God of War (PS4)

This is definitely one of the best games of the year and a must have on the PlayStation 4. From the story to the visuals to the soundtrack, everything about this game makes you fall in love with it. The story is a very touching one where Kratos is now a father and is on a journey with his son. It is told in a wonderful way where you can really feel and relate to the characters in the game. I won't say much more about the story to avoid spoilers. The combat is easily on the best ones I've come across, it makes you wanna seek out every enemy in the world just so that you can swing your axe at them. There are a lot of customization options to use on your weapon that gives the combat a greater depth. The soundtrack goes really well with the Norse setting of the game while maintaining a hint of that classic God of War. And keep in mind this is a very different Kratos you play as, he is no longer that angry person seeking out to kill all the gods. He's a father trying to protect his child while making him learn more about their world. Visually it's stunning and runs smoothly even on my PS4 Slim and the photomode in the game creates great opportunities for all the screenshot lovers out there. Overall a must have game if you own a PS4, or even a game that's worth buying the PS4 for.

Undoubtedly the best PS 4 game ever , best gameplay across any console. Other game manufacturers take note, A new era of Console gaming has started and the bar is has been set very high.

INTRODUCTION God of War (which will also be refereed to as GOW in this review) is a third-person action-adventure, Greek mythological, hack-and-slash title developed by Sony’s Santa Monica Studio for Sony’s PlayStation gaming system. Ever since the release of first GOW in 2005, it has been a flagship title for the PlayStation brand, spanning over eight titles across multiple PlayStation systems. 2018’s GOW is the first original GOW title released on the PlayStation 4, which not a remaster or port of past titles. It is also the latest game released after God of War: Ascensions (2013). Not only does the latest installment change the tone of the game, but it is also the first time we get to see Kratos take up the role of a father figure. Can the hot-blooded Spartan warrior handle it? STORY 9/10 The story of GOW talks place after the events of God of War 3. Greece was completely destroyed in Kratos’ battle against the Olympian Gods and he has migrated to the land of the Vikings and Norse mythology. Over there, he manages to find a place he could call home and even managed to start a family. The story starts at the eve of Kratos’ wife, Faye’s death, leaving behind a son, Atreus who is still unaware of his true nature and it is Kratos’ responsibility to take care-of and teach him the ways of their world while still being haunted by the deeds of his past. Both son and father set out on a journey to fulfill Faye’s last wish which is for her ashes to be scattered from the highest point in all of the nine realms. The journey is made more complicated by the Norse Gods. We were a bit disappointed with the limited number of Norse gods that made an appearance in the game but the way things end is satisfying enough that it provides a sense of closure while still leaving enough room to work with if Santa Monica Studios ever decides to make another God of War game set in the same world. Every main titled god of war game has been a personal journey for Kratos with vengeance being the central theme, God of War (2018) takes a different approach that, it is still a personal journey, but instead of vengeance, this journey is about atonement and fulfillment of a loved ones last wish all the while building a bond Kratos had never experienced before, a bond between a father and a son, a bond of unconditional love. This approach is certainly a first for the God of War series and something very few would have believed to have worked as well as it did. GAMEPLAY 9.5/10 The gameplay, much like past entires is a third-person action-adventure title with some substantial changes. First and most obvious one being the game structure. The game is set in a semi-open world where objectives are broken into main story missions and sub-objectives or side missions. You can engage in only the story and completely avoid the side-missions if you do choose, but avoiding side-missions risks the chances of acquiring valuable loot and rewards attainable which could help you proceed the campaign more smoothly. As much as the game gives you an option to travel and experience the game world, it is, still at heart, a linear story based game. Another aspect that’s totally different from past titles is the camera controls. Previous titles opted to go with a fixed camera-angle where the camera was fixed in each area of the game and you would have little to no control over the camera. This method of camera control was replaced with an over-the-shoulder one where the camera can be manipulated by the players themselves. Fixed camera-angles always worked for the God of war series as it always played as a hack and slash title also, where they would try to fill the screen with as many enemies as possible. When being surrounded by such a large number of enemies, a wide-angle view is beneficial as it lets you know if an enemy is behind you or not or when and where to dodge when needed. This advantage is gone when the fixed camera-angles are ditched for a free-form camera. But the developers managed to find a solution for this potential issue; two actually. If you remember, Atreus, Kratos’ son also accompanies him on this journey and he acts as an assistant when it comes to combat. Atreus is a training archer and you can Command him to fire elemental-infused arrows at enemies which not only stuns