    God of War is a fantastic game with slick combat and an immersive story. Kratos, despite being a god, is surprisingly relatable as character, unlike the previous games. You can get creative with the combat as you level up and unlock more and better moves. The Leveling can feel a bit tacked on and sometimes doesn't feel like it changes anything, but it's minor and has a little affect on theGod of War is a fantastic game with slick combat and an immersive story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is my favorite game of all time. from the very start the combat is fun and diverse with heaps of option with different combos as you go throughout the game. imagine dark souls combat that is fast and fun and isnt clunky. as you get the blades of choas you unlock an entire new half of the combat system you didnt know existed. i sometimes go through the game again just to kill some enemies. i have seen some people complain about the trolls and the same kill finish animations but personally they are so good it doesnt get old.
    the story is complex and deep with a greater meaning behind it so it is always interesting. the ending is just incredible because you find out who atreus really is and the sequal potentiel is just amazing. going through a second time you start to find out all the little hints and knods to the big reveal at the end. this is the only single player game i have played where i got something new out of a second playthrough.
    the game looks amazing and the setting is perfect. however when you put a heap of different effects on enemies like fire and magic it becomes really crazy and messy with frame drops. the charcater models are some of the best i have ever seen up there with tlou. best acting in video gaes as well. the characters sound like real people and they dont sound like they are reading a script and instead feels like they actually mean what they say.
    you kill 3 gods magni modi and balder which are really good boss fights. the other bosses include the dragons, trolls and valkries all being really good fights.
    the valkries deserve their own paragraph. they are one of if not the hardest fights i have ever done. 2 and a half hours to kill sigrun (the final valkrie). they are all unique with their attacks and they arent damage sponges and you are constantly on the edge because they are about to kill you.
    the soundtrack is incredible. they fit the setting and are all really powerful. they are only used in times when it is right and i really like them even though they are in old norse.
    overall this game is an easy masterpeice. there arent any major issues and this game deserved goty. as soon as i completed the game i played it a second time. it is only 25 (AUD) and is a bargain for what it is. i promise you wont get bored and it is a mustbplay for not just ps4 owners but for all gamers.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the God of War series and The Last of Us, I was really excited for God of War, and seeing the many perfect score reviews come in made me drop everything to get it at launch. I knew this game would be different, and seemed really cool. Well, I was disappointed... a lot.

    The premise seems interesting, where Kratos ventures to a mountain with his son, Atreus. They clearly take a page out of The Last of Us' book, but this is much worse. Neither of the two are as likable as Joel or Ellie, and their relationship does not develop as well either. I don't want to sound like I'm comparing too much to another game, but since they clearly used the other game as an inspiration, it's hard not to. It is cool how the game is all in one take, instead of having separate cutscenes, and their are some interesting side characters, but overall the story is not that great or even close to as epic as the older GoW games.

    I thought that the graphics were great, with several beautiful environments and moments, and the voice acting and sound design was excellent as well.

    Now then, the gameplay. I didn't like it, at all. The combat is clunky and dull, where you have very limited weapons and fight repetitive enemy types numerous times. You mainly use one weapon, an axe, but it gets really really old to slash enemies with it, throw it, and do the same finishing moves over and over again. The boss fights aren't that great or exciting, either. I honestly felt like the combat was like the Witcher or Dark Souls, but more boring and repetitive, reminding me of an early PS3 game.There are some complex puzzles, new for a series, that are relatively fun.    … Expand

    A beautifully rendered game ruined by horribly boring combat system and unengaging story. It’s just a grind. Even basic enemies take a ludicrous amount of slashing which really starts to wear thin. Hardly any variation. Then in boss fights/cutscenes you can pick up trees and throw people through buildings etc. But it takes forever to dispatch a basic enemy.

    A technological achievement. The combat is very fun, and the game can be hard as hel if you turn up the difficulty or encounter a certain enemy type early on. The story is very engaging, and I was completely immersed in its tale of how Kratos learns how to become a father, while his son learns how to be a god. This is a must play for anyone.

    Overrated game.

    It is not a masterpiece, but is a great game nonetheless. If the protagonist was not Kratos, the game would be just another one, but putting him in the game does not make the game any better.

    Absolutely the best game I have ever played. No game has ever, nor will it most likely ever again hold my attention like this game did. To the point where I've platinumed the game, TWICE. I can honestly attest to the fact that this game is nothing short of a masterpiece in every single sense of the word.

    God Of War is in my opinion one of the best Playstation 4 exclusive games out there. The tone is much different than its predecessors and the gameplay is fun and engaging.

The tone is much different than its predecessors and the gameplay is fun and engaging. The story and the way Kratos and Atreus build their relationship until the final climax is truly remarkable. I would prefer if there were more bosses, but ,while not being many, the bosses are very good and fun with much variety excluding some ogres. I have one problem though, the enemies are very repetitive and not that interesting. Still, despite its flaws the game is very-well crafted with much detail being put on to it. Cory Barlog did an amazing job with showing how Kratos wants his son not to become this angry, simple-minded person that his father once was. The game gives many references to the other games and respects their role in building this franchise. I'm not saying that the other GOW games are not good, they are excellent games with fantastic set pieces, but this games takes that and goes a step further by being a mindblowing single-player experience with many more power-ups and gameplay mechanics.… Expand

    It's really satisfying. I wonder what will happen next. The only thing that caught my eye in this game was the main enemies. However, thanks to the satisfying combat system, they are not that frustrating as they progress.

    God of war is brilliant game with its amazing story, stunning graphics, awesome boss battles, varied gameplay and very good level design. My only issues with it are the lack of replay value due to it occasionally being very linear, the really close up camera that can't be changed and the lack of item variety (especially compared to previous GOW titles).

    I have played this game 5 times and only loved it more with each playthrough. This game radiates quality and care because of the incredible team and Santa Monica Studio. To think that we’ve only scratched the surface of norse mythology since this was primarily a father-son story is absurd. I absolutely love this game and can not wait for more.

    The gameplay is so satisfying. From the combat, which at first may appear quite shallow, is actually deep and never gets tired. I've played through multiple times and am about to embark again on PS5 - it never gets old. The combat is also backed up with great exploration and thoughtful puzzles to balance it out and give a moment of respite. Great pacing.

    The graphics are incredible. We are past the point where pixel counting is important and the sheer artistry and skill on display from the developers is evident in every frame. Big shout out to all the team at Sony Santa Monica for this breath taking experience that can't be forgotten.

    The soundtrack, from Bear McCreary, is meaty and memorable, ramping up to epic when you want it to yet delicate and heartfelt for the (many) moments that deserve it.

    The story, backed up with the wonderful writing and voice acting just ties everything together. There was some noise when Kratos' voice actor was replaced and that Kratos was now a dad changing the character irrevocably. These decisions are entirely vindicated, it is a better game and story for both.

    Christopher Judge nails a more mature Kratos and works so well Sunny Suljic as Atreus. They are admirably backed up with the comedy relief and light hearted banter of Alastair Duncan as Mimir. So many journeys I just waited to in the canoe to hear him finish another gripping tale.

    Pure artistry in every department. Can't wait for Raganarok!    … Expand

    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]
