Features

  • Bold New Beginning

    His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive...

  • And teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series-satisfying combat, breathtaking scale, and a powerful narrative-and fuses them anew.

  • A Darker, More Elemental World

    From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of Pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods.

  • With an added emphasis on discovery and exploration, the world will draw players in to explore every inch of God of War's breathtakingly threatening landscape - by far the largest in the franchise.

  • Vicious, Physical Combat

    With an over the shoulder free camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty, and grueling.

  • A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of God of War while presenting a vision of violent conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

    STILL HOLDS UP IN 2025!

    I first played the game in 2023 and then just dropped it, but I came back to it, and I don’t know what’s changed, but it still feels like a current-gen experience. It’s not the most action-packed gameplay-wise, but the story is enjoyable, and I would recommend it if you like Greek mythology.

    God Of War is truly Awesome!

    This is literally like the best game I've ever played. The way Santa Monica brought back one of the most hardest worked PlayStation games, and to see how it evolved into this beautiful open world game was amazing. The graphics were awesome on PS4 Pro. The Complicated puzzles and breaking locks were frustrating but fun. The story was spectacular with exciting boss fights here and there. The ending was a shocker!

    Fun game that keeps getting better as you play

    The God of War is a series of games that have gotten better over the years -- graphically and gameplay. You start out having to go on a journey to bury your dead wife. Yes, it's morbid but it's also how you and your young son learn to bond. On the way, you'll teach your son how to hunt, gather, and how to survive in the wilderness. Soon you and your son will be visiting new lands, be challenged to defeat terrible enemies, and have to solve riddles and puzzles. There will be the typical side quests too to get the necessary items for acquaintances you meet along the way that will provide you with items to get you to the next level. You'll have lots of fun playing a god and his son. Buy it!
