    Don't you dare skip this game! It's truly a fantastic game! It is a reboot (one of the best i've seen) reconstructing a world and story to become its one thing but remaining true to its foundations.

It is a reboot (one of the best i've seen) reconstructing a world and story to become its one thing but remaining true to its foundations.
    Phenomenal open world with an interesting linear story. If you have to compare it to other games, well if you enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn, the Last of Us and Dark Souls, you will enjoy this game. It takes the best of all those tree games. GoW's strongest feature is the gameplay. The fighting mechanics are amazing that gradually give you new options and skills to learn. There's also puzzle-solving areas that are all different and fun to do and some exploring areas that are very rewarding. The world, scenery, and graphics are some of the best in PS4.
    Now in a scale of 1-10, its unfair to give is a 9. This game knows what it is and hits every mark. For what is out there its clearly one of the best with room for improvement. Because of that its a 10/10 game.
    Now taking a more critical approach, I personally give it a 9.4. Why? Well there are some things that it could improve. I wish it had more finishing moves and animations when you killed an enemy, it felt repetitive after a while. Also some boss battles where a bit repetitive, with the exception of the Valkyries. The ending or final battle fell short, it didn't seem complete (story wise). More like an ending of a chapter than of a book. Still great but there were other battles in the game that were more memorable. So, it needs to add different bosses, different (or more) animations, and a to polish the story a bit more. But you can tell there is so much left to tell, saving it for the next installment.
    Over all, even in 2020, this is still one of the best PS4 games out there no doubt. You can't miss it.    … Expand

    Without any doubts this is the best story in all God of war games. One of the best game ever. Amazing fantasy world that is just a joy to explore. But to be honest I didn't really liked the hub area and fact that we must return to same place every time. After all it is a masterpiece in terms of every aspect. Must play definitely.

    One of the best-looking games so far, it really shows the capabilities of the PS4 and PS4 Pro, really pushing them to the limits. Even if it's so demanding, the game never showed any frame drops as far as I noticed even when played on Enhanced Resolution Mode on PS4 Pro.

Even if it's so demanding, the game never showed any frame drops as far as I noticed even when played on Enhanced Resolution Mode on PS4 Pro.
    Apart from that, this game differs much from previous GOW titles. This time we don't only have great combat and puzzle solving, but also a great story where we have the opportunity to see Kratos as a completely different person. We see that Kratos decided to change himself and tried to escape from the past, but it's easier said than done.
    The game gives you a great story, maybe a little bit short but a sweet one. There were some times the story practically seemed to reach the end, but suddenly, something happens, which I liked, as I than knew the story isn't over yet.
    The combat system is improved of course, drastically improved. You spend experience points in order to get new moves and new abilities. You upgrade or buy new gear both for Kratos and Atreus, at some point, you will realize while exploring that some enemies are stronger and here comes the part when you will have to spend some time upgrading your gear.

    All in all, a great story, fantastic combat system, beautiful graphics, maybe the best-looking game so far. The game gives you a solid +50 hours of gameplay, both thrilling and memorable (completing side-quests, finding collectibles and beating bosses included)    … Expand

    Providing a 10/10 does not mean that I think the game is perfect but as someone who achieved the platinum trophy and the two unique shields for completing on God of War mode, I can assure you that this game was as close to perfect as it could be for me.

    An incredible story supported by rich character development, engaging game play and a stunning world. This a masterpiece of a game that deserves all the high praise it receives. The only reason I have given it a score 9 and not 10 is that I felt the game needed more boss fights as oppose to the semi-boss troll fights.

    This an average game at best you fight the same boss like 15 times 2 different ones repeated the valks&trolls. Graphics look good but the gameplay is very repetitive cant skip past foes even if your back tracking to an old area which you do alot of, theres only like 4 real boss fights the rpg mechanics are basically useless cause no matter how much you upgrade your gear it wont get better

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me preface this review with a bit of information. I cannot stand the first three god of war titles. I absolutely without a shadow of a doubt HATED them. To be fair I was never a fan of the greek mythos, but it just seemed like and edgy boi being and edgy boi. I understood the premise in the first game, which is why I played it. My interest was nearly zero after it, it's ending seemed to completely conclude itself and story. Then suprise! GOW 2, this time it's personal.

    sigh. ok i'll play it. Didn't really need this, kinda **** on the ending of gow but whatever, nothing really special here, more of the same. Don't really enjoy it. Friends are hyping it, everywhere is hyping it. Not hyped. Angry boi is angry.

    GOW 3 This time it's 3 more times as personal than the last two times.

    Oooooh boy. well it looked better, and they did add a few new things, gutting enemies was pretty neat. Really enjoyed pounding zeus face in. The ending was cringe as **** "Hope was inside pandoras box" oh my ****ing god please just stop now. Then Cringetos commits unalive but suprise he isn't unalived.

    or is he? or... isnt he? dun dun duuuuuun.

    Terrible. would not play again.

    See that new GOW is on the horizon, uh oh. see Cringtos is older noticeably. hmm. see that there is a little kid who undoubtedly is blessed with LITTLE KID POWER (henceforth referred to as lkp) ugh. See that it is set in norse mythos. DON"T YOU ****ING DARE. DON'T YOU MESS UP THE GREATEST MYTHOS IN THE WORLD (subjective and opinion based i know) this is how i felt. Extremely worried.

