Customer Ratings & Reviews

God of War PS4 is a fresh new start for the series. Now taking place in Norse mythology, Kratos now lives in the Norse lands with his son Atreus. His wife has passed and her dying wish is to scatter her ashes at the highest peak. Now Kratos embarks on a journey while training his son to become a warrior while controlling his rage. It has a revamped battle system that is more like Dark Souls and less like a hack and slash. It makes for a more challenging game. The graphics are some of the best in gaming right now and the story is absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I highly recommend you pick up this winner.

I hadn't played the previous God of War games, but it's easy to see why they were so popular in the past. Crisp combat, great visuals, engaging battles. The difficulty, when ratcheted up, will definitely test your mettle. If you want a hack-and-slash type RPG with a little bit more depth to it, take a look at this game while it's on sale. It'll be well worth the price of admission.

OMG! This is it. This is the masterpiece that I have been waiting for. A truly stunning perfect game. Beautiful, great control, great story, great graphics. Buy this now!

This game is awesome. Graphics are unbelievable you will look around just to take in the surroundings. Great action and a believable story that will keep you coming back

This is not like any of the previous titles in this series. Instead of a wide view of the terrain the camera is always over Kratos' shoulder. Combat is done with an Axe that reminds me of Thor's hammer instead of the Blades of Chaos. The game really shines in its story. It is about Kratos and his son as they ascend the tallest peak in Midgar (this game uses Norse mythology instead of Greek since all of those Gods are dead now) and spread his wife's ashes as per her request. I have not completed the game yet but it is very compelling with top notch voice acting and insane graphics. Highly recommended to anybody.

This is like a combination of God of War and The Last of Us. This game did a lot of things right (story, world building, relationship between father and son, graphics, side quests, progression, and exploration). Nothing feels like a chore to me because I found enjoyment in exploration and finding rare treasure at the end of the endeavor. I didn’t think they could pull this game off because I really thought Kratos’s story should have ended after God of War 3. It could have been an ending. I’m glad I was wrong and these other 5 star reviews are not lying. This is genuinely an excellent game!

I have not played all the way through yet but 10 to 15 hours into it I can honestly say it's the best game I ever played and I play a lot of games. God of War is always been a favorite of mine but this new one takes the story of Kratos to another level fair warning this game is very addictive and you won't want to stop playing for a while. The only thing that could make this game better is the hope that we can get some single player DLC soon. If you don't have this game yet what are you waiting for drop what you're doing drive to Best Buy right now and buy it you won't be disappointed I promise

Amazing video game. I bought this game for my husband. He didn’t like it at first but after playing it for a while he loved it.

This feels nothing like a God of War game, and at the same time it feels exactly like a God of War game. Kratos is back... but now he’s a dad. There’s a new side of his character that (I think) kind of makes videogame history. The new “Gods” are creative and the world is diverse and colorful. The combat is brutal and fluid. Controls are spot on. The game world is beautiful and varied. Customization and gear is plentiful. It’s really hard to find any flaw with this title. I would have loved 60fps, but besides that - it’s kinda perfect. Makes me want a PS4 Pro (for the higher FPS).

Simply put: This game is fantastic. They took an established character and lore... carried it over into a new mythos and made it WORK. There is much more story here, a more developed world... characterization... some of the best dialogue in a game I've heard, with fantastic voice over (VO) work. The combat is intense and only gets more so as you progress. And the game is wide-linear. There's a lot of open areas to explore off the path... you aren't constrained to your one set direction... and these areas are quite fascinating. Highest recommendation for PS4 owners.

I never played any of the game in the God of War franchise so this was quite new for me. Santa Monica Studio is one the many game devs under Sony's umbrella. I never had any experience coming into my first attempt at God of War so it wasn't so enticing in the beginning. I wasn't too sure of how this would compare to the previous games since they never seemed appealing to me but after trying God of War 2018 I've gotta say it might be worth trying GoW 3 Remastered. Definitely worth GOTY 2018

It's a good game. Good story. Fun combat. Beautiful Graphics. My biggest gripe is there wasn't many boss fights. That was my favorite part of the games was all the cool boss fights. I dont think this is the best PS4 game. I think it is kind of over rated honestly. It is however a good game. And after the ending I cant wait to see what happens.

When it comes to the story, character development, action, never wanting to drop the controller, this game is without a doubt a shining example of that!!

Really great game mechanics...great story...beautiful setting...great action and always nice to switch up from 1st person shooters

A rebellious son, a father recovering from anger issues, and Norse gods that send you into disbelief after learning that they are not quite as the Marvel series depicts them as: God of war is undoubtedly the best game of 2018 so far. Diverging from the original formula of slash-slash-kill, this game has a narrative depth other games can only hope to get close to. The relationship between Kratos and Atreus is one that unfolds beautifully throughout the story as Kratos learns to be a good father all whilst dealing with a rebellious son. Play this game now.

As a Dark Souls fan who never played any of the prior God of War games, I was intrigued to read that this latest game changed the combat system to become more Dark Souls-like. Although I can't agree with that comparison (this still feels more like wild button-mashing than disciplined tactics), God of War is a lot of fun. It is gorgeous to look at, with TONS of things to do, and a compelling story line. The crafting and skill trees remind me more of Middle Earth: Shadow of War. There is no stamina bar like in Dark Souls, so you can hack n slash without restraint.

Great game. Awesome graphics. Loads of action. Different then previous God of War games. Not only an action game but it’s also an adventure game.

This game looks and plays amazing. I’ve always loved the GOW series and this one is phenomenal. It’s cinematic and makes you feel the atmosphere of the game. The price was great too.

If you own a PS4, you owe it to yourself to buy, beg, or borrow a copy of God of War. I don't care if someone spoiled it for you, play it anyway. Don't be ashamed to play on Easy, just play. Combat is amazing (although feels slow when you're starting the game - that'll pass), and the story is one of the best I've seen in a game. The ONLY thing I can find to complain about is that the number of kill animations for each enemy feels limited (I believe there are only two for each enemy type). Why are you still reading? You could be playing God of War

The developers decided to change up the original God of War formula from a story of revenge and remorseless killing, to one with story and dialogue. The pacing can be much slower at times compared to other games, but during those slower times there is a lot of story building for many of the characters. Considering most people have probably already played this, I feel I don't need to review it. Although if you are one of the people that may live under a rock, I cannot recommend this game enough.
