God of War is a reboot of the old classic hack&slash formula of the older GoW titles, released after many years of waiting as a PS4 exclusive and later released also on PC.
One of the best-looking games so far, it really shows the capabilities of the PS4 and PS4 Pro, really pushing them to the limits. Even if it's so demanding, the game never showed any frame drops as far as I noticed even when played on Enhanced Resolution Mode on PS4 Pro.
Apart from that, this game differs much from previous GoW titles. This time we don't only have combat and puzzle solving, but also a unforgettable story where we have the opportunity to see Kratos as a completely different person. We see that Kratos decided to change himself and tried to escape from the past, but it's easier said than done.
The game gives you a great story, maybe a little bit short but a sweet one. There were some times the story practically seemed to reach the end, but suddenly, something happens, which I liked, as I than knew the story isn't over yet.
The combat system is improved of course, drastically improved. You spend experience points in order to get new moves and new abilities. You upgrade or buy new gear both for Kratos and Atreus, at some point, you will realize while exploring that some enemies are stronger and here comes the part when you will have to spend some time upgrading your gear.
All in all, a great story, fantastic combat system, beautiful graphics, maybe the best-looking game so far. The game gives you a solid +50 hours of gameplay, both thrilling and memorable (completing side-quests, finding collectibles and beating bosses included)
