Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is by far the most engrossing and interesting PS4 game with a story driven narrative I've played yet. I am constantly interesting in the mythology and dialogue sequences about this game and I rarely feel as if I run into a scenario where I have to look up how to do something as the game naturally leads you towards solving various puzzles and challenges. Although not open world, I think I prefer a non-open world approach to help maintain focus on the story and keep the progression simple. (A problem I had with Horizon Zero Dawn and Fallout 4) The combat system is incredible and 25+ hours in, I am still floored to engage in even minor enemy combat.

What an amazing game....the visuals, the story, all keep you engulfed in this game. Got it at an amazing price while on sale....well worth adding to your collection!

Visually stunning! The story line and game play are top-notch! Whether you've played all of the other God of Wars or not, you'll definitely enjoy this!

Excellent continuation of Kratos' story. Worth playing even if you hated the previous games. Gameplay completed rebooted and a meaningful story makes this well worth playing!

God of War is an amazing reimagining for the series and a perfect soft-reboot just when the series needed it. After a long series of action games, the standard GOW formula was getting sort of tiresome. But this new game? WOW. First off visually, it's amazing. The game never cuts its camera shot on the entire game stays in one continuous shot. It sounds like a simple thing, but in execution it's extremely unique and gives the game a special feel to it. Combat-wise, it's much more open and setting-wise, it's huge. This is also a game that deserves to be played on a 4K TV and PS4 Pro and really justifies the upgrade. I'd recommend this 100% to any gamer.

The drastic changes made to this God of War sequel/reboot are all for the better and made it my favorite entry in the series to date. It is a fantastic game that is nearly perfect.

I can't play video games anymore due to a medical issue, but I love watching mu husband play this game. The story is great, and the graphics are so cool!

I have been waiting for this release from the first rumored date. I played it on Day 1 and it did not disappoint. Graphics are good, gameplay is different from prior entries in the series (but makes the game its own). One of the features that I enjoy about this game is that it is somewhat open (if you cannot go somewhere, the game does not allow you to go) and it is non-linear when it allows for some open exploration. A great game and sits up there with the other PS4 exclusives released in the past 2 years (Uncharted 4, Uncharted Lost Legacy, Horizon: Zero Dawn). I like the older Kratos, now realizing the errors of his earlier sins. GET THIS GAME!

This game caught me off guard. Takes a while to get used to all the new mechanics and armor/upgrade systems but man is it addicting. One of the best stories in video gaming.

Have been waiting for this game since the reveal two years ago. It did not disappoint. Awesome how they took God of War in this new direction. Glad they won Game of the Year.

Amazing game with a great story. I never played any of the previous games in the series but I never felt I needed to. Great gameplay, great story, I would highly recommend this game.

One of the top PS4 games. Very immersive, great story, crisp controls on combat, awesome graphics, relatively quick load times, no lagging, intuitive interface. No major complaints about the game. I got the game on the release date, have played daily since then, and have not experienced any crashing or bugs. Ironically, there have been small updates each day, which I take as a good thing. Meaning, they are fixing issues promptly. Having a lot of fun with the game. Enjoying it a lot. Has a good balance of combat, puzzles, and exploring. Not a complete free world for roaming, but within each section you can pretty much free roam, which works for me.

This game is everything that is awesome about this franchise. I love it, same feel as the old classics but instead of Greek mythology it has Norse mythology which is just as awesome.

This is an amazing game and a visual treat! Its a great addition to the God Of War franchise and is just what any hardcore GOW fan would expect from a next generation platform experience. The game-play is fluid and stunning though it takes a little bit of time to get used to coming from the older game's camera angles and game-play. The graphics are amazing and very fluid, not to mention some of the best graphics on this generation of consoles i have seen in some time. The attention to detail, the realism of the mechanics, and the single player 3rd person experience makes this a must have game for anyone with a Playstation 4.

I haven’t had a chance to play all the way though but so far it has been high octane fun. Story is very strong and characters are well designed. Beautiful graphically too. Great game

I love this game the graphics are stunning. The story is good and long I have been playing for hours and still have not beat the story or even explored everywhere there is to explore

I've never been a fan of God of War. In fact I disliked all the ones previously. But this one is great. I live all the things in it. The openness. The story. The graphics. Beautiful.

This truly deserves its Game of the Year recognition it got in 2018. It's graphic details along with the immense story it presents makes up a very impressive game. I'm not a big single-player gamer myself, but it has definitely exceeded my expectations. God of War should no doubt be on top of your list if you're just getting a PS4 console and contemplating on which games to get first.

Good combat, story, boss fights, and variety of enemies. Only need minimum knowledge of previous games to play.

Seriously, this was probably my favorite game of 2018. The graphics, gameplay mechanics, story/lore, and character dialogue were all top notch. Can't wait for the next one.
