I haven't played this game in about two years and everytime I scroll past this game on my library or the steam store it just genuinely pisses me off. The most boring puzzles and kratos (the god of war) swinging his axe like a pool noodle for hours against the same reskinned enemies doing the same 3 finishers over and over. Oh remember the seemingly badass giant with a stone pillar in the beginning you fight ? Don't …

This game officially gets the award for being the game that I never thought I would love. I have a bit of a bias and usually prefer female protagonist based games, so I have avoided this one for years. I’m a cozy gamer, and there is nothing cozy about Kratos lol. Can't always judge a book by its cover tho, because this has hands down become my favourite action-adventure game. It’s the father and son interactions …

The story is emotional, mature, and engaging from beginning to end. The journey of Kratos and Atreus feels personal and meaningful, while still delivering epic moments inspired by Norse mythology. The pacing is excellent, and the narrative kept me invested throughout the entire adventure. The characters are one of the game's greatest strengths. Kratos is portrayed with much more depth than in previous games, showing …

I went in thinking I’d get an epic action experience, and I did, but I wasn’t prepared for how beautifully the story would unfold. I’ll just say it from the heart: this is one of the most amazing, dynamic and beautiful game I’ve ever played. The combat feels powerful and weighty in the best way. And the Leviathan Axe? I genuinely can’t get enough of it. There’s something so ridiculously satisfying about launching it …

Amazing game. The story starts mysterious but gets really good toward the end. The fights are intense, the weapons and upgrades feel great, and even Atreus becomes braver and more useful as you go. Great gameplay and emotional moments. totally worth playing!

93% of the 254 Steam reviewers we collected recommend God of War. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive enemy types and combat. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
God of War received "universal acclaim" from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic, tying it with the original God of War for the highest score in the franchise. It has the fourth-highest score of all-time for a PlayStation 4 game, and the highest score for an original, non-remastered PlayStation 4 exclusive. It was the highest rated PlayStation 4 game of 2018 until the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in October, which pushed God of War to second. It is also tied with the Xbox One version of Celeste for the second-highest score of 2018 regardless of platform. God of War received particular praise for its art direction, graphics, combat system, music, story, use of…

60 of 821 · most liked firstI knew this would happen well before the game was announced, but I am genuinely getting 50% ‘you ruined God of War’ and 50% ‘you didn’t do anything, liar’ and it is going to be so funny to watch when the game comes out. If they hate it, I’m the game director. If they like it, I was an intern.

neutral · AI labelView post →I really don’t get the issue with this God of War game right now. It’s Kratos wife, she’s already established in this entire world, and people now have a problem that we’re playing as her, and we’re getting to see why Kratos loved her. Legit people have a problem playing as a woman lmao.
