    Wow Santa Monica studios. I did not expect this type of epic gaming experience.

    Incredible game. Impressive visuals and story. Combat is easy to pick up, but very deep if you want to get really into it. Great sense of a massive world filled with colorful and interesting characters. Definitely one of the best PS4 games.

    First of all I think this is the best God of War game "SO FAR". With this new implemented rpg elements that they added makes the game a masterpiece. With the environment, characters, and especially with the dialogues that sometimes can make you laugh and remember some scene from the previous games cause of the references.

There is no need to talk about the music, the voice action or anything like that, this came from sony santa monica, we know it's gonna be perfect.
    What we didn't know, was that how the gameplay will feel after the "reboot"(Btw this is not a reboot)
    In my opinion, this game is 10/10 because it grew up, as for a child, all I wanted is to rage. As a grown up I'm different, and so are this game. They decided to capture their maturing audience, and please them with an experience like never before.

    Gameplay and controlls are smooth and so are the levels.
    Graphics are looking stunning even on a console and on a PS4 PRO with 4k and HDR this is actually one of the best games I ve ever seen.

I went in expecting changes and had faith in the team to do right by the series. I'm glad I did, this is not just a beautiful game with a good story. But the God of War we know and love is still baked inside the new combat systems. There is still some crowd control management, a new variation on QTE that isn't as abusive as God of War Ascension, abilities are still necessary for over coming certain foes, and the like. The game takes a bit to lean you into these facts as it is not only longer than past games in the series, but it takes more care in easing you into those changes. At first it seems pretty bare, but after a few hours it start to open up to the player. Puzzles are still a thing thankfully and still have some of the machinations of past god of wars. I was scared that there would be a loss in large scale boss fights leading to large scale destruction, the spectacle is still very much alive in this game. The game does a great job of faking a nonlinear path with optional objectives and back tracking from a central hub world, allowing the player to go back an explore the other realms in the game. Just the right amount of openness so you're not lost in it and just the right amount of restricted path to keep you focused.

    Equally so Bear McCreary certainly delivers in changing the music for this new norse approach. He was the right pick given his past works in mixing various styles an instruments to create a unique sound while maintaining the soul of god of war. You won't always feel the fierce power that you would from say the Colossus at Rhodes fight in God of War 2, but you'll get a new kind of energy from the music that is distinctly God of War, but also re-inventing what it means to be God of War music at the same time. I couldn't have picked a better composer for the job.

    Accessibility is also handled nicely in the settings menu. For those who are hearing impaired and have trouble seeing small text, this game most definitely supports that breadth of features. Including a "Subtitle Speaker", "Subtitle Background" in two settings (light and dark), some button remapping, and features for handling environment interactions. Such as repeated Button Presses from Tap and Hold, Sprint input (press and hold X, or click L3), Stun Grabs, and input for the door Chisel mechanic which is either precision or single button. So hopefully this helps someone who is looking for this information. As a Game Dev myself (from a rival studio) I know how important this is for some people so I wanted to be sure this info was out there.

    Go into this game with an open mind and take in the great work and love that was put into it, you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    While most will be impressed with the flashy visuals and fun combat system, I found myself completely enamored with the dialogue. Top notch script writing.

    While most will be impressed with the flashy visuals and fun combat system, I found myself completely enamored with the dialogue. Top notch script writing. The voice actors are incredible, their delivery was believable, and I felt engaged with the story. Atreus (the son) seemed JUST like a kid, and his little snide remarks about their journey had me cracking up.
    Example: A dwarf grabs Kratos’s axe and says he’s going to upgrade it, and Atreus says bewilderedly “...but we didn’t ask you to.” (Just play it - it’s much funnier in context)
    Another Example: Atreus wants to help someone they met on their travels and Kratos doesn’t want to, so he says, “Well, if mom were here, she would help the.” Kratos pretends he didn’t hear that and angrily asks, “What was that!?” Atreus says, “uhhh nothing.” Kratos says, “Yeah, that’s what I thought...” (there are a lot of little moments like that throughout.

    I particularly enjoy when Atreus is excited about his surroundings, acting like a typical little kid and Kratos gets impatient and annoyed.

