God of War (PlayStation 4) Review
God of War is an exceptionally solid action game that delivers the epic scope the series is known for, but in a new way. While many of the plot elements are a bit forced at times, the characters themselves are well written and performed very naturally.

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.
Pros:
- Stunning visuals
- Great soundtrack
- Solid gear upgrade system
- Interesting depiction of Norse mythology
- Massive open-world free to explore
- Excellent challenges and puzzles
- A lot of optional content
- Dynamic combat system
Cons:
- Story could have been better
- Few epic fights in story mode
- Strong characters
- but relationship falls flat
- Combat can become repetitive
- Skill tree can use some improvements

- Excellent storytelling and great use of Kratos' character
- Stunning graphics
Cons:
- The combat is highly enjoyable but relatively simplistic, at least on normal difficulty
- Slightly uninspired enemy designs and repetitive puzzles

PS4 Review - 'God of War'
Buy God of War It's fitting that God of War opens with a Norse funeral pyre. Jaded fans could see it as a symbolic "death" of a character and gameplay style they love, altered forever by the inclusion of some kid they saw in the demos and trailers. Kratos has gone soft, they might say.

This is a skull-smashing story about making mistakes and taking responsibility. While hacking and slashing their enemies, a father and son build bonds of love and loyalty. God of War is a minor masterpiece.
