Critic Reviews for God of War
God of War's outstanding characters, world, and combat come together to form an unforgettable adventure.
Despite eye-catching changes, the heart of this series remains gloriously unaltered.
Kratos looks better than ever in this welcome PC port of one of the best action adventures of the outgoing generation.
A top-to-bottom revamp of the whole God Of War franchise that matches thrilling, if slightly shallow, combat and exploration with some impressively trenchant storytelling.
One of PlayStation's finest moments, Kratos has been reimagined for a new audience while keeping the best bits of what originally made him great.
An enthralling experience from beginning to end, with a mixture of great narrative moments and engaging encounters. God of War is a well-paced adventure that knows when to let the action simmer and when to make it boil over
