Get PS4 just for this game!!!
I’ve been playing Xbox for a long time now. All my friends have it and thats just the way its been. Ive owned all the Playstation models released so nothing against Sony or the PS. Ive also played and finished all the God of War of games and loved every minute of them. When I saw the new one with a slightly aged Kratos I was very interested...so much so I ordered a PS4 Pro just to play it. I set everything up tonight and popped the disc in. I have to say the opening scene alone was incredible! The visuals are jaw dropping and the audio in my theater room is some of the best Ive heard in a while. This was all excellent but I still didnt get to try this new game style something that was totally different than previous iterations of the game. I dont want to ruin anything but I played until I met someone willing to upgrade my Levithian Axe. All I could think about the entire time I played was how amazing this experience has been. The way the snow pushes out of the way when you or Atreus walks through it is mind blowing. The combat system so far has been very cool a welcome addition to the franchise in my opinion. Fast paced, but not as hectic hack and slash as previous games...It just feels more controlled and I love throwing the Axe! The story is very cool so far and Kratos has this maturity to him thats just awesome (dont worry hes still a beast!). Overall Id say purchasing a PS4 for this game alone was well worth it!! Dont hesitate to pick this one up and experience something completely out of this world! Update 4/23/18: So I spent the weekend playing this masterpiece! I was kind of happy were still thawing from a blizzard. I gotta say GoW actually gets better and better as you play. I know a lot of people miss the blades of kaos and the frantic hack and slash but I just love the combat in this game! As I got out of the woods and headed towards the mountain, Im just blown away by the scope of this game, i find myself looking up just to take in the whole “picture”. I still dont want to post any spoilers but the scenery and locations I’ve seen are incredible! The size of the creatures and landscapes is enormous, even the Godly Kratos is dwarfed in size by the things this game presents. I can truly say this is probably the best video game I’ve ever played.

Impressive
I'm only maybe halfway through the game, if that, but I haven't had any issues so far. The game is very well designed, and a joy to play; the story is compelling, and original, immersive, and unintrusive. This game innovates, but still feels like God of War; And Atreyu hasn't once proven a hindrance so far (you can tell the dev team put a lot of thought into designing this game). I'd like to note that while the axe is the only weapon that kratos can wield (I think; which is new, as Kratos would usually obtain multiple weapons in previous titles), said axe and Kratos' and Atreyu's gear and skills are so heavily upgradeable and customizeable, and the axe's mechanics are so polished, that I don't expect that many people will be bothered. As a fan of the GOW series, I did initially feel somewhat disappointed when I started the game and immediately realized that some version of the blades of chaos wouldn't play a role in this game; but there's a really nice nod to their importance in the series (and their significance to Kratos) in one of the first scenes (it may actually be the first scene, watch the bandages on Kratos' arms, you really can't miss it unless you're not paying attention); and once you get into the game, you won't miss them for long; as the axe is really fun to use once you're accustomed to it. You can't jump in this game, which feels slightly off at first; but it's easy to understand why once you've got a grasp on the differences between this game and older titles. Another thing that you won't miss for long. I knocked off one star because the game is a linear/open world hybrid in design; which in itself is fine, but it' can be somewhat difficult to find your way around, and there are several locations and items in the game which can't be accessed until progressing in the game; which means that the player will need to backtrack a lot; which is made somewhat inconvenient due to the only partially open world design. This seems to be addressed later in the game though, as the fast travel system gets upgraded over the course of the game (you can return to specific locations via magic doorways scattered throughout "the realms"). Also, boats could be a bit faster in open water and could steer a bit more smoothly. Honestly, the few issues I've brought up here are nitpicks; God of War has never really been an open world series. It's only difficult to navigate because the world is full of twists and turns and detours by design; because GOW games have always been designed this way (mazelike, full of puzzles, that's a huge part of the appeal); and that's something that's difficult to translate into an open world. The Dev team has honestly done an amazing job balancing the history and expectations of the series with the new direction this entry takes. 9.7/10 update: so, fast travel does become available late in the game; and most of the items and areas in the game not directly related to the central plot seem to have been added for replayability; to extend the game beyond the story, instead of as a compliment to the story; so it's mostly just extra, post-game content. Navigation also becomes easier when you realize that everything is accessible from the big lake in the center of the map. There's one other thing I was wrong about but I don't want to spoil the plot so I'll keep it to myself. updated to 5 stars, 10/10.