them, but also at times distracts them. Not only that, but Atreus will also warn you if an enemy is behind you and is about to attack you. Along with Atreus, you also have a sort of ring indicator which warns you about enemies close-by you that are gonna attack by pointing and turning into a deeper red the closer the attacking enemy is to you. Speaking of attacking enemies, your mode of defense are not your iconic Blades of Chaos, but instead a axe called the Leviathan Axe and a shield. The Leviathan axe is a special axe infused with the ability of frost. This axe makes for a decent supplement for the Blades of Chaos as it is good for close and long-range attacks. You can upgrade the axe in two ways; one, by visiting the blacksmith and using special materials that you find along your journey. This update improves the physical strength of the axe. Another form of upgrade is to improve the performance of the axe by using Exp points that you gain which unlocks more combos and abilities. The later is also applicable onto other weapons such as the shield and Atreus’ bow. The shield acts as a defense tool which you should consider mastering as soon as possible as combat will be extremely difficult if you do not learn to block and parry attacks. Aside from these standard weapons, you will find more items to fill your arsenal along the way. The game also boasts a light RPG mechanic, which is a first for the series as well. You can craft (crafting requires materials which is scattered across the game world) or find Armor parts which you can then equip to your liking. Armor provides Kratos with stat boosts. You can even apply runes onto both your Armor and weapons. Armor runes give you status buffs while Weapon runes give you special attacks. Armor and runes are also ranked from Common to Legendary. The game also incorporates light puzzle mechanics in between all the frantic combat and exploring much like past entries. Most of the puzzle sections are easy to get-by but what ever is there is pretty creative. Some share small similarities to The Legend of Zelda series. But there are times where the sheer variety is just lacking. Once you solve a puzzle, the next one is bound to be somewhat similar. We should also point out that there are times when the combat can get a bit difficult unless you plan out your strategies first and we can’t stress enough to practice and master parrying. The entire gameplay is, in short, a major overhaul. We can even call it a modernization to some extent. Does all this work? Most definitely. VISUALS & PERFORMANCE 10/10 The game runs at 1080p@30fps on standard PS4 and the PS4 Pro offers the option to run the game in checkerboard rendered 4K@30fps. We tested the game on a standard PS4 and the game manages to run at a solid 30fps for the most part with seldom dips here and there. The game even manages to maintain its 30fps during hectic combat sequences. On the PS4 Pro, it’s a completely different story. The offers you the option to choose between resolution and performance mode. Resolution mode let’s you play the game in checkerboard rendered 4K@30fps with few frame-rate drops. Performance mode lets you play the game at a higher frame-rate mode. It seems like the game is targeting a 60fps but often misses to hit the mark. On the visual stand-point, this game is a technical marvel. This is one of the most breath-taking games available on console right now. Every single asset used in the game screams attention to detail. “Photogenic” is a word which is best used to describe this title because of how the devs used filters to get be a certain pop to the large assortment of areas and scenes. Everything from character details, cloths physics, environmental details, volumetric lighting, character motion and shadow effects is marvelously crafted and executed. The game has no loading screens except for when you die or boot-up the game. This is also the first game that boasts a single-shot experience. Meaning the game does not cut in any moment except for when you die. This makes the game feel like one entire journey with zero interruptions. AUDIO 10/10 The audio performance is also another marvel which the game manages to achieve. The GOW series always opted to go for a orchestral melody which always heightened the significants the Greek theme the series had always going for it. They’ve managed to repeat the same level of excellence with a touch of Nordic tune this time around which not only sounds great but also helps to elevate the tension in between scenes. Even the voice work has been done masterfully. With a touch quality not seen in many games except for AAA titles. Every voice actor involved with this game did a magnificent job. OVERALL SCORE : STORY : 9/10 GAMEPLAY : 9.5/10 VISUALS & PERFORMANCE : 10/10 AUDIO : 10/10 TOTAL SCORE : 38.5 96.25% rate of approval CONCLUSION This is without a doubt the best God of War title to date and is certainly a game anyone with a PlayStation 4 system should consider playing. This also acts as a reminder to companies that consider long story based single player experiences to be a dying trend. And for those out there, contemplating of getting a PS4 system or not. Now is the best time to jump on-board and grab one. This game is simply worth it. Our love for the series was ignited again after playing this title and can’t wait to see how they intend to proceed with the title. NOTES :- The game was play tested on a Standard PS4 with screenshots used to for the video being taken by us during our playtime. Performance analysis was conducted using both Primary and Secondary data. If anyone has any further questions regarding the game, feel free to ask on the game’s “ask a question” section in the page and someone or we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