    While they’re in the boat, Atreus asks Kratos to tell him a story and Kratos responds with the tortoise and the hare. Kratos: “There was a story about a tortoise and a hare. They wager on a race between them. The hare is too confident of victory and is foolish, while the hare is steady and disciplined. The tortoise wins.” Atreus: “You... *chuckles* haven’t told a lot of stories, have you?”

    The relationship between Kratos and his son are the best part of the story. I felt invested in the game and that rarely happens to me in games.

    I highly recommend this game. It’s easily among Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us Remastered as far as quality goes. This game could be competing for the best PS4 exclusive of this generation.    … Expand

Honestly, It's amazing. The combat at first seems basic, but that's what the average person who has only seen gameplay would say. By the time you familiarize yourself with the basics, they'd already throw a lot of xp your way to unlock a lot of skills that help refine the combat, and the more you get better at it, you'll get into a combat flow of using all these skills and weaving them into each other seamlessly, and it's really fun cause you can really mix it up, especially when Atreus gets buff. This, like many others, is the journey, and not the destination kind of game. The destination doesn't seem that much but the journey that is undertaken makes for a great story. I don't think I need to say much on the graphics either, should speak for itself. My only gripe is how short it is but I know why and I can't expect a 200 hour epic with how refined and focused this is, it honestly makes up for it, but once I platinum, I'll just go back to Monster Hunter or such. Other than that, it's definitely worth the buy and I can't wait to see what the dedicated and talented team at Santa Monica have in store for us. Hopefully it won't be another 5 year long trek, although that would just assure me of its quality even more.… Expand

I'll just rate some different categories from 1 to 10 below, what I like and don't like about this game.

    Graphics 10/10

    As expected of Sony and Santa Monica, the reboot of God of War has fantastic graphics. The landscapes, mobs and creatures, as well as the protagonists are designed on a very high level and makes them look more believable. Although I must say that I really miss the godlike, flawless Kratos jawline :D.

    Story 10/10

    I think I'm like halfway-through now, and the main plot to this point has got me pretty hard. I like how the main focus is the education of Atreus by Kratos, and not just slaughtering all gods that come across you. The dwarven quests and treasure maps are also pretty cool and add a little bit more deepness into the open-world adventure.

    Characters 10/10

    I'm focusing mainly on the protagonists here. Kratos and Atreus are very well-written characters in God of War. Finally we get a more deeper look into Kratos' personality, who before was just an angry, vicious and screaming fella, and now is a caring father, who would give his life for the sake of his son. Kratos is still grumpy, but at least we can relate to him a little better, when he shows his human sides. Atreus feels generic from the first time we see him ingame. Like a son, who really wants to show his father, that he can stand for himself, fight and handle things alone without Kratos. Later on (spoiler alert!!!), when Kratos tells him that he's a god, we can feel his shift in personality, that he thinks he is invulnerable and unstoppable, as he begins to rebel against Kratos. This adds more tension and makes their relation even more interesting. But play the game yourself and you will know :).

    Music 9/10

    Epic, generic and sometimes ambient, the God of War soundtrack makes you feel the nordic atmosphere. From freezing landscapes to boss fights, the soundtrack doesn't fail to support the feeling of the game. Only thing I missed (to this point) is the original Kratos Soundtrack, that was playing in all games before. Gave me real chills and goosebumps whenever I heard it.

    Gameplay 10/10

    Compared to the old GOW games, the fighting system relies on more controlled actions, rather than fast combos like square,square,triangle with the Blades of Chaos. Kratos' Axe is his new main weapon and gives you the possibility to throw it to freeze enemies or proceed in the typical GOW riddles. The animations are smooth, haven't had any problems or bugs to date. And as announced, there are no eternal loading screens, that keep appearing whenever you enter a new area. This makes the game more fluid and smoother.

    Enemies, Bosses etc. 8/10

    Maybe I'll get some hate for this one, but after beating 10 golems and trolls in this game, seeing them over and over again feels kind of boring to me. Don't get me wrong, the fights can still be challenging, regarding the fact that they always get more HP and damage, but as far as I noticed they don't get any new moves and attacks that make them even more challenging than the ones before them. But nothing feels more epic, than beating a boss in GOW. I enjoyed every inch of the dragon boss battle, maybe it wasn't that challenging, but hell do they give you that f***ing nostalgia. So far this was my only critique point in this game.

