God of War Reviews

Incredible gameplay and story.

I grew up with an Xbox, so never had the chance to play any God of War games until I finally splurged and bought a PC. I can confidently say that God of War is one of the best games I have played personally. If you are looking for an engaging story, incredible visuals, and an overall great experience this game is for you. While the fighting mechanics aren't a Souls game level of difficulty, for someone who hasn't played many fighting/combat games previously, I found this game to be challenging enough to the point that I wasn't absolutely flying through the main story. I would highly recommend this game to anyone!

This game is trying to tackle a lot of things at once, things such as Family Ties, Revenge, Redemption and the Past to name a few. And it tackles them successfully and with a lot of maturity and understanding. From the few but very great characters that it introduces to an amazing retelling of Norse mythology done in their own style. Gameplay is pretty great and fun and most battles dont last too long. Puzzles were basic but still nicely done. I was not a fan of the constant parkour and climbing (it does get annoying after the first 3 hours). Great music and amazing Voice Acting which makes the world and characters feel even more alive. Definitely recommend this at full price.

Exceptional, truly one of the best games ever made. I loved the story from start to finish and even insta bought ragnarok just a couple of hours into this game. 10/10

Legendary story with great gameplay

Can't get enough of it. Story is immersive and simplistic gameplay.

The story, acting and graphics are awesome. Shame the main part of the the gameplay (the combat) is not fun. If You want a story, buy and play on easy. If You want a great combat experience, search elsewhere.

Still one of the best and most beautiful games you can play to this day. The authors’ love for their work and the final product can be felt throughout. Insanely atmospheric locations, rich in lore and captivating with architectural elegance. Amazing and extremely interesting characters, fascinating stories and exciting quests. A caring broad-shouldered God of War who has grown wiser since his past adventures and has gotten himself an awesome axe... What more could you possibly want? 10/10 - story 10/10 - characters 10/10 - gameplay 4/10 - difficulty in getting 100% of achievements

(Note: I started on the "Give me a challenge" Difficulty and reduced the difficulty later on) I was hoping the combat would've been engaging and the enemies weren't sponges but that what combat in this game is. The story was good (I only completed until mid way through the elven realm) but combat was just not fun and too uninteresting to continue playing. Higher difficulties show the spongy enemy problem even more (Especially during the early game).

As someone who never played the original trilogy or Greek Saga (or whatever they called it), this game is one of the best games I have ever played. The story is just superb. It feels like watching a movie. Yes, it keeps a lot of detail hidden for the sake of the sequel and forces me to watch recap videos because the ending did not answer all of my questions, nevertheless, it has a good narrative. As for Atreus, at first I thought he would be an annoying companion. Being a kid and all, but to my surprise, he is so well written. Especially during mid-game, when he has to handle some big reveal. That's how I imagine a kid will react and reminds me a lot of my own son. Now for the gameplay. It started out as simple as strike, guard, and parry, but it's become more complex as the game progressed and I unlocked more skills, runes, weapons, and armor upgrades. I usually don't care much about a build in story-driven games, but the side quests push me to my limit. I lost count of how many times I died fighting "The Nine" at Balance difficulty. Started New Game+ now, and I'm definitely going to buy Ragnarok.