God Of War (2018) takes a different path with Kratos and his son fulfilling a deeply personal quest. The story is one of the best I've experienced in single player campaigns. You can feel the emotional conflict in Kratos when he tries to protect his son. Graphically, I have nothing to say about this game. It is the best looking game on PS4 so far. I don't even have a PS4 pro, it still looks spectacular on a normal PS4. Even after completing the main story, there's tons of stuff to do. You can unlock 4 realms (worlds) that has nothing to do with the main campaign. The main story took me around 20-25 hours to beat. If you play all the side quests, it'll take you more than 40 hours to beat the entire game. In the end, Sony is constantly proving every year that single player campaigns will never die anytime soon. You don't need multiplayer to attract gamers. All you need is a good story, great characters. And I'm glad I chose PS4 over XBOX (it's not even up for a discussion). PS4 has a wide array of exclusives that Xbox has no answer for. I'll rate this 10/10 without blinking an eye.

This game is full of hype. i bought a PS4 couple of days ago and just like everyone, i completed uncharted 4, horizon zero dawn, the last of us, witcher 3, metal gear solid V and some other bestsellers. After playing God of War just after the last of us, God of war seems dull and boring. God of war's graphics fades away in comparison to horizon zero dawn and uncharted 4. Graphics are still extraordinary but the gameplay is very very repetitive. God of war is always known for its boss fights, Boss fights are really dull in this new entry in the series . Baldur looks like a kid, we face trolls and ogres nearly countless times with varying colors and facial changes. We travel to same places again and again. whole game is an escort mission to take the kid up the mountain to scatter his mother's ashes. Story is not well developed even the director Cory Barlog mentioned this in some sort of neglect in his new interview. He also said that he didn't expected this kind of high ratings. Afterall i think sony paid all the well known critics and youtube stars. They can buyout all critics in couple million dollars and can make a multi billion dollar box office. Almost 20 - 30% of sony's revenue is earned from its gaming division, you can understand when they release a game which they put 5 years in development, they will be looking for really good returns. Failure is not an option for them even if they made a dull game in a outdated genre compared to the modern combat genres in the likes of dark souls, nioh. Still I feel the combat system is unique in its own ways. I am only focusing on which i thought are the bad aspects of this game because i bought the game on release. Just completed the game today, killed baldur in the last fight and got the secret ending where they show Thor. The game have many good as well as some great aspects. They redesigned the game with the axe, which is fantastic the combat system is classic if you compare with old god of war or other hack n slash games but it is still very repetitive, same fights with draugr and elves again and again until you will become really frustrated. Old God of War games got one thing really special "The Story" which this game lacks. I recommend to wait until the price drops before you buy this game, buy Last of us or Horizon instead right now. I recommend you to wait some months and save some cash for The Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 will transcend open world games, like almost all other Rockstar games did at the time of their release. I think in a world of honest reviews this game has gotten ratings in between , 7-7.5 on ign and metacritic. The Graphics are still 9, They are really good.

God of war is the best game for this generation.it shows the reality of gaming and mechanics of game.IT IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR THOSE WHO LIKES VIOLENCE!!!!!.the graphics of the game are mind blowing.it is equivalent or better than the uncharted series.kratos and Atreus both are amazing characters.Give me balanced war difficulty is good for starters.the main point is 100% spoiler free.the trolls are excellent and relationship between son and father is pretty good. Now talking about pre ordering of Amazon had a bad experience this time.i got it after 4 days of release which is really disappointing point.for this reason I don't want to spoil the rating of game. Dynamic theme given for this game is excellent and don't miss it....

God of War deserves to be in the collection of every PlayStation 4 Owner. This isn't your usual GOW game, this game has a heart, it explores the difficulties of Parenting, the Two Key characters in this game are both parents looking out for their children pitted against each other by fate. Kratos as a character is someone we can empathize with this time. The Norse mythology is embedded in the DNA of this game, and the combat is badass as usual, The Leviathan axe is a great addition to the weapons, Also, this game is difficult as hell, Don't even try choosing the "Give Me God Of War" Difficulty at your first shot at this game, you will be pulling out your hair in no time.