    Conclusion 10/10

    For a hack&slay game, GOW offers to you more than you can imagine in this genre. Open world feeling, a challenging fighting system, interesting side quests, well rounded main story, an epic soundtrack and gorgeous graphics and animations. If this game doesn't get the Game of the Year Award, I don't know what will.

    Thanks for reading, and I hope my english wasn't all that bad. :D    … Expand

    Just a beautiful game. The new combat system works compeletly well for those who doubted that and it feel so much more satisfying and NO the axe isn't the only weapon you get in the game. Wonderful story with plot twist that can hit you like a train centering on the relationship between kratos and his son atreus and the evolution of kratos as he becomes a good parent struggling to forget his past

    All in all, there's not much to say about God of War. It's perfect. Nevertheless, I would like to go into some more detail!

    Story: The story is wonderful. You get into the action very quickly. The story also starts very exciting and is also very exciting throughout the game. It's very sweet how the relationship between Kratos and his son Atreus develops over the course of the story. Because of this great story alone I can recommend God of War to everyone (even non-God of War fans)! By the way, I would also like to mention that the beard on Kratos looks very good!
    What definitely deserves a mention are the cutscenes. There has rarely been a game where the cutscenes looked so good. The cutscenes in God of War are qualitatively on a completely different level.

    Gameplay: The hack and slay gameplay in God of War has been implemented outstandingly well. Dodging and attacking feels really smooth. The gameplay isn't stagnant or anything at all. With Atreus you have a little help in God of War. Atreus can shoot different kinds of arrows, which is especially useful in many boss battles. Atreus was never disturbing. You can also buy new equipment for both characters (Kratos and Atreus) in God of War. But you don't have to grind much, because the end boss is also possible with weaker armor. So God of War isn't just a grind, like you know it from some role-playing games.

    Conclusion: I can really recommend God of War to anyone. Anyone who owns a PS4 should have played God of War. God of War is a true masterpiece and definitely one of the best Sony Exclusive games!    … Expand

The scenery is gorgeous, the details are absolutely impressive and the PS4 (standard 1TB model) handles it with little to no frame-drops.

    To me, the story couldn't have been better. I don't even know who made this game, but good **** job to them for writing a story that was long, but never felt tedious nor tiring. The characters work so well with each other and their environment, and the game knows when to be serious and when to let off some comic relief, which I don't think felt forced.
    To make this review short, I am going to list the few things, that I found to be more negative than positive, which are some combat mechanics. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the combat (I played the game on the second highest difficulty, which I found rather challenging, but fun), but the way the lock-on system works is somewhat a mess. Luckily, it's up to each individual player to decide how often they want to use the lock-on, which I only did when in 1v1 combat, because then it worked fine. Last negative thing, is that double-tapping the X button too fast will give the same result as a singular tap.

I’m reading reviews and seeing ppl using this game to slam Xbox while also seeing Xbox fanboys using this game to slam ps for how there exclusives turn out, that’s not what this system was made for and your in a way ruining what this is all about. I’m not interested in the fact you gave GOW a 0 cause you have an Xbox and I’m equally not interested in your 10 simply cause it was made by Sony. Come on here and be honest after playing the game and give it a game review not a system review. This game is a great deal of fun and looks great I like the new changes. I am a huge tomb raider fan and this is nothing like that game so that’s a lie. This is more of a technical hack and slash while Tomb is not. The changes to the controls make this game less of a button masher and more of a thinker. You have to be more careful with how and who you attack while using your son to distract and kill. I will say so far the story feels a little diffrent from the past games but the situation is different so that makes sense. Also just because it’s a father and a son fighting together to reach a place does not make it a last of us clone. As a matter of fact that’s all these two games have in common and that’s not even the same. To sum up a lot of you ppl simply need to grow up I’m sick of seeing gamers giving games lower or higher scores trying to level out the overall score and system hating. You have no power you have no control and let’s be honest If you think giving a game you love a 5 to level the overall score is some noble self sacrifice your wrong it’s just stupid.… Expand

The game is nothing short of phenomenal.

    I was skeptical about a reboot, not because of the gameplay and narrative changes, but because the series essentially concluded in God of War 3. The series was done in my mind, and I'd gotten everything I wanted out of it. But I went ahead and pre-ordered this one anyway, and it definitely got me interested in another round of mythological adventure by presenting so many new aspects to the series, from the completely reworked gameplay, to the focus on the narrative and to Kratos himself as a character.

