Customer Ratings & Reviews

Never thought I’d start a God of War review talking about the story, but this is easily one of my favorite video game stories of all time. Poignant moments between a flawed father and son make both more human and relatable. Combat is less button mashing and more skilled than previous series entries. Didn’t want the game to end even after getting the platinum trophy. Highly recommended!

I had my reservations going into the new God of War. New setting, new over the shoulder camera, "RPG" elements, Dark Souls-like combat comparisons; nothing sounded like what I came to God of War for. However, after getting my hands on the game, I couldn't put it down. The story is intriguing, the combat is gripping, and Kratos is cool as ever. A definite must-play for any PS4 owner.

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

bought this as a gift and they did give it to me with the packaging slightly torn :( but still a well-made game that's super fun and has a great story!

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

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.

Man, God of War blew me away. I was a fan of the previous games in the series but this new game really set the bar high. The storytelling is a lot stronger in this game, similar to the quality you would expect from Naughty Dog games (The Last of Us/Uncharted). The graphics are insane! It's a beautiful looking game and the combat system is really fun to master. Must-own game for PS4 players!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Fun story. I love GOW and it is a different game play than the GOW of old. Cool story and much longer than expected from an adventure games with about 50hrs+ to complete it.

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

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.
