Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Great story and game play to match. While some have complained about the combat. albeit not too loudly, I felt its versatility a was nearly perfect fit for propelling the action forward. While not the easiest system to maser, it was fun learning, and a down right blast when you get the hang of it. Best in the series by far, and one of the best games I have played in a while.

I had never played any of the God of War games. I also recently had purchased a Playstation 4. This game was worth the purchase! it was amazing! the story, the contact, the characters! everything! its worth the money and the time playing it! even after the story line, you still have so much to do! its a great game! I hope they make a follow up!

This game was well organized, well designed, and well written. It takes you into the lore of Nore mythology while keeping you rooted to Kratos' past. Gameplay controls were different as expected but fun nonetheless. There were some sections in the game that seemed like an unnecessary filler in-between missions. Overall a great pickup and a fantastic addition to the franchise.

I was not expecting this game to be as amazing as it was, sure I had hi hopes but this is by far my game of the year 2018. This game is now in my top 5 games of all time! They gave This empty character actual life with subtle nuances that tell a greater story with his few words. On top of amazing graphics, outstanding gameplay mechanics they tac on a great story!

Gorgeous graphics, great story and good action make this game a must have.

This is a great game. Great story, great pictures, and action packed

Incredible game. Perfect tight controls. Excellent story. Amazing graphics

This is the single best game you can buy on the PS4. The gameplay, the story, the world, and the visuals make for a masterpiece all PS4 owners should experience. I played it on the original PS4 and had almost 0 noticable performance dips, and when I did it was during huge action packed sequences with dozens of enemies and explosions. Absolutely worth your time and money

I was skeptical about this game, mostly because I just thought it was lame. I went online to see the reviews and it’s hailed as the best PlayStation game out. I wish I wouldn’t have judged it too early. This game is awesome! I was hooked right from the start. The gameplay is awesome and brutal. I had a lot of fun playing this game.

This game ranks #1 in my favorite top 5 games ever. The story is incredible and it just keeps you constantly wondering what happens next. Along with the main story, there are a lot of hours in side quests and collectibles/gear to collect. The combat in the game makes to feel like a total badass as well. 10/10 recommend this!
