The return of the furious Spartan warrior was made well. God of War is already a great contender for game of the year and you shouldn't miss it. [Issue#285]

Once mastered, God of War’s combat is one of the most rewarding I have tried in a long time. Kratos becomes a hurricane of death and destruction, blocking, shield bashing, slicing, dicing, spinning around and throwing his axe at an enemy further away, while pummeling closer monsters with punches and kicks, and then recalling the weapon to catch two more draugr in the back, before going in for one of the several spectacular finishers. It’s fast, complex, addictive, and exhilarating, but I never once felt like I wasn’t in control.

God of War is the best example of how you should manage the beginning of a new era for an established brand, in every entertainment media. It’s the pinnacle of Sony’s will to promote creative freedom for its first party studios. It’s a melting pot made of old school video game elements and technical mastery, a great script and revolutionary ideas.

God of War is the fourth "main" game in the franchise, but in so many aspects is also a first and by far a better game than the rest of them. Good story, great gameplay and fantastic voice acting make GoW something really special.

An excellent, essential update of a PlayStation icon. Kratos has never been more relevant or relatable. [June 2018, p.72]

God of War very effectively achieves its mission to be a good reboot of the saga and a good sequel. Each one of the days of the five years of development of this new delivery is evident in the great values of production in each one of the sections, materializing perfectly in the constant sequence plane. Perhaps we only regret not having been presented with something truly original mechanically and not a mixture of ingredients that we have seen in other titles.

It’s ironic that a story about the value of discipline and restraint would feel like it needs more time in the editing room, but that’s the new God of War – promising but aimless. I like the new Kratos, but I hope his next adventure is more focused than this, and I pray that it actually gives him something interesting to do.

Simplesmente o melhor jogo de aventura e ação, as boas fights são maravilhosas e a história também

Looks beautiful, controls great and the story keeps it interesting. For me, it falls short with the combat feeling repetitive after a while, and the camera just feels awkward being placed like a third person shooter close behind Kratos when it's melee combat.

A história e o enredo do jogo são muito bons, e a gameplay é excelente. As lutas são muito bem feitas. O jogo também tem uma progressão muito boa.

Honnêtement, j'ai pas aimé, pas fait les anciens donc je ne peux pas comparer avec. L'histoire est nulle, le seul bon perso est Kratos (et encore), donne pas envie de voir la suite
