Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!!!

What a game! Simply incredible. The storyline and action truly draw you into the game. Wether or not you have played the previous GOW games you will enjoy this game. Be warned though... it can be very violent.

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!

Overall excellent game. Great Story, Gameplay, and Controls. Deep customization of weapons and armors to suit any play style. Fantastic voice acting from the main characters and supporting characters as well.

This review is not a direct comparison to past God of War games, because this game is meant to be so much more. The developers have coated Kratos's newest adventure with a deep story that connects the player to the God of War in a very meaningful way. Even though it is a sequel, this game is a masterpiece of this generation that will be considered as one of the greats for many years to come by it's own merits. While the past titles made their own impact on the gaming industry, this one does the same at a higher level and for different reasons. It's truly a wonderful experience seeing how a developer is able to accomplish all of these things within one series. Can't wait to see which direction they take the next one.

Great adventurous game would recommend it to everyone...

I expected great action from God of War, and it delivers that handily. But I didn’t expect it to be a thrilling journey in which every aspect of it complements the others to form what is nothing short of a masterpiece. It’s a game in which Kratos, a previously one-note character, becomes a complex father, warrior, and monster, embattled both on the field and within his own heart about how to treat his son; one in which the world opens up and shifts, offering rewards in both gameplay and knowledge of its lore that I treasured with each accomplishment. The obvious care that went into crafting its world, characters, and gameplay delivers by far the most stirring and memorable game in the series.

Amazing game. Immensely immersive. I finished the whole main story line in 2 days. Just could not stop playing. Fighting mechanics are pretty flawless. Being able to throw your axe and use your hands while its doing damage or even freezing other npcs is awesome. There is tons of norse mythology to learn about on the journey. Intriguing Stories including many of the gods are constantly told. I found myself staying in the canoe a few times just to hear mimir (a god but i dont want to spoil) finish off a story. OVERALL its a must have. I stopped playing ps4 games in preference of pc due to sales, etc but this is the First time ive felt good about spensing a full $60 on any game since Skyrim. Buy it.

The best game i've ever played, what could you possibly want in a modern game? Graphics, gameplay, sound and music, content, a good challenge, a good story and narative and inovation. Usually a game can get one of those things right and the rest of it ok, or good at best, botw for example inovates, the graphics are beautiful artisticaly but not impressive in terms of technology and etc... But god of war, all of those things are made perfectly, absolutely perfect un every single aspect. It's already impressive that the game does all of that at the same time, imagine doing that this good; it's unbelievable, it's mindblowingly good. This game literaly sets a new level for AAA games for the whole industry.

I wasn't the biggest fan of older god of war games but this is a totally different beast. The story is so much bigger than before takes you on a huge emotional journey. The combat is very different but different is good. The leviathan axe is a brutal close quarters weapon that you can also throw which feels so satisfying. Exploration is very prevalent but always optional and non Intrusive. The rpg elements are deep and reward experimentation to find just the right abilities for your play style. I played this game on a 4k t.v. with a ps4pro and high end headphones so i was constantly floored by the visuals and sound design. This game is one of the greats and everybody should give it a try.

I'm using a PS4 Pro on an LG 75" 4k TV. Visually, this game is amazing. The level of detail is just stunning. I'm only a little ways into it and the story is really good so far. The various puzzles require a little skill and thought so far, they seem to be ramping up as I go. Gameplay definitely deviates from previous GoW titles, it's taken the button mashing and refined it. You can still just button mash if you like but now theres the ability to vary your attacks and mix things up more. Gear customizing options like no previous GoW game had. Definitely dips into the RPG pool a little in that respect, in my opinion a nice improvement from the prior system. Overall great game.

Very good looking game. Smooth controls. I like the shift to Norse mythology. The game was a bit longer than I thought it would be, so that was a welcomed surprise, Good and challenging game.

Good story and gameplay that is challenging enough, but not too challenging. A good variance from the prior God of War games, with some alternatives aside from the main quest, which is nice.

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said - God of War deserves every bit of the praise it has gotten. I've been a fan of the series since the first game until now. This game marks a huge departure from the tried and true model of the past, and its for the better. Epic scale, awesome graphics, a gripping & emotional story, combat that never gets boring, moments that you will remember for the rest of your gaming life. As a testament to how good this game is - my wife sat and watched me play through the entire story. I started a new play through the moment after I got the Platinum trophy. Do yourself a favor and play this game if you haven't already!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The combat was great and immersive and the story was amazing. I also enjoyed the puzzles and the difficulty was perfect. Best game on the PS4

Insane graphics - check. Excellent story - check. Action packed - check. Best god of war yet; wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the Norse vs Greek Gods change, but it was all very well done.

This is hands down the best GoW game and the best PS4 game. You will be totally immersed in this story, action, and setting of this game from the start. Kratos is back and better than ever.

Fun fact: I've played and beaten every single previous God of War game and this one ranks as the BEST. Amazing controls, story, dialogue, graphics, level structure...EVERYTHING!

God of War is the most visually stunning game that I've ever played. The visuals rival that of movies, and the story surpasses many films as well. The story of Kratos and Atreus is wonderful and moving as it shows a father and son's relationship shift as events in the world affect them in various ways. The visuals of the game made me a believer in HDR, as I had bought an HDR TV a few weeks prior to God of War. Once I started God of War, within five minutes, I was in awe of the HDR and the incredible visual effects of the game. It was my game of the yer for 2018 overall, and it is one of the best games of the generation in my opinion.

I love this game it take me back to my childhood. Will recommend this game .