Masterpiece game of the year top contender for sure!
This game is a game where everyone involved put their full creativity into it. This is a game every competitive gamer should experience. The bots are amazing and well coordinated to keep you challenged every minute of the game. It is non stop action and countless boss fights. What I love the most about this game is that it is challenging for even the most experienced gamer even on the easiest difficulty you will encounter a boss that will make it worth your bucks. I am currently playing this game on the hardest difficulty and currently seeing my buddies struggle with even the easiest difficulty. I am usually the gamer who passes single player games in 2-3 days. However, this game playing in the hardest difficulty, not rushing because it is such a great game, as well playing all the side missions can say this game is EPIC. Hours and HOURS of fun. Even in 1080p the game looks amazing. I have found absolutely no glitches while playing this game which is a plus in todays gaming standards. Combat system is one of the best out there. The story is actually quite intriguing but I will leave you guys to find out! I would buy this game twice just to support santa monica studios. That's how great this game is! For those giving bad reviews because of the codes Review the seller and not the game. My code worked as soon as I received it through EMAIL! I have always pre ordered on amazon and received all bonus pre orders as expected hard to take other people credible when they have issues with codes. Game is a must have ignore the code reviews.

If you own a PS4, you need to own God of War! Thank me later.
One of the Best action adventure games of 2018 hands down. I've been following the God Of War series since the original Playstation and this latest iteration is the best so far. You DO NOT have to play the prior games in order to follow the series, it seems Santa Monica Studio has made a different story but still keeps the G.O.W. legacy going. Here's my take on it the story, I would compare this to the latest Wolverine movie as an analogy. It's been many years since GOW 3, an aging Kratos has left Greek universe and now running away from his past is trying to start new in the Norse universe, where he wanted to live a quiet life. After his second wife dies and leave him with his son Atreus, his wife's dying wish is to scatter her ashes on the top of the highest mountain which Atreus wants to complete with great enthusiasm. As they prepare and wait for Atreus to get over a sickness, the shadowy and menacing Norse God, Baldur appears at their door and forces Kratos to face his past. This is were the game starts and their journey to fulfill Krato's wife's dying wish begins. The game is different from the past GOW games. Kratos now wields the Leviathan Axe, a weapon left to him by his late wife. In the past, Kratos had the blades of chaos with it's long reach gave players a sense of comfort knowing it will reach enemies keeping them at a good distance even from behind. This sort of weapon made past GOW games more of a hack and slash, button mashing type of game. It's still this way don't get me wrong but to less of an extent and more on precision. The Leviathan Axes are now my favorite weapon for Kratos. It forces players to get out of their "keeping enemies at a safe distance" and get them out of their comfort zone. As you play and develop both Kratos and Atreus, the story of father and son pulls you in and makes you closer to their characters and their dysfunctional relationship. I give this game the best score for enjoyment of playing the game and well as the story line. The creators somehow pulled out a rabbit out of their hats when creating this story of continuing the GOW franchise. At first it seemed stupid but as the story and game play progress the story is perfect.

