Incredible narrative single player experience. Sometimes all I want in a game is a straightforward cinematic story with decent enough 3rd person adventure/action gameplay. God of War ticks both of those boxes with ease, I was completely immersed in it’s incredible story and world.
I played the PS2 games as a kid and I don’t have much recollection of them besides: “bad-ass guy kills greek gods and there’s blood and boobs and shit”. So I never really saw this saga as a prime example of storytelling, but man this definitely took the series in an amazing and more mature direction while keeping and paying homage to the PS2 games. I love the whole Kratos is a now a broken man shtick, I could hear him talk with Atreus all day.
Gameplay-wise it’s pretty straightforward and there were some challenging bosses as well. Nothing mindblowing to be honest, but very entertaining.
Can’t wait to play Ragnarok once it comes out on PC!

Об этой игре было много сказано прекрасного. Я лишь напишу ещё один пятизвёздный отзыв. Но добавлю кое-что: это не по праву лучшая игра 2018-го года. Её место должна занимать Red Dead Redemption II с её глубоко проработанным открытым миром и масштабной сюжетной линией.
Гадовор вышел офигенным, но не настолько: схватки с рескинованными боссами портят впечатление, а открытого и живого мира нет. Третья по-прежнему остаётся лучшей для меня, ведь там безумное количество боссфайтов с неимоверно крутой концовкой

N tem muito o que falar. Esse aqui é cinema! Outro jogaço que sempre quis jogar e finalmente consegui. Não dou 10 pq em alguns momentos senti o jogo meio monotono e repetitivio (ou talvez eu que tenha demorado naqueles enigmas da arvore dos 7 reinos sksksk). Mas n demorou muito pro jogo entrar em uma ação crescente e chegar em um ápice épico, tal qual o inico do game. A história é boa pra caralho, ela salvou bastante nesses momentos mais monotonos com as interações e diálos entre os dois protagonistas. Menção honrosa para os Irmãos anões e a Cabeça, que trouxeram um carisma muito bem vindo pro game.
I was extremely impressed by the story, the voice-acting, the graphics and the seamless gameplay-to-cutscene transitions. The gameplay was very enjoyable too. However, I feel that the combat wasn't too varied (although there's rarely anything more satisfying than the feedback of throwing your axe) and the enemies acted a bit too predictable for me. Still, the boss fights all felt epic and world-shaking!
