God of War

When i first saw God of war reveal i am disappointed due to the slow pace combat due to the action heavy style in the previous. I thought it went towards the soulsborne series. Today when i got the copy(I preordered it anyway due to love towards the franchise), I thought ill get fights more of survival than action but hell kratos is still kicks ass be it with new AXE or be in bare hands and spartan rage is best among the series. Story wise i have just played two hours so not much to say but the first major boss battle is enough to tell that this game is epic. and kratos with his anger management and saying anger to be controlled looks like he learned the lesson and teaches to the fellow whom it needs most.

Overall its a great action game, little early in review but will update this review once i finish the game and as of now its 10/10

A common term that has been bouncing around Game developers of late has been that single player games are dead and that multiplayer games are the way of the future due to their popularity. God of War came to blow that statement out of the water and it did just that. What I love most about this masterpiece is the people behind it. Within just the first hour of playing you can really tell that the incredible team at Sony Santa Monica poured their hearts into this game. Within a short period of time we are introduced to new and yet familar Kratos and his son Atreus. The combat feels fresh and as fluid as ever. But nothing and I mean NOTHING beats the feeling of throwing the Leviathan (Kratos Axe) for the first time only to recall it and feel a slight rumble in the controller as you catch it makes you feel like you are actually Kratos. The greatest part of this game is getting to watch and experience the relationship between Kratos and Atreus grow and evole into one of the most epic Father/Son stories told of all time. What blew my mind was that a game that has rougly a 20-25 hour story plus with an additional 10-15 hours of side content to tackle is that it is all done in one seemless shot. Thats right no breaks to cutscenes, no loading screens, nothing! Apart from when you die of coarse. I can honestly tell you there were times that I wasnt sure if I was supposed to controll Kratos or if it was a cutscene because they are both as one when it comes to God of War. Even as the end credits roll you are never taken away from the game. That's right it throws you right back into Midguard to finish any unfinished tasks you may need to complete. I have played every entry in the God of War series and I can honestly say this is their greatest one yet. From its gripping and appealing story, incredible scense of immersion to its fluid and addictive combat it is safe to say Sony Santa Monica has officially set the standard of single player games to a whole new level and has changed the way we play games forever. So thank you to everyone at Sony Santa Monica for this incredible experience and I look forward to seeing the next Chapter in the God of War series.

I haven't finished the game yet but I've put a good amount of time into it and all I have to say is, "I love this game!" You can really tell every person involved in this game actually took their time to make something this incredible. The game keeps you on your feet 100% of the time, and there's never a dull moment. I'm not exaggerating at all...Though I did not play the other GOW games, I'm still addicted to this game. Get the game and take your time with it. It's a masterpiece!
