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.

God of War
Kratos has changed, and with him, God of War. This is the first game in the saga created from scratch for PlayStation 4, and it comes five years after God of War: Ascension. Behind it there's a seven-game legacy (two on PS2, two on PSP, two on PS3, and one on mobile) that has always followed the...

God of War Review
I expected great action from and it delivers that handily. But I didn't expect it to be a thrilling journey in which every aspect of it complements the others to form what is nothing short of a masterpiece.

The apple doesn't fall far from Yggdrasil - God of War review
It's very rare that a game grabs me this completely, but God of War is, without a doubt, an early contender for Game of the Year. It's flawless in its execution, and the new benchmark for action titles. Well done, Santa Monica Studios, and thanks for taking us on this entirely new adventure.
Pros:
- 4K and gorgeous in every way
- Heavily varied environments
- Voiceovers and soundtrack are incredible
- Combat is fast paced and engaging
- Upgrade mechanics are a fantastic shot in the arm for the series
- Surprisingly emotional and engaging storyline
Cons:
- Occasional hitch to framerate on loading

- Excellent main story with great characters
- Tons of side content that further develops the lore and setting of the game
- Excellent combat with engaging skill tree and combo system
- Crafting is rewarding but optional
- Textures are beautifully...

God Of War review
Whether you're cracking open a treasure chest or an ogre's skull, you'll find God of War is one of the prettiest games to ever grace the PlayStation 4. From the goriest kill animations to the postcard-perfect environments, the game is a retina-searing stunner on the same level of other recent PS4 exclusives like Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4. And while it sets the PS4 Pro firing on all cylinders, don't sweat it if you haven't upgraded to the new hardware – God of War will have no problem dropping your jaw on a standard system. Couple the eye-popping presentation with the game's phenomenal storytelling, combat, and character-moulding depth, and we expect to see God of War again when game of the year awards are handed out.
Pros:
- Fantastic father-son dynamic
- Insanely satisfying combat
- Rewarding progression system
- Stunning visual presentation
Cons:
- World navigation can be a bit confusing

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.
Pros:
- Beautifully told and personal story
- Wonderful world design
- Immersive Soundtrack
- Fun and engaging combat system
Cons:
- Backtracking
- but that's nitpicking