Possibly the Best PS4 Game Out and Maybe Even 2018's Game of the Year
This will probably end up being my favorite game of 2018. If something else is better than this in 2018 then this was a really good year for video games. I won't go too deep in to the story because of easy things to spoil. You are Kratos, the Greek god of war...and last remaining Greek god. After the events of God of War 3 Kratos traveled to a new land, fell in love, took a new wife, and had a son. The game starts with your wife having just passed so you and your son decide to travel to the tallest peak in the land to spread her ashes. Then a stranger knocks on your door... The combat is pretty different from the original games. You now have a returning frost axe (think of a mix between Thor's axe, Jarnborn, and his hammer, Mjolnir) and can go between using it, its runic abilities, and your fists. Your son, Atreus, can also assist in combat. You can upgrade you and your son's abilities as well as equip new abilities and loot. You can also upgrade, craft, and discover new items as you go. The graphics are fantastic, especially on a PS4 Pro. The soundtrack is also amazing. So far this competes with Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn for one of the best looking games I've played (including PC). The game is also open world, a first for the series, and also has side quests...another first! If you like God of War games give this a try or if you like action adventure games. If you have a Ps4 I think you should definitely at least rent this to see if its something you enjoy. I am about 40+ hours into the game and I still have stuff to do.

A gorgeous, emotional, fast-paced and thoughtful installment in the God of War series
A gorgeous, emotional, fast-paced and thoughtful installment in the God of War series. Kratos is still the beastly and enraged protagonist we all know and love, but this series adds a totally different dimension to his character: Being a dad. It is simply fascinating to watch Kratos rip off the head of an enemy in one scene, and then sternly--yet softly--instruct his son how to be a warrior the next. There are even moments in the game when Kratos has to resist showing too much affection towards his teachable, but fallible, sidekick. Teaching him too softly, he reasons, will not serve him well going forward. On that note, Atreus is hardly a burden. His quick wit and fiery dedication to Kratos makes him a surprisingly useful and fun companion. Not once have I felt like he was in the way or unnecessary to the mission at hand, nor does utilizing his skills to fend off foes interrupt your present concerns/encounters. In fact, as you will find out, you will struggle to defeat certain enemies without him. The story is clearer and engaging than past entries, with the transitions between cutscenes and gameplay a totally seamless experience. The action ramps up quickly, the puzzles are challenging and rewarding, and the landscape is worth exploring. This is all I will say for now. This is an experience worth playing to be believed!

Pretty good, not the killer he once was
This is a game that story wise is pretty good. The problem is other than kratos's new voice actor being fantastic and its visuals, it's a step down in every way compared to classics. At first your wondering hey where are the blades of chaos, than you think oh it's because he doesnt want to hit atreus(boy) but very early in the game boy starts jumping on and choking enemies it can even be comboed with kratos hitting the enemy he chokes. Mild spoiler the in game reason he doesnt use the boc is because he swore off them as part of his redemption. Let's all be honest noone who truly enjoys god of war expected kratos not to kill everyone he sees, so it's really weird when he comes off so subdued like his wife was an emasculating feminist. The beginning of the game kratos gets slapped by a visitor and didnt even immediately rip his head off. The worst part of the whole game is Boy he whines alot, catches attitude with kratos and even dares to attack him.

Annoyingly Good
I actually wanted to give this game a bad rating, but I just can't. I am the opposite of the current video game trends, I love hack and slash/button mashers, I hate open world and I hate difficult. Especially difficulty, I'll never understand why dying over and over again is fun to people. I want to feel powerful in a game, high difficulty is the opposite of that. Life itself is difficult and I am powerless, why do I want the same in a video game? I digress, but what I just described is exactly what God of War USED to be. It is now more difficult, it is MUCH less hack and slash, and it is open world. Everything I like about video games tells me to hate this game, especially considering that the previous games were right up my alley. But the game is just so well put together. Every time I die I feel like I don't like the difficulty and is too high but then it only takes me one more try to defeat who just killed me. This means they have tweaked the difficulty just right. I don't notice what some people are complaining about with the font being small but then again I play just 4 feet away from a 65" TV. Every time I feel like the game is getting boring something fun or exciting happens. So as much as I would like to hate this game I keep playing it, and keep surprising myself when i get farther despite it being more difficult than every other entry in the series.
