God of War 2018 is an absolutely amazing game. I will admit, when I first started playing the game I did not enjoy it. I found the story to be great but the enemies were extremely tanky making combat a huge slog. While you may find this dumb I ended up switching my difficulty to easy so I could still enjoy the game. The story is absolutely amazing and my favorite part of the game. The characters were fantastic and kratos is an all time goat. I do enjoy the combat a lot especially on easy difficulty and there are some amazing bosses. But a lot of the gameplay and exploration is very bland and can be improved on.
Overall this game is fantastic and a huge recommend if you haven't played it already for some reason. 9/10

There are games as Games and there are games as vehicles for stories and there are games that are meta.
This game is all three of those things, and while it teases things that simply do not matter til the sequel it succeeds in telling the story it wants to tell in a far more mature way than I expected.
Notably though there are too many reskins of boss enemies, and the puzzles vary from braindead to weirdly confusing.
Still gets my recomendation for Best Dad Game.

One of the best, if not the best, reboot in video game franchise history. Kratos feels so HUMAN in both his character and trauma as he explores what it means to grief while also facing his past as he learns to be a better father. I already loved the God of War franchise as it is, but Kratos and Atreus story genuinely brought tears to my eyes while making me feel connected to a story like never before. The world, its characters, the introduction of new characters such as the world serpent and the stranger. It was all done so elegantly well and executed perfectly. One of the best cinematic experiences you can play to this day. Please play this title.
Graphics:
No issues the game is beautiful
World design:
The world is very fun and cool to explore.
Gameplay:
Combat is incredibly fun for the majority of the game. I did find that it begun to drag towards the end of the game and felt a little repetitive. Moreover, many visually impressive moments in boss fights are done via cutscene which feels a little cheap.
Story:
Whilst the story has good aspects, I find it lackluster in its resolution considering how it is primarily centered around Atreus and Kratos. Their relationship never seems to develop massively and Kratos remains distant with no real interesting developments.

God of War totally rebooted the series in the best way possible. Kratos, the angry Spartan god we all know, is now a gruff dad living in Norse mythology with his son. It's a surprisingly heartfelt story about family and redemption, and the combat is brutal and satisfying. Exploring the gorgeous Norse world is a blast, and the boss fights are epic. Sure, the puzzles can be a bit meh, and the story is a slow burn at times, but overall it's an amazing adventure that everyone, even if they're not familiar with God of War before, should try.
