God of War Reviews
Despite some slight performance issues, God of War not only lands on PC well but also proves to be a much more natural fit for the platform than any other PS4 exclusive so far.
Supporting everything from mainstream entry-level hardware to the latest in GeForce and Radeon tech. Basically, you can make any of the above look like it did on PS4, PS4 Pro, or even go beyond what's possible on the PS5.
In terms of graphics and controls, the PC version of God of War is perfectly built for PC. If you have always been interested in the God of War franchise but unable to play it due to game console exclusiveness, now is your perfect chance to experience the greatness of God of War. Before release of God of War: Ragnarök, experiencing the next-gen God of War will be a good choice for the die-hard fans of this franchise.

Disregarding my skepticism with Sony exclusives, God of War showed me an adventure full of heart and emotion, a journey without brakes in both action and drama, mirroring an unstable but believable relationship between father and son. Thankfully all fans of the master race, in quotes, will be able to jubilate together due to the quality of the port and an experience that is, at the very least, a must-see. Adding to the list of accomplishments is the fun gameplay and memorable exploration. I will admit, however, that the boss fights disappointed a bit because of their repetitiveness. Other than that? After twenty-five hours of adventure I may still not believe in the Norse gods, but I certainly believe in God of War. Let's have the sequel yesterday.

A breathtaking epic journey and a masterpiece on all levels. Here's the best game of 2018 coming to PC to enable a larger segment of lucky players to live this magical experience for the first time--and perhaps the envy of millions of gamers who would love to forget about the experience and play it from scratch all over again.

At the end of the day, God of War on PC is, well, God of War on PC. That might sound like a trite way to describe this port, but the fact that I found no major drawbacks or issues with this version of the game is basically all that you can hope for when publishers bring a console game to PC. The end product here shows that PlayStation is becoming much more experienced with this PC porting process, which isn't just a great thing for God of War, but it bodes well for the company's future plans in this space. If you somehow haven't played God of War already, now is the time to rectify that mistake and prepare for the arrival of Ragnarok later in 2022.
All in all, this PC version is a jewel within an even greater jewel which is God of War. The four years of waiting are therefore more than justified and, above all, do not weigh in the slightest on the game's performance. God of War has not aged, it has even improved and contributes to the already huge pool of games for PC users. Through a fine porting work, and thanks to the bases of excellence, we speak of a video game that should not be missing in the libraries of any fan.

God of War is a lore heavy game with a seemingly endless supply of pickups, quests, and side dialogue centered around Norse mythology and the relationship between a father, Kratos, and his young son Atreus.
The PC version of God of War goes to show that it remains one of the best action and adventure games. There is no equal.

God of War is an excellent entry in the iconic series that is accessible even without playing the original games and still feels fresh four years after its initial release.

If you always wanted to play God of War, but never owned a PS, this is the perfect moment to try this legend on PC. The port is solid, and technical shortcomings aren't serious enough to prevent you from having fun with this phenomenal slasher. If you know GoW from PS4, you probably want to ignore this release – there's nothing new compared to the original.

A visually superior game is still fun when playing it, even years later.

Playing God of War should be a must. Possibly we are facing one of the best games of the past generation, if not the best. Now you can play it on PC and you can also enjoy it like never before. This is the second time that I finish it and I have enjoyed it like a child, if you did not play it before or consider it, run to enjoy it.

God of War isn't drastically different on PC when compared to the PS4 version that launched back in 2018, but its little improvements are definitely nice ones, making this a solid PC port overall. There isn't reason enough here to buy a second copy of the game if you've already played, necessarily, but the PC version is a great reason to check out God of War for the first time for anybody who hasn't had a chance to experience it. God of War remains an excellent, gorgeous, affecting action game, and with the port to PC, it gets a handful of nice, if somewhat minor, improvements.
Even if you’ve played God Of War on the PS4, it’s more than worth going back for another trip up the mountain.
God of War is a great port of one of the PlayStation 4's biggest games. PC gamers have all of the graphics options they could really want, and the game's origins mean that even fairly modest gaming PCs can push for high frame rates and resolutions. If you've not already played the game on PlayStation, this is a great chance to catch up ahead of Ragnarok's highly anticipated release.
God of War is a narrative gem. What it lacks in pacing and agency, it more than triumphs in writing, acting, and directing. What it results in is a deeply emotive story about a familial relationships and the ties that bind us. With a sequel just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get into this series. As part of Sony’s directive to bring more of its beloved franchises to PC, I’m glad it settled on one of the PS4’s most popular titles.
Whether you're revisiting the frozen Norse realm or diving into Kratos and Atreus' journey for the first time, there's never been a better way to experience this epic tale.
God of War is even better than it was in 2018 thanks to the power of the PC. With an uncapped framerate, native 4K and Ultra-Wide Screen support the game looks amazing and plays even better. If you're new to the series, this is the place to start.
