God Of War Review – A Cinematic Masterpiece
When it comes to reinventing game franchises, 2018's God of War is about as drastic as it gets. The original three God of War games were all critical and commercial successes, and were known to be linear experiences with fixed camera angles and a penchant for action-packed gameplay, with story...

Most of the combat and gameplay mechanics have been completely overhauled, like the fixed camera that's been replaced with a third-person over-the-shoulder free camera, as well as the addition of a companion.

God of War
Traditionally, God of War 's barbarous antihero, Kratos, has long been synonymous with severed heads and limbs and all sorts of other delirious horrors visited upon his enemies. This, however, isn't the picture of Kratos that 2018's God of War is drawn to.

God of War Review – PS4
Rare is the game that's confident: uncompromising in its identity, unyielding in its cohesion and sense of self. Rarer still is the game that stays genuine and true while being so informed by its contemporaries.

God of War PS4 Review
I was always a critic of a Greek god being in an entirely different realm with different rules. I thought for sure the game was just using Kratos and the God of War IP to get it over the marketing line, but I've been proven massively wrong. This is a God of War game, and it's fucking brilliant.

God of War is the perfect trifecta of innovative gameplay, gorgeous visuals and engrossing narrative. It's a game that grabbed me from its opening moments and had me holding my breath for almost 30 hours.
