God of War is the fifth full-fledged entry in the legendary series of slasher games. It is the first installment developed exclusively for the eighth generation console. The title was developed by the creators of the previous games in the series, Santa Monica Studios – the first-party studio of Sony Interactive Entertainment. The God of War series is focused on spectacular, blood-filled action and impressive system of battles against powerful bosses. The protagonist, a Greek warrior named Kratos, quickly became a gaming icon.

Plot

Kratos is once again the main protagonist of God of War. After wraith and madness-filled adventures in Greece that ended with the destruction of Olymp and death of many of Greece gods and heroes, the protagonist escapes to the far North where he looks for peace. There he finds a new love and starts a family. When his wife suddenly dies, he remains alone with a young son named Atreus.

God of War Game Series

God of War is a series of action adventure games with a third-person perspective (TPP) view. The authors of the series strongly allude to the convention of so-called slashers (hack'n'slash) - the essence of gameplay here is the brutal elimination of hordes of enemies and fighting giant bosses. Bloody carnage is interspersed with simple logic puzzles and simple platforming elements. The series also offers the possibility to develop the protagonist and improve his arsenal.

Game Informer: 9.8 / 10 by Joe Juba

An enthralling experience from beginning to end, with a mixture of great narrative moments and engaging encounters. God of War is a well-paced adventure that knows when to let the action simmer and when to make it boil over

Full Review

GameSpot: 9 / 10 by Phil Hornshaw

God of War isn't drastically different on PC when compared to the PS4 version that launched back in 2018, but its little improvements are definitely nice ones, making this a solid PC port overall. There isn't reason enough here to buy a second copy of the game if you've already played, necessarily, but the PC version is a great reason to check out God of War for the first time for anybody who hasn't had a chance to experience it. God of War remains an excellent, gorgeous, affecting action game, and with the port to PC, it gets a handful of nice, if somewhat minor, improvements.

The main pros of the game

  • Deep and Engaging Story: The narrative focuses on themes of fatherhood, grief, and personal growth, particularly in the relationship between Kratos and his son, Atreus. Many s praised the emotional depth and character development.
  • Impressive Graphics: The visuals are consistently described as beautiful and stunning, with detailed environments and character models that enhance immersion.
  • Satisfying Combat Mechanics: The combat system is noted for its tactical depth, offering a mix of brutal melee action and strategic gameplay. The introduction of the Leviathan Axe and the role of Atreus in combat are highlighted as standout features.
  • Exploration and World Design: The game allows for exploration across various realms, with unique atmospheres and handcrafted details that encourage players to uncover secrets and engage with side quests.
  • High Replay Value: Despite some criticisms regarding replayability, many s appreciated the post-story content, optional bosses, and side quests that add to the overall experience.

The main cons of the game

  • Technical Issues: Some players experienced minor bugs, such as crashes and texture glitches, although these were generally considered minor.
  • Repetitive Combat and Enemy Types: A few s noted that the combat could become repetitive, especially with limited enemy variety and finishers.
  • Pacing and Slow Start: Several reviews mentioned a slow beginning that takes time to build momentum, although the game picks up significantly after a few hours.
  • Limited Exploration: Some players felt that the open world was not as expansive as expected, with certain areas feeling more linear than others.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to s

  • Higher Replayability Options: While the game offers some post-game content, players expressed a desire for more substantial replayability features, such as a traditional New Game Plus mode (though it was added later).
  • Variety in Bosses and Enemies: A call for more diverse enemy types and boss mechanics was noted, as some felt the existing ones became predictable over time.
  • More Dynamic Exploration: s suggested that the exploration could be enhanced with more interactive elements, as some sections felt like disguised loading screens or overly linear.

Summary

  • Overall, "God of War" (2018) is celebrated for its storytelling, graphics, and combat mechanics, while also facing some critiques regarding repetitiveness and pacing.
