Critic Reviews for God of War
There is no question that God of War is an exceptional game. But the magic on display with the PC port pushes an already tremendous game to new heights and offers some key features that will help it run well on a variety of modern machines. At this point, if gamers have the means to play God of War they should, and even if it’s a replay of the PC version is still well worth checking out.
God of War's outstanding characters, world, and combat come together to form an unforgettable adventure.
Sony Santa Monica has evolved Kratos in God of War and in the process delivered a technical and narrative showpiece that any PS4 fan should be proud of.
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.
