Description
Enter the Norse realm
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.

Grasp a second chance
Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son.

Journey to a dark, elemental world of fearsome creatures
From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

Engage in visceral, physical combat
With an over the shoulder camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War™ mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the God of War series while presenting a vision of conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

Sony Santa Monica has evolved Kratos in God of War and in the process delivered a technical and narrative showpiece that any PS4 fan should be proud of.

Seamlessly Excellent

Pros: - Staggeringly good gameplay - Graphics are wonderful - Load times virtually non-existent Cons: - Nearly maxes out my system; Ryzen 5 5600X, GeForce GTX 3060 12GB, 64GB RAM. Fans be fanning hard. - Occasional hiccup in dialog when something is loading Overall, I've been sinking a lot of time into this and I just cannot get over how immersive it is. The fact that there aren't loading screens beyond the main menu/dying is something special. 'Handheld' camera POV makes the adventure much more realistic. This might be the first game I 100% in years.