    This isn't your dad's God of War, most certainly not. But it's still definitely God of War, and Kratos's journey as a character is finally becoming more than just the two-dimensional irredeemable tantrum-throwing crybaby that we all still unironically love. Kratos is now much more than that, and with the context of the previous games on your side, you'll end up getting a really strong attachment to what his character has become and to the narrative as it plays out, and you'll definitely catch certain themes repeating themselves through a new perspective that really drives home a powerful message.

    Graphics-wise, it's probably the best looking PS4 game alongside the Shadow of the Colossus rework, and the game gives you plenty to do in it's semi-open world, packed with locations to explore and sidequests to complete that don't feel like side-stories so much as fitting neatly into the main story should you choose to go off the main path and do some exploring, all of which never prove pointless as there is always a sweet reward waiting for you at the end of everything you do, be it a sidequest or just generally exploring.

    The combat is much slower and more paced than previous entries, and it requires a mix between attack and defense that you need to balance well in order to succeed. It feels almost like Dark Souls in a sense, with how strategy will come into play. It also feels almost like Dark Souls in that the game can be go f*** yourself hard. Once you get the hang of it, though, you'll find a deeply rewarding combat system that always feels challenging, sometimes overwhelming, but rewards those who understand it and can keep a cool head throughout encounters. So basically what I'm saying is that God of War is basically the Dark Souls of Norse mythology, though faster paced.

    Atreus, Kratos's new kid son, is more of a sidekick than anything else. You're free to treat him as another addition to your arsenal in combat, as he will act on his own and assist you without you having to do anything, and you can also give him specific commands when you want him to do something specific, like interrupt an enemy's attack with some arrows and such. As the game progresses, he becomes more and more useful to you, and never once feels like a liability. Outside of combat he is, of course, the second half of the narrative of the game, the dynamic between Kratos and Atreus always being at the center of everything you do in the game, never once leaving the perspective of the two as the story unfolds and the stakes are raised.

    There's really only one moment in the game that took me out of the experience and made me feel like I was playing a video game, and it's a pretty bad bit of gameplay that I hope they patch to make it so it plays itself, because it would be better for both the gameplay and the narrative if it were the case, and when it happened I deducted 2 points from my score of it, bringing it down to a 7 out of 10 instead of the 9 it was cruising at beforehand. But after thinking about it for a bit, I'm more than willing to forgive one single bit of iffy gameplay design in the context of all the rest of the absolutely brilliant things the game has going for it, and the game brings everything together wonderfully in the end to add that last point to the score.

    God of War isn't a perfect game, but it's definitely one of the best you can get your hands on, on the PS4, and in my eyes, it's absolutely everything it needs to be. Almost nothing feels out of place here, and everything feels like it's there for a reason. The game feels entirely complete, both as a game and a story, which isn't something you see often these days.

    And all while being single-player only with no monetization bulls***, no less. Single-player, story-driven games are far from dead, and this game proves it, on top of being proven by all of Sony's other first-party games.

    This game deserves all the praise it gets.    … Expand

    Большое и красивое приключение с отличной драматургией. Планка качества задрана до уровня Одни из Нас. Приятно видеть как разработчики и Кори Барлог преобразили игру !

    Just sat down for 7 hours straight playing God of War #GameOfTheCentury
    It is one of the best experiences I've had with a game in many lifetimes.

    Yes. Unless you are actively tired of open world action games, or games with an abundance of violence, you will want to play God of War.    … Expand

    Uma das melhores experiencias que tive nos últimos anos.
    Kratos esta de volta, mais completo e complexo do que nunca!
    Jogo grande longo, e as vezes é normal se confundir entre um RPG ou Action Sandbox.

    This was the easiest game I've ever given a 10 before. The one continuous shot, solid rpg elements, reworked combat system and father son bond have this game set up for GOTY for sure. It's the best game I've played in years.

    For you xbox users I highly recommend just selling your system for a ps4 purely for this game. Absolutely amazing game I really can't give enough praise.

    I was pretty skeptical about this game being a reboot yet a direct sequel at the same time. I'm glad to say I was wrong to be. The dev team did an excellent job crafting both story and world. The use of colors and lighting by the developer are out of this world and simply jaw dropping at many points of the game. Well done.

    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.
