Customer Ratings & Reviews

Whether you are new to the series or a long-standing fan of the franchise, this game is sure to please. It has a top-notch presentation that includes a great story rich in lore, hardcore action to satisfy most tastes, and characters you won’t soon forget. This game might not be for everyone, but I can guarantee that anyone who tries it will have to at least give it the respect it deserves.

All around great. Story, game play, controls. It is a really fun game to play

This game nails it on all fronts, gameplay, mechanics, controls, story, graphics

I don’t review games, but this one is worth the few minutes. The graphics are good, but the story is great. Not just a button smasher and not really role playing game either. My wife HATES video games for the most part, but she really enjoyed the story on this (as she overheard from typing on her iPad). Game has replay value and there are ton of this to accomplish besides the storyline.

Game is very well made. Has a fun story and challenging at times.

[Employee of bestbuy] Boy. Prepare yourself. This is a sweet twist on the God Of War series. As Kratos's story takes him to Midgard. Sweet new weapons and enemies. Thorough plot. Over 70 hours of game play enough for even the most hardcore gamers to sink their teeth into. Will you travel the nine realms?

Great game, amazing graphics, great story and perfect controls. A must own game.

I got this game at launch and I still think about it all the time. One of the best action games I have ever played, with an amazing and sincere story. If you have a ps4 and haven’t played this yet do yourself a favor and play it. I also gave this as a gift to my little brother and he loved it as well. So either for yourself or as a gift you can’t go wrong.

Awesome graphics, nice controls, nice storyline! WIll not disappoint!

Will definitely be Game of the Year. The story is amazing, you really feel for the characters and the bond between father and son. The action is a mix between old hack and slash God of War and Devil May Cry guys mixed in with more open world and RPG elements from Zelda and Darksiders and some combat that even resembles Dark Souls. If you're a fan of adventure games definitely a must play

This is a great addition to my RPG games. It has a solid story, beautiful visuals and exciting game-play. I enjoy the mix of puzzles and action; and I especially appreciate the ability to downshift to an easier play-mode during the course of the game. It helps getting out of those tight battles a little easier. The depth and complexity of the visuals are really, at times, breath-taking.

I bought a 2nd copy of this for my stepson to play. Normally I would just give him the game after I was done but I'm keeping this one. Game of the year for a reason - great visuals, excellent story and voice acting, single player, online/microtransaction free. It is most importantly a fun game to play. The feel of Kratos' axe on the controller is amazing.

One of the best games ever made. Great world, story, action, gameplay, puzzles.

Just a masterpiece of a game—the visuals, controls, and storytelling are all top-notch.

This game is absolutely amazing on every level. What Cory Barlog and Santa Monica Studios did with this new Norse mythology reimagining of God of War is incredible. They spent five years on this game and it is well worth it. McCreary’s musical compositions are the perfect score for the game as well. This will be up there for game of the year and only Red Dead 2 may be able to compete.

The game play in the new GOW game is great. It’s a departure from the Original hack and slash kratos we all know and love. But it’s a perfect step forward for the franchise. I love that the story isn’t a reboot but a continuation of all the games before it. And the story itself is engaging and phenomenal. Cannot wait for sequel.

I have played every GOD and this one is not an exception in terms of the wonderful work that was done with it. However, I prefer GOD the way it was before. Do not misunderstand me. This is a fantastic game, the story is incredible, and visuals make you feel like you are there. But I like GOD wielding his double swords and almost 3d side-scrolling.

the visuals, the gameplay, the story, the difficulty, the weapons...just great

I never really could get into the previous God of War games; they just weren’t my type of game. I got bored with the gameplay and tired of the “edginess” of them. However, this new game in the series changes EVERYTHING. Excellent gameplay, visuals, music, and a story of a father and son working through a rough relationship make this game a must-have. Definitely worth your time!

Played through God of War until story finished on PS4 slim. I played the 3 previous main games on their original systems (God of War - PS2, God of War II - PS2, God of War III - PS3), but none of the side games. Kratos returns in a game that is actually more "mature" than the previous games, and the core of the game is that struggle, the dramatic irony that the audience and Kratos himself are the only ones who know who he truly is, or was, or maybe still is, and how his somewhat estranged son will effect him? That and an absolutely stunning game with equally beautiful and violent depiction of Norse mythology and locations, and that has effected the combat as well. Kratos has lost his jump but gained a magic axe, but otherwise feels like God of War added a little Dark Souls. Blocking, parrying and dodging return and the combat is just as visceral, including brutal finishers. The view has shifted to behind Kratos, but this actually allows for a closer and more brutal experience. His son, Atreus, is never a nuisance in combat, and aides through damage, status effects and control, allowing focus on Kratos to rip and cleave the denizens of Midgard apart. An excellent modernization of a modern franchise, excellent in gameplay, smooth and detailed visuals, fantastic setting, and moving story.
