God of War Reviews
God of War goes above and beyond with its storytelling and gameplay to not only become the game of the year, but quite possibly the best PS4 exclusive to date.
God of War is a technical achievement and a damn good game. It occasionally prioritizes visual flare and storytelling over compelling gameplay, but that just means it’s a different type of game from its predecessors. Whether it’s better or worse will depend on what you’re after. I enjoyed the story, the writing, and the characters. While I was disappointed with the combat at times, it still had incredible moments that made me feel like an actual god of war for the first time since this series began.
God of War manages to keep the soul of the franchise intact while drastically changing its tone to a grounded story about father and son, making God of War one of the greatest achievements of this console generation.
Great story and narrative combined with phenomenal and modernized gameplay and flawless graphics and sound design, all mix up to make God of War one of the most memorable games of recent times. Following the story of Kratos who once was a killer machine but is now struggling to raise his son is an engaging and at times, an emotional experience. It is very clear that the risk taken by Santa Monica Studios has paid off and we can't wait to see the next installment in this groundbreaking series.

God of War is one of the defining games of this generation, holistically reinventing the action game wheel and grafting humanity and emotion into a series previously devoid. A stellar technical achievement in every aspect and a thoughtful, unmissable work of art that shouldn't just be experienced by gamers.
With this new God of War, Santa Monica Studios managed to perfectly refresh the franchise without losing its essence, making it the best entry ever made.

God of War is an amazing masterpiece that you won't soon forget.
It's not just Kratos' appearance and maturity that's changed, but so has the God of War formula. Everything has grown up and with it you're left with an unforgettable adventure that will stay with you long after you put the controller down.
This is how you do a reboot. After Kratos lost his way, Sony Santa Monica has set the God of War on a new path. A more measure, nuanced character, a great supporting cast, an excellent combat system, and some of the best graphics in the PlayStation 4 game to-date add up to a winner.
