    The best word to describe this game is "grandeur." It takes the phrase "go big or go home" to heart.

Not in just the combat but in the environment as well which is arguably the most stunning feature of this game. I can confidently say that I've never experienced a game with as much lore connected with its environment. There are grandiose statues everywhere which all have stories to tell and reasons why they are there. Even some of the creatures have an enormous sense of scale. It felt like I was really immersed in the world of Norse mythology.

    The characters are all unique and enthralling. Even just standing around or riding in my boat had me engaged in the conversations that everyone was having. This, mixed with the environment, made the story immersive. Don't go into this expected an oscar-worthy script but, nevertheless, it delivers on the feeling and emotion behind the father-son relationship.

    While the battles and cinematography felt amazing, there were some animations that soon became stale. Specifically, the execution animations, and especially for trolls. I really wish they could've come up with a few more execution animations to keep things interesting. Additionally, I delved into the harder difficulty (not the "give me god of war" difficulty) and was sadly greeted with the classic sponge mechanic. The game is harder just because the enemies have more health. You don't feel nearly as lethal as on the "balanced" difficulty. If they had left enemy health untouched but made their damage more lethal, then I think the hard difficulty would've been more engaging.

    Aside from this, I thoroughly enjoyed this game and believe it to be the defining game of the PS4. It will stand as an example for all semi-linear story games to come.    … Expand

    This was an excellent reinvention for the God of War franchise. Kratos has developed so much as a character from God of War 3, and the game did an excellent job of building up the new setting that he now finds himself in. I can't wait to see what is going to happen next in the series.

The introduction of Mimir and Atreus has made the previous games feel lonely and the move to Norse Mythology is also a bit of a twisted hero move as Thor and Odin are pure evil here. The new trio of characters and the brand new style with both a beautiful world and story has truly shown that this game is worthy of 2018's GOTY… Expand

There is still a lot to do after you finish the games with the Valkyries which all are pretty different and unique, the huldra brother's amazing side quests and muselpheim challenges. The game gives good rewards for completing side quests. (I can say this as I couldn't finish some battles near the mountain without finishing some side quests in Give Me God Of War).
    This game has a lot of touching moments with Atreus as he matures and reminds you of your childhood. Cory Barlog best says it "Kratos teaches Atreus how to be a god, and Atreus teaches Kratos to be human again". This is not only evident in the main story but with all the side quests you do. This game also keeps you interested in the story and Norse mythology whenever you are realm travelling or riding a boat. The one-shot camera and he amazingly fast realm and fast travels without loading screens shows it's technical greatness. Overall, there is a reason it won GOTY and it's sequel is more hyped than the legend of Zelda sequel. Proud to say this was the first game I played on my PS4.    … Expand

    One of the greatest reinventions of a franchise in gaming history. This game has the best direction in a game ive ever seen, the "no cut" camera work was the best decision that director Cory Barlog could have made for the narrative. Game play wise it is another stellar reinvention in the closer 3rd person perspective and much more visceral hard hitting combat.

Graphically is very nice, sound is nice and the combat mechanics are awesome, just you wish that there were more combat encounters, Also valkyries should not be optional bosses, they are actually the best thing in the entire game. Story is missing goal, its childish excuse to kill all those people, gods, monsters just because your wife told you to go on top of some mountain. The difference between a god of war and just a warrior is just like that, with great power comes the great responsibility, he just not acting like one should be. And the example he is giving to his son is just terrible, game should be rated just for that for over 18s. In god of war 3 you were killing them, because they took everything from you, your wife, your kids. Here seems that you just enjoy killing people you have nothing in common with.… Expand

    Darn near perfect storytelling. I recommend checking out the Myths and Legends podcast before diving in to hear some good Norse stories if you aren't familiar with Norse mythology; its worth it to pick up on some of the "Easter eggs" and foreshadowing if you want to really get invested in the story. Visuals, graphics, combat, acting, and story are exceptional.

    God of War is without doubt one of the games of the generation. I've played through it several times now and have yet to tire of it. It's also without doubt one of the best looking games of this gen.

    Moving away from the linear style of play of its predecessors, GoW adopts a more open style that allows you to branch away from the story and explore the Norse world. It's not strictly an open world but more like the latest Tomb Raider games but this approach works perfectly for GoW.