    I bought it. I love norse mythos, but i was also deeply afraid of what they would do to it. I avoided ALL GAMEPLAY before buying it. Avoided any leaks. I wanted my own opinion surprised this one time. (rare for me)

    I beat the game. I did it all. I fought ALL the Valkyries WAAAAAAY under-leveled. I mean i was rocking crap gear, hardly any health, i should not have done what i did when i did it. I fought Gondul when i was rocking at lvl 5 (its more of a gear rating if i think about it) point is, i did not have a lot of anything. Each loss made me better, and boy, she ****ed me up a lot. But every battle less and less, until i had her down, i beat her as she beat me. Like a little **** It was beyond satisfying.

    Let me stop here for a moment and let me say this, Cringtos is no more, now he is Kratos, he has also put away the edgelord blades of professor chaos in favor of wielding something mythos appropriate and bad ass, the leviathan axe. I love it. I cannot express how awesome it truly is. wanna go hand to hand, can do, wanna use leviathan axe, can do, wanna shield bash an enemies teeth out the back of their skull? can do. wanna use the cringe blades of cringe... ok...(you have to for certain things, i avoided using them on anything other than puzzle specific blocks, yup, i killed the dead Frost hel denizens with my fists over those ****ing cringe blades, i hate them so much)

    lets talk a bit about graphics. MWUAH, love em

    lets talk about control, MWUAH love it

    Lets talk about the world, it's more open than any of the games before it, and that does it a huge favor in my opinion, there are side missions/quests put about that you dont have to do, but are definitely worth doing, you can chase them at your pace. you don't have to fight the Valkyrie, but if you do, oh boy is is rewarding and worth it. test your mettle, do it.

    gameplay links to control, i was satisfied with it, i only didn't enjoy the forced use of the cringe of cringe, that was disappointing to me.

    Story. Kratos is now Kratos and not Cringtos lord of the edge. He done a big oof and grown up. Matured. Found a wife and sired a son. One whom he has a fragile, delicate, distant relationship with. One whom he seems terrified to get too close too, but set on ensuring will know how to live, survive and one day, become a man. The love is there, the emotions that are a mixture swirl within him, yet he keeps them at bay, fear of who he once was creating this large block. Kratos is a god, a god from another place. Here in this foreign land where he has sought a new beginning his powers weakened to a degree.

    The depth, maturity and growth of Kratos instantaneously caused a 180 for me on my opinion of GOW, i experienced his angst, his anger, his rage There was sorrow there too, but it was overcome with the previous emotions that there was truly no appreciation in it. not like this. i never got to see kratos try to be anything more than the monsters he was chasing and killing. Now we inject humanity and wisdom that comes with age and experience. Humbling and so ****ing satisfying.

    there may be a sequel in the works, i wont spoil any key elements here suffice to say that this story did well, beyond well. This superseded my expectations in every way. I hope the sequel does not **** up and continues with this amazing new path.    … Expand

    El reto es notable. Jugando en "difícil" el juego te reta a usar combinaciones de habilidades para poder vencer a ciertos enemigos, y sobre todo a las Valkirias, que sin duda son enemigos comparables a jefes de los juegos Souls.

    La historia es increíblemente fuera de estereotipos fomentados por Series como Vikingos o Thor de Marvel, lo que creas saber sobre la mitología nórdica, será abordado de otra forma en este título. Olvídate de un Thor como lo conoces, o de un Odín como "Padre" de todo.

    This is a great game with a great story. It has good but not great gameplay. The lore around it is very good, and it has great character. The graphics are amazing. My one complaint is that I wish there were more huge beast bosses. But the game is amazing and a top ten of of the last decade.

    I finally got the chance to play it after two years of release. I hadn't played the earlier games, so I wasn't sure what I was getting into. However, I must say that it's as good as everyone said it would be.

    Kratos seems to be much older than the earlier games, and through the game gets to bond with his son, aka Boy (Atreus). I found it hilarious the way he'd call Atreus "Boy" and    I finally got the chance to play it after two years of release. I hadn't played the earlier games, so I wasn't sure what I was getting into.

    En cuanto a lo negativo, la repetitividad. Para ser un juego basado en la pelea cuerpo a cuerpo, los enemigos tienen pocas mecánicas, cada enemigo tiene 3 o 4 ataques o menos que repetirán, y hay poca variedad de estos. Los bosses, repitiendo la fórmula de los combates normales (pocos tipos de ataques y pocas mecánicas) son, tal vez, un poco decepcionantes, pudiendo hacer los combates un tanto aburridos. Aunque todo esto, lo puede suplir Kratos y sus impresionantes combos.

Besides, the final scene with Atreus and Kratos is just beautiful and touching, I couldn't hate that boy in that moment. The story is that involving and amazing, with a human and real Kratos.

I never played any other GOW game and I understand some possible backlash it might get for not being like the rest of the series, but I honestly think this is a good addition and an awesome way to introduce Atreus. I already want to replay the game!

    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]
