This is a must have if you have a PS4. The story and graphics are amazing and as always, the controls are buttery smooth. Added benefit, if you have the PS4 Pro, you'll get enhanced graphics from the game.

It's the greatest game ever made! Kratos the god of war is back & he's better than ever. If there is only one game you get this year, I'm telling you right now get this game, you won't be disappointed. When I first seen the video at E3 that Kratos story wasn't going to be Greek Mythology, but would be part of Norse Mythology, I didn't think I'd like it. It wasn't that I didn't like the stories of the Norse because I think they're awesome. What it came down to is nobody likes change, & if it isn't broke don't try to fix it. Everyone who has played any of the old god of war games knows that it wasn't broke. Well when I played it for the first time I forgot all about my worries. This is the greatest one player game that I have ever played, & that's saying alot but it's true.

I’ll keep this short, I’ve always been a fan of the God of War series. However, this game took the franchise to a different level. It has it all, the story, the action and gore, voice acting, and the graphics look really good.

It's a really good continuation for the God of War series. I wish I could say a lot more, but I have not finished this game at this date. It takes up so much space in your console's Hard Drive, that I had to delete other games in order to play this. I love the open world concept, a good story, tight controls, and it's just a great game to have.

Amazing game with excellent graphics and story telling.From the beautiful music to the wonderful graphics and the action packed thrilling adventure story where you get to see kratos as a father and trying to bond with his son.I love everything about this game but the story really was something special. Kratos started off as a Vengeful, Aggressive and frankly quite a Unapproachable person in the original games, but in this one he seemed to let go of his past and grow Wise and Determined and Passionate to make sure that his Son didn't turn out like him. And the pacing throughout this game was beautiful and well told. Masterpiece- 10/10

This is "God of War" taken to a whole other level! Story driven with jaw dropping graphics, rpg elements, and bone-crunching combat that just "feels" right. My highest recommendation for a PS4 game, and an instant classic!

This is the more mature version of Kratos who's having to deal with the death of his wife, how to raise a child, and fulfill a final wish. The amount of time spent on development of the game shows as everything is so beautiful to look at on 1080 and 4k TVs. Without a doubt this is a true showcase of just how powerful the PS4 is, and just how beautiful games can look given the time and resources.
The story itself is amazingly well done. The music is top notch. Combat is more melodic and rhythmic compared to its roots of mindless hack and slash. It focuses more on Kratos trying to be a father, a mentor to his son, than living purely on revenge. This take on Kratos is beyond welcomed as it shows he has grown past always letting his rage guide him.

I was one of the skeptics going into this game. I wasn't keen on the changes to combat, the homogenization into another open-world game, and what seemed to be clear imitation of The Last of Us. I'm glad to say that most of the worries I had were unfounded and God of War is a fantastic game. It's easily one of the best in the series if not the best, but it requires an open mind and willingness to accept change. There are some things I prefer about the previous entries, but there are many more that I prefer about this one. The story is compelling, a first for the series, the combat still remains serviceable (though not quite as button-mashingly fun as previous games), and the exploration is surprisingly interesting in a Metroidvania/Arkham way.

God of War takes a character that was hard to relate to in Kratos, and takes a fresh approach to the character. A new setting, a new pantheon, and a new dynamic for the series helps breathe life and depth into Kratos. This game is gorgeous, and fun to play. The combat has weight and is satisfying to execute, and the story is intriguing, and worth savoring. The game is meaty, with plenty of open areas and side activities to help broaden the experience, without feeling like filler. While having played the rest of the series has added benefits to understanding the tragic history of the character, this game also works as a fresh start for newcomers, and easily sits with Horizon, and Uncharted 4/The Lost Legacy as a top tier, must have PS4 game.

I love to play role playing games with great story lines and in depth gameplay. With God of War you will get both and you can also choose your own path. If you are like me and want to explore and get every little extra item that will help you along the way (you can) or you can cruise throw and try your skills with lesser gear but makes you feel like a god when you knock out more formidable foes (Will be very difficult though! so be ready to die a million times). So if you are a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted, Tomb Raider and or Assassins Creed this game will definitely blow you away. Great game with great gameplay and you will lose yourself in the story! I give it a 10 so far and I am not done with the game yet! Have FUN!!!

The first installment of God of War for PS4 is a perfect example of getting everything right. After playing and enjoying the first 3 games in the franchise, this is a definite improvement on a great idea.
My wife, who is no fan of video games, will not let me play this one without her present to watch. She is completely engrossed by the storyline. Visually the game is so cinematic in nature it is like watching a movie.
Not since The Last of Us have I felt such an emotional attachment to the characters in a game. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good story, Greek or Norse Mythology, open world gameplay or just a well done action game. You will not be disappointed!