This is a dark, mature action adventure game that will last around ~20-30 hour game (with no filler content) depending on how much you explore, and difficulty level you selected with emphasis on quality over quantity. The game has a very nice pacing/progression system that feels very natural. The game does not hand hold you, or set you to your own devices; rather gives you enough information to figure things out on your own Different from past God of War (GOW) games is that, this game is a over shoulder 3rd person view vs isometric view (camera with birds eye view panning in and out). The camera is very tight fixed, and behind kratos making it more grounded and personal. Entire game is pretty much one-shot (assuming you don't get any game over screen). The game has beautiful environment and the lighting is very impressive. It runs 1080p 30fps on PS4 (original or slim) 4k 30fps, and performance mode 1080 60fps (dips at times) on the PS4 Pro If you play on PS4 pro it's preferred you play at 30fps. The combat this time around is less combo based than past games, and more methodical as it's more about precision hits, quick turns*, and dodging; being aware of your surroundings due to the fixed over the shoulder view. So 60fps is not really necessary unless maybe you're playing on the hardest difficulty mode. * For quick turns there's a learning curve to keep form being disoriented during right corridors. Sound is amazing. Get your headset or home theater system ready because you're in for a treat as the game has really nice surround sound option. Does not support 3D audio in the PlayStation Platinum headset which is disapointing. Hope they add it in, in the future. Music typical for GOW games with drums, string instruments and orchestral vocals that really gets you pumped up There are some audio ques that help unlock hidden items so keep an ear out Interaction/dialogue with kratos and his son feel very real and not dialed in or exaggerated. very nice banter between the two and other characters as well -Story: As mentioned before, very mature yet dark. The story is more narrative driven and has more character development than past games where you're just full of rage and kill everything in sight. Each character has complex motivations in what they're set out to do Takes place in Norse mythology instead of Geek The main plot is that Kratos' wife has died and she wants her ashes spread from the highest mountain Kratos takes his son with him on this journey and through a bonding experience they both grow stronger as they reach their final destination. the journey isn't that simple as it seems as there are twist and turns along the way and enemies they have to face You do get some insight on how Kratos reach this land after GOW3, but it's sprinkled throughout instead of one long exposition Side quests brings out lore of the game and also way to upgrade your skill tree There are boat sections in the game where Kratos gives his son life lessons, conversely his son gives inside knowledge of the world he learned through observation/what he learned from his mother; which makes you more invested in the characters. -Gameplay The combat has a lot of layers/options to it. Instead of Quick Timed Events (QTE) there's a stun meter which which needs to be filled up for kratos make his signature final finishing moves on enemies. Feels very natural as you don't get a huge button prompt the middle of the screen I like how the core combat is mapped to the trigger buttons instead of the face buttons making combat feel more natural There's a skill tree that cater to how you want to play: defensive, offensive, focus on physical or magical attacks, range vs close combat, master a weapon over the other, etc You can upgrade weapons and armor by collecting materials Kratos' main weapon this time around is the leviathan axe (very similar to Thor's (Marvel movies/comics) weapon Mjolnir) instead of his chained blades of chaos. You can throw the axe and have it call back to you like a boomerang. You can swing and throw the axe at enemies and fun to master as you have to judge the timing of when the axe will return to you as without your axe you may only have your bare fists to do battle till it comes back There is some strategy involved especially in the higher difficulty settings. Some enemies are super effective against certain weapons/skills you have to be aware of Krato's son comes along with you on the journey and is able to help with by stunning/detract enemies with an arrow which you can control the activation. Overtime as he becomes more experienced in combat more options are available. He'll also yell out tips when needed** or jump onto enemies to slow them down. Also you can view his journals after you defeat an enemy to find out hidden weaknesses **Seeing the camera is so tight, he'll give you tips you are not able to see at times due to blind spots Armor and clothes can be crafted, purchased, or upgraded via dwarf blacksmiths in game . It changes krato's physical appearance in game. Some armor/clothing piece has slots for enchantments which effects stats Enemies attack you gorilla style as they can attack at anytime they want instead of gathering up in a circle and attacking one by one. Each enemy have different variety of skills, health, size, weakness and speed There are backtracking at times that builds on exploration. Also the environments sometimes change when going back making the location feel different yet the same. There's also hidden areas you cannot access until you get a particular item giving the game this somewhat of a metriod-mania style to it Through mini objectives like kills specific about of enemies to get exp rewards Side quest gives you glimpse of story narrative, exp gain and or material. It doesn't feel like fetch quests or something you have to do to directly upgrade your character . There's no fluff and the side quests does not feel tacked on as it feels necessary, yet optional You'll naturally stumble onto some side quests as the map only shows an overview of the land with a compass that points you to your main objective. Fast travel is limited, making exploration in the forefront. There's not too many side quests making it feel open and direct at the same time As of this review, this is best PS4 game in my opinion. Sets a new standard for video games
