God of War Collector's Edition - PlayStation 4

I remember when I played the first God of War on PS2 and instantly fell in love with the combat and the story. I bought every title in the series as they released except for the two titles on the PSP. This game changes the combat and the titular character, Kratos, for the better. The combat is up close and personal now and you actually control Atreus’ attacks while slashing away as Kratos. There is also a small RPG element added to this game in which you craft armor and decorate your main weapons. It is not a remake as it is still in the same universe since this is based on Norse mythology now instead of Greek. There are some nice surprises that I will not spoil. I say, do yourself a favor as this is another exclusive every PS4 owner needs to play. This is only my second collector’s edition ever buying and I love the statue of Kratos and Atreus.

I held off getting this game because there are always "complete" editions or "Game if the Year" ones and I figured I'd wait for one if them. Then I saw this -- on sale, while also eligible for GCU, and I couldn't hold off. In the pictures it looks cool, but in person the detail is GORGEOUS. It is quality. The little wood/resin figures are detailed and have some weight, too. The steel book actually looks neat and the map is pretty nice as well. The lithograph was a bit of an add on, but the more stuff the better. This also comes with DLC that is actually useful. Usually a company will give a lame skin, but this gives things you can use. Plus the game itself is a gem. All-in-all, the value of this was amazing and if you can somehow fund it for the price...get it!

God of War (2018) is a fresh take on a series that while generally fantastic has not seen much in the way of change. The story of the god of war series is a story of vengeance. God of War (2018) tells a much more personal story of a father and son journeying to fulfill the last wishes of their dearly departed. No more button mashing combat this time around. Combat is still fun and frenetic but with much more strategy involved, while it retains much of the ultra violence and gore the series is known for. Prepare to become obsessed with Norse Mythology, because God of War presents many beautiful settings with even more stories to tell. Take the Rainbow road to your nearest Best Buy and pick up a copy of God of War, The Allfather demands it!

This game is incredible! The story is fantastic, graphics are top notch and really push the PS4 to it's limits, sound design is great, art direction is perfect. I've been waiting for the next entry since GoW3 and the wait was definitely worth it. The collector's edition statue is just awesome! The cloth map is nice (planning on framing mine). The lithograph and 2 inch carvings are cool also. The steel book case looks amazing with the rune design all around. Would definitely recommend to any collector and fan of the God of War series. If you've got an extra $20, the Stone Mason edition is also a worthwhile purchase. I believe it comes with a ring and some extra figures/keychains.

Got my collectors edition on launch day. Best investment ever. - Huge status included, I mean it’s really well done, and 5e details on statue are amazing. - other artifacts in collectors edition are quality built, no cheap products. And GOW is the most stunning game I am playing after Horizon zero Dawn. Very similar environment, but fighting mechanics, and other elements in their own league. It’s basically at the sophistication level as MGS franchise now, takes itself very seriously. Has th ability to gravitate you in it’s own environment. I would have easily paid $200 for this package, that status alone is worth that price. Get this game right NOW!!

I purchased this at 20% off retail and feel it was my best video game purchase in a long time. This is my GOTY and my favorite since Uncharted 2. It plays a little slower than original games but is a true adventure game with wide linear design. The combos you can do are truly great and it has good interesting story. I stayed attached to the game to the end which is rare for me. I would pick this game over Spiderman if I was in the market for a game. Also , the Statue that came with the game was great quality and have it displayed in my game room on a shelf.

This is a great game! Not a masterpiece but surely not one to be missed. There is a lo t left out of trailers and promotional videos and thats for the best because the story will surprise you within the first hour and keep going. For that first hour you will get used to the new camera and the new gameplay. It will be reminiscent to The Last of Us. Don't worry... you see that title "God of War" don't worry, the tropes you're used to from the series will come out and remind you very well of its roots. From the boss fights, the "quick time events" and the shear scale of it all will bring a mighty smile to your face.

I'm briefly reviewing the collectors edition only as the high reviews everywhere clearly describe how amazing this game is and I 110% agree, no questions asked, hands down easily one of my TOP 10 Games of all time. Anyways, the statue itself is worth it. Highly detailed, great size and weight to it so it doesn't feel or look cheap. The lithogram, cloth map, and the 2 small statues are also very detailed. The lithogram itself has a great message from the almighty Cory Barlog who is the game director.
