Wow this is the best game I have played ever, the graphics the story is flawless. This is the greatest game I ever played!!!

I got this game because I’m a big fan of the series. Played so far and it’s great!!!! Different take on the mythology in this one. But the goodies that come in this edition are awesome and the ring that comes with it actually fits me comfortably.

Been an fan since the first game and this one is an masterpiece and a must have.

This is the most anticipated game of this year and one of the best game of all time!

First off let me start by saying the 1 star review is for the way Best Buy does pre-orders. Will NEVER do another one with best buy. Only reason i did it with them is game stop messed mine up and ordered the wrong version of the game. And best buy was the only one that had it in stock at the time. Have to pay the entire thing and can't pay as you go. Think I'll stick with Game Stop from now on with my pre orders since you can pay on them here n there. The collection i got with this game was awesome.I'd definitely give that 5+ stars. Love the statue and all the figures that came with it. The cloth map is now framed and hanging on my wall as is the lithograph. The dlc was a little under whelming but really when isn't it. Have to figure out a way to display the head key chain and the ring. Now onto the game it's self. Graphics wise and the overall feel of playing it I'd give it 5 stars. The visuals in the different realms and the lake are off the charts. But past that it's not that great. Extremely repetitive enemies (only change what they do or give it ice or fire) and gets boring seeing the same things over and over and over and over. Not something you'd expect from a GOW game made these days (yes past ones do it as well but not to this degree). Like the addition of the story line with the kid as well (gets to the point though i wanted to chop his head off..lol). The addition of the head was funny as well with his smart elect comments. Don't see much replay value as like i said it gets repetitive. And the hardest enemies are actually side missions. Yes i'm referring to the Valkyries. The Valkyrie Queen...yeah right. Overall it could have been WAY WAY better. Hope future installments will think about the non repetitive enemies and stuff as well not just the graphics n stuff. Oh well at least I got a great collection out of it...lol

Can't go wrong the games an automatic game of the year

Came home to my package and noticed it was open and resealed with a brown tape which i o ly seen in warehouse, not so sure how to feel about the packaging.

First off the graphics of this game are amazing! The entire game is one continuous shot from beginning to end; which sounds cool but also it makes such a big difference in the immersion and enjoyment of the game. It has dark souls lite combat which is a huge step forward from some of the hack and slash tendencies of the earlier games in the series. The story and set pieces are amazing as usual with this series. I really liked the level progression and the skill tree system instead of a simple upgrade system. The same can be said for the weapons and armor. The exploration and the collectibles added a lot of fun without seeming like fluff to make the game longer. It has everything you could ask for in the collectors edition and very good quality. Highly recommended!

This is easily one of the defining games of the generation: gameplay-wise, story-wise, and graphically, GoW is outstanding. The story humanizes Kratos and crafts a beautiful and realistic relationship between him and his son. I spent ~70 hours platinuming this game and am still considering going back for NG+. The Stone Mason Edition has a high-quality statue with good painting and detail-work. The Mimir keychain is comical, but ultimately forgettable. The ring is a tad big if you're planning on wearing it, but is well-crafted just the same. And the small figurines are worth it if you're already planning to invest in a CE.

I had a lot of reservations going into the game with the huge shift in tone for the series and after playing the middling God of War Ascension. I was on the fence but decided to splurge for the Stone Mason Edition and boy am I glad that I did! A solid statue by Gentle Giant and the lithograph were worth it for me. I usually don't get hooked by games these days. Even the games I beat these days tend to take me at least a month or two. Not the case for God of War - I cruised through the game on Normal in a week. I almost never replay games but am thinking about giving this a go on Hard, as Normal was not as challenging as I expected it to be (although I've heard horror stories about the hardest difficulty, Give Me God of War, which I will likely avoid). With Soulsborne inspired combat, gorgeous visuals (especially on the PS4 Pro), and wonderful pacing, I could not put this game down until the final credits rolled. Now if I could only find some time to deal with those pesky optional bosses...

What more can be said that has not already? This game is a total masterpiece from top to bottom. Fantastic graphics, musical score, acting, etc.. But where this game truly shines is the depth of the super smooth combat system, and how well written the story and dialogue are with Kratos and Atreus. Prepare to be brought through an emotional journey with lots of ups and downs! The Stone Mason's Edition definitely made me an offer I could not refuse combined with GCU. Everything was so well packaged and of good quality. The statue itself is larger than I expected, has very good weight to it (does not feel 'cheap'), and is very well painted/detailed. No matter which version you choose, you will NOT be disappointed!

The game is great and the game feels more story driven and in depth than the previous hack and slash titles, a much welcomed change. The graphics are superb too. The statue is extremely detailed and painted very nicely. It's a much better quality statue than previous GOW statues that are released with limited editions. The other physical items are really cool too and all look very well made. The cloth map hides secrets to decipher as well! So does the steel book.

I purchased this along with the LE console. It was a total impulse buy. I had some reward certificates piled up and got the gamers club discount. The game itself is awesome. You get to see a different, mature side of Kratos with a fatherly touch. There is still plenty of slashing and mutilating moments staying true to the series. The set also comes with a nice looking display pieces, a map, a key chain and a nerd ring. All were nice and happy with my purchase

This is easily one of the most beautiful games to ever appear on a console. The story is truly worthy of film, the combat feels fresh, and the RPG elements keep the carrot on the stick. Exploring the world is really fun, every detail seems perfectly hand crafted and labored over. If you were a fan of the old GoW games, buy this. If you are just a fan of games, buy this game.

The game looks beautiful on the standard PlayStation. I'm only a couple of hours In and I'm enjoying the story so far. This is my first collectors edition I own. The statue is worth the price alone, but all the other stuff included is wonderful. Have everything already out on display. Just need to find room for the map and ring.

God of War is an awesome game! The graphic are astounding and story keeps you coming for more. The controls are totally different from the previous God of War. Somehow the creators of God of War Santa Monica Studio will have you pushing forward to find out what happens to Kratos and Atreus despite the new gameplay formula.

Finally God of War has made its triumphant return to PlayStation. This game is beautiful in every way; graphics, gameplay, and story. The stone mason edition gives you a lot for your money, and with the gamers club unlocked it's definitely a must have for any collector. The statue is worth the price alone.

This is a very well done restart of a franchise that had been on it's last leg. God of War 3 was a good game, but had failed to live up to it's predecessors, and Ascension was one that I couldn't really get into. When I saw the trailers for this one, it made me excited for the series again. The gameplay is the same old GOW, but it's adds many newer elements that take it to a new level for me. It's slightly open world, but not overwhelmingly so. The combat is still just as challenging as the old ones, but having Atreus as support makes it so much more diverse. As for the Stone Mason collector's edition items, I couldn't be happier. The large statue of Kratos and Atreus is so well detailed, and the smaller figurines are well designed too. If you are a fan of loot, I'd say get this.

Big fan of god of wars original games. There was no way I was going to miss this one. The Story is good, graphics on the ps pro are nuts and combat is insanely good. Side quests, leveling up and upgrading are interwoven seemlessltly. Go buy it!

The reboot of the series comes at a perfect time for the PS4 and the graphics, story line and game mechanics really shine through in this generation of hardware. Plus there are absolutely no load times!
