlessly. There are a few scenes that with the right sound system and TV setup, will leave your house shaking and your mouth agape. The first boss battle alone is some of the best editing I've seen in a video game.

    Narrative: 9/10
    There's an emotional and effective story being told here. Yes, the "escort-your-companion-to-XYZ" style gameplay is very popular today, and some will even say it's overused. But I think it works really well here. The characters are driven toward their goal within good reasoning, and I think the ending pays off what we're building towards well enough. And there are certainly some emotional elements incorporated that will hit you right in the feels.

    Protagonists: 10/10
    Kratos is one bad m*****f*****! The dynamic between him and Atreus certainly captured my interest early on. Sometimes their banter may get a little repetitive, but I think it drives a certain point that eventually pays off in the end. The canoe conversations are a real treat too.

    Characters/Interactions: 10/10
    There are some really great supporting characters in this game that provide some real emotional swells. There's some great comedic relief amidst some of the side quests, along with some real tear-jerker moments more centered towards the main plot. I don't think any important character was wasted, which can be such an easy mistake when making (kind of) an open world game.

    Villain(s): 9/10
    The main villain in the game has an electric presence in every single scene and/or battle. The performance is truly an A+. A lot of the game's most shocking moments come from encounters with him (i'll mention that awesome first battle scene again here).

    Gameplay: 10/10
    This is where I've noticed I disagree with a lot of people. After spending a few minutes reading reviews, I see the gameplay and combat getting a lot of negative comments. I would have to disagree. I thought that the combat in this game was among the best I had ever seen. It's fluid, it's versatile, and it's just god damn satisfying. I was impressed with the variety of different moves you could unlock, and as you improve it only gets better and better. I never once thought, "Man this combat is super repetitive and boring" like a lot of the comments I've been reading. But maybe that's just me.

    All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed God of War from start to finish. If I had one gripe about it, I'd say that the "open world" set up is kind of clunky. After finishing the main storyline, I tried to explore a bit to finish some of the side quests and collectibles, but lost interest pretty quickly.

    Overall Score: 9.5/10

    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]