    On the surface, combat feels a bit dumbed down from previous versions. Combos are largely gone now but in there place their place you equip runes to your weapons that gives Kratos different abilities. This opens up various different possibilities for how to approach combat from being an offensive powerhouse, a defensive brick wall, a user of elemental power or just a well rounded fighter. This is all helped further by being able to chose what armor set suits your playstyle as well as being able to attach enhancements to further power up Kratos. You can also use Atrues to cause further damage to your enemies with a couple of power ups of his own. All of this actually goes to make the combat system in GoW the most in depth of the series to date.

    The GoW story is also one of the best told stories I have encountered in a video game possible only bettered by The Last of Us. It might not be the most imaginative, basically being the story of Kratos coming to terms with his past whilst trying to bond with his son Atreus, but the manner in which it is told keeps it interesting throughout the games 20-30 hour playing time with a good variety of humor and dark moments thrown in throughout. The motion captured acting is also fantastic, especially from Jeremy Davies whose performance as Baldur steals pretty much every scene he's in.

    God of War is a fantastic game and should be on every PS4 owners list of games to play.    … Expand

    One of the best games on PS4. Technically, it's incredible. The nordic mythology's setting, graphics, soundtrack and mechanics... Also, I think Santa Monica made a risky decision changing this game from a hack n' slash to what it is and after playing it, I can say it's the best God of War I played.

    Capolavoro da parte di Santa Monica Studious, che ti catapulta in un'avventura mozzafiato con una storia ed un comparto artistico senza eguali. Gioco consigliato.

    This game is pretty much a masterpiece and one of the best games of this generation. It is different than past GoW installments, but that is a good thing and the change was needed. In a world of online multiplayer and loot chasing, its nice to see single player games like this still being made. Don’t miss out on this one.

    I really don’t get the hype?! I just got it on ps plus for free and the game is beyond annoying! I rather watch god of war “the movie” . Kratos can’t jump neither can he climb? Are you kidding me?! The combat system is very confusing and lame . Also your “son” is very annoying he won’t be quiet.The old god of war games are definitely better.

    I ve finished the game and i still feel like i miss God of war.
    the only good thing is Graphic.
    Gameplay is weaker than previous games.it dosent give you than intensity.
    Music is just Average.
    Story is very regular and simple.
    I think they tried to use t.l.o.u formula but it did not pay.
    It s Not that good

    God of War tells a wonderful tale through a beautiful spectrum speckled with more than a few drops of the blood of your enemies. It’s a shame, then, that boss fights have fallen by the wayside at every level to become terribly monotonous – but if that’s the cost of what Santa Monica has built, it’s certainly a price worth paying.

    iv been a god of war fan since the first game, iv played all the primary games, iv only played the first psp game when it comes to the secondary games

    this game does not deserve the 10/10s nor the 94/100 critics gave it, i would give this game 79/100 why? because the previous GOW games are much better than this one, there are also other current gen games of the same genre that are    iv been a god of war fan since the first game, iv played all the primary games, iv only played the first psp game when it comes to the secondary games

    what i like in the game?
    the superb graphics,
    the narration,
    the new kratos design,
    some boss designs,
    dragon designs,
    the scenery
    the flashbacks and blasts from the past,
    valkiryes

    what i dont like

    the level design and level selection mechanism:
    having to go through the same main hub and slow level selection over and over again gets old and breaks the immersion

    useless sidequests:
    what else is there to say, all of them are boring

    palette swaps:
    is this 16 bit era? why so cheap sony? fighting the same bosses 100x with different names and color variantion in a "first party blockbuster, console selling game" is ridiculous! fighting and encountering the same "unknown" boss multiple times is not helping the case neither!
    this smells like sony greed if you ask me!

    fight mechanics:
    in one word its unintuitive
    compared to other current gen games, and even previous gen games, this one is mediocre at best, of course GOW was never known to have a rich fighting system, but it used to be fun (and brutal lol)

    with that said, i think it has potential, if they improve and correct it the right way for the next game that is

    i truly hope they kill it with the next game, same way gow2 improved on gow1, if sony permits it with a higher budget, its feasble, potential is not whats lacking

    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.
