Reviews around play (4.74 of 5)

  • This is the best game I have ever played from any game era
  • One of the best, if not THE best PS4 game I have ever played
  • The play mechanics are so odd and poor that I had to stop plying the game and then come back to it with a mindset that this is like a Last of us type game with god of war like mythology
  • but it is the best PS4 game I’ve played this generation.
  • Some armor/clothing piece has slots for enchantments which effects statsEnemies attack you gorilla style as they can attack at anytime they want instead of gathering up in a circle and attacking one by one

Reviews around experience (4.56 of 5)

  • I went back and forward with this game hating then loving it and in the end was a great experience
  • The best gaming experience I have had since "The Witcher III", play this game!
  • All I could think about the entire time I played was how amazing this experience has been
  • Slow and unsatisfying combat with completely unnecessary and overcomplicated RPG nonsense cripple the experience down further, and boring "open world" water down the tedious sleepy experience further
  • So in ending all I have to say is that if you have a Playstation 4 this game is a must buy even if this is your first GoW or maybe you never liked GoW in the past this experience because that's what this game is is an experience you owe to yourself to pick up this game.

Reviews around ps4 (4.49 of 5)

  • This game's combat feels more akin to Resident Evil 4, than God of War
  • So far the best original ps4 game i played, santa monica did another masterpiece
  • but it is the best PS4 game I’ve played this generation.
  • One of the best, if not THE best PS4 game I have ever played
  • This is the game of the generation so far and you're doing yourself a disservice if you have a PS4 and you're missing out on this game.

Reviews around player (4.33 of 5)

  • One of the best single player games I have played in the last five years
  • I'm so happy that good single player games are coming out, and the success of this one should let other companies know we still want them
  • However, it's a lot of fun and, of course,all those players who are probably a lot better than I am may not have any trouble at all with those hugemonsters.
  • Simply one of the best single player gamesin ages with combat ranging from fun and part of an amazing and immersive story to more difficult than I can manage even on simple encounters (for now).This is the first God of War game where I definitely felt like I was a god
  • In the 15 years of gaming I have partaken, this is my Favorite Single player game of all time, briefly played previous God of War titles (literally for a total of 5 hours between all the games) but had no

Reviews around gameplay (4.07 of 5)

  • They replaced a fast-paced, intense hack and slash gameplay from 1-3, with an excruciatingly slow, bad rip-off dark souls gameplay
  • The gameplay, which is what you’ll be doing with.... a game, is cringe worthy
  • I have heard nothing but cursing for hours they ruined the gameplay big time R1 L1 for everything which is awkward at best trying to manipulate camera pain in the
  • This game is a masterpiece amazing story, amazing gameplay and amazing Norse mythology and lore
  • Graphics are amazing, gameplay is amazing, story is fascinating.

  • I enjoyed the older God of War games, but this one is by far the best!
  • Best God of War ever and best game I've played in a while

Reviews around combat (3.53 of 5)

  • Fantastic story with awesome and epic combat and fights.
  • Initial Combat is Restrictive ~ It's one of my only gripes, but when the story starts out you have very restricted options for
  • Absolute must have for anyone that enjoys a single player narrative, with a gripping story, fast, brutal combat and a beautiful world
  • Incredible story, combat, graphics and everything in between
  • Amazing storytelling and graphics and the combat is just flawless

Reviews around way (3.49 of 5)

  • Enemies fight you the way they might've fought in previous GOW games, but since Kratos now fights with "Tank Controls", his ability to fight well is greatly diminished
  • The difficulty can go either way for a gamer, and this is a difficult game, but you have ample opportunity to explore in order to get better gear and you organically adapt to the combat system
  • Here is a single player game that does things the right way
  • It's a good way to make people feel like the game is long though!
  • Not once have I felt like he was in the way or unnecessary to the mission at hand, nor does utilizing his skills to fend off

Reviews around character (3.46 of 5)

  • The story is well told and engaging with great characters.
  • They took a boring, bland, angry character and turned him into a deep, complex, sympathetic father
  • They’re beautiful as well as the characters themselves.
  • Definitely must play if you like sorta-open world sorta-RPG games with a great story and characters
  • There’s plenty of other great side characters, but I don’t want to give them all

Reviews around map (1.80 of 5)

  • This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't spend ages rowing or walking to these places with a rather unhelpful map, no means of fast travel and no indication that I'm wasting my time and probably shouldn't bother till end game
  • Some armor/clothing piece has slots for enchantments which effects statsEnemies attack you gorilla style as they can attack at anytime they want instead of gathering up in a circle and attacking one by one
  • You can swing and throw the axe at enemies and fun to master as you have to judge the timing of when the axe will return to you as without your
  • Great combat system, crafting is present but not overwhelming, skills tree is actually fun, menu is quick, the map is manageable, the story is so good, and I can keep going
  • Except for the horrible, horrible map and navigation system

Reviews around kid (1.63 of 5)

  • And he probably looks like that because of his annoying kid
  • Yes, the kid gets annoying at times, but what kid doesn't
  • The kid is annoying for a while, but you miss him when he goes silent and you have to use his skills in order to progress past the bosses and tougher challenges.
  • Climbing walls reminds me of uncharted, with the kid letting down chains for you like the last of us
  • Kid doesn't look at all like him.

Reviews around lack (1.38 of 5)

  • You can swing and throw the axe at enemies and fun to master as you have to judge the timing of when the axe will return to you as without your
  • The absolute only negative I have about the game is the lack of over the top great boss battles
  • Fantastic game graphically, but the terrible LACK of actual fighting, immediacy, fury, grandeur, tons of enemies, horrendous mythical monsters, majestic battle set pieces, all key characteristics of the other GOW games, kills this game
  • Lack of past experience is not a hindrance and the game is just downright fun.
  • you have to do a lot of backtracking and the horrible map and lack of a useful fast travel

Reviews around souls (1.00 of 5)

  • Though I would say this game is better than Dark Souls in the respect that it actually has a storyline.
  • Being interrupted regularly during attacks because you forgot to play the game like the Dark Souls it was modeled after.
  • Alot different from the old God of War games, feels alot like Dark Souls a little
  • I don't feel like I'm mapping the enemies moves like a Dark Souls game because the HUD is flashing warnings all over
  • This game is a blend of Dark Souls, Lara Croft, or Last of Us almost exactly

Reviews around sequel (1.00 of 5)

  • While the game does have its own self-contained story that reaches a downright beautiful ending (one of my favorites from any game ever), it also leaves enough open-ended questions to leave room for the inevitable sequel
  • But this sequel is a boring abomination to otherwise great series.
