    God of War is a special game. This reimagining of the famous PlayStation franchise elevates the series in unexpected ways, without forgetting the core tenets that made Kratos a fan-favourite to begin with. This is a sprawling single player epic with an abundance of secrets and a storyline that keeps you hooked from start-to-finish. While it borrows liberally from other action adventure greats, its unique combat and outstanding artistic direction separate it from its immediate peers. A truly impressive achievement.

    Even though God of War may have lost its status as a PlayStation exclusive with its PC release, we firmly believe that delving into this new market is a great step for the franchise. This way Sony introduces some of its massive IPs to more gamers, who will eventually grow attached to these iconic characters as well.

    Overall, God of War on PC is the best way you can experience Boy Simulator, taking the already magnificent console release, and evolving it beyond its masterpiece status. It is brighter, more vibrant, and smoother in both combat and traversal.

    At the end of the day, God of War on PC is, well, God of War on PC. That might sound like a trite way to describe this port, but the fact that I found no major drawbacks or issues with this version of the game is basically all that you can hope for when publishers bring a console game to PC. The end product here shows that PlayStation is becoming much more experienced with this PC porting process, which isn't just a great thing for God of War, but it bodes well for the company's future plans in this space.

    God of War’s PC port is a must-have for fans of games with seamless combat and gorgeous graphics. Kratos’ story and character development as a father and mourning husband presents players with a heartbreakingly beautiful tale accompanied by vivid depictions of Norse mythology. Its visuals create immersive arenas to battle the living and the undead in over 40 hours of story gameplay. Whether fans are experiencing God of War for the first time or are weathered veterans of the franchise, nearly everyone can enjoy God of War’s PC port.

    God of War (PS4)

    The God of War universe dropping Greek Mythology in favor of Norse Mythology is a welcome change for me but along with this switching of setting came a change up in genre which was far less welcome. I'm not gonna pretend that throwing my axe at enemies and calling for it back over and over wasn't satisfying on some level but I still much prefer how the old God of War games controlled. But while the gameplay was a step down for me the story was a massive step up as I have never cared for Kratos or any other character in the franchise as much as i did here. Atreus can be annoying at times and some of his actions are obvious plot devices but he is still a complex character that I wanna keep an eye on and I'm definitely excited to see where this franchise goes when I finally play God of War Ragnarok.
