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.

Stunning, fun, emotional, atmospheric

Dunno why I have waited so long to play this masterpiece, perhaps I was afraid it was one of those games for people who like punishing meaningless fights; well, I was wrong, and right at the same time: you see, people like that would have the option to get their buttocks kicked to their heart's desires, while people like me that likes stories and amazing companions will also be fully satisfied, while skipping the optional annoying areas. Developing a relationship with my boy Atreus feels amazing, the Norse setting is a thing of beauty, levelling up feels as natural as upgrading your gear (the two are in fact strictly related), the fights... oooh the fights.. The acting is fantastic, the interaction with the environment is great. Seriously the only thing I could complain about is fast-travel not being that fast (you need to walk for a bit in a transition area). Other than that I would 100% recommend this to any fellow gamers, with the exception of the impatient ones that get annoyed by the smallest amount of cutscenes (this is clearly not for you)
